The cabin air filter in the Mercedes-Benz GLK is located above the footwell on the passenger side, and it can be seen after removing the cover panel. The general replacement interval for the cabin air filter is every 10,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to replacing the cabin air filter: 1. If the airflow from the air conditioner is significantly reduced, the cabin air filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. 2. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (such as dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier. 3. The cabin air filter should be correctly installed in its position. Using the air conditioner when the cabin air filter is removed may degrade dust-proof performance and affect the air conditioner's performance.

I've located the cabin air filter on my Mercedes GLK300 several times, and its position is quite clear: it's in the footwell area on the passenger side. Open the glove compartment, and you'll find a plastic cover or panel inside. Unscrew a few small screws, and the filter will be visible. When I replaced it myself, I used a Phillips screwdriver and got it done within 5 minutes. I recommend buying the correct matching model beforehand; Mercedes-specific filters are generally easy to find online. The placement is well-designed to avoid crowding on the driver's side, but be careful with your knees when bending down—laying down a mat makes it more comfortable. Check the filter every 15,000 kilometers or so; replace it if it's too dusty to keep the cabin air fresh and maintain good anti-allergy effects.

What brand is the car with the L logo?

There are two car brands with an L-shaped logo: one is Lexus. Lexus LEXUS: The Lexus logo takes the first letter of the English name of the car, which is the first letter "L" of LEXUS. It is a high-end imported brand of Toyota; the other is Luxgen, a brand from Taiwan, which has a joint venture with Dongfeng in China and currently produces the Luxgen U7 SUV and U6. Below is an introduction to Lexus and Luxgen: 1. Lexus, formerly known as Lingzhi, is a luxury car brand under the Toyota Group. Since its establishment, Lexus has taken only a little more than 10 years to catch up with the sales of the three major German luxury car brands (BBA) in North America. It has topped the U.S. luxury car sales rankings for 11 consecutive years, and its global sales and reputation are also remarkable. This is the first car brand with an L-shaped logo. 2. Luxgen comes from Taiwan's largest automobile manufacturer—Yulon Group, which later established a joint venture with the mainland. Its main models include MPVs, SUVs, and small cars. Luxgen is positioned as "independent brand, innovative technology, latecomer advantage, leading the world." This is the second car brand with an L-shaped logo.

What Starts the Engine?

Modern automobile engines use an electric motor as the starting power source. The starting system consists of a battery, ignition switch, starter relay, starter motor, and other components. The function of the starting system is to convert the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy through the starter motor to initiate engine operation. Below are the relevant details: 1. The starting switch activates the starter solenoid circuit, allowing the solenoid to operate. In gasoline engines, the starting switch is integrated with the ignition switch. 2. The starter relay controls the on/off state of the starter solenoid circuit via its contacts (normally open type). The starting switch only controls the starter relay coil circuit, thereby protecting the starting switch. There are single-type (protecting the starting switch) and compound-type (protecting both the starting switch and the starter motor) relays.

What Type of Fire Extinguisher Should a Car Be Equipped With?

It is better for a car to be equipped with a dry powder fire extinguisher or a water-based fire extinguisher. Below is an introduction to these two types of fire extinguishers: 1. Dry powder fire extinguishers extinguish fires quickly and are low-cost, but they are polluting and corrosive. The fire extinguishing mechanism of dry powder fire extinguishers is chemical inhibition, which interrupts the chain reaction of combustion. They have a high fire extinguishing level, comprehensive functionality, rapid extinguishing capabilities, electrical insulation properties, and good performance in low-temperature conditions. 2. Water-based fire extinguishers cannot extinguish Class D metal fires but can extinguish other types of flames. They are non-polluting, harmless to humans, and most effective in extinguishing Class B liquid fires, making them particularly suitable for engine and car fires. However, they are difficult to store and expensive.

How to Deactivate the Auto Start-Stop Function?

Engine auto start-stop can be manually deactivated via a switch in the vehicle. However, it cannot be permanently disabled; you need to manually turn it off each time you start the car. Auto start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Below is an introduction to how the start-stop system works: 1. The Start/Stop system automatically detects when the engine is idling and no gear is engaged. 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system indicate zero rotation. 3. The electronic battery sensor shows sufficient energy for the next start. 4. When these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops.

What is the purpose of the S gear in an automatic transmission?

The S gear in an automatic transmission refers to the sport mode. Typically, the sport mode is mainly used when driving on uphill sections or during overtaking. Here is some relevant information about the S gear: 1. Disadvantages of long-term use of the S gear: If the S gear is used for a long time, it will accelerate the wear of the originally high-speed rotating components in the engine due to the more aggressive driving mode of the S gear. Additionally, in the S gear mode, the engine speed is increased, and the engine operates under high load, which results in fuel consumption being directly proportional to the power output. 2. Advantages of the S gear: Although the S gear has an impact on the engine, it also has positive aspects. For example, when driving in the S gear, the engine injects more fuel to maintain power output.

What are the reasons for the decrease in brake fluid?

There are several reasons for the decrease in brake fluid: 1. Wear: If the brake pads are worn, the brake fluid will replenish the pipeline, causing the fluid level to drop. Friction between metal parts inevitably leads to wear, and both the brake pads and discs are consumable parts that will become thinner with use. 2. Leakage: If there is a leak in the brake fluid pipeline, it is recommended to inspect and repair it promptly. If the fluid level is found to be low after inspection, it is advisable to first check the brake pads and then the brake discs. After replacement, the fluid level will usually rise. It is best to check the brake fluid level regularly every month, paying attention to whether there is a significant drop in the fluid level or a deterioration in quality. If so, the brake fluid should be added or replaced promptly.
