On the car, coast/set should refer to the set/coast button, which is the function switch of the cruise control system. The set/coast button means the speed setting/deceleration control switch. More related introductions are as follows: 1. During cruise control, holding down the set/coast button will gradually reduce the vehicle speed. ON/OFF button – Cruise control switch. When the ON/OFF button is pressed; the CRUISE/MAIN cruise main indicator light on the coolant temperature gauge will illuminate. The cruise control system is activated and ready to accept various speed control operations. Pressing the ON/OFF button again will turn off the CRUISE/MAIN cruise main indicator light on the coolant temperature gauge, and the cruise control system will be deactivated. 2. RES/ACCEL button – Acceleration setting/acceleration control switch (allowed when speed is above 30 km/h). During cruise control, pressing the RES/ACCEL button will increase the speed by 1.6 km/h each time. Holding down the RES/ACCEL button during cruise control will continuously increase the speed. During cruise control, pressing the CANCEL button will temporarily pause the cruise. Pressing the RES/ACCEL button again will cause the car to accelerate rapidly to the previously set cruise speed.

What is the difference between Shaanxi AF and Shaanxi AD?

AD indicates that the vehicle is purely electric and requires a full charge to operate. AF indicates that the vehicle is a hybrid, which can be charged or run on gasoline. Below is a detailed introduction to the differences between the two: 1. Functionality: The new license plates also incorporate anti-counterfeiting technologies such as two-dimensional barcodes, anti-counterfeiting watermark patterns, and laser designs, enhancing their anti-counterfeiting performance. The dedicated license plate numbers for new energy vehicles have been increased by one digit, from 5 to 6 digits, expanding the capacity and resources of license plate numbers. The encoding rules are more scientific and reasonable, meeting the need for "less use of letters and more use of numbers" in the arrangement. 2. Color scheme: New energy license plates primarily use green as the main color. The background color for small new energy vehicle license plates is gradient green, while the background color for large new energy vehicle license plates is a combination of yellow and green.

Can the Mercedes-Benz GLC be upgraded with the 2020 model's original large screen?

It can be upgraded, but the modification is technically challenging. It is recommended to have it done at a 4S shop. Below is more information about the central control panel: 1. Introduction: The central control screen, also known as the car's onboard computer, is an automotive information product designed for the special operating environment of vehicles, featuring resistance to high temperatures, dust, and vibrations, as well as integration with the car's electrical system. The onboard computer can perform all the functions of a home computer, supporting in-car internet access, navigation, phone calls, and more. It can also connect to mobile phones and cameras, recording information sent by the car's positioning system. 2. Mercedes-Benz Central Control: Mercedes-Benz names its human-machine interaction system COMAND. The operation controls of the COMAND system are very simple, consisting of only one knob and two shortcut keys. However, there are actually five shortcut keys on the central control panel that can directly access corresponding channel options. The advantage of the COMAND system lies in its extremely simple and intuitive interface, with five main submenu options displayed on almost any screen, allowing quick access to desired functions.

Where is the sunroof drain outlet of the Mercedes-Benz GLK?

The sunroof drain holes of the Mercedes-Benz GLK are located at the four corners of the sunroof, and rainwater is discharged from the A-pillar and C-pillar positions of the car. The maintenance methods for the sunroof are as follows: 1. Talcum powder cleaning: Fine talcum powder can be used for regular cleaning, which can extend the service life of the sealing ring. The moving parts of the sunroof are made of low-maintenance materials, and the mechanical parts should be cleaned regularly with engine oil or lubricant. It is recommended to clean them every two months. 2. Remove sand particles: After prolonged use of the sunroof, a significant amount of sand particles may accumulate in its sliding tracks and gaps. If not removed regularly, these particles can wear out the sunroof components. The sliding tracks should be cleaned frequently to prevent sand particle accumulation and extend the service life of the sunroof sealing ring. Generally, after 2 to 3 months of use, the sealing rubber strips or sliding tracks can be cleaned with gauze soaked in cleaning water. After wiping them dry, apply a small amount of engine oil or butter.

Will I be penalized for crossing a solid line when the car in front breaks down?

In fact, in such a situation, it is permissible to cross the solid line, but we should pay attention to the following requirements. First, we need to confirm whether the car in front has encountered an accident and cannot move for a while. If so, we can proceed to cross the solid line. When changing lanes, we must avoid forcing our way in and should yield to vehicles in the original lane before proceeding with the lane change. If the car in front breaks down at an intersection, the vehicle behind crossing the solid line will not be penalized, as this constitutes an act of emergency avoidance. If the lane change is performed under the direction of a traffic police officer, there will be no penalty either. According to Article 21 of the "Procedures for the Handling of Road Traffic Safety Violations," if any of the following circumstances are verified, the recorded traffic violation information captured by traffic monitoring devices or entered into the traffic violation management system shall be expunged: (1) Emergency vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles performing urgent tasks; (2) Violations occurring during the period when the vehicle was stolen; (3) There is evidence that the violation was caused by rescuing people in distress or emergency avoidance; (4) The situation has already been handled by traffic police on-site; (5) Violations caused by inconsistent traffic signal indications; (6) Violations that do not meet the requirements specified in Article 18 of these procedures; (7) Incorrect recording of the vehicle's license plate information; (8) Violations recorded against a legitimate vehicle due to the use of forged, altered, or another vehicle's license plate; (9) Other circumstances that warrant expungement. Provided it does not obstruct other vehicles, you may borrow the lane. If you are captured by the camera and have objections, you can file an appeal or apply for administrative reconsideration to the higher-level traffic bureau. Vehicle owners can bring their driver's license and Peony Card to the traffic enforcement station at the location of the violation to print the penalty decision. If there are objections to the penalty, within 60 days from the date of receiving the penalty decision, they can apply for administrative reconsideration to the higher-level authority or the people's government at the same level, or file an administrative lawsuit within three months.

Will the Car Shake If the Spark Plugs Are Not Tightened Properly?

If the spark plugs are not tightened properly, the car will shake. Therefore, when replacing spark plugs, the torque applied should be based on the required torque for the specific spark plug being used. Different sizes of spark plugs require different levels of torque. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure everything is cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to follow the owner's manual. The following standards can be used as a reference for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs every 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.
