To disable the default auto start-stop function in Mercedes-Benz, press and hold the auto start-stop switch until the OFF indicator lights up. The working principle of auto start-stop is: when braking to stop and shifting to neutral, the system automatically detects that the engine is idling without being in gear, the speed sensor shows zero, the battery sensor indicates sufficient energy, and the engine automatically stops running. Upon depressing the clutch, releasing the brake, or turning the steering wheel, the system will quickly restart the engine. Taking the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5290 mm, width 1921 mm, height 1503 mm, wheelbase 3216 mm, and fuel tank capacity 76 liters.

What type of engine oil is recommended for the Tiguan Silk Road Edition 1.8T standard model?

The manual recommends engine oil with a specification of SL5W40, while the Tiguan Silk Road Edition 1.8T is suitable for 5W30 or 5W40 fully synthetic engine oil. Below are the relevant details: 1. Fully synthetic engine oil: Fully synthetic oil offers superior quality, providing noticeable improvements in the following aspects: smoother cold starts, especially in northeastern regions; better fuel efficiency; and extended oil change intervals, equivalent to 1.5 times or more compared to conventional lubricants. 2. Engine oil selection: Naturally aspirated engines have lower requirements for oil performance and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oil. If the budget allows, fully synthetic oil can also be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have more precise construction and operate in more complex conditions, requiring higher-quality oil with better fluidity. Fully synthetic oil is recommended, such as for the Tiguan 1.8T.

Is it difficult for beginners to drive a B-segment car directly?

In fact, most novice drivers come into contact with cars like the Jetta or Haima, which are A-segment sedans, when obtaining their driver's license. If beginners directly drive a B-segment car, which is larger in size, they may initially find it more challenging. After all, beginners have a weaker sense of vehicle orientation and less practical driving experience. Differences between A and B-segment cars: Positioning: A-segment cars refer to compact cars with a wheelbase between 2.0 meters and 2.45 meters, and an engine displacement generally ranging from 1.3 liters to 1.6 liters. B-segment cars, on the other hand, refer to mid-size cars with a wheelbase between 2.7 meters and 2.8 meters, and an engine displacement generally ranging from 1.8 liters to 2.4 liters. Handling: Theoretically, A-segment cars are more agile to drive because vehicles with longer wheelbases have a larger turning radius, which reduces steering flexibility and consequently worsens maneuverability. Therefore, in terms of handling performance, A-segment cars outperform B-segment cars. Comfort: The comfort of a car is generally influenced by factors such as interior space, seat design, power transmission, suspension structure and tuning, and sound insulation. Therefore, in terms of comfort, B-segment cars generally surpass A-segment cars.
