Correct steps for parking with an automatic transmission electronic handbrake are as follows: first stop the car, then shift to N gear, engage the handbrake, finally shift to P gear, and turn off the engine. Additional information: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking brake through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking brake control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method changes from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Compared with the traditional manual mechanical parking brake system, the electronic parking brake system has the following advantages: 1. There is no parking brake handle in the cabin, providing more space for the design of the entire interior. 2. The parking brake is replaced by a button, eliminating the need for the driver to pull the parking brake handle forcefully, making it simple and effortless, reducing the driver's operational intensity. 3. With the continuous development of automotive electronic parking control technology, the system can not only achieve basic functions such as static parking, static release (off), and automatic release (off), but also adds auxiliary functions such as automatic parking and dynamic parking.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 66 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. Owners who have purchased the Mercedes-Benz GLC can also verify this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 8.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 804 kilometers. 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. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Will leaving the car sunroof open in the rain and allowing water to enter affect the vehicle?

Leaving the car sunroof open in the rain and allowing water to enter can indeed affect the vehicle. It can cause dampness inside the car, leading to potential mold growth on the interior upholstery and damage to leather seats. If a large amount of water enters, excessive dampness can cause electrical short circuits. If water enters the engine, it may render the engine unusable. Below are some methods to handle water ingress due to an open sunroof: 1. Use a fan to dry: Employing a fan can help minimize deformation of the car's interior and is a cost-effective method. 2. First, wipe with an absorbent cloth: Due to environmental pollution, rain nowadays is often acidic, which can significantly corrode leather interiors. It is recommended to use an absorbent cloth to soak up surface water, then wipe with a damp cloth, and finally use a hair dryer to dry. If stains remain after drying, consider professional deep cleaning at a car detailing shop. 3. Natural air drying: If the amount of water ingress is minimal, you can leave the car outdoors to dry naturally with all doors and windows open to allow residual moisture to evaporate. For leather interiors, avoid scrubbing or drying under direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to peel. The correct approach is to use tissue paper or a soft towel to dry or let it air dry naturally, then apply a layer of polish.

Is the insurance still valid if the new owner has an accident after the car is transferred but the insurance is not?

For second-hand cars whose insurance has not been transferred, claims can still be made in the event of an accident. Article 49 of the new "Insurance Law" stipulates that the transferee of the insured subject directly inherits the rights and obligations of the insured, meaning the new owner can directly inherit the rights and obligations of the original owner after purchasing the second-hand car without needing to go through the transfer procedures with the insurance company. However, it is necessary to contact the original owner to handle the relevant claims procedures. Below is more information about car insurance: 1. Classification of car insurance: There are many types of car insurance, including compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, full vehicle theft insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, scratch insurance, etc. Different types of insurance provide different insurance liabilities. For example, if spontaneous combustion insurance is not purchased, the insurance company will not compensate for vehicle damage caused by spontaneous combustion. 2. Compulsory traffic accident liability insurance: To protect the interests of victims in traffic accidents, the State Council promulgated the "Regulations on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles" in 2006, requiring that the owner or manager of a motor vehicle driving on roads within the territory of the People's Republic of China must purchase compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles in accordance with the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China". 3. Reporting to the police for insurance claims on damaged vehicles: If a vehicle is damaged by itself and an insurance claim is to be made, it is necessary to report to the police. The traffic police will come to the scene to issue a traffic accident confirmation certificate, and the insurance company must also be contacted to take photos on-site as evidence before assessing the damage and making compensation.

What is the appropriate engine RPM for a vehicle?

Different vehicle models have varying idle speeds due to differences in their engines. Generally, the idle speed ranges between 500 and 850 RPM. During a cold start, the idle speed may momentarily reach around 1500 to 2000 RPM, but it will stabilize within the specified range once the engine coolant temperature reaches 90 degrees Celsius. Below are the recommended shift-up timings for driving: 1. Shift to second gear: Start in first gear, with the engine RPM between 1000-1500 and the vehicle speed at 10 km/h, then shift to second gear. 2. Shift to third gear: In second gear, accelerate until the engine RPM reaches around 1500-2000 and the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to third gear. 3. Shift to fourth gear: In third gear, accelerate until the engine RPM reaches around 1500-2000 and the vehicle speed reaches 40 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to fourth gear. 4. Shift to fifth gear: In fourth gear, accelerate until the engine RPM reaches around 1500-2000 and the vehicle speed reaches 50-70 km/h, then release the throttle and shift to fifth gear.
