Mercedes-Benz cannot turn on the high beam in automatic mode because the vehicle has a high beam obstacle setting. Below are two methods to enable the high beam: 1. Manual Activation (1) Start the engine. Then rotate the lighting switch to the [Low Beam/High Beam] position and push the combination switch past the pressure point. 2. Activation via the Intelligent Light Control System (1) Enable the Intelligent Light Control. Press the left or right button on the left side of the steering wheel to select the [Settings] menu. Press the up or down button on the left side of the steering wheel to select the [Lighting] submenu. Press the middle [OK] button to confirm. Press the up or down button on the left side of the steering wheel to select [Intelligent Light Control]. When [On] or [Off] appears, select [On], then press the middle [OK] button.

I've encountered similar issues with my Mercedes-Benz several times, mainly concerning the automatic high beam system which turns on/off based on environmental conditions. The Mercedes automatic function works via cameras and sensors on the windshield - when detecting sufficient streetlight brightness or other vehicles, it automatically switches high beams to avoid dazzling others. However, if the sensors get dirty or are obscured by tree shadows, the system may misjudge and fail to activate high beams. Additionally, not setting the light control stalk to auto position or outdated software could also cause malfunctions. Personally, I solved the problem after cleaning the sensors. I recommend regularly wiping the cameras and checking system settings. If issues persist, it's best to visit an authorized dealership for specialized circuit diagnostics to ensure night driving safety.

Can You Still Drive with a Tire Pressure of 196?

Tire pressure of 196 is not safe to drive with, and the driver should refill the tires as soon as possible. Below are the normal range of tire pressure and precautions for checking tire pressure: Normal Range of Tire Pressure: The standard tire pressure varies because different vehicles have different recommended tire pressures. Taking family cars as an example, under normal circumstances, the tire pressure should be maintained within the range of 2.2 to 2.6. Precautions for Checking Tire Pressure: As the weather starts to get hotter in May, it is recommended to check whether the tire pressure is normal. Special attention should be paid to the fact that as long as the tire pressure is not significantly higher than the standard range, there is no need to deliberately reduce the tire pressure. If the tires are not underinflated, there is no need to adjust them every month.

Do 7-seater vehicles need to go on the inspection platform every few years?

Seven-seater vehicles require platform inspections. For new vehicles within 6 years, inspections are required every 2 years. After that, inspections are required once a year for the next 15 years, and then twice a year thereafter. After 20 years, inspections are required four times a year. Vehicles registered after September 1, 2010, are exempt from inspection within the first 6 years. New regulations for seven-seater vehicle annual inspections: Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are included in the exemption range. For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency is adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Documents required for annual inspection: Owner's ID card; original vehicle registration certificate; valid compulsory traffic insurance policy; current year's vehicle and vessel tax payment (or exemption) certificate (the vehicle and vessel tax proof is usually included in the compulsory traffic insurance policy).

Is the white showing through a black car the primer?

Normally, if white is showing through a black car, it is the primer. Correspondingly, if black is showing through a white car, it is also the primer. It is recommended to check the vehicle's user manual, which will provide relevant information. Bumper primer: The primer for front and rear bumpers, if made of plastic, is black; if not made of plastic, there is no primer. Body and door primer: As for the body and doors, basically any color that differs from the body color is the primer. Related knowledge about car paint: The primer for plastic bumpers is different from that of the car body, as the body uses electrophoresis. Waxing can only increase the smoothness of the paint surface and provides minimal protection to the paint film, but it cannot achieve the effect of repainting.

Does a Car Cover Need Waxing?

While a car cover can minimize the need for additional paint care, waxing is still recommended when possible. Although an invisible car cover reduces the necessity for extra paint maintenance, waxing enhances the cover's anti-stain properties, preventing dust and other contaminants from adhering to it, thereby improving both performance and appearance. Below are the functions of a car cover and precautions to take after installation: Functions of a Car Cover: An invisible car cover primarily protects against dust and acid rain while enhancing aesthetic appeal. Its inherent corrosion resistance is stronger than that of waxing. However, acid rain, insect remains, bird droppings, and accumulated dirt can gradually erode the invisible car cover, affecting the vehicle's surface shine. Therefore, even with a car cover, regular cleaning is essential. For frequent use, washing the car once a month is advised, while less frequent use requires cleaning at least every six months. Precautions After Installing a Car Cover: For the first three days after applying an invisible car cover, avoid waxing or permanent polishing. It is generally sufficient to wax the cover once every two months thereafter.
