The battery of a Mercedes-Benz is located under the cover panel in front of the windshield on the right side of the engine compartment. Simply open the hood to access the battery. Daily precautions to note: Avoid long-term outdoor parking: Avoid leaving the car parked in an open-air parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent damage from freezing. Pay attention to starting time: Car engines are harder to start in winter. Each attempt to start the engine should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the engine fails to start after multiple attempts, check other potential issues such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous, repeated starting attempts, as this can lead to battery damage due to excessive discharge.

The start-stop battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is typically located in the engine compartment, specifically in the right corner or near the air filter. Having worked on many of these vehicles, I find its position quite well-designed for easy daily inspection and replacement. To access it, first open the engine hood (bonnet), usually visible when lifting the front cover. Once open, look for a labeled black box marked with '12V' or similar identifiers. Its placement on the right side helps avoid interference with other engine components. This battery is crucial for the start-stop system; insufficient charge can affect the auto start-stop function. I recommend owners check the terminals for corrosion every six months, wiping them with a dry cloth to prevent poor contact. If you can't locate it, the owner's manual contains detailed diagrams—avoid forcing anything open to prevent damaging the wiring. Overall, its position is convenient and maintenance is straightforward.

Where to Place ETC in the Car?

The installation position of ETC for small cars is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the middle to lower part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with built-in or later-added explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the owner needs to provide the original and photocopy of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent must also bring their valid ID card. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In this case, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll payment for the preceding vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and cause toll deduction failure. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to toll deduction failure.

What brand is Naaats tires?

Naaats is actually Golden Diamond tires, a passenger car tire brand under Shandong Fangxing Rubber Co., Ltd. Founded in 1998, Fangxing Rubber Co., Ltd. is a tire manufacturing enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales, and international trade. While meeting domestic market demands, its products are exported to over 50 countries and regions including Europe, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Golden Diamond tires have the following features: Unique rubber compound formula: Makes the tires more wear-resistant and provides certain pressure resistance, extending mileage. Asymmetric block tread design: Offers excellent driving force, reduces slippage, and enhances driving safety. Wide crown: Combined with the groove design, ensures more even tread wear and more stable handling. Golden Diamond tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high/low-temperature effects during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance, along with high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the vehicle's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, while bearing the vehicle's weight. Golden Diamond tire maintenance methods: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Regularly adjust wheel balance; unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations at high speeds, leading to uneven tire wear. Perform regular tire rotation. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers. Daily tire usage tips: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks can pose hidden dangers of tire bursts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tires and the road.

What to Do When Your Car Won't Start Due to Dead Battery?

First, use the mechanical key to open the car door, turn the ignition switch to the ON position, press the horn once, and turn on the headlights. If the dashboard doesn't light up, the horn sound is weak or silent, and the lights are dim or not working, it can be basically determined that the battery is dead and needs to be recharged or replaced. If you have a jumper cable, you can connect it to the battery of another normal vehicle to start your car. If there is no way to recharge the battery in time, you can only wait quietly for rescue. If the car is a BAIC New Energy vehicle, you can also call the headquarters for consultation.
