The maintenance manual for the Tiguan specifies that the brake fluid should be replaced every 35,000 kilometers or 48 months. Precautions for using brake fluid are as follows: 1. Do not mix different types or brands of brake fluid, as differing formulations can reduce the performance of the brake fluid. 2. Replace or filter the brake fluid promptly if it absorbs moisture or contains impurities, as this can lead to insufficient braking pressure and affect braking performance. 3. If the vehicle has been driven for 40,000 kilometers or the brake fluid has been in continuous use for over 2 years, it may deteriorate due to prolonged use and should be replaced immediately. 4. If the braking feels inconsistent during normal driving, replace the brake fluid promptly. Before replacement, clean the braking system thoroughly with alcohol. 5. If the vehicle pulls to one side during braking, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the braking system. If the brake cylinder cups are found to be excessively swollen, this may indicate poor-quality brake fluid. In such cases, replace the brake fluid with a higher-quality product and also replace the cups.

Why does the Haojue Yuexing have high fuel consumption?

The reason for the high fuel consumption lies in the use of an outdated engine. In the scooter motorcycle segment, although Haojue is a relatively good domestic brand, it has not seen much improvement over the years, and the engine has consistently been using older models. Therefore, high fuel consumption is a very normal phenomenon. Additionally, scooter motorcycles inherently consume more fuel than cross-type and underbone motorcycles. Below are some related details: Fuel consumption: The fuel consumption is approximately 3 liters per 100 kilometers, and for some riders who drive faster, it may reach around 3.5 liters. Compared to other motorcycles, this is relatively high. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Low tire pressure can increase fuel consumption by about 15%. Additionally, engine oil and spark plugs can also contribute to higher fuel consumption. The best approach for engine oil is to use thicker oil in warmer weather and switch to thinner oil in colder conditions. Therefore, using the appropriate engine oil can help reduce fuel consumption.

What does an exclamation mark in the steering wheel mean?

The appearance of an exclamation mark in the steering wheel indicates the Electric Power Steering (EPS) warning light, which disappears immediately after the engine starts. The Electric Power Steering system (EPS) is a power steering system that directly relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. Compared to the traditional Hydraulic Power Steering system (HPS), the EPS system offers many advantages. The EPS mainly consists of a torque sensor, vehicle speed sensor, electric motor, reduction mechanism, and Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The Electric Power Steering system has evolved from the traditional mechanical steering system. It uses the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in steering operations. The system is primarily composed of three major parts: signal sensing devices (including torque sensor, steering angle sensor, and vehicle speed sensor), steering assistance mechanism (electric motor, clutch, reduction transmission mechanism), and electronic control device. The motor operates only when assistance is needed. When the driver operates the steering wheel, the torque and steering angle sensors generate corresponding voltage signals based on the input torque and steering angle. The vehicle speed sensor detects the vehicle speed signal, and the control unit issues commands to control the motor operation based on the voltage and speed signals, thereby generating the required steering assistance.

What Are the Five Major Signs Before a Car Tire Blowout?

The five major signs before a car tire blowout are as follows: 1. Tire sidewall cracks: Not all problems with tires are concentrated on the tread; the sidewalls can also develop issues. By observing visible cracks and cuts on the tire sidewalls, these small grooves indicate potential future air leaks or even worse, tire blowouts. These tire failures should be avoided at all costs. 2. Tread wear indicator bars: These are flat rubber bars embedded vertically in the tread grooves. When one or two indicator bars become occasionally visible during tire inspection, it means the tread depth has significantly reduced. In such cases, extra caution is needed when driving on wet or slippery roads. If almost all indicator bars are clearly visible, it's time to replace the tire as soon as possible. 3. Excessive vibration and shaking: There are many causes for vehicle shaking, such as axial misalignment or imbalance in the tires, or issues with shock absorbers. However, shaking can also indicate internal tire problems. Even if the tire isn't the root cause of the shaking, the vibration can damage tire performance, leading to tire issues soon after. 4. Tread depth: The tread depth must be greater than 1.6 mm. If you frequently drive on low-friction wet roads, it's best to ensure the tread depth is twice this value. A specialized gauge can be purchased to measure tread depth accurately. 5. Bulges and blisters on the tire: In some cases, the tire's outer surface may develop bulges or blisters due to insufficient strength, similar to aneurysms in blood vessels. If the vehicle isn't taken to a repair shop promptly to check for tire faults, these weakened areas on the tread can lead to sudden blowouts.
