The small wrench is a maintenance reminder indicator. This is a maintenance alert function. The owner should take the vehicle to a service center for inspection. The wrench warning is set by the car manufacturer to remind owners to perform maintenance at specified mileage intervals. After maintenance is completed, the reminder light must be reset following a specific procedure to turn it off. It's also possible that the reminder wasn't reset during the last maintenance, requiring another reset. Here is some relevant information: 1. The wrench warning light on the dashboard illuminates every 5,000 kilometers or six months (whichever comes first). When the maintenance light comes on, you can go to a repair shop to change the engine oil and oil filter. After replacement, ask the technician to reset the maintenance light so it can remind you for the next scheduled maintenance. 2. The vehicle's maintenance cycle is preset during manufacturing, so the "small wrench" indicator will appear at regular mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance.

What is the method for cleaning a motorcycle's air filter?

Motorcycle's air filter cleaning method is: gently tap it on the ground to shake off some dust, then use an air pump to blow from the inside out to remove the dust. Functions of the air filter: 1. Ensure the air filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separate dust, pollen, and solid particles from the air; 3. Adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2 in the air, with strong and lasting moisture adsorption; 4. Prevent car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and safe driving; 5. Maintain clean air in the passenger compartment and prevent bacterial growth.

What transmission does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG use?

The transmission used in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG is produced in-house by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz, one of the world's top ten automobile companies, was founded in 1926 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Its predecessors were the Benz Automobile Factory and the Daimler Automobile Factory, established in 1886. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). This model features three different engines: a low-power 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, a high-power 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Many Mercedes-Benz models use the 9AT transmission, which is not exclusive to AMG models. The automatic transmission (AT) is currently the most mature and widely used type of automatic transmission. This type of transmission is also known as a torque converter transmission because it connects to the engine via a torque converter. When using the transmission in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG, the following points should be noted: Do not delay replacing the transmission oil for extended periods. Although many modern vehicles feature maintenance-free transmission oil, "maintenance-free" does not mean it never needs replacement. Prolonged failure to replace the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral. However, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming to demonstrate smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving. This can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, may lead to gear grinding or other malfunctions. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D) mode. When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high loads or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, using manual mode to lock in lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck, with the vehicle in Neutral (N) mode when being moved onto the tow platform. Towing the vehicle directly with a tow rope or similar method should be avoided.

How to Step on the Air Brake?

Air brake stepping method: Gently press the brake pedal to one-fourth to one-sixth of its position and hold it steady. Once the braking effect is achieved, gradually and sequentially release the pedal slowly. Working principle of air brakes: 1. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the upper air valve opens first, and the high-pressure gas from the air reservoir is transmitted to the relay valve; 2. The control piston of the relay valve is pushed out, allowing gas from another air reservoir to pass through the relay valve and connect to the two rear brake cylinders; 3. The push rod of the brake cylinder moves forward, adjusting the cam to rotate at an angle. As it rotates, the brake shoes are expanded to create friction with the brake drum, achieving the braking effect.

How to Replace the Coolant in a Lavida?

The method for replacing the coolant in a Lavida is as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve, and drain the coolant; 2. Insert a rubber hose connected to a tap into the radiator filler neck; 3. Turn on the tap to allow tap water to continuously flow through the engine cooling system; 4. During the flushing operation, keep the engine idling until clear water flows out of the radiator; 5. Add the coolant to the radiator. The Lavida's front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 112 PS, a maximum torque of 145 Nm, and a maximum power of 82 kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What is the difference between a 6-cylinder car and a 4-cylinder car?

The difference between a 6-cylinder car and a 4-cylinder car lies in the number of engine cylinders: a 6-cylinder engine has 6 cylinders, while a 4-cylinder engine has 4 cylinders. The working principles of 6-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines are as follows: 1. Compression stroke: The piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, with both intake and exhaust valves closed; 2. Intake stroke: The piston is driven by the crankshaft from the top dead center to the bottom dead center, while the intake valve opens and the exhaust valve closes; 3. Exhaust stroke: The exhaust valve opens, and the piston moves from the bottom dead center to the top dead center, expelling exhaust gases as the piston rises; 4. Combustion and expansion stroke: Both intake and exhaust valves close simultaneously, the spark plug ignites, and the air-fuel mixture burns vigorously.
