I've driven Mercedes-Benz cars for several years and fully understand the function of the speed limiter. It's a safety assistance feature designed to prevent speeding accidents. Deactivating it is usually straightforward: press and hold the LIM button on the left side of the steering wheel to access the vehicle menu, locate the Speed Assist option, and select 'Off' to complete the process. However, I strongly advise against casually disabling it. Highway speed limits are in place to protect everyone, and recklessly turning it off can easily lead to speeding and accidents. This is especially dangerous on rainy days when roads are slippery. If you must deactivate it for track testing, ensure the venue is safe first. Normally, keeping it activated is beneficial—the dashboard alerts you when exceeding speed limits, helping avoid tickets. Cultivating good driving habits is paramount; maintaining a steady speed is both more fuel-efficient and safer.

Is the first maintenance an oil change?

First maintenance requires an oil change, and the first maintenance oil filter and oil are free maintenance items. Changing the oil allows the engine to work better, along with routine vehicle inspections, such as: tire and brake pad wear, fluid levels in the engine compartment, whether there is any impact on the chassis, and whether the chassis brackets and tie rods are deformed, etc. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Oil function: When a new car is first driven, because the engine is in the break-in period, some impurities will be generated inside the engine. Therefore, during the first maintenance, the oil and oil filter need to be replaced so that the oil can better lubricate the various components inside the engine. 2. Maintenance practices and reasons: During the new car maintenance period, the wheel hub bolts need to be torque-tightened because new car tires generally leave a break-in gap. After the break-in period, they need to be tightened. Debris such as stones in the tire gaps should also be cleaned, otherwise it will affect the tire's drainage and friction.

What lights to use when driving behind another vehicle at night?

When driving behind another vehicle at night, use low beam headlights. If you need to alert the vehicle in front, you can flash the high beams. Below are specific instructions for using low beams: Meeting oncoming traffic: When meeting or when there is oncoming traffic, turn off the high beams. High beams can blind the drivers of oncoming vehicles, making it difficult for them to see the road ahead and increasing the risk of an accident. If the oncoming vehicle does not turn off its high beams, you can alternately switch between high and low beams to signal them to turn off the high beams. When passing through a dimly lit intersection, alternately switch between high and low beams and honk the horn. Overtaking: When preparing to overtake, first alternately switch between high and low beams and honk the horn to alert the vehicle ahead of your intention to overtake. Then, turn on the left turn signal, check the rearview mirror for any approaching vehicles, and if the coast is clear, change lanes to the left and accelerate to overtake.
