Car maintenance is best done every six months. Also known as car servicing, it refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car. Car maintenance mainly includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, etc., with the aim of keeping the car clean, maintaining normal technical conditions, eliminating potential hazards, preventing faults, and extending the service life. The content of car maintenance includes: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter, checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires; 4. Inspecting the car chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any scratches; 5. Checking all switches and lights in the car to ensure they are working properly.

Is the Mercedes-Benz 'Please Correct Tire Pressure' Warning Indicating a Puncture?

Mercedes-Benz displaying the 'Please Correct Tire Pressure' message indicates there may be an issue with the tire pressure, but it does not necessarily mean there is a puncture. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted slightly higher by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure in Mercedes-Benz: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will continue to display the previously recorded data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply resetting the tire pressure will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
