Reasons why the car cannot shift gears after starting: There is a fault inside the gear lever assembly, the gears inside the gear lever are worn out, causing the gear lever to jam, making it very difficult to pull back and forth; the P-gear locking solenoid valve in the gearshift lever has malfunctioned, or the brake switch is faulty; the clutch does not fully disengage, which may be caused by the failure of the clutch disc and the clutch pressure plate, usually requiring the replacement of the clutch three-piece set; the battery is leaking, and insufficient power prevents starting. Identifying the cause of the fault: If a Mercedes-Benz car cannot start, the first step is to identify the cause of the fault. For diagnosing faults such as the engine failing to start, the battery should be checked first. It is essential to determine whether the engine's failure to start is due to insufficient battery power. Then, check the starting system. First, inspect the circuit in the engine starting system. From the most basic composition, the circuit of the starting system generally includes the following fundamental parts: the battery, the starter motor, and the cables connecting these components. Important parts of the starting system: Of course, in addition to these, the ignition switch, the starter relay or solenoid coil, and the vehicle anti-theft system are also important components of the starting system.

Is the Focus Steering Gear Oil Leak Scary?

An oil leak in the Focus steering gear can lead to heavy steering, unusual noises, and veering while driving. In more severe cases, the steering gear may fail completely, posing a significant safety hazard. If you notice small oil stains on the ground where you park, the steering gear oil leak has reached a relatively serious level, and it is advisable to visit a repair shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Below is an extended introduction to the issue: Causes of Oil Leakage: Most oil leaks are caused by the corrosion and aging of oil seals. Particularly in older vehicles, sealing rubber components can harden, shrink, or even break over time. Therefore, oil leakage is inevitable, and it is recommended to seek professional and formal repair shops for maintenance or replacement. Non-standard repair shops may cause other potential issues due to installation technical problems.

What is the maximum speed limit when driving downhill?

When driving downhill on steep slopes, turning, or making U-turns, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Here are more relevant details: 1. Regarding uphill driving: When parking on an uphill slope, apply the brakes slightly later than on flat roads. This is because the vehicle's speed naturally decreases due to slope resistance when driving uphill, resulting in a shorter braking distance compared to flat roads. Therefore, braking should be slightly delayed compared to flat road conditions. 2. Normal driving: During regular driving, the service brake (foot brake) is typically used to slow down or stop while moving forward. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (handbrake) should be applied to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward.

Is it safer to park in an underground garage or on the road during heavy rain?

Parking on the ground is generally safer during heavy rain, as underground garages may be at risk of flooding. However, this depends on the adequacy of the garage's drainage system. Below are some key points regarding vehicle water exposure: 1. Do not restart the engine: If the engine stalls during water exposure, immediately activate the hazard lights, turn off the engine, and remove the key. Never attempt to restart the engine, as this can cause severe and irreparable damage, which may not be covered by insurance. 2. Ensure vehicle sealing: If the vehicle is stationary in a flooded garage or parking lot, lock the car and avoid starting the engine. Take all possible measures to seal the vehicle effectively.
