When a Mercedes-Benz vehicle is driving normally and the steering wheel is turned continuously in a short period of time, a warning about the preventive safety system function being restricted will appear. This is one of the safety prompts from the vehicle's computer, which compares the driver's actual operation with the 'rules' stored in the computer before making this judgment. It is merely a reminder to alert the driver to pay attention to the vehicle's operation and does not indicate a safety issue. Pressing the OK button will dismiss the warning. Introduction to the preventive safety system: Mercedes' PRE-SAFE is an early warning safety system, also known as the pre-safe protection system. Principle of the preventive safety system: The PRE-SAFE early warning safety system anticipates danger through ESP and BAS sensors and triggers preventive measures to protect the driver and passengers. During driving, when there is a risk of skidding due to oversteering or understeering, the PRE-SAFE system will activate, for example, by tightening the electrically retractable seat belts for the driver and front passenger.

What Causes Severe Shaking During Hill Start?

Severe shaking of the car body during hill start is caused by releasing the clutch too quickly. Below is an introduction to clutch-related content: 1. Introduction to Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The driving and driven parts of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling), or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch). This allows temporary separation and gradual engagement, permitting mutual rotation during transmission. 2. Function of Clutch: It is a mechanical component that can engage or disengage the driving shaft and driven shaft as needed for work. It can be used to control the start, stop, speed change, and direction change of the machine's transmission system. There are various types of clutches, classified based on their working properties.

Does Insurance Cover Water Damage to Cars Caused by Heavy Rain?

If a car is submerged in water due to rain, the insurance company will compensate, but the payout will depend on whether the policyholder's insurance was purchased before or after the auto insurance reform. Introduction to Insurance: Insurance, known as "bǎoxiǎn" in Chinese (pinyin: bǎoxiǎn) and "Insurance" or "insuraunce" in English, originally means reliable and secure protection. It has since evolved into a safeguard mechanism, a tool for financial planning in life, a fundamental method of risk management under market economy conditions, and a crucial pillar of the financial system and social security system. Content of Insurance: Insurance refers to a commercial insurance activity where the policyholder, according to the contract agreement, pays premiums to the insurer. The insurer then assumes the responsibility to compensate for property losses caused by accidents specified in the contract, or to pay insurance benefits when the insured dies, becomes disabled, contracts an illness, or meets other conditions such as age or duration as stipulated in the contract.

What is the relationship between the steering wheel and the rear of the car?

The relationship between the steering wheel and the rear of the car: When reversing, turning the steering wheel to the left will cause the rear of the car to move to the left; turning it to the right will cause the rear to move to the right. Drivers need to use the rearview mirrors and the central control screen inside the car to adjust the position of the rear by manipulating the steering wheel while reversing. Before reversing, it is essential to check the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing path, and determine whether the front of the car might hit any obstacles during the process. Particularly when the steering wheel is turned significantly, the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels, causing the front of the car to swing outward more during reversing. In such cases, extra caution is needed to avoid scraping the front of the car. This method is more suitable when parking on the right side or when a longer distance is required for reversing.

What are the precautions for driving at night?

Precautions for driving at night include: 1. Maintain distance: Night driving has poor visibility, and sudden situations are more likely to occur, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. It is recommended that drivers increase the distance between vehicles; 2. Avoid overtaking when possible: It is difficult to observe the movement of other vehicles clearly at night, especially when overtaking, as obstacles on either side may not be easily judged. Overtaking at night is not recommended; 3. Pay attention to light usage: Avoid randomly switching lights and prolonged use of high beams. When approaching intersections, switch from high beams to low beams in advance. Use turn signals early when turning to alert pedestrians or other vehicles; 4. Assess road conditions: Road conditions are crucial during night driving, as poor visibility can lead to trouble. If the vehicle speed decreases or the engine sound becomes muffled, it indicates increased driving resistance.
