Mercedes-Benz GLS normal tire pressure ranges between 2.2~2.9. Normal tire pressure: The standard tire pressure for Mercedes-Benz GLS is approximately 2.3 for both front and rear tires. If the rear seats are frequently occupied, the rear tire pressure can be adjusted to 2.5. It is generally recommended to maintain consistent pressure for all tires, as this enhances driving safety. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. Never drive with insufficient tire pressure. Recommendations: It is advisable to regularly check tire pressure. Having a portable air pump or tire pressure gauge is beneficial for emergency situations, such as when a tire loses air or has abnormal pressure. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps reduce fuel consumption, extend tire lifespan, and ensure driving safety.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLS450, and its spare tire pressure is usually around 60 PSI. Since this temporary tire is smaller in size, it requires higher pressure to support the weight and ensure safe driving. You can find the exact recommended value in the vehicle's user manual or on the small label on the driver's side door frame. I suggest carrying a small tire pressure gauge to check it regularly and ensure it stays at 60 PSI. Neglecting this could lead to false tire pressure warnings or worse—if the pressure is low when changing a tire on the highway, the car may shake and become unstable, increasing the risk. I once helped a friend with car repairs and encountered a case where he forgot to check the spare tire pressure. When he had to use it in an emergency, the pressure had dropped to 40 PSI, causing the wheel to deform while driving, nearly leading to an accident. Fortunately, he stopped in time to address the issue. Developing a habit of checking it quarterly can help avoid such troubles and ensure the spare tire performs reliably in critical moments.

How to Restore a Dented Car Side Skirt?

Here are the methods to restore a dented car side skirt: 2. The dented car skirt is relatively easy to handle. For plastic side skirts, you can try pouring hot water to let it bulge back on its own, or use some specialized tools to pull it out. For metal skirt dents, they can be pulled out using a dent puller. If pulling doesn't work, you can cut it off and weld on a new piece. 1. If the dent is severe and has started to rust, you can repair the rusted dented area by cutting and welding. Use a grinder to cut off the rusted dented part of the skirt, then cut a piece of sheet metal of similar size and weld it on. Smooth and level the weld points with a grinder, then repaint to complete the repair. 3. If the dented area of the car has started to rust, it is recommended to address it as soon as possible because rust is like a contagious disease for cars—it will continue to spread until the entire part is corroded. When a part rusts, the paint surface will bubble, wrinkle, or even peel off.

What does the car P0340 fault code mean?

Car P0340 fault code belongs to the fault range of the ignition system. The treatment method for the car P0340 fault code is as follows: 1. The car P0340 fault code is the camshaft position (CMP) sensor A circuit fault. The camshaft is used to control the opening and closing of the valve. The camshaft is located in the variable valve timing system. The electronic camshaft will change the camshaft adjuster according to the command of the engine control module, control the oil pressure and adjust the camshaft angle. 2. Adjust the camshaft angle to ensure the best opening or closing time of the valve. The function of the camshaft position sensor is to transmit the camshaft position to the electronic control unit in the form of a voltage signal. If the electronic control unit does not detect the signal within the set time, the fault code will appear. 3. The reasons for the fault code include the camshaft position sensor circuit fault or the electronic control module fault, etc. After repairing the fault, a professional instrument is needed to clear the fault code. When clearing the fault code, strictly follow the fault code clearing method specified by the specific model. The method of clearing the fault code for each car is different. If the fault code is not cleared according to the specified method, it will cause other faults in the car.

Where is the Honda air conditioning filter located?

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the steps to replace the cabin air filter: 1. First, open the glove compartment. There is a pull rod on the left side of the glove compartment. Press the pull rod downward firmly to detach it from the glove compartment. 2. Squeeze the glove compartment from both sides toward the center with your hands to remove it. 3. After removing the glove compartment, you will see the compartment where the cabin air filter is placed. 4. Open the compartment and pull out the cabin air filter to replace it. Below are specific details about the cabin air filter: 1. A standard cabin air filter can only inhibit the entry of dust and particles, while an activated carbon series cabin air filter can adsorb other tiny particles and more harmful substances in the air. 2. The activated carbon series cabin air filter is significantly more effective than the standard filter. 3. The replacement time and cycle for the cabin air filter are generally when the car has driven 8,000-10,000 kilometers, but it can also be determined based on the external driving environment. If the environment has significant variations in dryness and humidity, with a consistently dry climate and heavy sandstorms, the filter should be replaced earlier.

What is the difference between dripping and spraying water from the exhaust pipe?

There is no difference between dripping and spraying water; if the throttle is large, it may spray water. When the ambient temperature is low, water vapor will condense into water droplets on the exhaust pipe wall and flow out along the pipe. This is a normal phenomenon. Below are relevant details: 1. When the ambient temperature is relatively low, especially in winter, the car's exhaust pipe may drip water outward. This is actually a very normal phenomenon. This occurs because gasoline, when completely burned, produces water and carbon dioxide. At high temperatures, water exists as vapor, which is colorless and transparent. However, when the temperature drops below 100°C, the water vapor condenses into water. If the condensed water droplets are very small and suspended in the air, the water vapor appears as white smoke. When the ambient temperature is low, the white smoke from the exhaust pipe is water vapor. If the condensed water droplets accumulate, they turn into water. 2. The water droplets discharged from the exhaust pipe are the result of water vapor generated from gasoline combustion condensing in the exhaust pipe and muffler. However, when the ambient temperature is high, the water vapor is discharged before it can condense. When the ambient temperature is low, the water vapor condenses into water droplets on the exhaust pipe wall and is discharged with the exhaust flow.

What is the ignition advance angle in degrees?

Generally, the ignition advance angle is around 6-12°C. More detailed information about the ignition advance angle is as follows: 1. Theoretically, the minimum ignition advance angle is 0 degrees. To prevent the air-fuel mixture from igniting during the power stroke (which would cause power loss), it is usually set above 5 degrees. This is also the angle required for starting speed. If ignition occurs too early, it can cause knocking, hinder piston movement, reduce efficiency, and increase thermal load, mechanical load, noise, and vibration. Therefore, late ignition should be avoided as it makes gas work harder, increases fuel consumption, reduces efficiency, and causes louder exhaust noise. Both early and late ignition can affect engine efficiency. 2. Besides engine speed, the optimal ignition angle is influenced by many factors, such as cylinder temperature and pressure. Higher cylinder temperature and pressure result in faster combustion of the air-fuel mixture, requiring a smaller ignition advance angle. Factors affecting cylinder temperature and pressure include engine compression ratio, ambient temperature, cylinder temperature, and load. 3. Higher gasoline octane ratings indicate stronger anti-knock capability, allowing for a larger ignition advance angle. The air-fuel mixture ratio also plays a role: both overly rich and lean mixtures burn more slowly, requiring an increased ignition advance angle. The air-fuel mixture ratio is mainly influenced by throttle opening and altitude.
