Here are the steps to deactivate the Mercedes-Benz anti-theft alarm system: 1. Press the car's brake pedal. 2. Shift the gear to P (Park). 3. Engage the handbrake. 4. Press the one-touch start button. 5. Press the unlock button. Below is some information about the car anti-theft device: 1. To enhance the anti-theft function, some cars are equipped with a steering lock. The steering lock is used to lock the car's steering shaft. The steering lock is integrated with the ignition lock and installed under the steering wheel, controlled by the key. 2. After the ignition lock cuts off the ignition circuit and stops the engine, turning the ignition key to the leftmost position will extend the lock tongue into the steering shaft groove, mechanically locking the car's steering shaft. 3. Even if someone illegally opens the door and starts the engine, the car cannot be steered because the steering wheel is locked, preventing the car from being driven away, thus serving the anti-theft purpose.

What to Do If Your Car Gets Scratched at a 4S Store

If the vehicle is scratched at a 4S store, the owner can fully request the 4S store to repair it. The methods for handling vehicle scratches are as follows: 1. In real life, if you accidentally scratch your beloved car and the damage is minor and only on the surface layer of the paint, it can be completely repaired by waxing. Use a compound to treat it, wiping in straight lines, and then apply wax. Start with coarse wax, followed by fine wax, moving in the same direction from the inside out. This way, minor scratches can be removed. 2. Another more cost-effective method is to use toothpaste for repair. Gently apply it to the shallow scratches, then use a soft cotton cloth to wipe counterclockwise. After a few repetitions, not only will the scratches be reduced, but it will also prevent air from corroding the damaged paint. 3. For more severe scratches where the color of the underlying primer is visible, the location of the damage needs to be considered. Generally, parts like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won’t rust. However, if these severe scratches appear on other parts of the body, a paint touch-up is necessary. Otherwise, even a small break can cause the steel plate to start rusting, making it difficult to prevent rust even with a touch-up later. First, wash and dry the car, then apply a rust remover to the scratched area. Wait 10-15 minutes and wipe off the rust remover with a tissue to prevent further rusting in the scratched area.

How to Use a Steering Wheel Lock?

Here is how to use a steering wheel lock: 1. First, adjust the steering wheel to your preferred position, then place the baseball lock's clamp onto the horizontal bar of the steering wheel. 2. Hold the lock head with your left hand and the lock handle with your right hand, then rotate clockwise until the double clamps are securely fastened. 3. At this point, the steering wheel is locked by the baseball lock. To unlock, simply insert the key and perform the reverse operation. The built-in steering wheel lock in the car will automatically engage after turning off the engine and removing the key. The following two scenarios may occur: 1. If the steering wheel can still be turned, it means the steering wheel lock has not successfully engaged. In this case, simply turn the steering wheel, then turn off the engine and remove the key again to lock the steering wheel. 2. If the steering wheel cannot be turned, it indicates that the steering wheel lock is successfully engaged.

What Causes the Windshield Wiper to Make Noise?

Reasons why windshield wipers make noise: 1. Foreign objects on the wiper: If there are foreign objects between the wiper blade and the windshield, it not only causes a squeaking noise when wiping the glass but also significantly affects the wiping effect, posing a potential safety hazard. Therefore, after driving through rough road conditions, it's best to check the wiper for any foreign objects and clean them promptly if found. 2. Quality of the wiper: Poor-quality wipers often have rubber components that lack good resistance. Under prolonged exposure to sunlight, they can easily harden (become rough), leading to squeaking noises during operation. In this case, simply sanding the blade smooth with sandpaper can resolve the issue. 3. Wiper angle: An incorrect angle can cause the wiper blade to jump on the windshield, resulting in noise. The owner can adjust the angle themselves. However, avoid applying too much downward pressure on the wiper, as this can accelerate windshield wear.

When did Shanxi implement the China VI emission standard?

Shanxi implemented the China VI emission standard on July 1, 2019. Here are the details: 1. The "China VI standard" is divided into two phases, "China VI a" and "China VI b," which were uniformly implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. 2. Shanxi Province did not specify the exact time for the implementation of the China VI b emission standard, meaning it defaults to following the national unified implementation of the new standard. 3. The deadline for registering China V vehicles in Shanxi was July 1, 2019 (excluding that date). Although the Shanxi provincial notice did not provide detailed rules, according to the regulations of various provinces and cities, there would be at least a one-month transition period. 4. For vehicles purchased before July 1, 2019 (excluding that date, based on the purchase invoice date) or transferred from other provinces to Shanxi (based on the transfer registration date on the vehicle registration certificate) that meet the China V emission standard requirements, the traffic management department of the public security authority could process vehicle registration procedures within one month after the implementation date specified in the notice. Registration would not be processed after the deadline.
