Mercedes-Benz is started by pressing the start button on the right side of the steering wheel while holding down the brake pedal. Mercedes-Benz uses a "column shifter," and the operating steps are as follows: 1. When shifting gears, hold down the brake pedal and then move the gear lever; 2. After starting, it is in the neutral position, moving it up is reverse gear, and moving it down is drive gear; 3. When parking, shift into neutral while holding the brake, then press the outer button to engage P (Park) gear. Mercedes-Benz is a premium German automobile brand. The dimensions of the 2020 S-Class Business Edition Collector's Model are 5259mm in length, 1899mm in width, and 1497mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3165mm, and a top speed of 250km/h.

The first time I drove a Mercedes, I found the starting process very smooth. As long as the key is inside the car, just sit in the driver's seat, press the brake pedal, and tap the round start button a few times—usually located at the lower right of the steering wheel—and the engine will hum to life. For older models, you might need to insert and turn the key, but most newer ones feature keyless ignition, which is super convenient. Make sure the car is in 'P' (Park) mode, or it might not start. My usual habit is to lightly press the brake while pressing the button; when the dashboard lights up, it means it's successful. If nothing happens, consider whether the key battery is dead or the car battery is drained—a spare key or a power bank can sometimes help in emergencies. Hybrids start up extremely quietly, almost as if the engine isn't running, but the in-car screen will display the status. Before driving, always do a quick check to ensure safety, especially at night, to avoid any mishaps.

What Does the Faucet-like Warning Light Represent?

Dashboard displaying a faucet symbol indicates the illumination of the engine exhaust emission fault light. Below is an introduction related to the dashboard: 1. Overview: The dashboard is a rigid panel or structural component used for installing instruments and related devices. It can be categorized by type into screen-type dashboards, frame-type dashboards, passage-type dashboards, and cabinet-type dashboards. Dashboards may feature external lighting and can be attached to a control console, available in various forms and specifications to accommodate the installation of different instruments as needed, or to combine various dashboards into an integrated unit. 2. Types of Indicator Lights on the Dashboard: Door status indicator, parking indicator, various dashboard indicators, battery indicator, fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, turn signal indicators, high beam indicator, seat belt indicator, O/D gear indicator, recirculation indicator, width indicator, VSC indicator, TCS indicator, etc.

What engine does the Touran use?

The Touran's engine is a Sino-German joint venture, produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, and is a domestically manufactured engine. The Touran's engine model is EA111, with a maximum power of 110kW, maximum horsepower of 150, and maximum torque of 250Nm. For daily maintenance of the Touran engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Do Accident Vehicles Require Annual Inspection Every Year?

Accident vehicles do not necessarily require annual inspection every year. The specific conditions are as follows: 1. Non-operational small passenger vehicles: Inspection every two years for the first 6 years, then annually from the 7th to the 15th year. 2. Non-operational medium and large vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 10 years, then semi-annually from the 11th year onwards. 3. Operational vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 5 years, then semi-annually from the 6th year onwards. 4. Vehicles eligible for exemption: Applicable models include non-operational cars (including large cars), non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles. Trucks, vans, and company-registered vehicles are not covered under the new regulations. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2010, that meet the criteria are eligible for the exemption policy. However, exemption only means exemption from on-site inspection; vehicles still require regular inspection every two years.

Why Is There a Mechanical Sound When Shifting Gears in a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission shifting with a metal clanking sound is most likely caused by improper operation. If the clutch is not fully disengaged during the shifting process, or if there is an error in gear selection, the synchronizer will be subjected to significant impact, inevitably producing noise. Below is an introduction to manual transmissions: 1. Concept: It refers to manually moving the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio. 2. Working Principle: By using the shift fork, the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears is changed, thereby modifying the driving torque to suit different operating conditions. The correct method of pressing the clutch and releasing the throttle is to perform both actions simultaneously (or nearly simultaneously). Even if there is a sequence, the clutch should be pressed first, followed by releasing the throttle. Note that the throttle release should not be too delayed.

What Does a Sedan Mean?

A sedan refers to a car body structure composed of three enclosed compartments with distinct purposes: the front engine compartment, the middle passenger compartment, and the rear luggage compartment. The specific functions of these compartments are as follows: 1. Engine Compartment: The engine compartment of modern cars also plays a crucial role in passive safety. In the event of a frontal collision, the engine compartment is designed to crumple and absorb the massive energy generated by the impact, thereby reducing the violent impact on both the vehicle occupants and external individuals, thus protecting the passengers inside. 2. Passenger Compartment: The middle passenger compartment is designed to be sturdy and highly rigid. In cases of collision or rollover, the compartment deforms minimally, preventing doors from opening on their own and ejecting passengers. This reduces the risk of injuries caused by compartment deformation and compression, and facilitates the smooth opening of doors for escape after an accident. 3. Luggage Compartment: The rear luggage compartment is not only responsible for storing luggage but also serves the function of minimizing injuries caused by rear-end collisions.
