The battery of a Mercedes GLK is located on the right side of the engine compartment, which can be found by opening the hood. Below are some maintenance tips for car batteries: 1. Avoid leaving the vehicle parked for extended periods: The car battery will discharge on its own if left unused for a long time. It is recommended to drive the car at least once a week for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the battery to recharge while driving. 2. Close windows before turning off the engine: The power windows and sunroof are powered by the battery. Therefore, it is best to close all windows before turning off the engine, rather than after, or using the long-press lock button method to close them after exiting the vehicle. 3. Keep the battery clean and tidy: Regular inspection is an effective way to extend the lifespan of your car battery. Use a professional battery terminal brush or an old toothbrush to clean dust and corrosion from the positive and negative terminals. Apply a layer of Vaseline or grease to the contact surfaces to form a protective film.

Why is there no power assistance when the new Santana's airbag deploys?

The new Santana's airbag is electronically assisted, and it might be a wiring issue; you can check if the circuit is disconnected. Principle of airbags: An airbag is a flexible rubber capsule filled with compressed air or water medium; it utilizes the compressibility of air and the fluidity of water to achieve elasticity. Birds have nine airbags, which assist in breathing, reduce body density, minimize friction between organs, and dissipate heat. The posterior air sacs connect to the terminal end of the mesobronchus, while the anterior air sacs connect to the ventral bronchi. Except for the interclavicular air sac, which is single, all others are paired left and right. Introduction to airbags: As an auxiliary configuration for passive vehicle safety, airbags are increasingly valued. When a car collides with an obstacle, it is called a primary collision; when occupants collide with interior components, it is called a secondary collision. The airbag rapidly inflates a gas-filled cushion between the primary and secondary collisions, allowing occupants to 'land on the cushion' due to inertia, thereby mitigating the impact and absorbing collision energy to reduce injury severity.

What is the purpose of the plus and minus signs on the gear shift of the Equinox?

The plus and minus signs on the gear shift of the Equinox are part of the manual-automatic transmission, a type of automatic transmission that adds manual shifting functionality on top of the automatic mode, with no significant difference in essence between the two. The function of the Equinox's gear shift: When rapid acceleration or uphill driving is required, pressing the minus (-) sign lowers the transmission gear, quickly increasing the engine speed and instantly boosting the vehicle's torque. Therefore, the manual mode is also referred to as the sport mode, a mode that aligns with the driver's intentions. As for the plus (+) operation, it is rarely used, mainly because the vehicle can upshift on its own in D gear, and it also performs well in fuel consumption control. Note on manual mode: The transmission will not upshift if the vehicle speed and engine speed do not meet the required conditions, as each operation must be approved by the transmission control unit. In manual mode, the transmission will assist in downshifting when the speed is low but will not actively upshift.

How to Handle ETC License Plate Change Without Vehicle Replacement, Can It Be Used Directly?

When changing the license plate but keeping the same vehicle for ETC, you need to update the information at the bank; it cannot be used directly. This is because the ETC card is linked to the vehicle's information. Unauthorized removal or transfer to another vehicle may lead to ETC fraud or evasion of toll fees. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption, and users can enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Precautions for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle ahead stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle, especially if the vehicle ahead has a faulty or no ETC device. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and toll deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or relocation of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag becomes loose or detached, may render the tag invalid. In such cases, visit the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause toll deduction failure. Follow the instructions of on-site staff to use manual MTC lanes and pay via cash or card. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or modified front windshields.

What engine does the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 have?

The engine of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is produced by Dongfeng Xiaokang and is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is SFG18T, with a maximum power of 135kW, maximum horsepower of 184, and maximum torque of 300 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates from the oil, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
