Reasons why the left headlight of the Mercedes GLC stays on after parking: Vehicle's Welcome Home function: First is the normal Welcome Home function where the lights remain on for a period after turning off the engine. Under normal circumstances, the Welcome Home function's light delay will not exceed 5 minutes, and this function does not depend on the lighting state before turning off the engine but follows a fixed lighting mode. Regardless of the position of the light switch before turning off the engine, the Welcome Home function will default to turning off the high beams and daytime running lights, only keeping the low beams on. Night parking light is on: Night parking lights were originally a mandatory requirement in some U.S. states, where all vehicles must keep their taillights on after parking and turning off the engine at night to alert pedestrians or following vehicles in environments without streetlights. Most vehicles will only light up one light, specifically the one on the side closest to the road, to indicate the parking position and the edge of the vehicle to following traffic. However, this lighting strategy is generally only applicable to models equipped with LED taillights.

Under what circumstances is cylinder head gasket blowout prone to occur?

Two situations where the mating surfaces are uneven or the bolts are not tightened evenly can easily lead to cylinder head gasket blowout. Below is relevant information about cylinder head gaskets: 1. Introduction: The cylinder head gasket, also known as the cylinder bed, is located between the cylinder head and cylinder block. Its function is to fill microscopic gaps between the cylinder block and cylinder head, ensuring good sealing at the mating surfaces, thereby maintaining combustion chamber sealing to prevent cylinder gas leakage and water jacket coolant leakage. 2. Types: One type is the metal-asbestos cylinder head gasket, which contains metal wires or particles within asbestos and is covered with copper or steel sheets. Another type is made of solid metal sheets, commonly used in high-performance engines, with this type frequently employed in passenger cars and racing vehicles.

How long does the entire Subject 2 test take?

The entire Subject 2 test takes 10 minutes. After entering the examination area and getting into the vehicle as arranged by the staff, you will need to scan your ID card to begin the test. There are a total of five test items, and there is no specified time limit for each individual item. You just need to complete all five items within the 10-minute timeframe. Related information: The Subject 2 test, also known as the small road test, is a part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The main contents of the Subject 2 test include stopping and starting on a slope, making a 90-degree turn, navigating an S-shaped curve, parallel parking, and reversing into a parking space. Before the test, the vehicle management office will provide candidates with a simulation of the test process. The training department of the vehicle management office states that completing the five test items within 10 minutes is reasonable and safe. Additionally, shortening the test time improves efficiency. The 10-minute duration fully meets the operational time requirements for the vast majority of test-takers, as long as candidates remain calm and composed, the time is more than sufficient.

Is the Emission Malfunction Indicator Light Issue Serious?

Generally, the emission malfunction indicator light illuminates due to substandard fuel quality, leading to incomplete combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture. It is advisable to visit a repair station for inspection and maintenance as soon as possible. Below is relevant information: 1. Emission Malfunction Indicator Light: The primary function of the engine emission malfunction indicator light is to monitor the status of the engine's air-fuel mixture through the oxygen sensor. When the air-fuel mixture changes and causes excessive exhaust emissions, the control unit records the fault and illuminates this indicator light to alert the driver. The driver can continue driving, but fuel consumption may increase, and driving comfort may deteriorate. 2. Causes of Illumination: The most common causes include a dirty throttle body, which should be cleaned every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers; carbon buildup on the valves and fuel injectors, which requires cleaning of the intake and fuel systems every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers; additionally, the engine must be maintained strictly according to the manufacturer's requirements, with regular replacement of the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter.
