Method to adjust the ambient lighting in a Mercedes-Benz: 1. Start the vehicle and power it on; 2. Click the touchscreen button on the upper right of the steering wheel; 3. Use the COMAND system on the display to find the vehicle settings and select the lighting options; 4. Choose the ambient lighting and select the desired color. Mercedes-Benz models include the E-Class, S-Class, G-Class, and GLS-Class. Taking the 2020 Mercedes-Benz G 350 as an example, its body dimensions are 4866mm in length, 1931mm in width, and 1968mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2890mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.

I find Mercedes-Benz's ambient lighting adjustment quite intuitive, especially when operated through the central control screen. After starting the vehicle, open the 'Settings' menu on the central display, locate 'Vehicle Settings' or directly enter the 'Ambient Lighting' option. Here, you can slide to adjust brightness, choosing from soft to bright levels; you can also select your preferred hue from the color library, such as blue or purple – some newer models support switching between 64 colors. Additionally, don’t forget to check the lighting modes, which offer static and dynamic effects. Dynamic effects change like flowing water, enhancing cabin comfort. Note that these settings should be adjusted while parked to ensure driving safety. The Mercedes system intelligently syncs with music beats, automatically changing during drives to add fun to your journey. Regularly check for lighting firmware updates to avoid malfunctions and ensure every trip is cozy and safe. The entire process takes just a few minutes and becomes very convenient once you get the hang of it.

What does the TC light with a slash mean in the Envision?

The yellow TC light with a slash in the Envision is the Traction Control System indicator. Press the button below the gear shift mechanism, then turn off the ignition and restart to reset the system, and the yellow TC light with a slash will turn off. If the warning light remains on or lights up again while driving, repairs are needed. Possible causes for the TC light to illuminate include: solenoid valve failure; dirty oil clogging the solenoid valve filter; wear on the actuator gear and impeller, leading to oil pressure leakage and triggering the alarm; dirty throttle with an opening reaching 20%; or the engine computer misjudging a TC fault. The working principle of the Traction Control System involves replacing the mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle with an electronic throttle device. Sensors transmit the accelerator pedal's information to the ECU, which then generates a control voltage signal based on this information. The motor adjusts the throttle according to the signal, thereby reducing the throttle opening and controlling wheel slip. For drivers operating vehicles in rainy or snowy conditions, this can help reduce occurrences of wheel slip or loss of control.

What are the basic maintenance items for a car?

Basic car maintenance items include oil and oil filter replacement, air filter replacement, fuel filter replacement, and spark plug maintenance. Below are the details of basic maintenance items: 1. Oil and oil filter: Primarily for the maintenance of the lubrication system. The main function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, the car should be serviced every 5,000 km. 2. Air filter: The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The fuel filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 km. 3. Spark plugs: Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 km. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injector, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

Which is Bigger, Subcompact or Compact?

Compact cars generally have larger exterior dimensions and interior space compared to subcompact cars, allowing them to accommodate more passengers. Below are the relevant details: 1. Subcompact cars: Suitable for small families without children, they feature low displacement, offering not only fuel efficiency but also lower taxes due to environmental friendliness. Subcompact cars typically refer to A0-class vehicles within the A-segment. These cars usually have a wheelbase ranging from 2.2 to 2.3 meters (some models may vary) and engine displacements between 1.0 and 1.3 liters. Subcompact cars are known for their low fuel consumption and compact size, providing more comfortable and spacious interiors compared to microcars. 2. Compact cars: The most common family cars, usually hatchbacks. Competition in this segment is intense, with only those offering the best overall value succeeding. They are the most prevalent family vehicles, featuring wheelbases typically between 2.5 and 2.7 meters and engine displacements around 1.6 to 2.0 liters. In China, compact cars, including domestic brands, joint ventures, and pure imports, cover a price range from 50,000 to 300,000 yuan, making them the dominant segment in the current automotive market.

Will the air conditioner cool without starting the engine?

In conventional fuel-powered vehicles, the air conditioner will not cool without starting the engine, because the air conditioning system in such vehicles relies on the engine to operate. If the car is not started, the air conditioner cannot be used. However, in electric vehicles, the air conditioner can be turned on even when the car is not started. When the car is not started, the air conditioner switch can be turned on, but the air conditioner itself does not function—only the fan operates. This is because the air conditioner requires significant power, which the car battery cannot sustain. Therefore, if the engine is not running, the air conditioner automatically enters a protection mode and does not operate. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the vehicle. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and enhances driving safety. Different types of air conditioning systems have varying layouts. Passenger cars commonly use an integrated heating and cooling system, where components such as the evaporator, heater core, centrifugal blower, and control mechanisms are assembled together, forming the air conditioning unit. The car air conditioning controller is a control device for the car air conditioning system. It regulates the system, enabling cooling, ventilation, and defrosting functions. All equipment is securely installed, with control devices and operating mechanisms functioning smoothly and safely.

What Are the Dangers of Using the Front Brake on a Motorcycle?

When using the front brake on a motorcycle, the rider may be thrown forward. Below is a detailed introduction to the dangers of using the front brake on a motorcycle: 1. Overturning: During riding, applying the front brake shifts the motorcycle's center of gravity forward. If not operated properly, there is a high risk of overturning. At higher speeds, using the front brake transfers all the weight to the front, making the rear lighter, which can easily cause the rear wheel to lift and result in a dangerous rollover. This is an extremely hazardous maneuver. Therefore, when riding a motorcycle, especially at higher speeds, it is crucial to avoid using the front brake. 2. Rear-end collision: Emergency braking also carries the risk of being rear-ended by the vehicle behind, a common scenario in urban driving. If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, after applying the emergency brake, it is advisable to ease off the brake slightly to allow the bike to roll forward a bit, giving the following vehicle some buffer space. Otherwise, if the bike comes to a complete stop, the vehicle behind may have no choice but to collide to force a stop.
