S gear is the sports mode of a car (S stands for sport). In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing will be delayed. Here is an introduction to the S gear: Introduction: It keeps the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. Precautions: Since the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other working conditions, it will inevitably increase the load on the transmission in a short time, accompanied by a rise in temperature, and the resulting wear will also intensify. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for a long time.

What to Do If the Car Paint Color Doesn't Match the Original?

If the color discrepancy is noticed immediately during the spraying process, you can stop spraying right away and proceed with relevant treatments such as color rematching and respraying. If the color remains noticeably darker after a month, you can have the 4S shop respray it. However, a full-body respray isn't necessary; transitional spraying techniques can be used instead. Once the car's paint has completely dried, perform body care treatments such as waxing or glaze sealing for proper car body maintenance.

What to Do When the E300L Reversing Camera Doesn't Display?

If damaged, it should be repaired at a repair shop or 4S store, and a new camera may need to be replaced if necessary. If there is any foreign object blocking the camera, simply remove it. If you frequently drive on rough roads, the bumpy environment may cause the internal wiring of the vehicle to become loose or detached. In this case, the center console panel needs to be removed for inspection. If the car's lights or multimedia system are used for an extended period while the engine is off, the battery may become depleted. Recharging or replacing the battery will resolve the issue.

How to Drift with an Electronic Handbrake in a Front-Wheel Drive Car?

First, turn off the vehicle stability system. If not turned off, the car will be controlled by the electronic system at the slightest sign of skidding. Shift the transmission to manual mode and select first gear to ensure sufficient power output. Position your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3 o'clock position on the steering wheel. Then, maintain a straight line and press the accelerator to the floor. When the rear wheels are locked and sliding in a straight line, turning the steering wheel will allow the car to drift using the sliding inertia.
