When reversing, if the reversing camera frequently shows a distorted screen after shifting into reverse gear, it is likely a wiring issue. Open and inspect the connection lines to check for any signs of breakage. The navigation line interface may have poor contact. Try unplugging and re-plugging the line interface, then observe whether the distorted screen issue is resolved. It could also be due to weather or human factors causing a damp interior environment. Park the car under the sun for several hours to remove the moisture inside the vehicle.

Last time my car's reversing camera suddenly showed a green screen, and I almost hit a pillar while reversing in the parking lot, which scared me and made my heart race. I remember the most common cause is a loose camera connection, so I immediately went to check the video cable plug in the trunk and found it was slightly loose. After reinserting it firmly, the issue was resolved. If that doesn't work, it might be due to a short circuit in the wiring or a faulty camera itself, requiring a replacement. Some people overlook settings issues, such as a malfunctioning infotainment system—you can try restarting the car's head unit by turning off the engine for a few minutes and then restarting. To prevent problems, I regularly clean the camera lens to prevent dust buildup and avoid water exposure to prevent corrosion. Safety comes first; don't delay if your reversing camera has issues. Addressing them promptly can reduce accident risks and save you from more expensive repairs.

I've encountered a green screen while driving, which was quite bothersome as it made reversing difficult and increased the risk of hitting objects. First, check the camera lens yourself; if it's dirty, clean it gently with a soft cloth. Then, inspect the wiring connection points in the trunk—if they're loose, unplug and reconnect them to see if that helps. For software issues, restarting the navigation system a few times might resolve the problem. Replacing the camera isn't hard; buying parts online and following video tutorials can save both time and money. However, be cautious of aging wires or poor connections, as they can cause recurring issues. Regular maintenance, like avoiding prolonged exposure to sun and rain, can extend the camera's lifespan—safety first. If you can't fix it yourself, don't hesitate to seek help from a mechanic early on to avoid risks over minor issues.

From automotive electronics experience, a green screen in the reverse camera is often caused by signal transmission interruption, such as poor AV cable contact or camera malfunction. First, perform a soft system reboot: park the car, turn off the engine, wait 10 seconds, and restart. Then check if the wiring connectors are oxidized and clean them. If the camera is faulty, replace it with a new part—it's inexpensive but requires selecting a compatible model. From a safety perspective, don't ignore the issue as it may lead to overlooked short-circuit hazards behind the scenes. Timely diagnosis ensures driving safety.

What Causes High Fuel Consumption in Mercedes-Benz E300?

Here are the reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption in Mercedes-Benz E300: 1. Too much engine oil: Excessive oil added during maintenance leads to increased fuel consumption. Every time the car goes for maintenance, it is necessary to change the engine oil. When changing the oil, the old oil must be completely drained, and the new oil should be added according to the standard dosage. 2. Loose spark plugs: If fuel consumption rises immediately after changing the spark plugs, many people naturally suspect the spark plugs. If the mechanic does not tighten the spark plugs to the manufacturer's specified torque during replacement, it can cause gas leakage. High-temperature and high-pressure gases slowly leak out, reducing the pressure in the cylinder. 3. Incorrect spark plug model: Using inferior spark plugs or spark plugs that do not match the original specifications, especially those with incorrect gaps or heat values, can also lead to increased fuel consumption.

What are the common faults of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?

Here are the common fault types of Mercedes-Benz: 1. Brake friction pads: Over time, the friction pads wear below standard requirements, resulting in poor braking performance, and should be replaced promptly. Note that the friction pads on one axle must be replaced simultaneously. 2. Steering lock system: Improper operation can cause issues with the steering system, making the steering wheel unable to turn. Do not tow the vehicle in this state, as it can be dangerous. 3. Tire inflation pressure monitoring system: This warning light will illuminate if the tire pressure is too high or too low, or it may indicate that the information was not re-entered after a tire change. 4. Electric parking brake: When the indicator light is on, it means the handbrake is engaged properly and will turn off automatically when released. If the indicator light continues to flash, it indicates that the braking force is insufficient to prevent the vehicle from moving.

How to Check the Oil Dipstick?

The method to check the oil dipstick is as follows: 1. First, locate the position of the oil dipstick, which is usually next to the engine. The dipstick has a distinct feature—a pull ring. 2. After pulling out the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a clean tissue, then reinsert it. 3. Pull out the oil dipstick a second time to check the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates that the oil level is normal. Here are some precautions to note when checking: 1. When checking the oil dipstick, make sure the car's four wheels are parked on the same level ground without any tilt in any direction. 2. The oil dipstick is used to measure the static oil level height, reflecting whether the engine oil volume is within a reasonable range. 3. Standard oil dipsticks will have clear upper and lower limit marks; just ensure the measured oil level is between these two marks.
