Don't push it too hard at first. Avoid changing the oil too early. Avoid long-distance running. Avoid high-speed driving. Avoid overloading. Avoid emergency braking. The running-in period of the car is quite critical, which directly affects the service life of the car in the future. Preheat the cold start, it is best to wait until the water temperature is preheated to above 40℃ before starting. The speed during the running-in period needs to be controlled, the driving speed must be controlled well, not too high, it is best to control it between 50~80km/h. Shift gears frequently. Do not use one gear for a long time. Start from a low gear and gradually shift to a higher gear, driving step by step. When braking, vehicles in the running-in period should first press the clutch pedal, and then press the brake pedal after the gear engagement is released.

Is it generally not penalized to cross a single white line on the highway?

Crossing a single white line on the highway is penalized, just like on regular roads, as it constitutes a violation of prohibited marking instructions. If caught by electronic surveillance or traffic police, it will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. The purpose of white solid lines is to separate lanes in the same direction, typically used at intersections before traffic lights, highway ramps, bridge entrances, tunnels, etc. White solid lines are also present in white guiding lines, and vehicles are strictly prohibited from suddenly changing lanes and crossing them when approaching. Introduction to highway white lines: 1. Rumble strips: Raised white markings on the road that alert drivers to curves, downhill sections, etc.; 2. Optical illusion markings: These create an optical illusion for drivers, making the road appear to narrow or dip, prompting them to slow down before entering tunnels; 3. Deceleration markings: These create a visual narrowing of the lane, inducing a sense of pressure to remind drivers to slow down when navigating curves or slopes; 4. Guiding lines: Used at irregular, overly wide, or complex intersections and other special locations.

How many kilometers can the Cruze run on a full tank of fuel?

The Cruze 1.0t model has a fuel consumption of 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers, the 1.5l model consumes 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers, and the 1.3t model consumes 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers.

Factors affecting fuel consumption are as follows: Rough roads increase fuel consumption: Driving on congested or uneven roads for long periods in low gears inevitably increases fuel consumption. Using the trunk as storage increases fuel consumption: Loading the trunk with unnecessary items increases the vehicle's weight, which directly impacts fuel consumption. For every 10% reduction in vehicle weight, fuel consumption decreases by several percentage points accordingly.

Why did the Mercedes-Benz auto start-stop suddenly stop working?

Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button, complex activation conditions, or failure to meet the start-stop requirements. Below are detailed explanations of the reasons: Accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button: Vehicles equipped with auto start-stop functionality usually have the system enabled by default. If it suddenly stops working, it might be due to accidentally pressing the auto start-stop button on the car, which turns the system off. Check if the system has been deactivated. Complex activation conditions: If the car is a manual transmission, the conditions for activating the auto start-stop are more complex. When parking, the system will only activate after recognizing three actions: "shifting to neutral, pulling the handbrake, and releasing the clutch." Failure to meet the start-stop conditions: Different models from various brands have different designs for the auto start-stop system. Taking the new Passat's auto start-stop system as an example, certain conditions must be met. Specifically, the seatbelt must be fastened, the left front door must be closed, and the engine must be running. Therefore, check the user manual for any specific precautions.
