The turn signals on a Mercedes-Benz are located in two positions: inside the front headlights and on the exterior of the rearview mirrors. The turn signal is an important indicator light that is activated when the vehicle is turning to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulbs use xenon tubes and are controlled by a microcontroller circuit, flashing alternately left and right without interruption. The left-hand stalk switch on the steering wheel controls the vehicle's left and right turn signals. Direction: Pushing the stalk up activates the right turn signal (clockwise direction, turning the steering wheel to the right); pulling the stalk down activates the left turn signal (counterclockwise direction, turning the steering wheel to the left). Turn signal usage scenarios: When overtaking, first activate the left turn signal, then the right turn signal after overtaking. When entering a highway, use the left turn signal. When exiting a highway, always turn right. No signal is needed when entering a roundabout, but the right turn signal should be used when exiting. Use the right turn signal when pulling over to park. When leaving the roadside, always turn left, so use the left turn signal. U-turns generally involve turning left, so use the left turn signal. Use the left turn signal when changing lanes to the left, and the right turn signal when changing lanes to the right. When preparing to turn, activate the turn signal in advance to give following drivers time to react.

How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car?

Automatic transmission car driving method: Insert the key and turn it to the ON position, press the brake, shift to N gear, start the engine, then shift to D gear, release the handbrake, lift the foot brake to start. This starting method can avoid the transmission experiencing a reverse impact after starting the engine in P gear. When stopping at a red light or for a short time, after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, pull the handbrake and shift to N gear. After finishing driving, press the brake, when the car comes to a complete stop, pull the handbrake, shift to P gear, lift the foot brake, and remove the key. If you want to overtake, you can first release the accelerator, then press it down again, this will make the transmission automatically downshift to meet the demand, after completing the overtaking, release the accelerator, and the gear will return to the current gear matching the vehicle speed. If encountering uphill or downhill driving, you should switch to low gear to fully utilize the engine's torque, and after finishing the uphill or downhill, shift back to D gear.

What is the mnemonic rhyme for beginners practicing driving an automatic transmission car?

New drivers practicing with an automatic transmission can remember the following rhyme: one turn, two press, three shift; four honk, five release, six observe; seven lift, eight step, nine return lights. Automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Automatic transmissions use planetary gear mechanisms to change gears, automatically shifting based on the degree of throttle pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to control the speed with the accelerator pedal. Generally, automatic transmissions have six gear positions: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).

How often should a seven-seater vehicle undergo inspection?

Seven-seater vehicles require inspection every two years. Even under the new regulations that exempt newly registered small private passenger vehicles from on-site inspections for the first six years, seven-seater vehicles still need to apply for annual inspection and environmental labels every two years within the first six years. If the vehicle is over 6 years old, it needs an annual inspection, and if it exceeds 15 years, it requires inspection every 6 months. Vehicle annual inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. The new inspection regulations are as follows: 1. Non-operational small passenger vehicles require inspection every two years for the first 6 years, and annually from the 7th to the 15th year; 2. Non-operational medium and large passenger vehicles and trucks require annual inspection for the first 10 years, and every six months from the 11th year; 3. Operational vehicles require annual inspection for the first 5 years, and every six months from the 6th year; 4. Motorcycles require inspection every two years for the first 4 years, and annually from the 5th year.

What is the simplest and most accurate method for reverse parking?

Reverse parking simplest and most accurate method: Align the car body: First, align the car body properly, maintaining a distance of about 1 meter from the adjacent car. Reverse parking: Next, start the reverse parking process. Use the right rear wheel to locate the tire point. Once the tire passes the tire point at the upper right corner of the parking space, immediately turn the steering wheel fully. Once the car body is properly aligned, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing until the car is completely inside the parking space. During the reversing process, make sure to position your head at the middle of the car's width, using your eyes to align the midpoint of the rear of the car with the midpoint of the back of the parking space. This ensures the direction is correct. If you notice the rear of the car gradually drifting to one side, it means the steering wheel hasn't been straightened. Precautions for reverse parking: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure the reference points are correct; avoid driving too fast, as high speed may make it difficult to turn the steering wheel in time, increasing the risk of crossing the line.
