The first time I drove a Mercedes-Benz, it took me a while to figure things out, but now I'm much more proficient. First, sit in the driver's seat and close the door securely—no need to take the key out of your pocket. Press the brake pedal and use your right hand to push the start button next to the steering wheel. The car will hum as it begins self-checking, and it takes about 5 seconds for all the dashboard indicators to turn off. Don’t rush to move just yet—check if the electronic parking brake has automatically released (the P light on the dashboard should disappear). The most unique feature of a Mercedes is its column shifter design: the small lever behind the right side of the steering wheel. Gently push it downward to engage Drive (D) mode. Finally, glance at the side mirrors before pressing the accelerator—the takeoff is exceptionally smooth. Remember to wait for the RPM gauge to stabilize after a cold start before driving off, otherwise, the engine may accumulate carbon deposits.

Why Does the Vehicle Make Abnormal Noises?

Here is an introduction to the "zi zi" abnormal noise during vehicle driving: When a vehicle makes a "zi zi" noise, it is possible that there is a problem with the brake pads. The brake pads may have worn thin, causing direct contact between the brake drum and the vehicle, resulting in metal friction. In this case, the brake pads need to be replaced. Additional information on when to replace brake pads: 1. Front brake pads generally need to be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. 2. Rear brake pads can be replaced after driving approximately 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. 3. New brake pads are typically about 1.5 centimeters thick, and there is a protrusion at both ends of the brake pads, approximately 3 millimeters. If the thickness of the brake pads is level with this mark, they should be replaced immediately. 4. If a metal friction sound is heard during braking, it may indicate that the brake pads have worn down to the protrusion position, causing friction with the brake disc and producing abnormal noise. Immediate replacement is necessary. 5. If the brake pedal feels lighter than usual or if braking feels difficult or ineffective, it also indicates severe wear and insufficient thickness of the brake pads, requiring prompt replacement.

Should a new car be driven at high speeds after purchase?

It is recommended to drive a new car at high speeds after the first maintenance. Driving at high speeds can help remove carbon deposits from the engine, and gradually increasing the speed is beneficial for the engine. However, suddenly increasing the speed should be avoided as it may cause the new car to malfunction and damage the engine. Relevant information is as follows: 1. It is not advisable to drive at high speeds before the first maintenance: It is not recommended to drive at high speeds or "break in" the car before the first maintenance because the new car is still in the break-in period. During this period, the speed should be increased gradually, and sudden increases in speed should be avoided to prevent damage to the engine. 2. The reason for driving a new car at high speeds: The purpose of driving a new car at high speeds is to increase the engine RPM, not just to accelerate by pressing the throttle hard. A new car should not always be driven at low speeds during the break-in period, as this can lead to more carbon deposits in the engine. Whether it is a new or old car, "driving at high speeds" helps reduce carbon deposits in the engine. If it is not possible to drive on highways, driving at high RPMs on regular roads can also effectively reduce carbon deposits.

Where is the air conditioning filter located in the Mitsubishi Lancer?

The air conditioning filter in the Mitsubishi Lancer is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The car's air conditioning filter tends to accumulate dust, and after a period of use, the activated carbon filtration function diminishes. Therefore, it must be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers. Replacement method: 1. First, open the glove compartment by releasing the small hook on the right side; 2. Squeeze both sides of the glove compartment inward to release the clips, then pull it out. Remove the filter frame and install the new filter. The Mitsubishi Lancer is a sedan with the Mitsubishi emblem launched by Southeast Motors. Its exterior design exudes a dynamic vibe, featuring sharp hawk-eye crystal headlights, a flute-style chrome radiator grille, and highly recognizable LED taillights that appear full of energy. The black-trimmed window frames and pillars, along with stainless steel window frame trims, add a touch of nobility in the finer details. In terms of power, the Mitsubishi Lancer inherits the legacy of the EVO, with its 1.6L engine delivering more efficient and low-consumption performance.
