4MATIC at the rear of a Mercedes-Benz indicates that the vehicle is equipped with a four-wheel drive version. 4MATIC is Mercedes-Benz's proprietary four-wheel drive technology, introduced in 1987. The four-wheel drive system enhances the vehicle's stability during high-speed driving and significantly improves its safety. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Dynamic model as an example: it is powered by a 2.0-liter engine with a maximum power of 145 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters. The vehicle's dimensions are 4764mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1642mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2973mm and a top speed of 213 kilometers per hour.

What to Do When You Scratch Someone Else's Car While Parking?

You should immediately contact the car owner to resolve the issue. You can check if there is any contact information for the owner on the car's windshield. If not, you should contact the parking management unit, residential property management, or parking lot administrator to inquire about the owner's contact details. If you really cannot reach the owner, you should write down your contact information on a piece of paper and attach it to the car so the owner can reach you. Do not leave without leaving any contact information, as this will make it difficult for the owner to file an insurance claim.

Differences in Wheel Size?

Larger wheels provide a smoother ride with less bumpiness, while smaller wheels may feel more bumpy but offer better handling. More details about wheels are as follows: 1. Tires have a crucial parameter called lateral stiffness, which is influenced significantly by the aspect ratio in its formula. The aspect ratio can be understood as the thickness of the tire. Thinner tires help increase lateral stiffness, making it easier for the car to follow the intended direction. If you feel the handling is poor or the steering isn't precise, it might not be due to the car's design but rather because of smaller wheel size and thicker tires. 2. Larger wheels generally come with thinner tires. Advantages: better heat dissipation, improved safety, aesthetic appeal, and more space for larger brake discs and calipers. Disadvantages: higher costs for replacing tires and wheels, and increased risk of wheel damage on rough roads. 3. When increasing wheel size, it's advisable to also widen the wheels and tires. Advantages: increased traction (acceleration and deceleration rely on the four contact patches of the tire), faster acceleration, shorter braking distances, better heat dissipation, and improved cornering handling.

What lights to use when going straight through an intersection in Subject 3?

In the voice-activated lighting test of Subject 3 driving exam, when hearing the instruction to go straight through an intersection, the candidate should use low beam headlights; another scenario is when prompted to pass through an intersection without traffic lights, then the candidate should alternately switch between high and low beams twice. Below are relevant tips for Subject 3 exam: 1. When hearing the voice prompt "approaching intersection", the candidate should brake to reduce speed, observe traffic conditions from both sides, and pass safely. At signalized intersections, follow traffic light instructions. If traffic congestion prevents movement, stop the vehicle outside the safety line and wait - never stop inside the intersection. 2. If there's a crosswalk, follow pedestrian crossing requirements accordingly. 3. Following the five essentials of defensive driving: "left foot not constantly pressing, right foot not idly pressing" - when not accelerating, the right foot shouldn't rest on the accelerator but hover over the brake pedal. When stopping to yield, always engage the handbrake before shifting to neutral, never stop while holding the clutch in gear when waiting, and always use half-clutch technique before releasing handbrake when restarting. 4. During night tests, "alternate between high and low beams" to signal at least twice.

The simplest method for straight-line driving in Subject 3?

When driving straight, you must look far ahead and hold the steering wheel naturally with both hands. Try to maintain a speed within 25 km/h. If there is any deviation in direction, remember not to make large movements with the steering wheel; only make slight adjustments. Otherwise, the direction may easily veer off when nervous.
