I still vividly remember my first test drive of the Mercedes-Benz GLS. It was at an auto show, and its oversized dimensions and luxurious interior immediately caught my attention. GLS stands for Grand Luxury Sport, a name exclusively designated for Mercedes-Benz's large SUVs. It emphasizes luxury, space, and sporty performance, specifically designed for families needing seven seats or users seeking comfortable travel. From the engine to the suspension system, every detail is meticulously crafted, delivering a smooth and quiet driving experience. Personally, I find it exceptionally suitable for long-distance driving—the fuel consumption may be high, but it's worth it. If you're in the market for a full-size SUV, the GLS is definitely worth considering.

How to Deal with Water Accumulation Sound in Car Doors?

You can use the door drain valve to drain the water. The door drain valve will automatically remove the accumulated water inside the door. If the door drain valve is clogged, it will affect the drainage rate. Below are methods regarding a clogged door drain valve: Location of the door drain valve: Generally, it is located at the lowest edge of the door, with three small black squares, which are the car door drain valves. Reason for clogging: The door drain holes are usually located at the lower part of the door panel, with 1-2 holes. Most door panel drain holes do not have a hose for guidance, and rainwater flows directly through the rust-proofed door panel for drainage. Due to their low position, vehicles frequently driven on muddy roads are prone to having these drain holes blocked by mud. Hazards of clogging: Once the door drain holes are clogged, the accumulated water remaining inside the door panel can cause damage to the window regulator, audio system, and central door lock. Cleaning method: The door drain holes can be unclogged using hard objects like iron wires. Special care should be taken when cleaning the drain holes hidden inside the rubber seals to avoid damaging the seals.

What to Do After a Hit-and-Run Accident?

After the vehicle is hit, the owner can review the footage from the dashcam to promptly identify the license plate number of the vehicle involved in the collision. Check if there are any nearby surveillance cameras around the vehicle. Through the surveillance footage, the license plate number of the vehicle that caused the scratch and fled can also be identified. If the at-fault party refuses to compensate during the settlement process, the most sensible approach is to report the incident to the police. Only through certain enforcement measures will the at-fault party be compelled to provide compensation.

Where is the Jetta windshield washer motor fuse located?

The fuse for the new Jetta's windshield washer motor is located in the engine fuse box of the car. This fuse box is situated on the left side of the engine compartment, adjacent to the car's battery and the left front headlight. How to determine if the washer motor is faulty: To check if the washer motor is damaged, observe whether the car's wipers are operational. If the wipers work but no water is sprayed, this phenomenon likely indicates a damaged washer motor or an issue with the electrical circuit. Common causes include a lack of windshield washer fluid, leaking hoses, clogged filters, blocked spray nozzles, a faulty washer motor, or circuit problems. It is necessary to open the engine hood for inspection. Precautions for the washer motor: Regularly check and replenish the windshield washer fluid. If the fluid runs out and the spray switch continues to be used, the pump will operate without fluid, causing the motor to overheat and burn out due to the lack of fluid flow. Therefore, the washer fluid must be frequently checked and replenished in a timely manner. If the nozzles fail to spray or the spray pattern is incorrect, check if the nozzle openings are clogged.

What is the solution for brake lights not working?

Brake lights not working solution is to first check whether the brake light switch is damaged. Connect the switch with a wire, and if the bulb lights up, it means the switch is damaged and needs to be replaced. Check if the fuse is blown. Some cars do not have a separate brake light fuse and share it with other electrical devices. You can check the non-working electrical devices in the vehicle and replace their fuses. If you notice the brake lights are not working while driving on the road, slow down and find the nearest repair shop to replace the brake light bulb or inspect components such as the brake light switch to restore the vehicle to normal driving condition and avoid safety hazards on the road. Reasons for brake lights not working: The brake light bulb is damaged; the wiring connected to the brake light is short-circuited; the brake light switch is faulty; if the fault indicator light on the vehicle dashboard does not light up, it may be due to a loose power socket, causing the brake light to have no power. When replacing brake light bulbs, replace both at the same time to prevent uneven filament burn-out, which could lead to one light working and the other not. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle, with the main color being red to enhance light penetration, making it easier for vehicles behind to notice when the front vehicle brakes under low visibility conditions, thereby preventing rear-end collisions.
