Mercedes-Benz's antifreeze is added on the left side of the engine compartment, behind the headlight. The method of adding antifreeze is as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve, and drain the antifreeze. 2. Insert a rubber hose connected to a tap into the radiator filler port and turn on the tap. 3. Once the cooling system water is completely drained, close the radiator drain valve. 4. Replace the radiator cap and the reservoir cap, then tighten them. Introduction to Mercedes-Benz: 1. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, renowned for its perfect technical level, high-quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe models. 2. The Mercedes three-pointed star is one of the world's most famous car and brand logos.

Antifreeze is the car's coolant, mainly added to the expansion tank. For Mercedes-Benz vehicles, after opening the hood, look for a small plastic container in the engine compartment, usually white or translucent, with a cap marked COOLANT or the antifreeze symbol. Before adding, make sure the car is turned off and cooled for at least half an hour, otherwise opening the hot cap can cause hot liquid to spray out and easily scald people. I've been repairing cars for many years and have seen many beginners get burned due to rushing to add coolant, so safety first. Check that the fluid level is between the high and low marks, and when low, add Mercedes-Benz-specific antifreeze up to the MAX line. Check it every six months or before long trips to prevent engine overheating damage. If you're unsure of the location, check the user manual diagram—it's always accurate—and never operate blindly. Replace the antifreeze before winter to prevent freezing and ensure engine durability.

Can maintenance be done outside of 4S dealerships?

Maintenance can be performed outside of 4S dealerships, but it must be done at qualified service centers using verified safe components. This serves as crucial evidence for protecting consumer rights. If maintenance is conducted at licensed repair shops with proper invoices, 4S dealerships cannot subsequently deny warranty claims using "unauthorized maintenance" as an excuse. Vehicle maintenance, also known as automotive servicing, refers to periodic preventive work involving inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment or replacement of certain components. It primarily covers engine systems, transmission systems, air conditioning systems, etc., aiming to maintain vehicle cleanliness, proper technical conditions, hazard elimination, failure prevention, and extended service life.

Are Station Wagons Higher Off the Ground Than Sedans?

In most cases, station wagons have a higher ground clearance than sedans. The advantage of station wagons is that they combine the comfort and handling of a sedan with the rear cargo capacity of an SUV. Station Wagon Models: Station wagons are considered a niche model in the domestic market, much like pickup trucks. Although they are not as restricted as pickups, they still haven't gained widespread popularity over the years. In countries like Europe and the US, station wagons are practically a must-have family vehicle. Station Wagon Cargo Space: The rear seats can be fully folded down, creating an enormous trunk space that can be fitted with a mat. Without exaggeration, this space can accommodate two adults lying flat. If all the seats are folded down, it essentially leaves only the driver and front passenger seats.

Should the Multi-Rib Belt Be Replaced Along with the Pulleys?

The multi-rib belt needs to be replaced along with the tensioner pulley. Inspection and Replacement of Automotive Belts: During each maintenance service, it is necessary to check the belt tension and wear condition. Even if everything appears normal, the belt should generally be proactively replaced at around 80,000 kilometers. Importance of the Engine Belt: The engine belt is the most critical belt in a vehicle, connecting components such as the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. When the belt develops fine cracks, it should be replaced immediately. If it breaks, it can lead to the alternator failing to generate electricity, power steering failure, and difficulty in steering, which is a highly dangerous situation.

Can out-of-town licensed motorcycles operate in Foshan?

When carrying a passenger, the weight distribution between the front and rear wheels changes, and the braking distance increases. In such cases, use the rear brake more frequently.
