After fully turning the steering wheel when backing into the space, if you see the distance between the car body and the corner of the space is less than 30 cm (less than two fingers' width on the mirror), it indicates that the steering was initiated too early. After fully turning the steering wheel to the right, observe the right rearview mirror. If the black tire marks are not visible, it means the steering was initiated too early, and you should promptly correct the wheel alignment.

What causes multi-cylinder misfire in Mercedes-Benz?

Multi-cylinder misfire in Mercedes-Benz may occur due to poor spark plug contact, causing momentary ignition failure. Other possible causes: Excessive self-induced voltage in fuel injectors leading to sticking in the next working cycle. Poor heat dissipation of transistors in the ECU causing ignition coil malfunction. Insufficient cylinder pressure resulting in ignition failure. Maintenance approach: Check for aged wiring with exposed or leaking insulation. Reconnect and repair after confirmation. Replace damaged internal components of ignition coils or spark plugs after diagnosis. Manually reinforce all loose connectors. Inspect fuel lines for blockages causing poor fuel delivery. Check cylinder pressure and verify ignition timing accuracy in the timing system. Eliminate the possibility of using inferior engine oil that may compromise cooling and lubrication functions.

Is Waxing Once a Month Harmful to the Car?

Waxing every month can damage the original wax on the surface of a new car. The advantages and disadvantages of car waxing are as follows: Advantages of waxing: Heat protection. Car wax itself can reflect incoming light from different directions, preventing the light from penetrating the clear coat. This prevents the base paint from aging and discoloring, thereby extending the lifespan of the paint and preventing fading. UV protection. Similar to heat protection, ultraviolet rays from sunlight can damage the car's paint. Car wax can minimize the harm caused by UV rays to the paint. Disadvantages of waxing: Prone to oxidation. Car wax uses petroleum as a solvent, making it highly susceptible to oxidation. It typically begins to oxidize in about half a month and fully oxidizes after a month, meaning it cannot provide long-term protection for the paint. Paint wear. If the waxing is performed by an unskilled technician, it can easily result in fine circular scratches on the car body.
