Method to turn off the S display on a Mercedes-Benz: 1. Press the one-touch start button below the steering wheel in the driver's compartment to start the vehicle's engine; 2. Locate the driving mode switch button on the center console; 3. Press the driving mode switch button to switch to Comfort mode. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, and its SUV models include the GLA, GLB, GLC, EQC, GLE, GLS, and G-Class. Taking the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as an example, it is one of the world's most powerful all-terrain off-road vehicles, with body dimensions of 4668mm in length, 1774mm in width, and 1952mm in height.

I also struggled with this issue when driving my friend's Mercedes. The 'S' on the dashboard stands for Sport mode, which gives you aggressive acceleration but higher fuel consumption. Turning it off is simple: look around the gear shift for a button or dial labeled with mode selection, usually marked 'MODE' or similar. Press or turn it to switch to 'C' (Comfort) or 'E' (Economy) mode, and the 'S' icon will disappear. Why turn it off? Using Sport mode for daily city commutes is too fuel-intensive, the car lurches forward with every press of the accelerator, and reversing can be jumpy. I usually switch to Comfort mode for a quieter and more economical ride, only occasionally using 'S' for some excitement on long trips. After switching, check the dashboard display to confirm the change. Button locations may vary slightly between models, so consult the manual for precise instructions—don't worry, it's not complicated.

What types of vehicles can a D license drive?

D license permitted vehicle types: ordinary two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, and two-wheeled or three-wheeled light motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. Below is relevant information about the D license: 1. Application requirements: The application requirements for a D license are relatively simple compared to other licenses. Applicants only need to meet the legal age limit (18 years or older, under 60 years old), be in good health, and fulfill the necessary conditions. 2. Examination subjects: The motorcycle license examination consists of a theoretical test and three practical operation tests: the subject on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; the subject on site driving skills; and the subject on road driving skills and safe, civilized driving knowledge.

What is the basis for the ranking of license plate numbers in Hebei?

Hebei license plate numbers are ranked based on the division of provincial vehicle management offices and the status of prefecture-level administrative regions. The license plate codes for various regions in Hebei Province are as follows: Ji A is Shijiazhuang City, Ji B is Tangshan City, Ji C is Qinhuangdao City, Ji D is Handan City, Ji E is Xingtai City, Ji F is Baoding City, Ji G is Zhangjiakou City, Ji H is Chengde City, Ji J is Cangzhou City, Ji R is Langfang City, Ji T is Hengshui City. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character representing the provincial-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region. The second character is an English letter representing the prefecture-level administrative region where the vehicle is registered, which is the letter code for the prefecture-level city, region, autonomous prefecture, or league.

What are the grades of gasoline engine oil?

Gasoline engine oils are designated with an "S" prefix, and the grades include SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN. From A to L, the performance progressively increases with each subsequent letter, indicating that the oil contains more additives to protect the engine. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade. International brands typically offer oil grades above SF. The most commonly used oils on the market are SN, SM, and SL. Oil viscosity grades: Common viscosity grades like 5W-30 and 15W-40 are oil viscosity ratings. The "W" stands for winter, and the number before it indicates the temperature tolerance. 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, and 20W represent -35°C, -30°C, -15°C, -10°C, and -5°C, respectively. The smaller the number before the "W," the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, meaning it can be used in lower environmental temperatures and provides better engine protection during cold starts. The number after the "W" represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity. For example, 40 means the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is between 12.5mm²/s and 16.3mm²/s, and it does not mean the oil can be used below 40°C.

What does 'several liters of fuel consumption' mean?

Fuel consumption of 'several liters' refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a hundred kilometers at a certain speed on the road, where '1 liter' means 1 liter of fuel. Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data on fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain accurately. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the tank is filled again, and the fuel amount provided by the gas station is taken as the final data. Fuel-saving tips: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Starting by gently pressing the accelerator can shorten the engine's warm-up time and effectively improve fuel utilization, thereby achieving fuel-saving effects.

What is the difference between SP and SN engine oil?

The differences between SN and SP engine oil are as follows: 1. Different viscosity levels: The difference between SN and SP engine oil lies in their thickness or viscosity (phosphorus content) at a certain temperature. SN engine oil has a relatively lower phosphorus content. 2. Different viscosity numbers: Comparing the viscosity of SN and SP oils, SP has a higher viscosity number, indicating that SP has a stronger oil film than SN, providing better protective performance. Additionally, SP offers stable improvements over SN in terms of noise reduction, fuel consumption, and acceleration performance. SP represents the quality grade of engine oil. Grades such as SG, SJ, SL, SM, and the subsequent SP are all classifications for gasoline engine oils, with SP currently being the highest grade. The higher the grade of the engine oil, the better its various technical indicators.
