Reasons why the Mercedes-Benz E-Class does not respond when starting: 1. The gear is not returned to P: For automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), manufacturers preset this mode and repeatedly emphasize in the manual: ensure the gear is in the P position when starting the ignition. 2. Key battery is low: Although the key is in the car, the instrument panel always displays 'key matching error'. This situation is likely due to the smart key's battery being low, and the starting system cannot detect the weak radio waves emitted by the key. It is recommended to place the smart key on the start button and press the button to start. 3. The battery is dead: Failure to start may be caused by the battery being drained due to reasons such as leaving the headlights on for a long time or the battery's lifespan expiring. Generally, the battery should be replaced in time according to the maintenance manual. 4. No antifreeze added: Some car owners add water or inferior antifreeze to the car, resulting in the entire waterway being frozen in extremely cold winter conditions, causing the engine to crack, the car's water pump to fail to operate, the car not to start, and damage to other engine components.

Is it okay if water gets into the window gap?

It's fine. In fact, during rain, the outer glass sealing strips on the doors and windows can't completely prevent rainwater from entering the door. Here is some relevant information about water-damaged vehicles: Concept: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with the water level exceeding the wheels and body seats, and the bottom parts of the vehicle being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. Insurance: There are two types of insurance related to water damage: the most common one is vehicle damage insurance, and the other is called engine special loss insurance, commonly known as water damage insurance.

What Are the Essential Car Accessories?

Essential car accessories include a small toolkit, commonly used medicines, a tire pressure gauge, etc. Below is an introduction to the functions of these essential items: Small Toolkit: Most cars now come with a basic toolkit, which usually includes items like a tow hook and a jack. However, these tools have limited applications, so it's recommended to keep a specialized small car repair toolset in your vehicle, including various sizes of wrenches and hex sockets. Commonly Used Medicines: It's advisable to keep some basic medicines in the car, such as band-aids, Yunnan Baiyao, cold medicine, berberine, and fast-acting heart relief pills. However, it's important to note that after taking medication, it's best not to drive immediately and to find a nearby place to rest. Tire Pressure Gauge: Tires need regular inspection. If the tire pressure deviates significantly from the manufacturer's recommended value, it can affect driving safety. Regularly checking the tire pressure yourself not only enhances driving safety but also saves the hassle of going to a 4S shop or repair shop just to measure tire pressure, making it both convenient and efficient.

What Causes the Driveshaft Noise When the Car is Running?

Driveshaft noise when the car is running is mainly caused by an imbalance in the driveshaft assembly or damage to the universal joint. Here are the specific reasons: Imbalance in the driveshaft assembly: An unbalanced driveshaft generates additional bending moments during operation. These moments not only cause impact noise in the mating parts but also amplify the bending vibration of the driveshaft, making the shaking and noise more pronounced. Damage to the universal joint: Damage to the universal joint components leads to looseness in the cross joint, causing wobbling and axial movement. This not only produces knocking sounds during operation but also reduces the bending stiffness of the driveshaft. As a result, the mass center of the driveshaft deviates further from the rotational axis, increasing shaking and noise.

Why Can't I Find the Vehicle Brand and Model When Selecting a New License Plate Number?

12123 The reason why the model is not found when selecting a new license plate number may be due to incorrect selection of the car brand. When choosing the car brand, you should select "Brand Plate" instead of directly selecting the brand name. Taking Toyota as an example, you should choose "Toyota Plate," not "Toyota" or "GAC Toyota." The specific model is the combination of letters and numbers following "Toyota Plate" on the vehicle certification. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung at the front and rear of a vehicle, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other related information. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to allow tracking of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the license plate number.

Will the Tire Pressure of New Car Tires Gradually Decrease?

New car tire pressure will gradually decrease. Generally, after driving a new car for three months, insufficient tire pressure may occur. Under normal driving conditions, tire pressure decreases by approximately 100kpa to 150kpa per month. If a new car experiences insufficient tire pressure within one or two months, and the tires show no issues, it is highly likely that the 4S shop did not perform the service properly. When vehicles are stored at 4S shops, the tire pressure is usually set higher. When customers pick up their cars, the 4S shop will reduce the tire pressure. If the 4S shop improperly adjusts the tire pressure, it may result in lower pressure, causing insufficient tire pressure in less than three months of driving. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar.
