The body module of the Mercedes GL550 is generally installed in the glove compartment, and the module has two plugs. Powertrain: The GL550 is equipped with a 4.6-liter V-8 biturbo engine paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 429 hp. The official combined fuel consumption is only 13.1-18.1 liters per 100 kilometers. Safety features: The GL550 comes standard with 13-way 9-airbag protection, providing nine airbags with 13 protection paths. These nine airbags include two front adaptive airbags (driver and front passenger), one knee airbag (driver), four side airbags in the front and rear seat backs, and two large window airbags on the sides of the third-row seats. These airbags comprehensively surround both front and rear passengers, minimizing the impact of collisions on occupants to the greatest extent.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate and Severe Vehicle Vibration?

When the engine warning light comes on accompanied by noticeable vehicle vibration, the root cause is typically poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This incomplete combustion leads to carbon deposits in the engine - the primary reason for vehicle shaking. Simultaneously, when oxygen sensors detect this combustion inefficiency and report it to the ECU, the system triggers the warning light. This explains why these two symptoms often occur together. Several components can contribute to poor mixture combustion, including faulty spark plugs, defective ignition coils, malfunctioning fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines. When the engine warning light activates, follow these steps: 1. First assess whether the engine is running normally. Check for symptoms like vibration, black smoke emission, or difficulty starting. If present, avoid restarting the engine - especially if the warning light is red. 2. If the engine operates normally, drive cautiously to the nearest service center promptly. Technicians can quickly diagnose the issue using portable scanners to read trouble codes and perform targeted repairs. 3. For normally functioning engines, owners may attempt basic troubleshooting: gently reseating wiring harness connectors (as loose connections may be the culprit) or repeatedly turning the ignition key to the ON position to potentially reset the system.

Reasons for Steering Wheel Shaking on Highways

Tire or related drivetrain component issues, resonance from the engine, road surface conditions, etc. Below are detailed explanations regarding the causes of steering wheel shaking on highways: 1. Tire or related drivetrain component issues: Tires are critical components that directly contact the road surface. Damage or deformation to tires can cause the steering wheel to shake. 2. Issues with specific chassis components: Such as abnormalities in the suspension system: for example, problems with shock absorbers, or irregularities in the steering or drivetrain systems.

What Gear to Use When Parking on a Slope?

For automatic transmission vehicles, shift to P (Park). For manual transmission vehicles, generally shift to neutral. In specific situations, shift to R (Reverse) when the front of the car is facing downhill, and shift to 1st gear when the front is facing uphill. When parking on a slope, it's best to engage the parking brake simultaneously. If the front of the car is facing uphill, shift to a forward gear; if facing downhill, shift to reverse. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Upon hearing the 'slope parking' instruction, immediately turn on the right turn signal and steer the car towards the right side of the area. 2. As you approach the roadside, slightly turn the steering wheel to the left, then quickly straighten it to the right, ensuring the right side of the car is parallel to the roadside and within 50 cm. 3. Press the clutch, slowly approach the parking spot, and when the small rearview mirror on the right side aligns with the parking sign, press the foot brake, stop, engage the parking brake, and turn off the turn signal. 4. Before starting, shift to 1st gear, turn on the left turn signal, and honk the horn once. 5. Slowly release the clutch while holding the parking brake lever, ready to start. When you feel the car body vibrate or hear gear engagement sounds, release the parking brake, and the car will move forward.

At how many kilometers should car spark plugs be replaced?

Under normal maintenance conditions, car spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance color to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug's insulator skirt should be reddish-brown, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, with signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the mixture is too rich, with oil creeping up.
