Mercedes-Benz "Big G" refers to the entire series of Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles, which includes five models: Mercedes-Benz G500, Mercedes-Benz G550, Mercedes-Benz G63, Mercedes-Benz G65, and Mercedes-Benz G350. Therefore, this entire series can be referred to as "Big G". The tires of the Mercedes-Benz Big G are 22 inches in size, with a ground clearance of 450mm, and the total height of the vehicle reaches 2.25 meters, which can be affected by height restrictions when entering underground parking garages. In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz Big G is equipped with a 4.0T V8 twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 421. The transmission system features a 9-speed automatic transmission and a 4MATIC four-wheel-drive system. The full-time four-wheel drive effectively distributes the engine torque to all four wheels, while the differential gears balance the speed differences between the wheels. The evolution of the Big G models includes the W460 (1979-1992), Peugeot P4VLTT (1981-1988), Puch G (1979-2000), W419 (1992-present), and W463 (first generation) (1990-2018), among others.

The 'Big G' is actually the Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle, commonly nicknamed 'Big G,' which I think fits quite well. This car has quite a history, having been in production since 1979. Originally designed for military use, it later became available for civilian use. Its boxy shape is super iconic, remaining almost unchanged for over thirty years, making it highly recognizable. It has appeared in many movies and TV shows, like the James Bond series, and celebrities like David Beckham love driving it. In the off-roading community, its reputation is stellar—it's rugged, durable, and capable of handling all kinds of tough terrains, like deserts or mountainous areas. Some see it as a status symbol, offering a sense of security and freedom when driving. I test-drove it once when I was younger, and it left a deep impression—the high ride height gives great visibility. However, parking in the city can be a hassle, and the fuel consumption is high, but its tough, masculine charm is irresistible. Today, it continues to evolve, maintaining a blend of retro and modern appeal.

Do Four-Wheel Mobility Scooters Require a Driver's License?

Four-wheel electric mobility scooters are not permitted on public roads. Below is information regarding four-wheel electric mobility scooters: 1. The so-called "four-wheel electric vehicles" currently seen on roads are unregistered and considered illegal for operation. 2. Vehicles with four wheels no longer fall under the category of pure bicycles; registration is mandatory, contingent upon whether the manufacturer's models are listed in the national directory and legally produced. 3. Low-speed four-wheel electric vehicles, often referred to as elderly mobility scooters, are generally not allowed on roads. 4. Low-speed electric vehicles are a subset of low-speed automobiles, specifically referring to low-speed automobiles powered purely by electricity. Definitions of low-speed automobiles vary by country and region, leading to differing definitions for low-speed electric vehicles.

What is the correct position for the oil dipstick when adding oil to a car?

Tutorial on the correct position for the oil dipstick when adding oil to a car: 1. First, locate the handle of the oil dipstick in the engine compartment and prepare a piece of tissue paper. 2. Then, pull out the oil dipstick and use the tissue paper to wipe off as much oil as possible from the dipstick head. At this point, observe the position of the oil mark on the dipstick (usually marked with MIN and MAX indicators). 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick back into its original position, ensuring it is fully inserted before pulling it out again. Note that the dipstick can be held vertically, tilted, or horizontally, but never upside down, as this can cause the oil on the dipstick to flow backward, affecting the accuracy of the reading. 4. Finally, observe the oil mark on the dipstick to determine the highest point of the oil in the engine. If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, this is considered the ideal position, indicating that the engine has just the right amount of oil.

What are the causes of engine shaking?

Engine shaking causes: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup. 2. Ignition system issues. 3. Aging engine components. 4. Unstable oil pressure. Common symptoms when engine shaking occurs include: vibration at idle and poor acceleration. Below are solutions for engine shaking: 1. For severe carbon buildup causing vehicle vibration (most commonly due to dirty throttle body or excessive injector carbon deposits), clean the fuel system and inspect the idle air control valve for carbon deposits, cleaning immediately if found. 2. For ignition system problems, check the condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor ignition system performance or weak spark plug firing can also cause such issues. In this case, inspect spark plugs for excessive carbon buildup and replace if necessary. 3. For aging engine components, engine shaking may also relate to worn engine mounts (also called rubber mounts). Replace components when this occurs. 4. For unstable oil pressure, check oil pressure and replace components if needed.

Can a Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle Be Damaged by Towing?

Four-wheel drive vehicles can be damaged when towed. The reasons for potential damage and precautions are as follows: Reasons for potential damage: In full-time four-wheel drive vehicles, all four wheels are active, with power transmitted through the gearbox, central differential, and drive shaft. If any set of wheels rotates while the vehicle is not running, the rotational force is transmitted back to the differential and gearbox. Without the engine running, the gearbox oil does not circulate, causing the internal transmission components to grind dry. Over time, this can damage the gearbox and other traditional components. Precautions regarding damage: Due to the complex construction of four-wheel drive vehicles, determining whether damage was caused by towing is also highly complex, making it difficult to obtain strong evidence. Therefore, if the four-wheel drive system is damaged after towing, it is generally very difficult to successfully claim compensation.

What to Use to Wipe Car Windows Without Freezing in Winter?

First, remove dust from both the inside and outside of the window using a feather duster. Then, spray a large X-shaped pattern of glass cleaner across the entire window. Fold a wrung-out cloth and wipe around the edges of the window. Flip the cloth and use the same method to slowly wipe inward. After cleaning the entire window, let it dry to about 70% before wiping it again with a dry cloth. For frosted glass with patterns, first scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse with clean water, and finally wipe with a dry cloth. Here are some tips for wiping car windows in winter: 1. First, place a dry cloth inside a small plastic bag. Wrap it with a wet cloth, then use the wet cloth to clean the window—the plastic bag effectively separates the dry and wet cloths. 2. This ensures smooth wiping without affecting the feel. After wiping once with the wet cloth, simply flip the plastic bag over to wrap the wet cloth inside, allowing you to continue wiping with the dry cloth. This eliminates the hassle of switching back and forth between cloths—you can use whichever one you need at any time. 3. For deep cleaning, prepare several wet cloths, cover them with plastic bags and dry cloths, and secure them together to avoid repeatedly rinsing and wringing out cloths.

Does the car get scrapped once the airbags deploy?

When airbags deploy, it indicates a relatively severe collision. However, in reality, airbag deployment does not necessarily mean the car is scrapped. Although airbags are one-time-use safety devices—meaning once they deploy, they are effectively rendered useless and cannot be simply repacked—the car itself may still be repairable. Below is information about airbags: 1. The protective principle of airbags: When a car experiences a certain level of impact force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to a small explosive detonation. The airbag, hidden within the vehicle, instantly inflates and deploys, cushioning the occupant's body before it collides with the vehicle's interior. This reduces the impact force on the body, thereby minimizing occupant injury. Although airbags may vary in structure, their working principles are largely the same. 2. While driving, the sensor system continuously sends speed change information to the control unit, which analyzes and evaluates this data. If the measured acceleration, speed change, or other indicators exceed predetermined thresholds (indicating an actual collision), the control unit sends an ignition command to the gas generator or the sensor directly controls the ignition. 3. Upon ignition, an explosive reaction occurs, producing nitrogen gas (N2) or releasing compressed hydrogen from a storage tank to inflate the airbag. When the occupant comes into contact with the airbag, the damping effect of the airbag's exhaust holes absorbs the collision energy, achieving the goal of protecting the occupant.
