As a seasoned driver, I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz B-Class for years. The routine maintenance items mainly fall into two parts: periodic servicing and inspections. First are the basic replacement parts, such as changing the engine oil and oil filter every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to keep the engine running smoothly; the air filter is typically replaced every 20,000 kilometers to prevent dust from clogging the intake. Then there's the brake system check, examining the thickness of the brake pads and any wear on the discs—safety first. The coolant is changed every two years to avoid engine overheating. Filters and belts also need regular inspection and replacement if they show signs of aging. Additionally, tire rotation and balancing should be done every 10,000 kilometers to extend their lifespan. Don't overlook the battery test, especially in winter when it's prone to losing charge. These minor items aren't too complicated, and it's more reassuring to have them handled at a professional shop with transparent pricing. Consistently keeping up with these tasks ensures the car stays in great condition, drives smoothly without worries, and saves on repair costs in the long run.

Are the mirrors on both sides of the car called rearview mirrors or reflecting mirrors?

The mirrors on both sides of the car are called rearview mirrors. The car has three rearview mirrors in total: left, center, and right. Whether parking, reversing, or changing lanes, rearview mirrors are essential and play a crucial role in ensuring driving safety. Their function is to reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision and enhancing safety during reversing and driving. Rearview mirrors can be divided into two types: externally adjustable and internally adjustable. Externally adjustable mirrors require the driver to manually adjust the mirror frame or surface while the car is parked. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to complete adjustments conveniently in one go. The driver must reach out of the window to adjust, which is inconvenient while driving or during rainy conditions. Generally, large vehicles, trucks, and low-end buses use externally adjustable mirrors to reduce costs. Internally adjustable mirrors allow the driver to adjust the rearview mirrors while driving, providing more convenient conditions for observing the rear view. Most mid-range and high-end cars use internally adjustable mirrors. This method can be further divided into manual adjustment (via wire cable transmission or a handle) and electric adjustment. Since the position of the rearview mirrors directly affects the driver's ability to observe the rear of the car, and adjusting them can be challenging—especially for the mirror on the front passenger side—modern cars mostly feature electric rearview mirrors controlled by an electrical system.

Is it dangerous for cold tire pressure to increase from 2.5 to 2.9 on the highway?

It is normal for tire pressure to increase when driving on the highway due to rising tire temperature, and it is not dangerous. Tire pressure standards: The maximum tire pressure that a tire can withstand can be found on the sidewall of the tire, usually around 3.5-4.2. However, daily driving does not require such high tire pressure, as it can affect tire friction, adhesion, braking performance, and tire lifespan. However, there is one tire that typically requires higher pressure: the spare tire. When in standby, the spare tire should have higher pressure to avoid losing its emergency function due to low pressure, usually above 2.5. When it's time to use it, adjust the pressure to the appropriate level. Where to check the recommended tire pressure: For accurate tire pressure values, refer to the vehicle's user manual or the label near the door (attached to the B-pillar or C-pillar), where the manufacturer's recommended value (cold tire pressure) can be found. Generally, different vehicle models have different tire pressure requirements. Additionally, tire pressure can be adjusted seasonally. In summer, tire pressure should be slightly lower because high temperatures can cause tires to overheat, and high pressure may lead to blowouts. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly higher than in summer due to thermal contraction and expansion.

What does pumping the brakes mean?

Pumping the brakes means repeatedly releasing and pressing the brake pedal. The reasons and working principles of pumping the brakes are as follows: Reasons for pumping the brakes: It is mostly used for large vehicles without ABS and equipped with air brakes. Because large vehicles are heavier and less agile, but air brakes respond faster than hydraulic brakes. To avoid locking the wheels and losing steering control, pumping the brakes is employed. Working principle: Prevents wheel lock-up, thereby controlling the vehicle from skidding. First, press the brake slightly; when the vehicle noticeably slows down, release the brake (but not completely). When the vehicle is about to lose braking control, press the brake again. Repeat this cycle.

What Refrigerant is Used in Car Air Conditioning?

The refrigerant used in car air conditioning is R134a. Refilling refrigerant in car air conditioning includes the high-pressure side refrigerant charging method and the low-pressure side refrigerant charging method, as detailed below: High-pressure side refrigerant charging method: After the system is vacuumed, close the high and low-pressure manual valves on the manifold gauge. Connect one end of the middle hose to the refrigerant canister injection valve. Open the refrigerant canister valve, then loosen the nut at one end of the manifold gauge hose to let gas escape for a few minutes, then tighten the nut. Open the high-pressure side manual valve fully and invert the refrigerant canister. Inject the specified amount of liquid refrigerant from the high-pressure side. Close the refrigerant canister injection valve and the high-pressure manual valve on the manifold gauge, then remove the gauge. When charging refrigerant from the high-pressure side, the engine should be off (compressor stopped), and do not open the low-pressure manual valve on the manifold gauge to prevent hydraulic shock. Low-pressure side refrigerant charging method: First, connect the manifold gauge to the compressor and refrigerant canister. Open the refrigerant canister and loosen the nut of the middle injection hose on the manifold gauge until you hear the sound of refrigerant vapor flowing, then tighten the nut to expel air from the injection hose. Open the low-pressure manual valve to let refrigerant enter the system. When the system pressure reaches 0.4 MPa, close the low-pressure manual valve. Start the engine, turn on the air conditioning switch, and set the blower switch and temperature control switch to maximum. Open the manual valve on the manifold gauge to let more refrigerant enter the system until the specified amount is reached. After charging the specified amount, observe through the sight glass. If there are no bubbles and no excess refrigerant, adjust the engine speed to 2000 rpm and set the blower to the highest speed.

Does Idling with the Heater On Harm the Car?

Idling with the heater on will slow down the engine's warming-up speed and increase fuel consumption, but it does not harm the car itself. Running the heater while idling is related to the car's displacement and engine tuning. Of course, the main impacts of idling are increased fuel consumption and engine carbon buildup, so it is advisable not to leave the car idling for extended periods. Turning on the heater while idling does not cause serious damage to the car, but it can affect the occupants. When the engine is idling, incomplete fuel combustion produces carbon monoxide. If the windows are closed, the concentration of carbon monoxide inside the car will gradually rise, potentially leading to carbon monoxide poisoning for the occupants.
