Mercedes-Benz GLA headlight switch location: On the left side of the Mercedes-Benz GLA steering wheel, there is a set of combined light switches. At night, rotating the combined switch forward one notch turns on the dashboard lights, and rotating it another notch turns on the low beam. When there are no streetlights on the roadside or when driving on a straight, distant road with poor visibility at night, turn on the high beam by rotating the switch forward one more notch. Below is some related information about car lights: 1. Both high beam and low beam lights are used to illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle. The difference between high beam and low beam is that one illuminates a shorter distance while the other illuminates a longer distance. Typically, low beam lights have an illumination range of about 30-40 meters with an angle of approximately 160°, while high beam lights are more focused, brighter, and can illuminate higher and farther. 2. While driving, if the driver encounters oncoming traffic, is close to a vehicle ahead in the same direction, or when the road is already sufficiently lit, they should immediately switch from high beam to low beam.

What is the difference between 22-cylinder and 30-cylinder?

The difference between 22-cylinder and 30-cylinder car air pumps lies in their inflation speed. The 30-cylinder model inflates faster than the 22-cylinder one. Slower inflation speeds make it more difficult to inflate larger vehicles. Details are as follows: Working principle of car air pumps: Car air pumps operate by drawing power from external or built-in batteries to run the motor. The motor generates power to draw in surrounding air, creating air pressure that opens the valve of the connecting device. The air pressure then enters the air cylinder. When inflating tires, the air pressure in the cylinder flows through the outlet hose into the tire's valve, using the pressure to open the valve core rubber ring and allow air to enter the tire. Requirements for selecting an air pump: Consider the power rating. Small cars can opt for low-power air pumps, which are cheaper and more energy-efficient. For accurate inflation data, precision is crucial. High-quality tire pressure gauges typically feature an embedded, integrated design to prevent impact and loosening that could affect measurement accuracy.

What are the five driving modes of the GLC?

Mercedes-Benz GLC is the first all-new crossover model launched by Mercedes-Benz. The five driving modes of the GLC are: 1. E (Eco) Mode: Its function is to save fuel and energy, but the vehicle's power will be reduced, making it feel sluggish. The transmission always shifts to the highest gear as soon as possible, allowing 6th gear cruising at 60 km/h. 2. C (Comfort) Mode: This is the most commonly used mode. In this mode, balanced comfort is the GLC's greatest performance, offering a calm, smooth, and unhurried drive. The steering is light and precise, especially at low speeds. 3. S (Sport) Mode: In this mode, the transmission keeps the engine RPM above 2500, and the steering wheel immediately feels much tighter. 4. S+ (Sport+) Mode: Sport+ is more aggressive than Sport mode. 5. IN (Individual) Mode: Allows customization of powertrain and steering settings, such as combining Eco mode power with Sport mode steering.

Can the front and rear fog lights be turned on together?

The front and rear fog lights can indeed be turned on simultaneously. On the lighting control switch, when you turn the switch to the rear fog light position, both the front and rear fog lights will activate. Fog lights do not have a glare shield, and their light has strong penetration in foggy conditions. Therefore, in extremely poor visibility weather, it is essential to turn on the fog lights—both to alert and warn oncoming vehicles and pedestrians and to make it easier for vehicles behind to spot your car. Fog lights should not be used as regular daytime running lights. Due to their high penetration, fog lights should not be turned on unnecessarily, as they can significantly interfere with the driver's vision. Fog lights also have a minor utility: when driving on rough, uneven roads at night, high beams and low beams often fail to illuminate the road ahead clearly. In such cases, turning on the front fog lights can provide additional illumination. Of course, once the road conditions return to normal or when an oncoming vehicle approaches, the fog lights should be turned off promptly.

What is the function of the coupler and draft gear?

The function of the coupler and draft gear: To mitigate the longitudinal impacts and vibrations caused by changes in locomotive traction force during operation, or collisions between vehicles during starting, braking, and shunting operations. The draft gear has the capability to dissipate impacts and vibrations between vehicles, thereby reducing damage to the vehicle structure and loaded cargo. The working principle of the draft gear involves using compressed elastic elements to cushion the impact force, while friction and damping during the deformation of the elastic elements absorb the impact energy. The coupler and draft gear is a vehicle component used to connect vehicles with each other, locomotives, or multiple units, transmitting traction force, braking force, and mitigating longitudinal impact force. It consists of the coupler, draft gear, coupler yoke, follower plate, etc., forming an integrated unit installed in the draft sill at the end of the underframe. This ensures safe and reliable vehicle coupling and interchangeability of the coupler and draft gear installation. Types of draft gears: Based on their structural characteristics and working principles, draft gears can generally be classified into: friction draft gears, rubber draft gears, and hydraulic draft gears.

What is the engine speed at 100 km/h?

At 100km/h, the transmission is usually in the highest gear, and maintaining this cruising speed does not require pressing the accelerator deeply. Generally speaking, a range of 1000 to 4000 RPM is considered normal. The conversion relationship between engine speed and vehicle speed is: Vehicle speed = Engine speed × Current gear ratio of the transmission × Wheel circumference. From this, it can be seen that engine speed and vehicle speed do not have a one-to-one correspondence; they also depend on the current gear, which is the gear ratio of the transmission. For example, at an engine speed of 2500 RPM, the corresponding vehicle speed will differ between second gear and fourth gear. Higher speed generally means higher RPM, but higher RPM does not necessarily mean higher speed. The RPM range of 2000 to 4000 is referred to as the engine's healthy RPM range, meaning that operating within this range allows the engine to perform its functions more effectively. If the RPM is too low, fuel combustion in the cylinders will be incomplete, leading to easy carbon buildup in the engine. Over time, this can cause significant damage to the engine. Conversely, if the RPM is too high, it will increase wear and tear on the engine.

What are the symptoms of a faulty fuel injector in an engine?

Here are the symptoms of a damaged fuel injector in a car: 1. Engine shaking: When fuel injection is not smooth, the engine may experience operational shaking during operation. 2. Decreased power and increased fuel consumption: If the fuel injection volume and pressure cannot be guaranteed, it will lead to reduced vehicle power and increased fuel consumption. 3. Increased exhaust emissions pollution: Faulty engine fuel injectors affect the mixing and combustion of combustible gas mixtures, resulting in increased pollutants in vehicle exhaust emissions. 4. Difficulty starting or even stalling: The vehicle may experience difficulty starting and sudden stalling during driving. 5. Engine misfire: If the fuel injector of a specific cylinder is severely damaged, the engine may misfire, causing severe shaking. 6. Black smoke from the exhaust: Poor fuel atomization and inadequate mixing with air prevent complete combustion of the combustible gas mixture, leading to black smoke from the vehicle and increased engine carbon deposits.
