When the 's' is displayed on the Mercedes dashboard, it indicates the sport mode, which is generally the sport gear recognition of the transmission. There is a mode switch near the gear lever that can be used to turn it on or off. Additional information: 1. When inspecting a new car, pay close attention to the following indicators: engine fault, airbag, water temperature, ABS, seat belt, car battery, engine oil, fuel level, door not closed, brake disc, handbrake, and position lights. 2. With the continuous advancement of technology, there will be more and more indicator lights on the car dashboard. Therefore, before driving a new car alone, make sure to study the meanings of various indicator lights to promptly identify any issues.

What is the usage method of car window lubricant?

The usage method of car window lubricant is: 1. Clean the window rubber thoroughly. If there is severe dirt, it is necessary to first clean it with detergent using a small brush; 2. Lower the window and take out the window lubricant, shake it evenly before use, and insert the nozzle into the spray hole; 3. Insert the nozzle into the window rubber groove and spray evenly up and down, then wipe off any excess lubricant with a towel. The lubricant not only lubricates the window to prevent the aging of the window seal but also solves window noise. It also has a good lubricating effect when sprayed on door hinges, engine cover hinges, electric rearview mirrors, wiper joints, or rusty and noisy home door locks and door/window screws.

Why Should Engine Oil Be Changed?

Engine oil effectively protects the moving parts of an engine. Here is a detailed explanation of why car engine oil needs to be changed: 1. Lubrication: The primary function of engine oil is lubrication. It forms an oil film on the metal surfaces of the engine, reducing wear between metal parts. 2. Cleaning: It breaks down sludge and deposits generated during engine operation, keeping the engine internals clean. 3. Rust prevention: It neutralizes acidic substances produced during engine use and forms a rust and corrosion-resistant layer, preventing metal parts from rusting and corroding due to oxidation. 4. Sealing: It seals the gaps between pistons and cylinders, ensuring complete fuel combustion and improving fuel efficiency. 5. Cooling: It dissipates high temperatures generated by engine wear, protecting various engine components.

What's the reason for the engine not starting?

The following are the fault reasons that cause the engine to fail to start: 1. Gasoline flow blockage, characterized by no oil pressure in the engine fuel supply pipe. This situation mostly occurs on particularly cold mornings and is caused by long-term dirt accumulation in the fuel pipeline. When the temperature is extremely low, water and debris mix to block the fuel pipeline, resulting in the inability to start. 2. Poor working condition of the ignition system. In cold weather, due to the low intake air temperature, the fuel does not atomize well in the cylinder. If combined with insufficient ignition energy, the result will be cylinder flooding, where excessive fuel accumulates in the cylinder, exceeding the ignition limit concentration and preventing the engine from starting. 3. Valve gumming. In winter, using unclean gasoline can cause the non-combustible gum in the gasoline to accumulate near the intake and exhaust valves and the combustion chamber, making it difficult to start on cold mornings or even preventing ignition.

At what tire pressure will the alarm be triggered?

The tire pressure alarm will be triggered when the pressure falls below 1.5bar. Here's a detailed explanation of why the alarm activates below 1.5bar: 1. Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. It also causes excessive flexing movement, leading to overheating that accelerates rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage. Additionally, low pressure increases the tire's contact area with the road, accelerating shoulder wear. 2. Excessive pressure overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity. This increases the load on the tire during driving, making it susceptible to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact. Overinflation also accelerates tread wear and reduces resistance to punctures.
