Wiper blades need to be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. The wiper blades have been used for a long time, and the rubber strips have aged; 2. Cracks appear on the rubber strips of the wiper blades; 3. There is a screeching sound when the wiper blades are in use; 4. There are marks left on the windshield after wiping; 5. The wiper blades shake or jump during use. Precautions for using wiper blades include: 1. When using wiper blades to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, spray windshield washer fluid instead of dry wiping; 2. Manually clean any stubborn or hard dirt on the windshield; 3. When lifting the wiper blades, hold them by the spine and gently place them back; 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice from the windshield before using the wiper blades; 5. Repair wiper blade malfunctions as soon as possible.

What does D+- mean in automatic transmission?

D+- in automatic transmission represents the manual mode of an automatic gearbox, indicating that the vehicle is equipped with a semi-automatic transmission that combines automatic gear shifting with simulated manual gear shifting. The D+- mode not only retains the automatic gear shifting function but also adds the manual gear shifting capability, breaking free from the limitations of traditional automatic transmissions. This allows drivers to enjoy the fun of free gear shifting like in manual transmissions while still experiencing the comfort of automatic transmissions. Additional information: 1. In manual mode, the vehicle will have three restricted gears: D1, D2, and D3. When driving through complex road conditions, switching to manual mode can make driving more convenient. 2. When encountering slopes, the vehicle can be switched to manual mode with the gear shifted to D3 or D2, providing greater power and limiting the speed to these two gears. For steeper slopes, the gear can be shifted to 1st gear. Similarly, when going downhill, shifting to these two gears can reduce brake pad wear, lower the probability of accidents, help control speed, and make driving safer.

Will the car hit the wall if turning the steering wheel fully to the left while the right side is close to the wall?

Backing up will definitely hit the wall; if you turn the steering wheel fully to the opposite side of the wall and move forward, the rear edge of the front wheels will hit the wall. Therefore, it is better to move forward slowly while gradually turning the steering wheel. Wait until the front of the car is far from the wall, and the rearview mirror shows that the rear of the car also has a safe distance from the wall, then you can fully turn the steering wheel to drive out. Here are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirror: When turning or changing lanes, you must turn on the turn signal and slow down. Always check the rearview mirror before turning; left turns mainly require checking the left rearview mirror, right turns mainly require checking the right rearview mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t stare at the front of the car: When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead 100 meters, not at the immediate front of the car. 3. Press the clutch: Usually, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there is no need to press the clutch first. Press the clutch when the speed drops to about 20 km/h. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.

What brand are the original tires for the Mercedes-Benz GLA200?

Mercedes-Benz GLA tires are from the Bridgestone brand. The Mercedes-Benz GLA uses tires with the size 235/45/R19. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire width: This is a factor that affects the vehicle's fuel consumption performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, which increases the friction between the tire and the ground. The energy lost as the vehicle's kinetic energy is converted into frictional heat will increase, meaning wider tires consume more fuel over the same distance. 2. Aspect ratio: This is a major factor influencing the vehicle's responsiveness to the road. Vehicles with a lower aspect ratio have thinner sidewalls and greater tire pressure, making them highly responsive to the road. This allows them to quickly transmit road signals to the driver, enhancing control, and is commonly found in performance-oriented models.

What are the drawbacks of filler-free dent repair?

The drawbacks of filler-free dent repair are that it requires a higher level of technical skill. If the technique is not up to standard, it may result in uneven surfaces or even thinning of the original material. Additionally, it is expensive and suitable only for niche vehicle models. Some vehicles with aluminum alloy bodies cannot use this repair technique. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive dent repair: 1. Introduction: Automotive dent repair involves restoring the dented parts of a car's paint surface to their original condition. Generally, this method can effectively repair dents with sharp or obtuse angles. Dents without paint damage can often be restored to their original state, including hail damage, though edges and AB pillars are more difficult to repair. 2. Traditional metal sheet repair: Metal sheet repair involves restoring deformed parts of a car's metal body, such as dents caused by collisions. The process reshapes the metal to its original form, followed by applying specialized paint to restore the surface to a smooth, glossy finish, matching the undamaged areas.

How often should a car be started if not driven?

A car that has been parked for one to two months without being driven needs to be started. Below are some methods for maintaining the car battery: 1. In-car electricity usage: To maintain the car battery, avoid listening to the radio loudly, charging your phone, or using an air pump when the engine is off. Doing so for extended periods can easily drain the battery, and frequent battery drainage will significantly reduce its lifespan. 2. Long-distance highway driving: Regularly driving on highways not only helps remove carbon deposits from the vehicle but also fully charges the battery. Generally, driving on the highway for more than an hour will fully charge the car battery, keeping it in optimal condition. 3. Avoid prolonged inactivity: If the car is not used for an extended period, the battery cable should be disconnected, or the vehicle should be started and driven for several dozen kilometers every two weeks to ensure the battery remains functional. 4. High-power electrical connections: Many car appliances nowadays, such as car refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, and air pumps, have very high instantaneous power. Avoid directly powering these devices with the car battery. Instead, start the vehicle first and then connect the electrical appliances.

What Causes a Car to Fail to Start on Rainy Days?

On rainy days, a car failing to start is usually due to short circuits caused by damp electrical circuits. Here are other reasons why a car might not start: 1. Carbon buildup in the engine: If the car idles with slight shaking, cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors can resolve the issue. 2. Weak spark plug ignition: If spark plugs are not replaced after their maintenance cycle, their ignition energy weakens, leading to misfires in severe cases. 3. Insufficient fuel pressure: Low pressure in the fuel system can cause the engine to require a second ignition. Check components such as the fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and internal fuel lines. 4. Dead battery: In this case, jump-starting the car with another vehicle or battery is necessary.
