It is normal for the Mercedes-Benz GLA dashboard to remain lit after the engine is turned off. There is a delayed power-off feature for the dashboard, which automatically turns off after the car is locked. If the dashboard remains lit after locking the car, it indicates that the power supply is still on. In this case, simply turn off the power switch and the light switch. Below is more information about the Mercedes-Benz GLA: 1. Central Console: The design of the Mercedes-Benz GLA's central console is familiar, featuring a three-spoke sports-style multifunctional steering wheel, dual-ring gauges, cross-shaped chrome air vents, and an independent central color display, all of which are seamlessly integrated into the GLA. Minor adjustments have been made to the central console lines to match the body design. 2. Powertrain: The gasoline-powered models include the GLA-200, equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, and the GLA-250, which uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. These engines deliver maximum outputs of 156 horsepower and 211 horsepower, respectively. Additionally, the GLA250 offers an optional 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.

What does it mean when the key light flashes on the car?

When the 'key' light flashes on your car, it indicates that the key cannot be detected. If this light stays on or flashes, it means the car's computer is not receiving the signal from the car key, and the engine's anti-theft system is not deactivated, preventing the car from starting. Below are the possible reasons and solutions for this situation: 1. It could be due to a dead battery in the key or a damaged receiver module in the car. You should try to avoid remote control from a long distance during normal use. 2. Here are the solutions: (1) Try placing the key near the ignition switch. If that doesn't work, you can take it to a repair shop or a professional institution or 4S store for diagnosis. (2) If it's just a dead battery in the key, replacing the battery should solve the issue. Additional information: This situation usually occurs in vehicles with a push-button start because the engine cannot properly receive and detect the key data when starting the vehicle without turning the key, triggering the warning.

Does the 2019 Tayron have a particulate filter?

The 2019 Tayron is equipped with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's exhaust system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Diesel engine pollution mainly comes from three sources—particulate emissions, hydrocarbons (HCx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur. Among these, particulate emissions (soot) are mostly composed of tiny particles of carbon or carbon compounds (smaller than 4-20μm). How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals like platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon soot particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon soot particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the 2019 Tayron has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe for a cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Should Be Added During Maintenance?

Small-displacement vehicles require approximately 3.2~3.6 liters of engine oil per maintenance, while larger-displacement vehicles need around 4.5 liters. The specified oil volume varies by manufacturer and model, so always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual. Additional information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine oil is a specialized lubricant used in internal combustion engines, serving functions beyond lubrication, including cleaning, rust prevention, and cooling. 2. Overfilling engine oil can increase the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder walls by the crankshaft and connecting rods, raising crankshaft rotation resistance, reducing engine output power, and increasing fuel consumption. 3. It is advisable to maintain the oil level slightly below the MAX mark on the dipstick. Engine oil dipsticks have upper and lower limits, and the oil level should always be between these two marks.

What does the OBD inspection in vehicle annual inspection mean?

Vehicle annual inspection OBD inspection refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system, which continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed standards. If they do, the system will immediately issue a warning. When a fault occurs in the system, the malfunction indicator lamp or check engine warning light will illuminate, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will store the fault information in memory. Through specific procedures, the fault code can be read from the PCM. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature of the fault. If the OBD light is on, it indicates poor combustion conditions in the vehicle, leading to excessive emissions. When the OBD light is on, the vehicle needs to be inspected and repaired at a 4S shop, as general car owners cannot diagnose the cause of the fault themselves.
