Mercedes-Benz oil level checking standard is that the oil level should be at the midpoint of the oil dipstick, which is the optimal position. The oil level refers to the height of the topmost point of the engine oil. Precautions for checking the oil level: When checking the engine oil level using the dipstick, it is essential to ensure that all four wheels of the vehicle are parked on the same level surface. Therefore, there should be no tilt in any direction, front, back, up, or down. Hazards of overfilling oil: Burning engine oil can damage the sealing of the cylinders, clog the spark plugs, and at the same time, it can also harm the three-way catalytic converter. The associated losses caused by overfilling oil can be significant.

Which gear should an automatic car be in when waiting at a red light?

If the waiting time is more than 40 seconds, shift to N gear and apply the handbrake. For less than 40 seconds, simply keep your foot on the brake in D gear. Here are some additional details about automatic transmission cars: 1. Heavy traffic: In cases of severe traffic congestion, it is recommended to shift to P gear. For brief stops, you can shift to N gear and apply the brake, depending on the situation. 2. Working principle: Automatic transmission cars typically use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch found in manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to move the car forward. When the gear lever is moved to the drive position and the brake pedal is released, increasing the throttle and engine speed raises the transmitted torque, propelling the car forward.

Why Can't the Car Key Be Pulled Out?

Here are the common reasons why a car key cannot be pulled out: 1. The gear shift is not fully returned to the P position: It may appear to be in place, but it hasn't actually touched the electronic sensor, or there might be coins or other objects obstructing the return in the gear slot. The owner should check for any foreign objects blocking the gear slot, remove them, start the car, and shift the gear again to ensure it is fully returned to position, after which the key can be pulled out. 2. The car's steering wheel is automatically locked: This is an anti-theft feature of the car. It usually happens when, after parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel is accidentally turned left or right, or if the wheels are not straight when parked. Force applied can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function, which locks the steering column and the steering lock pin together, making the steering wheel immovable. Even if the key is inserted and turned with force, it won't budge. Below is some relevant information about car key safety: In daily use, dropping the car key from a height can easily damage it. The internal circuitry of the key has weak impact resistance and can be easily damaged by severe collisions. Another scenario is water damage to the key. If water seeps into the internal circuits and causes a short circuit, it can also lead to remote control failure.

At what age can you start taking the driver's license test?

Depending on the type of vehicle, the minimum age requirement for applying for a driver's license varies. For small cars, you can start taking the test at 18 years old, while for medium-sized buses, you must be at least 21 years old. Below are the relevant details: 1. Driving test: The examination for motor vehicle drivers is divided into three subjects: the knowledge test on road traffic safety laws and regulations, the field driving skills test, and the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. 2. Notes: Each test provides two attempts. If both attempts are unsuccessful, you will need to reschedule the test.

What causes engine shaking at idle?

The reasons for engine shaking at idle are as follows: 1. Fuel quality issues: The shaking may be caused by fuel quality problems, such as using gasoline with a lower octane rating than recommended or poor-quality gasoline, which can lead to idle shaking. If this problem occurs immediately after refueling, it is most likely due to fuel quality issues. In this case, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair to see if the engine has been damaged. 2. Spark plug issues: Aging, damage, or malfunction of spark plugs can also cause idle shaking. For example, excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs can be resolved by replacing them with a new set, and the shaking problem will disappear.

What Are Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control?

Here are the detailed introductions of cruise control and adaptive cruise control: 1. Cruise Control: Cruise control consists of four main components: the command switch, vehicle speed sensor, electronic throttle actuator, and ECU. However, this function is generally set with a minimum speed limit in most vehicles, meaning the car's computer will only maintain a "consistent and stable" speed when a certain speed is reached. Apart from this, operations such as steering and braking still need to be controlled by the driver. 2. Adaptive Cruise Control: Adaptive cruise control can be considered an upgraded version of cruise control. During driving, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects speed signals. When the distance to the vehicle in front becomes too small, the adaptive cruise control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and engine control system to apply appropriate braking and reduce engine output power, thereby maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
