The windshield defroster symbols are: a fan-shaped symbol indicates front window defrosting and defogging, while a rectangular symbol indicates rear window defrosting and defogging. The reason for fogging inside the windshield is: the interior is warm while the exterior is cold, creating a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle. When the carbon dioxide exhaled by passengers inside the car encounters the cold glass, it condenses into water vapor, forming fog on the window. Solutions for fogging inside the windshield include: 1. Open the windows slightly to allow air convection when the fogging is not severe; 2. Create airflow from outside the vehicle to reduce the temperature difference and eliminate the fog; 3. Press the front windshield defroster button on the central control panel and adjust the air vents to direct airflow toward the front windshield; 4. Evenly spray defogging agent onto a soft cloth and wipe the front windshield, or spray it directly onto the glass.

What is the wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz G?

The maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz G is 500mm. The wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz G is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Mercedes-Benz G is below the water level when wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Follow the path taken by other vehicles and drive slowly at a steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to estimate water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route.

What grade of gasoline is suitable for the Haval F7?

Haval F7 should use 92-octane gasoline, as this fuel grade is recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, you can also find it indicated on the fuel tank cap of the Haval F7. Typically, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. For higher compression ratios, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline, as factors like ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, higher gasoline grades have higher octane ratings and better anti-knock properties. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Occasionally using the wrong gasoline grade in the Haval F7 only requires switching back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: Using a higher-octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using lower-octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for higher octane can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in extreme cases, cylinder scoring.

What brand are the original brake pads for Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz original brake pads are from the Bosch brand. Advantages of Mercedes-Benz original brake pads: During continuous braking, even when temperatures reach as high as 500 degrees, the brake pads will not deform or melt, maintaining excellent braking performance. Their characteristics include a large braking torque and short braking distance; long service life, with an average lifespan extended by more than 50% compared to semi-metallic brake pads. Automotive brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. Automotive brake pads, also known as automotive brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction lining and friction block bear external pressure, generating friction to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration. When the metal base of the brake pad and the brake disc are in a state of metal-to-metal grinding, shiny iron filings can be seen near the rim of the tire. It is recommended to regularly check the wear condition of the brake pads to see if they are still usable, rather than relying solely on the warning light. Drivers should increase the frequency of self-inspection. Due to the wheel hub design of some models, visual inspection is not possible, and the tire needs to be removed to complete the inspection. Be prepared to replace them at any time. With continuous use, the thickness of the brake pads will gradually wear thin. The thickness of a new brake pad is generally around 1.5cm. When the visible thickness of the brake pad is only about 1/3 of the original thickness (approximately 0.5cm), the brake pads should be replaced.

During driving, avoid rapidly pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. Do not coast in neutral. When parking, pay attention to the gear selection, and be cautious of rolling back on slopes. Note the switching of gears while driving and the starting gear. Whether manual or automatic, the right foot should control the accelerator and brake. The birth of automatic transmission models aims to free our left foot and reduce the fatigue of frequent gear shifting with the right hand. Driving tips for automatic transmission vehicles: Press the accelerator, and when the RPM rises to the shifting range, the P gear has a locking device. Engaging P without pulling the handbrake can cause wear on the device. Keeping the gear in D while the vehicle is stationary can wear the transmission. When parking, press the brake, pull the handbrake, shift to P, lightly release the foot brake, and remove the key.
