To adjust the time on a Mercedes-Benz, follow these steps: 1. Start the vehicle and power on the electrical system; 2. Locate the settings button on the central display screen and enter the settings interface; 3. Find and select the time option in the interface; 4. Use the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust the time; 5. After setting the time, press the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to confirm. Taking the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4784mm, width 1810mm, height 1457mm, wheelbase 2920mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, and the body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.

I often adjust the time on my Mercedes-Benz, and it feels quite convenient. Generally, the time setting needs to be operated on the central console. First, check if there's a small display button on the left side of the steering wheel, hold it for a few seconds to enter the settings interface. Then, turn the dial or button to adjust the hours and minutes, and press confirm to finish. However, note that older Mercedes models might require more complex steps, such as turning off the radio before adjusting. I've tried it on a new car before, just find the vehicle settings through the touchscreen, slide to the time zone option, and adjust it slowly. It's best to stop the car before adjusting the time to avoid distractions and ensure safety. With the correct time set, the navigation system can be precise, and the automatic headlights also rely on this time. If adjusted incorrectly, the whole system might get messed up. I think it's good to check regularly, especially after changing the battery as the time will reset, so it's best to jot down the steps for future reference.

What are the differences between 95via gasoline and 95# gasoline?

The 'via' label added after gasoline actually refers to the China VI-A (Phase 1) fuel standard. 95via gasoline is a 95-octane fuel that complies with the China VI-A standard. Starting from January 1, 2019, China has fully supplied gasoline (including E10 ethanol gasoline) and diesel (including B5 biodiesel) that meet the mandatory national standard of the sixth stage (VIA for gasoline and VI for diesel), while discontinuing the domestic sales of gasoline (including E10 ethanol gasoline) below the China VIA standard and diesel (including B5 biodiesel) below the China VI standard. Below is an extended introduction: Advantages of via gasoline: Due to the further reduction of harmful components, it significantly benefits both engine performance (reducing carbon deposits) and exhaust emissions. Compared to China V fuel, via gasoline can greatly reduce vehicle maintenance and repair costs. In summary, the introduction of Document No. 16 not only strengthens fuel quality management and control but also effectively extends the service life of engines.

What are the differences between company-registered vehicles and privately-registered vehicles?

The differences between company-registered vehicles and privately-registered vehicles are as follows: 1. Different documents required for registration. Company registration requires business license, IC card, organization code certificate, capital verification report, etc. Private registration only requires ID card, and for non-local residents, additional documents such as household registration and temporary residence permit are needed. 2. Different payment responsibilities. The purchase price of company-registered vehicles should be paid by the company. Privately-registered vehicles must be paid by the individual. 3.

Do front and rear brake discs need to be replaced together?

No, replacement depends on the thickness of the brake pads. The front pads should be checked after 50,000 kilometers, and they need to be replaced if the thickness is around 3-4mm. The rear pads should be checked around 80,000 kilometers, and replacement is needed if the thickness is 3-4mm. Here is additional information: 1. Car brake pad wear warning light: Most cars are equipped with a brake pad wear warning light, which serves as a reminder for the owner to replace the brake pads early. Those who care for their cars can visit a 4S shop in advance. If you're worried about being misled, check the wear condition when the 4S staff inspects it. If the brake pads are below 5mm, consider replacement. Around 2mm, wear accelerates, marking a dangerous thickness range. It's best to replace them when the light comes on. 2. Regular inspection: Under normal driving conditions, the car's brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. Not only should the remaining thickness be checked, but also the wear condition of the pads.

What does ESC malfunction mean?

When a car indicates an ESC system malfunction, it means there is a fault in the Electronic Stability Control system, and the vehicle's electronic stability control is not functioning at that moment. The illumination of the ESC warning light is a relatively complex issue, usually caused by a software system alert or due to sensor failure or wiring short circuits. Diagnosing this problem can be quite troublesome, so it is best to promptly visit a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. How to resolve ESC system malfunction: Press the ESC OFF button located in the center of the dashboard to deactivate ESC. When the ESC function is deactivated (indicated by the ESC OFF light being on), pressing the ESC OFF button again will reactivate ESC. The ESC OFF light on the dashboard will turn off, and the ESC system will resume operation. Function of the ESC system: When the ESC system is activated to correct vehicle stability, it reduces speed, requiring extra attention to road conditions. The ESC system is only a supplementary vehicle system and cannot control the car when instability exceeds physical limits. Do not rely solely on the system; always drive safely. When ESC is active, you may hear some noise from the brake pedal or other related systems or feel slight vibrations, which are caused by pressure changes within those systems.
