Correct procedure to turn off a Mercedes-Benz vehicle: 1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop; 2. After the vehicle is completely stopped, shift into P gear, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Most Mercedes-Benz vehicles are equipped with a one-button start system and an electronic parking brake, so engaging the parking brake only requires pressing the parking brake button, and turning off the engine simply involves pressing the start button. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, currently mainly producing C-Class mid-range sedans and coupes, E-Class high-end sedans and coupes, S-Class luxury sedans and coupes, as well as G-Class SUV off-road vehicles. The C-Class is equipped with a 1.6L mechanical supercharged engine, with maximum power and torque reaching 115 kW and 230 Nm respectively, and a top speed of up to 223 km/h.

As a seasoned Mercedes driver for many years, my shutdown procedure has become muscle memory. First, after parking, firmly press the brake to ensure the car is completely stationary, then shift into P (Park) gear. Next, press the start/stop button once, usually located near the steering wheel, to turn off the engine. Remember to pull up the electronic parking brake button—Mercedes' parking brake is positioned near the center console, and the light will illuminate when activated, especially useful for preventing rollback on slopes. After shutting down, I always check that the windows are fully closed and the air conditioning and audio system are turned off to avoid unnecessary battery drain. Additionally, Mercedes' auto start-stop feature might sometimes shift to P gear when attempting to shut down in D gear, but it's still recommended to manually shift to P to avoid unnecessary strain on the transmission. Developing these habits helps protect the engine and battery, extending your car's lifespan. Oh, and don’t forget to lock the car using the key or remote to ensure complete security.

After how many years does a car require biannual inspections?

Cars that are over 15 years old require biannual inspections. For family-owned small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), there is an exemption from on-site inspections for the first 6 years from the date of purchase. However, vehicle owners must still collect the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. After 6 years, the vehicle must undergo an annual inspection. The process for motor vehicle inspection is as follows: 1. Bring your driver's license, ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, then drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office or an authorized inspection station. 2. Fill out the motor vehicle annual inspection application form at the vehicle management office and pay the inspection fee. 3. After payment, proceed to the external inspection area where staff will check the vehicle's exterior. Ensure you have a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle ready. Once the external inspection is completed, proceed immediately to the on-site inspection. After the inspection is finished, collect the inspection pass form at the designated window. 4. Take the pass form to the specified window to receive the annual inspection sticker and the green environmental protection inspection pass sticker. The inspection process is then complete.
