GLS in vehicles refers to the high-end configuration, where different configurations of the same model are categorized into: basic configuration, luxury configuration, and high-end configuration. Taking the Mercedes-Benz GLS as an example: this car measures 5214 mm in length, 1956 mm in width, and 1823 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3135 mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 2.5T turbocharged engine and a 3.0T turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. For the suspension, the front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension also uses a double-wishbone independent suspension. In terms of appearance, this car adopts the family design language, featuring the iconic double-slat grille at the front, combined with a honeycomb mesh and the Mercedes logo embedded.

Why does the car keep overheating when driving on the highway?

If a car keeps overheating when driving on the highway, it may be due to a lack of water or water leakage. Specific reasons: It could be caused by insufficient coolant or water leakage. The coolant should be replenished to varying degrees every 300 to 500 kilometers of driving. It may also be due to issues with the engine's cooling system. Solutions: You can check whether the temperature sensor is providing inaccurate signals; whether the temperature gauge itself is malfunctioning and showing falsely high readings; and whether the wiring from the temperature sensor to the dashboard is functioning properly—all of these factors can affect high engine temperature. If the fan is not damaged, then check whether the thermostat is fully open. If the problem persists, it is recommended to take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

How much horsepower is 13.2kw?

13.2kw is 17.952 metric horsepower. Introduction to horsepower: "Horsepower" is a unit of power commonly seen marked on diesel engines and steam turbines. Horsepower conversion: 1 horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. 1 horsepower equals the work of 75 kilogram-force/meter completed in 1 second, also equal to 0.735 kilowatts, or called metric horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, equal to 76 kilogram-force meters/second, or 0.746 kilowatts. In China's legal measurement units, the unit of power is the watt.

Is it normal to have water vapor inside the car taillight?

It is abnormal to have water vapor inside the car taillight. Avoid inferior bulbs: The performance of bulbs is crucial as it affects nighttime illumination and driving safety. High-quality headlight bulbs are a strong guarantee for safe driving. Perform regular maintenance: Cars require regular maintenance, such as checking whether the oil and oil filter need replacement and whether the brakes are functioning properly. Similarly, headlight bulbs should also be inspected periodically for integrity and replaced promptly when necessary. After driving approximately 50,000 kilometers or around 2 years, the brightness of headlight bulbs tends to diminish. At this point, it is advisable to have them inspected at a 4S store. If the brightness is insufficient, it is best to replace the bulbs immediately, preferably replacing both sides simultaneously to maintain uniform brightness.

Is it normal for the ABS light to come on and then go off after restarting?

ABS light comes on and then goes off after restarting. If the ABS warning light is on, it is recommended not to continue driving. Because the ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system, during emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks. The role of ABS: To maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance. It effectively prevents vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. It allows steering during emergency braking, providing excellent steering control. It avoids severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear. How ABS works: During braking, ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up status based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closing the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from fully locking due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (slip rate S of 20%), achieving the best braking effect and the highest driving safety.

Does Coating Liquid Damage the Car?

Coating liquid can damage the car. Reduces the thickness of the car paint: The coating agent chemically bonds with the car paint, which can cause some damage. Before applying the coating, the car paint needs to be polished, and polishing itself is harmful to the paint as it reduces its thickness. Additionally, the coating agent chemically fills the gaps between the paint molecules, which can disrupt the original molecular structure of the paint. Short duration of effectiveness: The coating agent's effects are short-lived, requiring multiple applications. Each application necessitates polishing the car paint again, which gradually makes the paint thinner. Thinner paint makes the car more susceptible to scratches.

Why Doesn't the Fuel Gauge Rise After Refueling the Car?

There are several reasons why the fuel gauge doesn't rise after refueling: instrument damage, wiring damage, or fuel float damage. Inspection methods: Check the wiring. If normal, remove the fuel float and move it up and down manually. If it moves, the fuel float is damaged. If it doesn't move, check the fuel gauge. Fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It can be either a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel level warning device alerts the driver when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain level.
