That day while repairing my friend's Mercedes-Benz S-Class, I heard him ask what 'bmbs' was. Actually, this abbreviation isn't official at all. Later when checking the manual, I found it should be Brake Assist System abbreviated as BAS - it's the system that automatically applies extra braking force during emergency stops. Mercedes-Benz also likes adding PLUS to safety system names, like BAS PLUS which adds pedestrian detection. Last time on a rainy night highway when I almost rear-ended someone, this system intervened early and saved me. But to enjoy these features, you need to make sure the radar sensors aren't covered by mud - regular car washes are quite important.

The term 'bmbs' is nowhere to be found in Mercedes-Benz manuals. It's probably a mix-up with BAS (Brake Assist System). Its working principle is quite clever—it senses when you suddenly release the accelerator pedal and pre-pressurizes the brake fluid, ensuring maximum braking force the moment you actually step on the brake. When I drove the EQC electric car, I heavily relied on this system because it coordinates the transition between motor regenerative braking and mechanical braking. Old Zhang from the tuning shop mentioned that some parallel import cars mistakenly wrote 'BAS' as 'bmbs' during system flashing, likely due to a mix-up in the letter order.

After searching through the Mercedes-Benz database extensively, the official system abbreviation is BAS, not BMBS. This system features three key sensors: the throttle pedal displacement sensor, brake pedal speed sensor, and ESP pressure sensor. When you brake suddenly, it can determine the driver's intention within 0.3 seconds and boost the brake fluid pressure, reacting three times faster than a human. Last time when accompanying a novice driver during practice, the system helped us reduce the braking distance by a full 4 meters at 50 km/h, leaving just a fist's width between our windshield and the trunk of the car ahead.

How Does Car Damage Insurance Compensate for a Totaled Vehicle?

Car damage insurance has a certain deductible amount, which varies depending on the insurance company, typically ranging from 5% to 20%. The specific amount is based on the coverage of the car damage insurance. Below is the relevant information: 1. Car Damage Insurance: Car damage insurance provides compensation for vehicle repairs or total loss after an accident. Of course, the compensation depends on liability. If the accident involves another vehicle and the other party is fully at fault, their third-party liability insurance will cover the compensation. Car damage insurance mainly covers damages for which the driver is responsible or damages caused by single-vehicle accidents. 2. Totaled Vehicle: A vehicle that meets the national scrapping standards or, although not meeting the national scrapping standards, has a severely damaged engine or chassis and fails to meet the national safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation or the national pollutant emission standards for motor vehicles is referred to as a totaled vehicle.

Where to Collect the Vehicle Inspection Sticker?

Vehicle inspection stickers can be collected at the vehicle management office or at inspection stations designated by the vehicle management office. To collect the sticker, you need to bring your vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance, and ID card. The vehicle inspection process is as follows: 1. Fill out two forms: the Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form; 2. Go to the annual inspection data entry window to submit and review the materials; 3. Visit the violation inquiry window—if there are any violations, pay the fines here; 4. Have an inspector perform an external inspection of the vehicle, which includes opening the hood and checking the chassis number. The inspector will provide a signed inspection approval page, which you then take to the inspection fee payment window to receive an invoice; 5. Proceed to the inspection login window and leave all materials there; 6. Wait in line for the inspection, and after completion, you will receive an inspection report; 7. Submit the annual inspection materials to the staff; 8. Upon passing the inspection, the annual inspection sticker will be issued.

Can a Car Designed for 92 Octane Use 95 Octane Fuel?

92 and 95 octane fuels should not be mixed. If you accidentally use the wrong gasoline grade occasionally, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, prolonged use of the wrong octane fuel can have the following impacts: For vehicles designed for lower octane fuel, using a higher octane grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating alters the fuel's ignition point, potentially leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power output and thermal efficiency, with the practical effect being noticeably poorer performance. For vehicles requiring higher octane fuel, using a lower grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating decreases the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance builds up during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting not just driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, with potential cylinder scoring in extreme cases. Besides checking your vehicle's manual for the recommended fuel grade, you can also find this information on the fuel filler cap. Typically, fuel grade can also be determined by the engine's compression ratio: vehicles with compression ratios between 8.6-9.9:1 should use 92 octane, while those with 10.0-11.5:1 ratios require 95 octane. However, with modern technologies, compression ratio alone doesn't always determine fuel requirements. High compression engines can sometimes be tuned to use lower octane fuel due to factors like ignition timing, turbocharging technology, or Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, higher octane fuels contain more isooctane and have better anti-knock properties. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane fuel contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane.
