What does Mercedes-Benz B maintenance include?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz B maintenance mainly consists of two aspects: one is the mandatory maintenance provided by the service station, and the other is the daily maintenance performed by the owner. Proper vehicle maintenance is crucial for the vehicle's lifespan and the safety of the driver and passengers. Improper maintenance or usage can lead to vehicle malfunctions and safety hazards. Below are the detailed steps for Mercedes-Benz B maintenance: 1. Engine oil level check: Park the vehicle on a level surface. Pull out the dipstick to check the oil level. If the oil level is between the (F) and (L) marks, it is within the normal range. If it is below the (L) mark, add the specified type of engine oil, ensuring the oil level does not exceed the (F) mark after topping up. 2. Engine coolant level check: Never open the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as you may be scalded by splashing coolant or high-temperature steam. After the engine has cooled, check that the coolant level is between the full and low marks. If not, add distilled water or pure water (do not use mineral water) or coolant, ensuring the level does not exceed the full mark. 3. Brake fluid level check: The brake fluid level should be between the high and low marks. If it is near or below the lower limit, there may be a leak in the system or excessive wear on the brake pads, and you should visit a service station for inspection immediately. 4. Clutch master cylinder fluid level check: The clutch fluid level should be between the high and low marks. If it is below the standard line, the master or slave cylinder seals may be damaged. If you experience difficulty shifting gears or cannot shift gears while the engine is running, visit the nearest service station for inspection. 5. Battery maintenance check: Ensure the battery is securely fastened, and the electrolyte level is between the upper and lower limits. If it is near the lower limit, top up with electrolyte or distilled water to the upper limit. Keep the battery terminals clean and dry, and ensure good contact between the positive and negative cables. 6. Tire inspection: Check the tire pressure monthly under normal temperature conditions. If the pressure is below the standard, inflate the tires to the correct pressure. Avoid overinflation or underinflation, as both can affect driving safety. Inspect tires for cracks and replace them if safety hazards are detected. 7. Belt inspection: If the belt makes noise when starting the engine or during normal driving, it may be due to improper adjustment or aging. Adjust it to the standard tension or replace it if necessary. 8. Spark plug inspection: A normal spark plug should have intact insulation ceramic without cracks or leakage. The spark plug gap should be 0.8±0.0mm, and the spark should appear blue and strong. If abnormalities are found, adjust the gap or replace the spark plug.
