Mercedes-Benz is not part of Volkswagen; they are two independent automotive brands. Here are some details about Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen: 1. Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned German automobile brand established in 1900, headquartered in Stuttgart, and founded by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Known for high-quality and high-performance vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is not only famous for its luxury cars but also one of the most prominent manufacturers of buses and heavy-duty trucks globally. 2. Volkswagen (German: Volkswagen) is an automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, and one of the most powerful multinational corporations in the automotive industry. Its business areas include vehicle development, production, sales, logistics, services, automotive parts, car leasing, financial services, auto insurance, banking, and IT services.

I've always been interested in car brands, and Mercedes-Benz is definitely not a brand under Volkswagen. Mercedes-Benz belongs to the Daimler Group, now known as the Mercedes-Benz Group, specializing in luxury and high-end models like the S-Class sedan. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is part of the Volkswagen Group, focusing on the family car market with models such as the Golf or Passat. Many people might confuse them because both are German brands and share a phonetic resemblance in their Chinese names, but their histories are different: Mercedes-Benz originated from the Daimler company founded in 1926, while Volkswagen emerged as an independent automaker after 1945. When buying a car, I recommend checking the official website or car enthusiast forums to avoid being misled by such misconceptions, as choosing the wrong brand could affect maintenance or resale value.

How High is the Trunk Temperature in Summer?

When a car is exposed to the scorching sun for an extended period in 40-degree Celsius summer heat, the temperature inside the trunk can exceed 70 degrees Celsius. Here is some information about the trunk: 1. Items in the trunk: Typically, the trunk contains the car's spare tire, first aid kit, onboard tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, and the emergency fuel tank cap release cable. In some high-end models, the starter battery is also located in the trunk. Certain SUV and MPV models may also come with an original emergency flashlight. 2. Reasons why the trunk won't open: (1) Linkage rod or lock cylinder issues. If you frequently use a key to open the trunk, the linkage rod might be broken, and you should visit a repair shop. If you always use the trunk release button, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. (2) Unlocked status. If the trunk hasn't been unlocked with the remote key, it can be difficult to open. Before attempting to open it, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. (3) Mechanical part failure. The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other problems preventing it from opening.

Is there a concept of wrong-way walking on sidewalks?

Sidewalks are not subject to wrong-way walking issues. A sidewalk refers to a dedicated pedestrian passage separated by curbs, guardrails, or similar facilities, typically about four meters wide. Sidewalks are very common in urban areas, generally present alongside most streets. Relevant provisions regarding pedestrian walking in the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" are as follows: Article 47: Motor vehicles shall slow down when passing crosswalks and stop to yield to pedestrians crossing. When encountering pedestrians crossing roads without traffic signals, motor vehicles shall give way. Article 61: Pedestrians shall walk on sidewalks; where there are no sidewalks, they shall walk on the roadside. Article 62: Pedestrians crossing intersections or roads shall use crosswalks or pedestrian overpass facilities. At signalized crosswalks, pedestrians shall obey traffic signals. When crossing at unsignalized intersections or road sections without crosswalks or overpass facilities, pedestrians shall cross only after confirming safety. Article 63: Pedestrians shall not climb over or sit on road isolation facilities, nor hitch rides, forcibly stop vehicles, or engage in other acts that endanger road traffic safety. Article 65: When crossing railway crossings, pedestrians shall follow traffic signals or management personnel's instructions. In the absence of signals or personnel, they shall cross quickly only after confirming no approaching trains.

Can a new motorcycle without a license plate be ridden to get it registered?

No. Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles and require a yellow motor vehicle license plate. To register a motorcycle, you need to pay the purchase tax and compulsory traffic insurance, as well as provide the buyer's ID card, vehicle invoice, certificate of conformity, and vehicle information collection form (these documents are usually provided by the dealer when purchasing the vehicle). The purchase tax is 10% of the vehicle price excluding tax, which is indicated in the special invoice under the "price excluding tax" column. This 10% is the amount to be paid for registration, generally equivalent to about 8.3% of the vehicle price. Methods to obtain a temporary license plate: 1. Apply at the vehicle management office: The owner needs to bring their ID card, purchase invoice, copy of compulsory insurance policy, original and photocopy of the vehicle's certificate of conformity, and then go to the vehicle management office to apply for a temporary license plate. Fill out the application form, submit the required materials, and after approval, pay the fee to receive the temporary license plate. 2. Apply at the 4S store: With the implementation of the "simplification, decentralization, and service improvement" policy, temporary license plates can now be directly processed at 4S stores. If the vehicle management office is far from home or closed during holidays, you can go to the 4S store, as most 4S stores remain open during holidays.

What are the symptoms of water entering the steering gear?

Symptoms of water entering the car's steering gear include: abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary; the steering wheel feels very loose or extremely heavy and difficult to turn during cornering; oil leakage from the steering gear is a noticeable symptom—check for any oil leaks or seepage, which is often related to aging seals or oil pipes in the steering gear; difficulty in the steering wheel returning to its original position. Solutions for water entering the steering gear: The solution for water entering the car's steering gear is to drain both the water and the power steering fluid, wait until it dries, then refill with new power steering fluid. If there is no oil leakage from the steering gear, simply replacing the steering fluid will not cause internal rusting. Heavy steering or steering lock-up is not necessarily caused by internal rust. Even if there is a small amount of water inside the steering gear, repeatedly turning the steering wheel to full lock can help expel the water with the fluid, after which the steering fluid can be replaced. Precautions for using the car's steering gear: Regularly inspect the condition of the protective boots on both sides of the steering gear and the boot connecting the upper part of the steering gear to the universal joint. Damaged boots are the primary cause of early wear and damage to the steering gear. Once the boot is damaged, water, dust, and sand can enter the steering gear, disrupting the lubrication film on the gear and rack, leading to internal rust and abnormal wear. If the internal water and sand are not promptly removed, the steering gear can be rendered useless in a short time. Therefore, inspect the condition of the dust boots at least once a month. If any damage is found, replace the boots immediately and conduct a thorough inspection and maintenance of the steering gear before replacement.
