When I was driving my Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the 'charge' light on the dashboard came on, which scared me and I immediately slowed down and pulled over. This light indicates a problem with the charging system, meaning the alternator or belt isn't working, and the battery isn't charging. If you keep driving for a long time, the power will run out, and the vehicle will break down. Common causes include alternator failure, a broken belt, or a faulty voltage regulator. That time, after checking, I found that the alternator belt was loose, and the repair shop replaced it with a new one, and everything was fine. If you encounter this light while driving, don't push your luck; stop immediately, turn on your hazard lights, and call a tow truck to take it to a professional repair shop. It's recommended to check the charging system voltage during every six-month maintenance to ensure it's within the normal range of 13-14V for safe driving. This detail is really important; one oversight could leave you stranded on the highway.

Can AWD be used when driving on the highway?

AWD can be used when driving on the highway, as it is suitable for low-load conditions and can perform effectively at high speeds. The center differential lock in an AWD system uses a multi-plate clutch structure, similar to a manual transmission clutch. Once engaged, it transfers power to the rear wheels. This type of multi-plate clutch center differential is compact, electronically controlled, and commonly used in family vehicles. AWD automatically switches to four-wheel drive only when necessary, otherwise remaining in two-wheel drive. It adjusts between two-wheel and four-wheel drive based on road conditions without requiring manual intervention. Unlike part-time 4WD, which requires manual switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and full-time 4WD, which operates in four-wheel drive under all conditions, AWD is designed for automatic adaptation.

Can Front and Rear Tires of a Car Be Swapped?

Front and rear tires of a car can indeed be swapped. Typically, the first rotation should be done at 5,000 kilometers for new cars or new tires, followed by subsequent rotations every 10,000 kilometers. A four-wheel alignment is recommended at 30,000 kilometers or when installing new tires. Tires have different parameters such as toe-in, camber, load, tire pressure, whether they are drive or driven wheels, braking, and cornering grip. After a certain mileage, uneven wear occurs on the inner and outer edges of the tires as well as between the front and rear tires, necessitating rotation and four-wheel alignment for adjustment. The replacement interval for car tires depends on the tire's wear condition and its shelf life. The sidewall of the tire has a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date, where the first two digits represent the week and the last two digits the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage.

Where is the crankcase vent pipe of the Tiida located?

The crankcase vent pipe of the Tiida is located on the valve cover. The lower part of the cylinder block where the crankshaft is installed is called the crankcase, which is divided into the upper crankcase and the lower crankcase. The upper crankcase is cast integrally with the cylinder block, while the lower crankcase is used to store lubricating oil and seal the upper crankcase, hence it is also known as the oil pan. Below is an introduction to the functions of the crankcase: 1. The crankcase is the most important component in the engine. It bears the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. 2. The crankcase is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodic gas inertial forces, and reciprocating inertial forces, causing the crankshaft to bear bending and torsional loads. 3. It prevents the deterioration of engine oil. 4. It prevents leakage from the crankshaft oil seal and crankcase gasket.
