To check the engine oil level in a Mercedes-Benz GLC300, pull out the engine oil dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to read the level. The oil level should be measured when the engine is static. The oil level is considered acceptable if it falls between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick—not above the upper mark nor below the lower mark. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Exterior: There haven't been many adjustments, with the biggest highlight being the lengthening, indicated by the addition of the letter 'L' after the tail emblem to signify its long-wheelbase version. The overall design is smooth and rounded, featuring a simple and elegant front face, graceful and harmonious side profile, and a full and appealing rear end, perfectly aligning with modern consumer aesthetics. The dual-slat grille pairs with a large emblem, while the AMG sport package includes front and rear skirts with high-gloss silver premium elements, highlighting the GLC's youthful and stylish attributes. 2. Interior: The interior follows the Mercedes-Benz family design, with classic twin-dial instrument clusters combining mechanical pointers and a color screen. The central screen displays a wealth of information, complemented by luxurious wood grain trim and leather wrapping, creating an upscale ambiance. The floating center console is controlled via the COMMAND system, integrating navigation, radio, media, phone, and vehicle settings, and supports CarPlay, CarLife, Android Auto, and internet connectivity. The triple-round air vent design adds strong visual impact.

When to Add Antifreeze?

Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement cycle should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze level regularly and top it up promptly if it is insufficient. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. Types of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water, glycerin-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to Choose Antifreeze: The key indicators for antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Available antifreeze products in the market come with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Functions of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is non-corrosive and is a specialized coolant containing additives. It is primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze provides excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round.

How to deal with driving at 112 in a 100 speed limit zone on the highway?

Driving at 112 in a 100 speed limit zone on the highway means exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, which results in 6 penalty points. Additionally, drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20% will receive 3 penalty points. Drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 50% will receive 12 penalty points. Below is the relevant information: 1. Highways should indicate the speed limit for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and the minimum speed not less than 60 km/h. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars should not exceed 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 km/h. 2. For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; for roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 km/h. If the speed limit indicated by road signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs.

How to use usewith in a car?

usewith is used together with the external circulation. The meaning of usewith is to turn on the external circulation for defrosting. A reminder that when using the defrost function, it is necessary to switch to the external air circulation. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. When adjusted to usewith, the air conditioner forcibly activates strong defrosting, meaning the air conditioner automatically blows air to the front windshield and turns on the external circulation, quickly removing fog inside the car. This should be introduced in the car's user manual. 2. The fogging of the windshield is mainly caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperature inside the car is high while the outside temperature is low, the windshield will also be cold. At this time, the moisture in the air inside the car will condense upon contact with the cold windshield, forming fog on the windshield and obstructing the view.

How Many Kilometers Can a New Energy Vehicle Travel per Kilowatt-hour?

Under normal circumstances, in the NEDC combined cycle, a new energy vehicle can generally travel between 5 to 8 kilometers per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on the energy consumption performance of different electric vehicles. However, according to the law of energy conservation, the greater the curb weight, the higher the energy consumption per 100 kilometers will be, meaning the distance traveled per kilowatt-hour will decrease. Introduction to new energy vehicles: 1. Definition: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include four main types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices).

What does the EPC light on a car mean?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two scenarios: during the power-on self-test and under other conditions. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is checking the status of all sensors before driving. Typically, if the engine is not started, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC light remains on after the vehicle starts or illuminates under other circumstances, the possible causes include faults in the engine intake system, throttle issues, fuel system problems, engine malfunctions, ECU control unit failures, or brake light faults. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other conditions: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will alert when the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake, triggering the indicator light. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel degradation, or poor fuel atomization can cause the light to illuminate. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with the intake valves and other powertrain components can also activate the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: Interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the computer may trigger the light. Brake light fault: Situations like non-functioning brake lights, faulty brake switches, or brake circuit issues can lead to the EPC light turning on. Solutions for when the EPC light illuminates: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components. Re-flash the ECU with updated data. If the EPC light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the light remains illuminated. If it does not come back on, there may be no issue, possibly just a temporary interference. However, if the EPC light stays on or frequently illuminates, it is advisable to drive to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and repair to promptly address any safety hazards.

Why Can't New Energy Vehicles Charge to 100%?

New energy vehicles often fail to charge up to 100%, and the fundamental reason for this phenomenon lies in the current limitations of battery technology. For safety considerations, the charging current decreases when the battery reaches a certain level of charge. At a specific charging point (e.g., 99%), the current drops to just a few tenths of an ampere. There are two primary charging methods for new energy vehicles: 1. Public Charging Stations: As of August 2019, with the increasing number of brands and quantities of new energy vehicles, a significant number of public charging stations have been installed. When using public charging stations, it's important to distinguish between fast charging and slow charging. Generally, fast charging at public stations is sufficient, allowing the vehicle to be fully charged within 1 to 2 hours without disrupting normal driving. 2. Home Charging Equipment: Charging with home equipment is safer and more cost-effective. However, the charging speed is slower, typically requiring 8 to 10 hours for a full charge.
