Mercedes-Benz A200L makes noise when braking due to the running-in of new cars, normal activation of the ABS system, and metal hard spots on the brake pads. Running-in of new cars: New cars or newly replaced brake discs and pads will have a running-in period, during which some abnormal noises are inevitable. These noises usually disappear after running a few hundred kilometers. Normal activation of the ABS system: During emergency braking, the brake pedal will make a continuous "thud thud thud" sound, and sometimes there will be a bouncing sensation. This indicates that the ABS system is activated, which is a normal sound. At this time, you can press the brake pedal firmly to the bottom, but this only applies to vehicles equipped with an ABS system. Metal hard spots on the brake pads: There may be some small metal particles inside the brake pads, which will produce a sharp and harsh sound when lightly braking. This problem can be solved by stepping on the brake pedal hard several times, removing the brake pads for re-grinding, or replacing them with better-quality brake pads.

Can a car start after being parked for 3 months?

In this situation, the car generally cannot start and requires a jump-start. Below is relevant information: 1. Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Jump-start: Jump-starting (English: jump-start; also called boost) or cross-starting is a method of connecting another vehicle's battery or an external power source to a vehicle with a depleted starting battery to start the vehicle. After the vehicle starts, its normal charging system can recharge the battery, allowing the auxiliary power source to be removed. As long as the vehicle's charging system is functioning properly, the normally operating vehicle will restore the battery's charge.

What Causes the Delayed Shifting in AT Transmissions?

Automatic transmission slow shifting response is caused by: contaminants inside the transmission, high transmission temperature leading to deteriorated transmission fluid, resulting in lubrication and temperature control issues. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Automatic Transmission; An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on vehicle speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmissions. Currently, there are four common types of automotive automatic transmissions: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission. 2. Core Function: The core of an automatic transmission lies in achieving automatic gear shifting. Automatic gear shifting means that while the vehicle is in motion, the driver operates the accelerator pedal as needed, and the automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions.

How Long is the Shelf Life of Synthetic Engine Oil?

National regulations clearly stipulate that under sealed conditions, engine oil generally has a shelf life of up to 5 years, and fully synthetic engine oil also falls within this range. However, once opened, engine oil deteriorates more rapidly and is best used within one year. Expired engine oil should not be used as its chemical composition may have altered, potentially causing adverse effects on the engine. Methods to determine if fully synthetic engine oil has deteriorated are as follows: 1. Color: Fully synthetic engine oil should appear clear, semi-transparent, or transparent. If oxidized, the color may change. Additionally, if the oil's transparency decreases, it indicates deterioration. 2. Smell: If the oil emits a sour or foul odor, it has deteriorated. If noticeable changes in viscosity (thinning or thickening) are observed and the consistency becomes uneven, the oil should no longer be used.

What types of vehicles can a B1 driver's license drive?

B1 license holders are permitted to drive medium-sized passenger vehicles, including urban buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 passengers, vehicles that can be driven with a Class C license, and vehicles allowed under an M license. The B1 license does not cover B2, meaning it does not permit driving trucks. Medium-sized passenger vehicles are defined as those with a length of less than 6 meters and a seating capacity between 9 and 20 passengers. The following circumstances disqualify applicants from upgrading to a B1 license: 1. Driving under the influence of alcohol; 2. Having a record of driving under the influence of alcohol during the current scoring cycle and the three consecutive scoring cycles prior to application; 3. Committing speeding violations exceeding 50% of the speed limit during the current scoring cycle and the three consecutive scoring cycles prior to application, without the driver's license being revoked.

Which is Better: Independent Suspension or Non-independent Suspension?

Here are the specific differences between independent suspension and non-independent suspension: 1. Structure: In an independent suspension system, each wheel is individually connected to the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. In contrast, non-independent suspension connects both wheels via a solid axle, which is then attached to the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. 2. Advantages: Independent suspension offers benefits such as lighter weight, reduced impact on the overall body, improved wheel traction, and greater comfort compared to non-independent suspension. Non-independent suspension, on the other hand, is simpler in design, lighter in weight, takes up less space, and is stronger than independent suspension. 3. Applications: Independent suspension can be further divided into types like MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, and others. Most modern passenger cars use independent suspension systems, making them more widely used than non-independent suspension. Non-independent suspension typically includes torsion beam, trailing arm, and leaf spring types, and is mainly found in cost-sensitive passenger cars, as well as in trucks and buses.
