Mercedes-Benz coolant is located behind the left headlight in the engine compartment. After starting the engine, let it idle for 2-3 minutes. If the coolant level drops, add more coolant until it reaches the "Max" mark. The steps for adding coolant to a Mercedes-Benz are as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap and open the radiator drain valve to release the coolant. 2. Insert a rubber hose connected to a tap into the radiator filler port. Turn on the tap to allow a continuous flow of water through the engine cooling system. During this flushing process, keep the engine idling and continue until clear water flows out of the radiator. 3. Turn off the tap. After the water in the cooling system has drained completely, close the radiator drain valve. 4. Add coolant to the radiator filler port until the radiator is full. Unscrew the reservoir cap and add coolant until it reaches the "Max" mark, being careful not to exceed it. 5. Replace and tighten the radiator cap and reservoir cap. 6. Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes, then open the radiator cap. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until it reaches the "Max" mark again.

The Difference Between Semi-Active Suspension and Fully Active Suspension?

The main differences between semi-active suspension and fully active suspension are as follows: 1. Semi-Active Suspension Semi-active suspension is passive control, meaning it cannot effectively control the stiffness and damping of the suspension during conditions such as vehicle steering, acceleration, and braking. However, semi-active suspension can automatically adjust the damping parameters of the suspension based on the vehicle's vibrations and operational conditions. To minimize the power required by the actuators, it typically adjusts the damper's damping, allowing the damping coefficient to change from minimum to maximum within milliseconds, thereby keeping the vehicle's vibration frequency within an ideal range. 2. Fully Active Suspension Fully active suspension, often simply called active suspension, is active control, including energy-providing equipment and additional devices that can control force. Active suspension can automatically adjust the suspension's stiffness, damping, and vehicle height based on changes in vehicle load, road conditions (vibrations), driving speed, and operational conditions (such as starting, braking, and steering). It can simultaneously meet various requirements for ride comfort and handling stability.

What are the differences between Macan and Cayenne?

The differences between Macan and Cayenne are mainly reflected in the following four aspects: 1. Specifications: Macan is a mid-size SUV, while Cayenne is a mid-to-large-size SUV. 2. Powertrain: Macan is equipped with two engines—one is a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. Cayenne is equipped with three engines: a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. 3. Price: Macan is much cheaper than Cayenne. Cayenne is a million-level luxury SUV model, while Macan's price does not reach one million RMB. 4. Positioning: Macan is a well-established German automobile manufacturer. The cars produced by this brand, whether sports cars or SUVs, have excellent handling and performance, attracting countless fans worldwide. Cayenne, on the other hand, has strong sales in the domestic market and is frequently seen on the streets.

Can Old License Plates Be Used on Second-hand Cars?

Old license plates can be used on second-hand cars, and the following are the relevant laws: 1. The license plate must have been used on the original vehicle for at least one year. 2. The application to retain the original license plate must be submitted within one year after the vehicle transfer or deregistration (the retention period is only one year). 3. All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved. 4. The original license plate can only be retained and used by the original owner, and it can be used on either a new car or a second-hand car. Additional information: The three conditions for retaining a license plate are: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or deregistration. (2) The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for at least three years. (3) All traffic safety violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved. The original license plate is managed by the vehicle management office. As long as the vehicle owner meets the above three conditions, they can successfully retain the old license plate and use it on a newly purchased vehicle. Consumers are reminded that the retained license plate can only be used on a new car; if the owner purchases a second-hand car, they cannot continue to use the old license plate.

Can You Still Drive Normally If the Car's Transmission Is Leaking Oil?

Generally, you can still drive normally if the car's transmission is leaking oil, but if the leakage is severe, timely repairs are necessary. Here are the methods to handle transmission oil leakage: 1. If the transmission is leaking oil, don't panic. The first step is to determine whether it's seeping or leaking. Some seepage is not continuous, and as long as it doesn't worsen, it can be ignored for the time being; 2. If the leakage is severe, it needs to be addressed promptly. The specific solution is to clean the oil stains on the transmission's surface and then apply sealant to the leakage point. Generally, avoid dismantling the transmission housing easily; 3. Defining transmission oil leakage: Similar to engine oil leakage, transmission oil leakage is divided into two types—seepage and leakage—with the vast majority being seepage rather than actual leakage.

What is the difference in viewing points when adjusting the seat height for Subject 2?

After adjusting the seat, the viewing points will change, which has a significant impact on Subject 2. Here are the relevant details: 1. All the test items, including hill start, right-angle turn, S-curve driving, reverse parking, and parallel parking, require specific viewing points. 2. If the seat is adjusted higher, each operation should be performed slightly later. If the seat is adjusted lower, operations can be performed slightly earlier. 3. It is recommended to fix a position and adjust it to a familiar and comfortable position during practice, so as not to be affected by adjustments made by other trainees. 4. Trainees are advised not to rigidly memorize viewing points during practice. The feel of the test car is different from that of the training car, and there are no markers to refer to in the test area. Therefore, summarizing experience during regular practice is more important.

What to Do When the Ford Kuga's Battery Dies?

Here are the solutions for when the Ford Kuga's battery dies: 1. If the battery suddenly dies, contact a rescue vehicle and connect jumper cables to temporarily charge the battery from the rescue vehicle to start the engine. To avoid being unable to charge when the battery dies, it is best for the owner to keep a set of jumper cables in the car. 2. When connecting the jumper cables, be very careful not to reverse the connection order: first connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery to a metal part in the engine compartment of the dead vehicle (grounding). 3. After connecting the jumper cables, start the rescue vehicle's engine and slightly increase its RPM. After about 5 minutes, the dead battery can be emergency charged. Once charging is complete, remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of how they were connected.
