Internal combustion vehicles have come a long way in the 135 years since Carl Benz first produced the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. But even with generations of performance and technological enhancements, gasoline-powered engines are still very inefficient and contribute an unsustainable amount of greenhouse emissions, even in their most advanced configurations. Some people even believe that the standard engine may be nearing a practical limit of what's possible for consumer automobiles. But a rapidly rising tide of EV and hybrid production and adoption has shown us that...

Mercedes-Benz drivers love the experience their car or SUV provides when in motion. However, the ability to adequately stop that motion is perhaps even more important. Poor brake performance can be hazardous to you and other drivers and significantly impact your confidence behind the wheel.

And that makes preventative brake maintenance a vital component of routine maintenance, as it can help mitigate problems before they arise.

When should you have your brakes inspected or replaced?

It's a simple concept, but the battery in your Mercedes-Benz has a strenuous job. It not only starts the engine but also powers the interior and exterior lights, advanced driver-assistance technologies, infotainment, HVAC system, and more. And it does all that while continually being recharged by the alternator. Still, the battery can be easy to take for granted because it's usually out of sight.

But due to their high friction coefficient, these parts resist sliding and wear down extremely quickly without lubrication. Oil creates a thin film between these parts, allowing them to move freely. In the complete absence of

Their concept may seem simple at first, but as the only point of contact between you and the road, your Mercedes-Benz's tires are integral to its optimal handling, efficiency, safety, and comfort. Tires improve ride quality by providing a degree of cushion and allowing the wheels to roll smoothly and turn quickly. And their tread ensures traction and athletic performance by gripping the road. Additionally, the tread's voids and grooves direct water away from the tire's contact patch, enabling it to maintain its grip in wet conditions.

Good all-purpose tires are pretty durable and can last
