The production year is usually clearly marked on the glass, represented by numbers. Detailed information is as follows: 1. For example, if the glass was produced in 2014, the number '14' will be displayed on the glass. There will be a series of small black dots either before or after this number, which indicate the production month of the glass. 2. If the small black dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7 to get the production month. If the dots are after the number, subtract the number of dots from 13 to determine the production month. 3. The production date of the glass should be earlier than the production date of the car. Knowing how to read the glass production date can help determine if the glass has been replaced. 4. If the glass production date is later than the car's production date, it indicates that the glass has been replaced. The car's production date is usually found on the vehicle's nameplate located on the B-pillar.

Are low beam and headlights the same type of light?

Low beam and headlights are not the same type of light. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about automotive lighting: 1. Function: Automotive lights are various traffic lights installed on vehicles to ensure safe driving. They are divided into two categories: illumination lights and signal lights. 2. Classification: Headlights, fog lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, dome lights, instrument panel lights, and trunk lights. 3. Precautions: Checking automotive lights is one of the simpler steps among all new car inspection precautions. However, because the installation of lights is more prone to issues during the overall vehicle assembly process, it is important to take this inspection step seriously as well.

Is Fuchs PT7 Engine Oil Fully Synthetic?

Fuchs PT7 engine oil is not fully synthetic. Below is relevant information about synthetic oil: 1. Introduction to synthetic oil: Synthetic oil is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or gas in crude oil, which then undergoes complex chemical reactions (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology, i.e., GTL technology) to refine into large-molecule base oil. 2. Advantages of synthetic oil: Synthetic oil has a higher viscosity index, so it has better viscosity-temperature characteristics, providing more sufficient lubrication at high temperatures and better fluidity at low temperatures (appearing thinner than mineral oil of the same grade at room temperature). Engine oil blended with synthetic oil has stronger oxidation resistance, significantly extending the oil change interval. Although the investment in oil increases, the number of oil and filter changes is reduced.

Is 8 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?

8 liters per 100 kilometers is a normal level of fuel consumption, not high. Here is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Information about fuel consumption levels: Fuel consumption is affected by the vehicle type. If it's a micro or compact car, then 8 liters would be considered a relatively high level of fuel consumption. For a family sedan, this is normal. For a mid-size car, 8 liters is actually relatively low. Generally speaking, the larger the engine displacement, the higher the corresponding fuel consumption. 2. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There are many factors that affect fuel consumption, not just the powertrain of the engine, but also the transmission, drag coefficient, body weight, and tires. Also very important are driving habits, vehicle condition, and road conditions.

What are the driving modes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers five driving modes: ECO, Standard, Sport, Comfort, and Custom. Press the 'DYNAMIC' button located on the center console to switch between driving modes. Below are the detailed descriptions: 1. ECO Mode: In this mode, the vehicle's computer limits fuel injection and controls the gearshift logic of the transmission. 2. Standard Mode: This mode provides a balanced performance in all aspects, meeting most driving needs. Drivers can use the Standard Mode for extended periods if no specific requirements exist. In this mode, the suspension is appropriately tuned, and the engine delivers smooth and comfortable power output. 3. Sport Mode: In this mode, the vehicle's gearshift logic becomes more aggressive. Delayed upshifts allow the vehicle to achieve high torque output right from the start. The engine maintains high RPMs, keeping the vehicle in a highly dynamic state. The most noticeable effect is the enhanced acceleration, allowing drivers to feel the vehicle's explosive power. 4. Comfort Mode: The suspension becomes softer, the steering wheel is easier to maneuver, and the body is lowered. For instance, when crossing speed bumps or encountering sudden braking situations, the comfort level of the vehicle is significantly improved. Passengers experience reduced jerks and a smoother ride. 5. Custom Mode: Drivers can set different parameters according to their personal preferences and driving habits.

Why Should You Steer in the Opposite Direction When the Front Wheels Skid?

The result of skidding is that the direction of the vehicle's acceleration does not align with the axis of the car, making it difficult for the car's power to effectively control the vehicle. Correction involves changing the direction of the power to realign the acceleration direction with the vehicle's axis, thereby regaining control over the vehicle's movement. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Vehicle Skidding: When a moving vehicle experiences braking, rotational inertia, or other factors that cause the wheels of one axle or both axles to move laterally (i.e., swing sideways), this phenomenon is called skidding. 2. Causes of Skidding: Slippery roads due to wet conditions, oil spills, or ice reduce the coefficient of friction and create asymmetry between the left and right sides. The wheel load and road adhesion also decrease, making the wheels prone to skidding with even slight lateral forces. During braking, if the four wheels experience unbalanced resistance—such as unequal braking force on the left and right wheels, varying coefficients of friction, or a load center of gravity biased to one side—it can lead to 'pulling' and easily cause wheel skidding.
