Mercedes-Benz's auto start-stop system generally comes with a switch. If the owner does not wish to use it, they can simply press this switch to directly turn off the auto start-stop system. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Working Principle: The start-stop system works by detecting when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at intersections. The driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates there is sufficient energy for the next start. 2. Operation: Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, and the "start-stop device" can be activated immediately to quickly start the engine. In automatic transmission models, as soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine automatically restarts, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and move off, all while remaining in D gear.

How to Drive Safely on Muddy Roads?

On muddy roads, it's advisable to drive at medium to low speeds, as this allows the engine to deliver greater torque. Additionally, avoid shifting gears while driving on muddy surfaces. When pressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle may stop due to excessive resistance, and restarting on a muddy road can be challenging. If you notice one of the tires slipping on the muddy road, gently apply the handbrake and increase the throttle. This action stops the slipping tire from spinning while increasing the driving force on the other wheel, potentially helping the vehicle to move out of the mud. However, when stuck in mud, many drivers instinctively press the accelerator to gain speed, but this often makes it harder to pass through. This is because engine torque follows a curve—it increases with RPM up to a certain point, then decreases as speed continues to rise. On slippery uphill roads, sudden acceleration or braking can cause wheel slippage. When descending, never coast in neutral; instead, maintain an appropriate gear based on your speed. If braking is necessary, apply light and continuous pressure on the pedal to avoid overheating the brake pads and discs, which can reduce braking efficiency. When driving on unpaved roads (other than asphalt or concrete), tire slippage is often caused by excessive or abrupt acceleration, heavy braking, or high speeds on curved sections.

What Causes Uneven Tire Wear?

The phenomenon of uneven tire wear is characterized by severe wear on both sides, no side wear, or wave-like wear. Different phenomena require different solutions. If both edges of a tire show regular and roughly equal severe wear (excluding leaf spring issues), it is usually caused by insufficient tire pressure. Solution: Check and replenish tire pressure. If the tire wears evenly but excessively, without side wear or wave-like wear, common causes include: poor road conditions, unsuitable tread patterns for specific surfaces; improper user maintenance, mixed tire installation, or lack of timely rotation (timely rotation can extend mileage by 20%); severe overloading, causing excessive tire stress; higher environmental temperatures leading to shorter tire lifespan. Solution: Replace with qualified tires. Regular wheel alignment: Wheel alignment enhances driving safety, extends tire lifespan, reduces fuel consumption, minimizes tire wear (avoiding uneven wear), and decreases suspension component wear. Therefore, it is essential to have wheel alignment done periodically at a 4S shop or professional repair facility. It is recommended to perform this at least once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. Adjust tire pressure: Note that both overinflation and underinflation can cause uneven tire wear. Underinflation causes the tire to bend inward, leading to severe edge wear, while overinflation accelerates wear on the center of the tread. Thus, regularly monitor tire pressure to ensure it remains at the normal level. Generally, inflate or deflate according to the vehicle's specified tire pressure.

What to Do When the Brakes Become Hard with Air Conditioning On in a Car?

If the brakes become hard when the air conditioning is on in a car, it should be sent to a 4S shop for repair as soon as possible. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, belts, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. The braking device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the speed, also known as a decelerator. Reasons why the brakes become hard after turning on the air conditioning: After turning on the air conditioning, the engine load increases, the throttle vacuum decreases, and the brake vacuum assistance reduces, making the brake pedal hard to press. If there is a problem with the brake vacuum system, turning on the air conditioning consumes a large amount of vacuum, so the brake vacuum assistance does not work, making the pedal feel hard. This issue should be resolved as soon as possible, as it can be dangerous in emergencies. The car should be sent to a 4S shop for maintenance and repair promptly. The function of the brakes is to decelerate, either by reducing speed or bringing the vehicle to a stop. The principle of braking is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into heat energy, which is then dissipated. The kinetic energy comes from the power provided by the engine, which requires fuel combustion to generate work.
