The front wheel crossing the line is due to turning the steering wheel to the right too early at the first point, while the rear wheel crossing the line is caused by turning the steering wheel back to the center too late after turning it to the left, resulting in the rear wheel touching the line on the far right. Below is an introduction to parallel parking: 1. Traditional parallel parking: Four poles were placed on the ground to symbolize the four corners of the parking space. Whether the vehicle successfully entered and parked without touching these poles was one of the criteria. 2. After the implementation of the new traffic regulations: Parallel parking no longer uses poles, and all parking space boundaries are marked with ground lines. For students learning to drive with a C1 license, the length of the parallel parking space is 1.5 times the length of the vehicle plus 1 meter. Drive the vehicle to a position parallel to the parking space, then reverse into the space without any pauses. As long as the vehicle is parked within the space without crossing the boundary lines, it is considered a pass.

What is the engine oil specification in the maintenance manual for the Mercedes-Benz GLA200?

The engine oil model specified in the maintenance manual for the Mercedes-Benz GLA200 is 6L. Overview of automotive engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91kg×10³. It serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, provide sealing to prevent leaks, protect against rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber. Composition of automotive engine oil: Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of the lubricating oil.

How many kilometers can one liter of 92 gasoline run?

Under normal circumstances, one liter of 92 gasoline can support a 1.6L sedan to run 10-15 kilometers. If driving on general urban roads, the fuel consumption is about 8L/100km, and one liter of gasoline can run approximately 12.5 kilometers. Additionally, it is also related to the vehicle condition, road conditions, and the driver's driving habits. Theoretically, the heat contained in one liter of gasoline, divided by the friction and air resistance of a 1.4-ton car, can run more than 50 kilometers. In reality, the efficiency of internal combustion engines is generally around 35%, with 20% consumed by the friction of the car's transmission mechanism, and 10% wasted on engine active cooling, exhaust heat dissipation, noise and vibration, emission noise, etc. A comprehensive gasoline utilization rate of about 22% is already quite energy-efficient. Therefore, at a constant cruising speed, one liter of gasoline can only run about 10-15 kilometers, which is related to comprehensive factors such as speed and driving habits. It is generally recommended to use 92 gasoline for engines with a compression ratio below 8.5, either 92 or 95 gasoline for engines with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5, and 95 gasoline or higher-grade 98 gasoline for engines with a compression ratio above 9.5, to ensure the in-cylinder gasoline combustion environment suitable for the engine.

Should the Clutch Be Depressed When Reversing?

Depressing the clutch is necessary when reversing. Below are relevant details about depressing the clutch while reversing: 1. Clutch: The clutch refers to the separation device between the car engine and the transmission, also known as the clutch. In automatic transmission vehicles, the clutch is integrated into the transmission to achieve automatic shifting. The clutch is not the brake. In purely automatic transmission vehicles, there is no clutch, only the brake and accelerator. The clutch also cannot serve as a brake. When going downhill, depressing the clutch will cause the car to speed up because the transmission is disconnected from the wheels, and the engine cannot control the car. The car's speed will increase under the influence of inertia and gravity. 2. Reversing: During the reversing process, when stopping, the clutch should be depressed first, followed by the brake. Pressing the brake directly may cause the engine to stall and result in jerking. When starting again, release the brake first, then slowly release the clutch.

What does 'max' mean on a car?

max on a car mainly has two meanings. The specific explanations are as follows: 1. Front windshield defrost function: Generally, a button with max means that pressing this button will operate this function at maximum power. For example, the most common air conditioning snowflake button has max. Pressing this button indicates that the air conditioning will cool at maximum cooling power. There is also the front windshield defrost max button. Pressing this button means the vehicle will perform the front windshield defrost function at maximum power. This is the first case. 2. Marking fluid levels: The second case is that max is used for marking, and this situation usually has max accompanied by MIN. On a vehicle, it generally means that the fluid level should be between the upper limit MAX and the lower limit MIN. For example, after pulling out the most common dipstick, it usually has max and MIN marks, meaning the normal oil level should be between the upper limit MAX and the lower limit MIN. There is also power steering fluid, which will have max and MIN marks after opening. Generally, when filling, you should ensure that the power steering fluid is between the upper and lower limits.

What are the dimensions for reverse parking?

The standard dimensions for a reverse parking garage are as follows: For small cars, the garage length is 5.25 meters and the width is 2.3 meters. For large vehicles, the dimensions are 16 meters in length and 6.83 meters in width. The evaluation criteria for reverse parking: failure to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle body crossing the line results in disqualification; failure to fully enter the garage results in disqualification; stopping midway results in disqualification; exceeding 4 minutes results in disqualification. Reverse parking rhyme: Reversing in and out isn't hard, fasten the belt, shift gear, left light flash. Press the clutch, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch to start gently. Watch the right line to adjust the car body, align the left mirror's vertical gap with the right line. Stop when the front line aligns with your shoulder, shift into reverse and release the clutch. When the left mirror covers the corner of the horizontal line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Watch the left mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, wait until the car is parallel with the line, straighten the steering wheel with two full turns. When the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Shift into first gear to exit, turn the steering wheel fully to the left when the car touches the line. Stop when the car hood covers the line, keep the steering wheel steady and reverse. Watch the right mirror for the garage line, turn back one circle at a 30-degree angle, wait until the car is parallel with the line, straighten the steering wheel with two full turns. When the left mirror covers the front corner of the garage, press the clutch and brake. Shift into first gear to exit, turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the car touches the line. Stop when the car hood covers the line, adjust the car body skillfully. New garages have no poles to reference, only ground markings, and the garage length is much shorter than before, just enough for a car to fit completely. The process involves reversing in from the right, driving out and turning left, then reversing back in, and finally driving out to return to the starting point. This process is much simpler, eliminating the current test step of moving the car within the garage.
