If the car doesn't respond when pressing the unlock button on the key, there could be several possible reasons: 1. The car key battery is dead. This situation is quite common but hard to determine. If the battery hasn't been replaced for a long time, this might be the cause, and simply replacing the battery can solve it. 2. Severe signal interference in the surrounding environment. Try moving the car to another location and test again. If it works, it indicates strong signal interference near the original spot. 3. The key's control unit is damaged. 4. The second key is left inside the car (there's already a key inside). 5. The car wasn't shifted to P (Park) before turning off the engine (some models require shifting to P before turning off). 6. Another possibility is dirt inside the key causing poor contact. Cleaning it with alcohol can help.

Where is the sunroof drainage pipe of the Mercedes-Benz E300L?

The sunroof drainage pipe of the Mercedes-Benz E300L is located at the four corners of the sunroof. Open the sunroof to see the two front drainage outlets. Daily lubrication of the sunroof: Fully open the car sunroof, wipe the dust on the slide rails with a clean soft cloth, and use a lubricant that does not easily attract dust to lubricate the slide rails and transmission pipes of the sunroof. Sunroof cleaning tips: In spring and autumn, clean the sealing ring with a wet sponge every quarter. Before long-term parking, thoroughly clean the sunroof with talcum powder to prevent the rubber seal from aging due to chemical changes in the air over time. When using a high-pressure water gun for car washing: When washing the car with a high-pressure water gun, avoid directly spraying water at the sealing ring around the sunroof, as this may cause deformation of the sealing ring under the high-pressure water jet.

Should the Mercedes-Benz C-Class use 95 or 98 octane gasoline?

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class uses 98 octane gasoline, but it can also use 95 octane gasoline with minimal impact, although 98 octane is preferable. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank: Overfilling the fuel tank can easily block the vent hole. Once the vent hole is blocked, the pressure inside the tank will drop below normal, leading to poor fuel supply or even a complete stoppage. Overfilling also increases the vehicle's weight, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, gasoline can deteriorate, posing safety risks. Avoid waiting for the low fuel warning before refueling: While driving, always monitor the fuel gauge. When the gauge shows one-quarter of the fuel remaining, it's time to refuel. If the tank remains empty for too long, the temperature difference between the inside and outside can cause condensation inside the tank, leading to corrosion, degraded fuel quality, and increased engine strain.
