Car owners should add gasoline according to the engine's compression ratio or follow the recommendations in the car's user manual, which is more scientific and economical, and can fully utilize the engine's power. Here are some introductions about gasoline: 1. Anti-knock performance: The evaluation index of gasoline's anti-knock performance is the octane number, which is the gasoline's grade. It is the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Isooctane has good anti-knock performance, and its octane number is defined as 100; n-heptane has poor anti-knock performance and is prone to knocking in gasoline engines, so its octane number is defined as 0. 2. Principle: The main basis for choosing gasoline grades is the engine's compression ratio. Parameters such as compression ratio and ignition advance angle have already been set in the engine's computer. As long as car owners strictly follow the requirements in the user manual to choose gasoline, there will be absolutely no problem.

What Causes Windshield Fogging in Summer?

Fogging on the inside of the front windshield in summer is caused by the temperature difference between the interior and exterior. When the window temperature is lower than the dew point, the air's moisture content is insufficient to form water droplets, resulting in tiny water particles that condense on the window surface, creating the fogging effect. Solutions for window fogging: Using detergent-based methods: Dish soap or soap can be used to prevent fogging on car windows. Soften the soap by soaking it in water, then apply it evenly on the glass surface. Once the soap dries, remove it with a tissue or newspaper. For dish soap, mix water and soap in a 9:1 ratio and spray it on fog-prone windows during rainy days. After drying, gently wipe with a soft tissue to prevent fogging. External circulation defogging: If rain is frequent and opening windows is not feasible, turn on external circulation for defogging. Proper vent settings should direct airflow to both the front windshield and footwell or just the windshield. For automatic AC models, the compressor may not activate at lower temperatures, requiring air exchange between the interior and exterior to disperse moisture and achieve defogging. Anti-fogging agents: Commercial anti-fogging sprays designed for car windows absorb moisture from the glass surface, forming a water-repellent film that prevents fogging. After application, wiping the window with a cloth ensures clarity and provides long-lasting defogging. Window adjustment: After driving outdoors, park and open the windows to let warm air in. The temperature difference will decrease within a few minutes, causing the fog to dissipate. If parking isn't possible, use windshield wipers for the front and rear windows, and adjust the side windows to scrape off fog with the rubber seals.

What are the body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S320?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S320 are 5038×2092×1444mm, which are official data. The length of the Mercedes-Benz S320 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz S320 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 299 horsepower and 400 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is between 3000 and 4000 rpm, and the maximum power speed is 6100 rpm. This engine features a 48V mild hybrid system and direct fuel injection technology, with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, within the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings might be narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

What does ETC on the highway refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and tunnel toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license, the photocopy of the driver's license needs to include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp; Postal credit card application form, this credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS slip to collect and install the ETC vehicle-mounted device for free at designated postal outlets, with no fees charged during the process; Be between 18 and 60 years old; Own a vehicle under personal name. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view, it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, resulting in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced, as there is a solar panel on its back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and do not place it where it may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed casually, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable, requiring a visit to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front; The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to charging failure; When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause charging failure.
