Using mobile app functions via AppLink: Press the voice button. Say "mobile applications." Say the name of the mobile app, then state the command you wish to perform, such as "favorite." To view the app menu: Open the mobile app you want to use. Press the right arrow button to enter the app menu. Within the mobile app menu, you can scroll through the app's functions. Press the left arrow button to exit the app menu. Below is a detailed introduction to Applink: 1. APPLink enables interaction between the SYNC system and mobile applications. In many internet-connected vehicle models, owners can use their phones to control specific functions of the vehicle. Through APPLink, you can also control and use mobile apps on the central display screen without needing to install third-party software in the vehicle. 2. AppLink offers many advantages. For example, under the format of mobile applications, AppLink allows the SYNC system to exchange information through the transport layer, enabling functions such as data transmission, commands, and application control.

I previously chose a car model with Applink functionality when switching vehicles, and it's really convenient to use. The method is quite simple: before driving, ensure your phone is compatible, such as an iPhone or Android device. Turn on the phone's Bluetooth function, then activate the in-car SYNC system, usually by finding the Applink option in the main menu. Next, pair the phone, and the system will recognize supported apps like Baidu Maps or NetEase Cloud Music—just select them directly on the screen. I use it for navigation and playing music, keeping my hands on the wheel for safety and ease. Just make sure the Bluetooth signal is strong and the phone isn’t too far away; if it disconnects occasionally, simply reconnect. I use it for daily commutes and long trips—after the initial setup, it connects automatically every time I drive, reducing distractions and enhancing the driving experience. Also, I recommend regularly updating the car’s system firmware, as some new features work even better.

Where is the cigarette lighter located in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

The cigarette lighter in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is located at the rear air vent. Here are some precautions for using the cigarette lighter: Avoid using high-power electrical appliances on the cigarette lighter: The cigarette lighter generally has a maximum load capacity of 120W. Exceeding this value can easily cause the cigarette lighter to overload, leading to various hazards such as burning out the lighter. Start the vehicle when using the cigarette lighter for extended periods: If you need to use the cigarette lighter for a long time or if the device has high power consumption, start the car engine to enhance the power supply. This prevents draining the car battery. Properly insert and remove the cigarette lighter plug: The cigarette lighter has a separate fuse. The correct method is to insert and remove it vertically. Avoid pulling it out while shaking it, as frequent shaking can loosen the fuse and cause a short circuit, which may burn out the fuse and external devices. Promptly remove external devices after parking: After turning off the vehicle, quickly unplug any external devices connected to the cigarette lighter. Otherwise, when the vehicle starts, the high current surge may burn out the devices, especially MP3 players and USB drives, which are prone to issues.

Why is Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Not Suitable for Snowy Conditions?

Here are the specific reasons why four-wheel drive is not suitable for snowy conditions: Longer braking distance: The biggest advantage of four-wheel drive vehicles is that all four wheels have power, making it much easier to start and accelerate on snowy or icy roads compared to two-wheel drive vehicles. However, while four-wheel drive provides smoother starts, it also results in longer braking distances than two-wheel drive vehicles, which is a significant hazard for four-wheel drive vehicles on snowy or icy roads. Overlooking braking and turning issues: The danger of snowy or icy roads lies in the insufficient friction between the tires and the road surface, which is unrelated to whether the vehicle is four-wheel or two-wheel drive. To increase friction, winter tires can be chosen. Four-wheel drive vehicles are more hazardous on snowy or icy roads not because of poor performance, but because drivers tend to overlook braking and turning issues, making accidents more likely to occur during turns and braking.

How Long Can a Remanufactured Transmission Last?

There's no absolute guarantee, but generally speaking, if no issues arise after installation, it can last for one or two years without problems. The function of a transmission: Primarily to change the transmission ratio, expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; whereas automatic transmissions achieve speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Principle of manual transmission: By shifting the gear lever, the driving gear on the intermediate shaft is switched, combining with gears of different sizes on the power output shaft to alter the torque and speed of the driving wheels. The engine's power input shaft is connected to the power output shaft indirectly via an intermediate shaft.

What Causes a Diesel Engine to Lack Power and Emit Black Smoke During Acceleration?

The fuel tank capacity of the Outback is 63 liters, as officially announced. The Outback requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 851km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

Can I Keep the Same License Plate When Changing Motorcycles?

It is possible to retain the original license plate when changing motorcycles. After completing the motor vehicle transfer registration or cancellation registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the previous license plate number when registering a newly purchased motor vehicle. Consequences of Using Fake License Plates: If the license plate is identified as counterfeit, the driver will face penalties for using another vehicle's license plate and driving without the appropriate license. These penalties include fines, a deduction of 24 points, and a maximum administrative detention of up to 20 days. Consequences of Driving Without a License Plate: Driving a motorcycle without a license plate can result in fines and detention for up to 15 days. Unlicensed motorcycle driving not only disrupts traffic order but also affects other road users if the driver speeds, runs red lights, or fails to follow lane regulations, thereby interfering with normal traffic management.

Is Mandatory Deregistration the Same as Cancellation for Motorcycles?

Mandatory deregistration and cancellation are not the same for motorcycles. Mandatory cancellation refers to compulsory scrapping, where the vehicle has reached the scrapping standard but is not yet deregistered. Cancellation is when the owner initiates the deregistration process. Note that after a vehicle is mandatorily scrapped, the owner must complete the deregistration procedure; otherwise, it may affect the processing of vehicle and driver's license services under the owner's name. Materials required for cancellation: Motorcycle registration certificate, driver's license and copies, motorcycle title, license plates, ID card and copies, as well as a supporting document based on the reason for cancellation. Method for cancellation: The specific method depends on the vehicle's condition. For normal scrapping, the motorcycle must be sent to an authorized scrapping facility to obtain a scrapping certificate, followed by deregistration at the vehicle management office.
