Mercedes-Benz G-Class is equipped with a column shifter. Below is relevant information about column shifters: 1. Definition: A column shifter gets its name because the gear lever is pulled towards the driver's chest when shifting. There are two types of gear lever arrangements in cars: floor-mounted shifters and column shifters. A column shifter refers to the gear lever located at the lower right side of the steering wheel. The gear arrangement pattern is the same as that of a conventional automatic transmission. Most common column shifters are found in automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Common Models: In China, commonly seen American cars with column shifters include the Buick GL8 and older Regal models. German Mercedes-Benz also frequently uses column shifters, such as in the C, E, R, S, ML, and GL series. The three currently available models under the British Rolls-Royce brand (Phantom, Ghost, Wraith) also use column shifters.

Where to Obtain a Vehicle Transfer Certificate?

To obtain a vehicle transfer certificate, you need to bring the relevant materials to the local vehicle management office. Below are the precautions for second-hand vehicle transfers: 1. Ensure the legitimacy of the property certificate: Pay special attention to the embossed number, engine number, and registration date on the property certificate. Besides verifying these details, also check for any signs of alteration, as altered marks may indicate a transaction trap. 2. Check for any traffic violation records: Before transferring a second-hand vehicle, check if the vehicle has any traffic violation records and whether it is within the validity period of the compulsory traffic insurance. Only vehicles with no violation records and valid compulsory insurance can proceed with the transfer. Generally, vehicles with violations cannot be transferred until the violations are resolved. 3. Verify the presence of vehicle purchase tax payment receipts: Always inspect the original tax receipt of the vehicle during a second-hand vehicle transfer. Some vehicles may not have paid the purchase tax initially, and after the transfer, these vehicles may be required to pay the outstanding tax, which can be a significant expense. Therefore, it is crucial to determine who will bear this cost.

Does Water Inside the Cabin Count as a Flood-Damaged Vehicle?

Water inside the cabin does count as a flood-damaged vehicle, though the extent of flooding may vary. After water enters the driver's compartment, any submerged equipment should be promptly replaced to avoid long-term issues. Here are methods to identify flood-damaged and accident vehicles: 1. Inspect the door locks: Check for signs of forced entry, tampering, or adhesive residue. Use the key to test each door lock, ensuring they belong to the same set and operate smoothly. Difficulty in turning the key or near-breaking resistance may indicate rust in the central locking motor due to water damage. 2. Engine compartment: Examine the mounting brackets for interior lighting and signal lights for breaks or looseness. Inspect wire connectors and sockets—excessive mud deposits or rust spots suggest potential flood damage. 3. Engine compartment evaluation: Check wiring and vacuum lines above the engine block, looking for mud traces around ignition coils and spark plug gaps. Assess whether tubing/cracking matches the vehicle's age, verify fuel injector mounting integrity, and inspect springs for rust—all indicators of possible water exposure.

What are the reasons for the frequent low battery level in the third-generation Haval H6?

It may be due to battery quality issues. The electricity consumed when starting the car requires the car's alternator to run steadily for at least 25 minutes to recharge the battery. Here are some related explanations: 1. Vehicle circuit leakage: Battery failure leads to weakened power storage capacity. The driving distance is too short (too many engine starts). There are electrical appliances that are not turned off after the vehicle is parked. It is recommended to contact the local 4S store for inspection and repair. 2. Working principle: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Usually, the battery people refer to is a lead-acid battery. That is, a battery mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

What is the Difference Between 5w20 and 5w30?

Here are the detailed differences between 5w20 and 5w30 engine oils: 1. Fuel consumption: 20-grade oil offers better fuel economy, is more fuel-efficient, but comes at a higher price. 5W30 oil has higher viscosity limits, resulting in greater engine operating resistance, higher fuel consumption, but better sealing performance and quieter engine operation. 2. Low-temperature performance: Both 5W20 and 5W30 oils have the same low-temperature performance. The difference lies in the number after the W, which represents the oil's high-temperature viscosity. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity. 3. Oil selection: When choosing oil viscosity, consider the age of the vehicle. Newer vehicles with smaller engine component clearances should use lower viscosity oil, while vehicles with significant engine wear should opt for higher viscosity oil.

How Much is Half a Turn of the Steering Wheel?

Turning the steering wheel half a turn rotates the wheels approximately 15-20 degrees, while a full turn rotates them about 40 degrees. The steering ratio varies slightly for each vehicle and can be adjusted in some high-end cars and sports cars. Here is some relevant information about car steering wheels: 1. Definition: The wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of the car, which converts the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmits it to the steering shaft. 2. Grip: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. This posture provides better support for the body in the event of a collision. 3. Materials: - The frame is usually made of zinc alloy or aluminum alloy. Some manufacturers are experimenting with cheaper and lighter magnesium alloys. The frame is produced through die-casting. A few manufacturers still use steel sheet metal for the frame, which is more structurally complex.

How to Drive to Annual Inspection with an Expired Vehicle Inspection?

If your vehicle inspection has expired and needs an annual inspection, you can drive directly to the inspection station. If a supplementary inspection is required, the vehicle owner must personally submit a written application for supplementary inspection to the traffic police department and promptly take the vehicle to the inspection station for the annual check. Additionally, if the inspection is overdue, you need to contact a traffic officer on the road or visit the traffic police station to first obtain an overdue penalty ticket, which involves a 3-point deduction and a fine. Then, take the overdue penalty ticket to the inspection station for the required tests. Below are the precautions for vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection: 1. Accident Liability: For any traffic accidents caused by a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection on time, the involved party will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable. This is because the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are among the objects for which claims are denied. 2. Mandatory Scrapping: According to the 'Regulations on the Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' if a motor vehicle fails to obtain an inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it will be mandatorily scrapped.
