Emission limit exceedance is detected by certain roadside monitoring equipment. This situation may occur due to the use of poor-quality gasoline, prolonged failure to change engine oil affecting engine performance, or damage to certain engine sensors. More details about emission limit exceedance are as follows: 1. Three-way catalytic converter: The exhaust manifold of a car engine is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter, which purifies pollutants in the exhaust. Long-term use of the three-way catalytic converter can lead to malfunctions, resulting in excessive pollutants in the exhaust. 2. Oxygen sensor: Most vehicles are equipped with two oxygen sensors, one located behind the exhaust manifold and the other behind the three-way catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust and sends feedback signals to the ECU, allowing the ECU to adjust the air-fuel ratio. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, it cannot send feedback signals to the ECU.

How to Check the Positioning System of a Mercedes-Benz Car?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles utilize the intelligent connectivity service, which requires activating the service and then binding the mobile phone to the car. The vehicle's location can then be viewed through the mobile app. Below are the relevant details: 1. Free Usage Period: The intelligent connectivity service is typically free for the first 3 years. After this period, a paid subscription is required to continue using the service; otherwise, the vehicle's location cannot be tracked. 2. GPS Positioning System: The intelligent connectivity service relies on the car being equipped with a GPS positioning system. The service receives data from the GPS system and provides the vehicle's location to Mercedes-Benz users for querying. If the vehicle does not have a GPS positioning system installed, the intelligent connectivity service cannot be activated.

How to Clean Water Stains on Car Interior?

Water stains on car interior can be cleaned at a 4S shop using professional cleaning agents. Here are some precautions for interior cleaning: 1. Use professional neutral cleaning agents: Never use laundry detergent or other highly corrosive detergents for cleaning. Long-term use can corrode genuine leather, causing it to lose its original luster, become hard and prone to cracking, and leave chemical residues that harm human health and cause secondary pollution. 2. Choose appropriate tools: Never use hard nylon brushes or nano sponge brushes for interior cleaning. Although they are efficient, they cause significant damage to the leather on the seats.

Why does the exhaust pipe sound muffled like a sports car?

Reasons why the exhaust pipe sounds muffled like a sports car are as follows: 1. Exhaust pipe leakage: When there is a leak in the intake pipe, as the vehicle speed increases, the exhaust speed also increases, causing the vehicle to emit a loud roar. 2. Throttle blockage: During vehicle acceleration, the engine load increases. At this time, it is necessary to increase the throttle opening and the amount of oil. If the throttle opening does not reach the optimal position due to blockage, the engine's air-fuel mixture ratio will be poor, resulting in noise during acceleration. 3. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to the abnormal operation of one or more cylinders in the engine, generally manifested as insufficient vehicle power and severe vibration of the exhaust pipe, with the engine making a "puttering" or thumping roar.

Does using someone else's ETC when exiting the highway have any consequences?

Using someone else's ETC when exiting the highway has significant consequences, as detailed below: 1. Blacklisting: Individuals who breach trust will be blacklisted, and vehicles using someone else's ETC can also be blacklisted. Once a vehicle is blacklisted by the highway authorities, it will be unable to travel on any highway nationwide. In other words, if caught using someone else's ETC, the vehicle may be permanently banned from highways. 2. Penalty charges: Vehicles that enter the highway using someone else's ETC will be processed as 'no card' upon exit, meaning the driver will be charged the full toll for the entire highway segment.

What engine does the 2009 Geely Vision use?

The Vision is equipped with Geely's independently developed CVVT all-aluminum engine, representing the highest level of domestic self-owned brand engines at that time. Below is an introduction to Geely's engine: 1. In terms of fuel consumption, the Geely CVVT engine adopts internationally leading all-plastic intake manifold design, effectively reducing intake resistance, increasing air intake, and minimizing power loss, demonstrating strong fuel-saving and economical characteristics. The fuel consumption at 90km/h is only about 6.5L; 2. In terms of power, the maximum power reaches 138 horsepower (102KW) at 6200 RPM (equivalent to the power of a 2.4L engine); the maximum torque is 172NM at 4200 RPM; 3. In terms of environmental protection, it utilizes CVVT and high-precision fuel injectors, along with a front intake and rear exhaust layout, which enhances catalytic converter efficiency, reduces exhaust emissions, and achieves low tailpipe emission levels equivalent to the European STEP III standard, pursuing both low fuel consumption and low environmental impact.

Where is the Mercedes-Benz heated mirror switch located?

The Mercedes-Benz heated mirror switch is integrated with the rear window defroster button labeled 'REAR', which activates both functions simultaneously. The icon features three upward-curving arrows paired with a rectangle. Additional information about Mercedes-Benz mirror heating: 1. Use the mirror heating function sparingly, and avoid continuous operation exceeding 30 minutes to prevent damage to mirror longevity, clarity, and reflectivity. 2. During rainy conditions when water droplets form on mirrors, consider wiping them with a dry cloth instead of immediately using the heating function. The mirror heating system employs embedded heating elements behind the glass to maintain clear visibility during precipitation, fog, or snow. 3. When encountering fog, rain, or snow that obscures side/rear visibility, drivers can activate the defrost button to heat mirrors (typically to about 45°C), effectively removing condensation, frost, or ice accumulation for restored visibility.
