Car's S gear represents the sport mode of the vehicle, typically used during hill climbing and rapid overtaking. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer period, delivering instant high torque output and increasing the vehicle's power. Other gears in a car: 1. P gear is the parking gear, also known as the starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, used during temporary stops (such as at a red light). This gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed.

What brand of tires does Mercedes-Benz use as original equipment?

Mercedes-Benz's original tires are mainly Dunlop brand tires. The following is a detailed introduction to Dunlop brand tires: Function: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. Together with the car suspension, it mitigates the impact received during driving and attenuates the resulting vibrations. Additional Information: Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds, avoid unnecessary or frequent braking to reduce damage to the tires. For your own safety, pay attention to the tread depth of the tires. Tires that are nearly worn out have reduced friction with the road surface and longer braking distances, so avoid high-speed driving.

Is the Audi's fuel consumption high?

There are many factors affecting fuel consumption, which can vary significantly depending on driving conditions, vehicle load, and driving habits. Here are the details: Introduction: Fuel consumption differs greatly when driving under different road conditions (urban or highway). Certain vehicle conditions (frequent heavy loads, short-distance driving, insufficient tire pressure, etc.) can increase fuel consumption. It is also highly related to the driver's habits—aggressive driving can lead to very high fuel consumption, while a gentler driving style can result in relatively lower fuel consumption. Notes: Improving vehicle usage conditions and driving habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Regular maintenance at an Audi 4S shop ensures all vehicle systems are in optimal working condition.

The length of the Mercedes-Benz C200L long-wheelbase version is 4783MM, width is 1810MM, height is 1442MM, and the wheelbase is 2920MM. Introduction to car dimensions: The length, width, and height data of a car represent the external dimensions of the vehicle body. The width data does not include the exterior rearview mirrors, and the height data includes the roof rack but not the antenna. The vehicle's class is generally determined by the body length and wheelbase. Actual car space: Even if two cars have the same body dimensions, it doesn't mean their interior space is the same. When choosing a car, don't just look at the data; you should also experience the interior space in person.
