The steps to replace the battery in a Mercedes-Benz ML350-4MATIC key are: 1. Locate the button on the back of the key; 2. Press and hold the button while sliding the back cover forward to open it; 3. The battery is inside the slot, remove and replace it. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz ML350-4MATIC as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5001 mm, width 1896 mm, height 1430 mm, with a wheelbase of 2939 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz ML350-4MATIC is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 220 KW and a maximum torque of 400 NM, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

I've been driving a Mercedes ML350 for over five years and have changed the key battery several times. It's really simple. There's usually a small gap on the back of the key. Just use a coin or a small screwdriver to gently pry it open, and the shell will come off. Inside, you'll find a round button battery, model CR2032, which you can buy at supermarkets or pharmacies. Make sure not to mix up the positive and negative directions—usually, the side with the text faces up. After replacing it, press the shell back together and test the remote locking function. If it doesn't work, check the battery installation. I think changing it every two years is a good idea to avoid any malfunctions at critical moments. The batteries are cheap and easy to get, so doing it yourself saves you the hassle of going to a shop. Plus, it's a good opportunity to clean out any dust inside to keep the key responsive.

What are the best tires for the GS4?

GAC Trumpchi GS4 uses Michelin PRImACY tires, with the models being 225/60R17 and 225/55R18. Michelin was founded in 1889 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Over more than 100 years, Michelin has undergone continuous innovation and development. It now operates businesses across five continents and has R&D centers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Michelin tires are marketed in over 170 countries worldwide. For the GAC Trumpchi GS4 tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves of the tires gradually become shallow. If the tread wears flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can be a hidden danger for tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles stuck in the grooves. Try to park on level ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this action accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure increases. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool down naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tires and the ground.

Has the Biannual Inspection for 15-Year-Old Vehicles Been Canceled?

15-year-old vehicles have not had their biannual inspection canceled. Vehicle inspection process: Drive the vehicle to the nearest inspection station; undergo a vehicle appearance check, cooperate with staff to fill out the motor vehicle appearance registration form and take photos; proceed with payment and information registration; conduct online motor vehicle inspection, including exhaust emission test—speedometer test—brake test—lighting test—side slip test—chassis inspection; collect the inspection compliance mark and affix it to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Notes on inspection timing: If the vehicle inspection is nearing expiration, it is advisable to plan ahead. The vehicle management office generally follows national holidays and unified holidays. (Typically operates normally from Monday to Friday and may work overtime at certain times on Saturdays).

How Long Can a Smoking Clutch Last?

It is best not to use a smoking clutch. Reasons for clutch smoking: Improper operation by the driver, such as riding the clutch in a semi-engaged state, causes continuous friction between the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating high temperatures that can burn the clutch disc. Sudden release of the clutch pedal during operation leads to abrupt engagement of the clutch disc and pressure plate, which can easily cause the clutch disc to break down or damage the pressure plate surface. Prolonged use or excessive mileage results in natural aging and wear of the clutch disc. Poor-quality clutch disc material leads to premature damage. Function of the clutch: The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, installed between the engine and the gearbox. Its role is to connect or disconnect the engine from the gearbox. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the clutch disengages; releasing the pedal engages the clutch.

Why doesn't a tire pressure of 1.9 trigger an alarm?

A tire pressure of 1.9 not triggering an alarm is because the minimum tire pressure alarm threshold varies for each vehicle model. This is mainly related to the settings of each vehicle's onboard computer. Generally, the low-pressure alarm threshold for most vehicles is set at 1.9. Hazards of excessively low or high tire pressure: Both underinflation and overinflation can shorten tire lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. It also causes excessive flexing, leading to overheating, accelerated rubber aging, and even blowouts. It enlarges the tire's contact area with the road, accelerating shoulder wear. Overinflation causes excessive tire expansion and reduced elasticity, increasing the risk of blowouts upon significant impact. It also leads to rapid tread wear. Functions of tire pressure monitoring alarms: Prevent blowouts by monitoring tire pressure and temperature in real time, addressing issues before they occur. Save fuel by maintaining correct tire pressure, reducing vehicle fuel consumption. Reduce wear – insufficient pressure causes excessive wear (tire scrubbing) and shortens tire lifespan.

Is Tire Pressure Higher in Winter or Summer?

Winter tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer due to thermal expansion and contraction. Since the weather is colder in winter, the tire pressure can be adjusted upward by 0.1 based on the normal value. Below are the methods for checking tire pressure and the hazards of both overinflation and underinflation: Methods for Checking Tire Pressure: The most standard tire pressure value can be found on the tire pressure label located on the driver's side front door frame, which indicates the original tires and their corresponding tire pressures. The tire pressure data refers to the cold tire pressure, which applies to both summer and winter tires. Hazards of Overinflation or Underinflation: Both underinflation and overinflation can shorten the lifespan of tires. Underinflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks. It also causes excessive flexing, leading to overheating, accelerated rubber aging, and even blowouts. It increases the tire's contact area, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders. Overinflation, on the other hand, causes excessive tire expansion, reducing elasticity. If subjected to significant impact, the tire may burst. Additionally, overinflation accelerates wear on the tire tread.

Has the Biannual Inspection Policy for Vehicles Over 15 Years Old Been Canceled?

The policy requiring biannual inspections for vehicles that have reached 15 years of age has not been canceled and remains in effect under the original vehicle inspection regulations. Inspection Schedule: The annual vehicle inspection schedule is determined by the initial registration date of the vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the vehicle's license is June 2015, then the annual inspection should be conducted every June. Additionally, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners can apply for an inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office up to three months before the expiration of the current inspection period. This means that vehicles due for inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June. Vehicle Inspection Items: Inspection includes an exterior check, emissions testing, window tint transparency check, violation check, and a comprehensive safety inspection covering the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, and more.
