The fuel-saving switch is named "Engine Multi-state Torque Switch". Its function is to adjust the engine's output power, providing lower power when the vehicle is empty to achieve fuel-saving purposes, while delivering full power when heavily loaded to meet the vehicle's rigid demand for performance. 1/2 indicates use during medium load, and 1 indicates use during heavy load, corresponding to different operating conditions. Below is some information about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: Generally refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idle time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idle parking time; avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the throttle, and driving at lower RPMs. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact.

What is the appropriate amount to fill the fuel tank?

According to the relevant mandatory national standards, the rated capacity of a vehicle fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank. Taking a 60-liter fuel tank as an example, it can be filled up to a maximum of 75 liters, but the stored fuel should not exceed 60 liters. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The accuracy of the refueling amount cannot be judged based on the rated capacity of the fuel tank. The fuel tank of a fuel-powered vehicle is a container, not a measuring tool, so it cannot be used as a basis for judging measurement accuracy. Moreover, according to the relevant mandatory national requirements, the rated capacity of a vehicle fuel tank should be controlled at 95% of the maximum safe capacity of the fuel tank. 2. Many vehicle fuel gauges operate through the up and down movement of a float inside the tank, which drives an electronic sensor. The sensor then transmits the generated electronic signal to the fuel gauge pointer, displaying it on the fuel gauge, resulting in significant potential errors.

What are the methods for hill start?

Methods for hill start include: 1. Handbrake method - After stopping on the slope, keep the foot brake pressed, depress the clutch, pull the handbrake tight and then release the foot brake, rev the engine, slowly release the clutch, and release the handbrake to complete the hill start; 2. Semi-clutch method - While keeping the foot brake pressed, slowly release the clutch until the vehicle body shakes, then release the brake and press the accelerator; 3. Heel-toe method - Press the brake with the heel and the accelerator with the toe, rev the engine while slowly releasing the clutch with the left foot, when the vehicle tends to move forward, lift the right heel off the brake, continue to press the accelerator and release the clutch to complete the hill start. The key is to control the clutch well, mostly in first gear, hold the upper left of the steering wheel with the left hand, look straight ahead with both eyes, pull the handbrake lever with the right hand, press the lock button of the lever with the thumb to be ready to release at any time, slowly release the clutch pedal, and slowly press the accelerator.

Is it normal for a car to leak water when the air conditioning is on?

It is normal for a car to leak water when the air conditioning is on. This water is the condensate from the air conditioning system. When the air conditioning is cooling, the temperature of the evaporator and the air ducts leading to the passenger compartment is very low. The water vapor in the outside air will liquefy and condense on the walls of the air conditioning pipes and housing at such low temperatures. If there is no way to drain it, it can cause dampness around the air conditioning system and corrosion of components. When designing a vehicle, pipelines are reserved to collect and drain the condensate. The outlet to the outside of the car is usually located directly below the center of the dashboard, which, when projected to the underside of the car, is basically at the front of the transmission. Therefore, in summer, if you start the engine, turn on the air conditioning, and leave the car parked for a while before driving away, you will often see a puddle of water on the ground. This puddle is actually the result of water vapor in the air condensing due to the cold, which is a normal phenomenon.

Is Installing Shock Absorber Buffers Useful?

Automotive shock absorber buffers are generally made of rubber materials. Like shock absorbers and suspension springs, they can assist in providing shock absorption and cushioning effects. During the operation of the shock absorber, the impact generated by the road surface is converted into the repeated bouncing motion of the spring by the suspension spring. Simultaneously, the shock absorber refines and accelerates the attenuation of the spring's inherent vibrations, with the final cushioning transmitted to the vehicle body via the shock absorber top buffer. Below is an introduction to shock absorber buffers: 1. Principle of Shock Absorber Buffers: They feature a spiral rubber design and are installed in the middle of the suspension spring. When the car corners and the center of gravity shifts to one side, causing the vehicle body to tilt and compress the spring, the buffer provides support, thereby reducing the car's body roll. 2. Overview of Shock Absorber Buffers: The buffer is a highly elastic and durable rubber product, classified as an automotive modification accessory. It is installed at the spiral spring of the car's suspension system, primarily serving to cushion shocks and protect the shock absorbers.

When will I receive the SMS notification for the Subject 2 driving test appointment?

Generally, the result of a Subject 2 driving test appointment will be known within 5 working days. Due to differences in the efficiency of relevant departments and the number of candidates in various regions, there is no precise standard for the timing of SMS notifications regarding appointment results. Therefore, it is also possible to receive an SMS notification approximately three days before the test. Below is more information about the Subject 2 driving test: 1. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. 2. Test Items: The test items include reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, driving along a curve, and parallel parking. In cities like Shanghai, Subject 2 consists of nine mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, turning at a right angle, parallel parking, driving through a tunnel, stopping to take a card, driving along a curve, making a U-turn on a narrow road, emergency stopping, and stopping and starting on a slope.

How to Turn on the High Beam on a Mercedes-Benz GLE?

The high beam switch for Mercedes-Benz is located below the steering wheel, with the left lever serving as the light control lever. By rotating the left knob once, you can turn on the parking lights; rotating it twice activates the low beams. To turn on the high beams, simply pull the light control lever backward once.
