The Mercedes-Benz GLS uses double-wishbone independent suspension for both front and rear suspensions. The double-wishbone independent suspension, also known as double-A-arm independent suspension, features upper and lower wishbones of unequal length. This design allows the vehicle to automatically adjust the camber angle during driving, which helps reduce tire wear to some extent. The Mercedes-Benz GLS is a mid-cycle update of the GL-Class, featuring changes in both exterior and interior design compared to the GL-Class, along with the adoption of a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The dimensions of the new GLS are 4940mm in length, 1881mm in width, and 1416mm in height, with the wheelbase extended by 20mm to 2874mm.

What does unstable idle speed mean?

Unstable idle speed refers to the phenomenon where the engine's tachometer fluctuates up and down while idling, accompanied by engine shaking. The causes of unstable idle speed and shaking in a car include: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup; 2. Dirty throttle body or carbon deposits in the fuel injectors; 3. Faulty spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils leading to poor ignition system performance; 4. Unstable fuel pressure, insufficient fuel pump pressure, or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor; 5. Clogged fuel lines causing insufficient fuel supply; 6. Aging engine components. Solutions for unstable idle speed and shaking: 1. Clean engine and idle speed motor carbon deposits; 2. Clean the fuel system; 3. Replace spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils; 4. Clean the air filter and throttle body; 5. Replace aging engine components.

Should You Shift Gears Based on RPM or Speed?

Shift gears based on RPM. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Torque: The reason a car needs to shift gears is due to new demands on the torque provided by the engine, and the torque the engine can provide is directly related to RPM. 2. Things to note: For a specific car model, the engine RPM corresponds to a particular speed in different gears. If you know this specific relationship, you can also shift gears based on speed. For example, if you need to shift gears at 2000 RPM, and the corresponding speeds for 2000 RPM in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears are 15 km/h, 25 km/h, and 40 km/h respectively, then you can shift gears at the corresponding speeds.

Is a Car with a Handbrake an Automatic Transmission Vehicle?

Automatic transmission vehicles can have handbrakes. The following introduces the functions of car handbrakes and related hazards: Functions of Handbrake: Handbrakes are divided into mechanical handbrakes and electronic handbrakes. The function of a handbrake is to brake when parking on flat ground or slopes, preventing the vehicle from sliding automatically in an unmanned state and avoiding traffic accidents. Hazards of Forgetting to Release the Handbrake While Driving: The brake pump cannot provide sufficient braking force, causing the engine to stall; accelerated wear of the brake disc and hardening of the brake pads due to friction heat; elongation of the handbrake cable; leakage of brake cylinder oil, leading to brake failure. Automatic transmission vehicles do not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions.
