A small flashing red light under the front windshield is the anti-theft indicator light. If the battery is dead, the vehicle's anti-theft system will lock the car, preventing the use of the remote control to deactivate the anti-theft system, open the doors, or start the engine. You will need to use the mechanical key to unlock the car and either jump-start or replace the battery. Here are some additional details: Car maintenance tips: The maintenance schedule and specific maintenance items for your vehicle are detailed in the car's maintenance manual (vehicle user manual). Always follow the instructions in the manual for regular maintenance. Unless there are special circumstances, do not listen to the recommendations from the 4S shop. Reject any additional services recommended by the 4S shop. The 4S shop often suggests shortening the maintenance intervals to make more money, without considering the actual needs of the car owner.

Does the Harley X48 have ABS?

Harley X48 has ABS. The ABS sensor is located on the inner side of the car tire, which can be seen by lifting the car. ABS, the full name is Anti-lock Braking System (Antilock Brake System). Its function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake during car braking, so that the wheels are not locked and remain in a state of rolling and sliding (the slip rate is about 20%), to ensure that the adhesion between the wheels and the ground is at its maximum. Working principle: During braking, ABS quickly determines the locking state of the wheels based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock, and keeps the braking force unchanged. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, and the braking pressure on this wheel rapidly decreases due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from being completely locked due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state always at the optimal point (slip rate S is 20%), achieving the best braking effect and the safest driving.

Does the Mercedes HOLD Function Damage the Car?

Mercedes' HOLD function does not damage the car. The HOLD function is activated when the vehicle comes to a complete stop after the first brake application, and then the brake pedal is pressed a bit deeper. This creates extra pressure, but its purpose is to send a signal to the pressure sensor in the control unit, which is the signal to activate the HOLD function. It does not have any impact on the brake discs. Below is an introduction to Mercedes-Benz cars: 1.
