Как перевести мили в километры?

1 миля равна 1,609344 километрам, а 1 километр — 0,62137119 милям.

Где я могу узнать идентификационный номер транспортного средства Mercedes-Benz?

Место размещения идентификационного номера транспортного средства зависит от марки и типа транспортного средства. Номер может быть выбит на раме транспортного средства или указан на номерном знаке. Чтобы узнать место расположения идентификационного номера транспортного средства лучше всего ознакомиться с руководством по эксплуатации Mercedes-Benz G500 (2007).

Что такое идентификационный номер транспортного средства (VIN)?

Идентификационный номер транспортного средства — уникальный для каждого транспортного средства идентификационный номер. Аббревиатура VIN расшифровывается как «Vehicle Identification Number» (Идентификационный номер транспортного средства).

Когда транспортному средству Mercedes-Benz требуется техническое обслуживание?

Регулярное техническое обслуживание необходимо всем транспортным средствам. С информацией о том, как часто необходимо проходить техническое обслуживание и чему именно стоит уделять особое внимание можно ознакомиться в инструкции по техническому обслуживанию.

В чем разница между топливом E10 и E5?

В топливе E10 содержится до десяти процентов этанола, в то время как в E5 содержится менее пяти процентов. Соответственно, топливо E10 менее вредит окружающей среде.

Одна или несколько дверей не открываются изнутри. Что мне делать?

Скорее всего, замок оснащен защитой от детей и поэтому не может быть открыт изнутри. Процедура открытия замка с защитой от детей зависит от марки и типа замка.

Автомобильный радиоприемник не включается, что делать?

Если автомобильный радиоприемник не включен, на него не будет подаваться питание. Убедитесь, что красный провод подключен к контактному источнику питания, а желтый провод — к источнику питания постоянной мощности.

На зеркале управление воротами гаража, в подлокотнике не пойму о чем речь

Я тоже слышал, что эти кнопки отвечают за дистанционное открывание гаражных ворот, но ворота одни — кнопки три… алгоритм не ясен. В подлокотнике активная кнопка с красной подсветкой с буквой » i «…

Я езжу на Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG (W463)

На трое ворот можно настроить. Если машина для США, другие частоты.

Здесь представлены статьи из инструкции по техническому обслуживанию и ремонту немецких полноразмерных внедорожников Гелендваген (G-Class, код W463), который выпускался с 1999 года по 2018 год. В данном руководстве описываются автомобили с бензиновыми (объем 3.2, 5.0 и 5.5 литра) и дизельными (объем 2.7 и 4.0 литра) двигателями. Также вы найдете пошаговые инструкции по ремонту таких элементов автомобиля Мерседес G-класса, как автоматическая коробка передач, систем полного привода, подвески, тормозной системы и бортового элетрооборудования.
