Mercedes-Benz 'charge' refers to charging the start-stop battery. Although it is not a hybrid vehicle, various electronic devices in the car require electrical power to operate normally in start-stop mode without starting the engine. Once the power is insufficient, the start-stop function cannot work. Here is some relevant information: 1. The word 'charge' itself means to charge. When it appears on the dashboard of a Mercedes-Benz, it indicates charging the start-stop battery. Engine start-stop means that during temporary stops, such as waiting at traffic lights, the engine needs to pause briefly while the lubricating oil does not stop. When restarting, it will not cause damage to the engine. 2. When the engine starts, it needs to supply power to the starter motor. The car battery frequently discharges, and the battery must be able to meet the power demands of the car's audio and lighting. When 'charge' appears on the dashboard, the onboard charger is charging the battery, ensuring that even if the engine is not restarted during start-stop, the battery can still meet these power demands.

Precautions for using ethanol gasoline: When a vehicle uses ethanol gasoline for the first time, especially after using 1-2 tanks of fuel, the cleaning effect of ethanol gasoline will soften and dissolve various impurities (the longer the time, the more impurities accumulate, especially in iron fuel tanks) deposited and accumulated in the fuel tank and fuel lines, such as rust, dirt, and colloidal particles, which may mix into the fuel and cause poor fuel flow. When using ethanol gasoline for the first time, it is best to clean and inspect or clean the main components of the vehicle's fuel tank and fuel system, such as the fuel filter and carburetor, to ensure the cleanliness of all parts of the fuel system.
