Q

Does Mercedes C-Class have the automatic door-locking function?

Yes, Mercedes C-Class is equipped with automatic door-locking function, which is enabled by default. However, you can also enter the vehicle settings menu for personalized customization. Usually, when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 kilometers per hour, the door locks will be automatically activated to ensure driving safety. Additionally, after unlocking the doors with the remote key, if the vehicle isn't operated (including the doors and the trunk) within 1 minute, the system will automatically lock the doors once. But when you park and get out of the car in daily use, if you don't manually lock the doors, the vehicle won't automatically lock. Instead, there's a reminder function, which will sound an alarm when the doors aren't locked, and you can use the remote control at this time. Moreover, if you unlock the doors with the remote control after locking the car but don't open them, the doors will be locked again within 1 minute. If you forget to lock the doors when getting out, there's no such automatic operation. This design helps prevent the keys from being left inside the vehicle.

Latest Q&A

Q
What is the engine of the Toyota Fortuner 2021?
The 2021 Toyota Fortuner offers two efficient and reliable engine options in the Malaysian market. The petrol variant is powered by a 2.7-liter 1TR-FE inline-four with Dual VVT-i, churning out 166 horsepower and 245 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission—perfect for those who prioritize smooth driving and city commuting. On the other hand, the diesel version steps up with a more powerful 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 204 horsepower and a robust 500 Nm of peak torque (in the 6-speed auto variant). This engine’s high torque at low revs makes it especially suited for Malaysia’s hilly terrain and long-distance drives. Both engines feature Toyota’s advanced combustion technology and fuel efficiency optimizations, striking a balance between power output and fuel economy. Notably, the diesel model also comes equipped with a more durable D-4D high-pressure common rail injection system and a variable geometry turbocharger, ensuring the Fortuner maintains consistent performance even in Malaysia’s hot climate and varied road conditions. As a practical seven-seater SUV, the Fortuner’s powertrain design fully caters to Malaysian family users’ combined needs for reliability, versatility, and affordability.
Q
What colors did the 2021 Fortuner come in?
The 2021 Toyota Fortuner offers a range of color options in the Malaysian market, including classic choices like Super White II, Silver Metallic, Graphite Metallic, and Black Mica, as well as bolder picks such as Red Mica and Blue Metallic. These colors cater to both those seeking an understated, professional look and drivers who want to make a more personal statement. When picking a body color, beyond just personal taste, you’ve got to factor in Malaysia’s hot and rainy climate and how it affects the paint. For example, lighter shades absorb less heat in the sun and stay cleaner longer, while darker colors need more frequent upkeep to keep their shine. Also, metallic and mica paints are more scratch-resistant and durable than regular finishes, but they cost more to repair. So, it’s best for owners to choose based on their actual usage conditions and maintenance budget.
Q
What is the fuel consumption of Fortuner 2021?
The fuel economy of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner in the Malaysian market varies depending on engine configuration and driving conditions. The 2.7-liter petrol engine variant has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers, while the more popular 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine version is more fuel-efficient, with a combined fuel consumption of around 7-9 liters per 100 kilometers. Actual figures may fluctuate based on city traffic congestion or highway driving conditions. It's worth noting that as a midsize SUV, the Fortuner's fuel consumption is closely related to its body weight, four-wheel drive system, and driving habits. It is recommended that owners perform regular vehicle maintenance and adopt a smooth driving style to optimize fuel efficiency. Malaysia's hot climate and frequent stop-start traffic conditions may slightly increase fuel consumption, so it is normal for actual usage to be slightly higher than official figures. To further improve fuel economy, consider using the ECO driving mode provided by the manufacturer and ensure tire pressure is maintained at the recommended level.
