Tiguan brake pads are typically serviced every 20,000 kilometers, but if the brakes are used less frequently, maintenance can be extended to every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. The conditions for brake maintenance are as follows: 1. Based on the wear of the brake pads: If the brake pads wear down to one-third of their original thickness, it indicates that they should be replaced. 2. Brake fluid replacement: Brake fluid, like other lubricants, has a shelf life and needs to be replaced periodically. Information about car brakes is as follows: 1. Brakes: As the name suggests, they are mechanical braking devices that can slow down the vehicle, also known as decelerators. 2. Method: The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc, slowing or stopping the vehicle.

How to Use Car Turn Signals for Left and Right Turns?

Turn the signal lever "up" for right turns and "down" for left turns. Specifically, pushing the lever upward (clockwise) activates the right turn signal, while pulling it downward (counterclockwise) activates the left turn signal. Detailed rules for using car turn signals are as follows: 1. While driving, if your lane is congested and you need to change lanes, check via the rearview mirror whether the adjacent lane is clear. Without obstructing vehicles in other lanes, first activate the corresponding turn signal before changing lanes. 2. When making a U-turn, activate the left turn signal and carefully observe for any oncoming vehicles in front or behind before proceeding. 3. On road sections without a solid centerline, when overtaking, activate the left turn signal and sound the horn. If being overtaken, yield by moving to the right. 4. When needing to pull over, first activate the right turn signal and observe the traffic situation to the right rear of the vehicle before pulling over. 5. When leaving a parking spot, first activate the left turn signal and observe the traffic to the left rear before merging into the traffic lane.

What is the speed limit on roads without a center line?

When driving a motor vehicle on urban roads without a center line, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Do not exceed speed limit signs: Motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: On roads without a center line, urban roads have a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour, while highways have a speed limit of 40 kilometers per hour. On roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, urban roads have a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour, while highways have a speed limit of 70 kilometers per hour. Maximum driving speed: When encountering any of the following conditions, the maximum speed of a motor vehicle must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and for tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special-purpose machinery, the speed must not exceed 15 kilometers per hour: when entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; when making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes.

What Needs to Be Replaced in a Car During Winter?

Winter car maintenance requires the following replacements: 1. Engine Oil: Winter demands higher lubrication standards for cars. If summer-grade oil is being used, it must be replaced. Oil that has been used for an extended period, turned black, or lost its adhesive properties should also be replaced to ensure smooth engine starts. 2. Antifreeze: The amount of antifreeze must be appropriate. Different regions and car models require attention to the antifreeze's freezing point and type. Antifreeze older than two years should be replaced, and mixed antifreeze must be replaced annually. 3. Battery: Ensure the battery's electrolyte level is adequate, ideally submerging the plates by 10 mm. Also, check the electrolyte's specific gravity and maintain proper charge. An undercharged battery is highly susceptible to cracking in extreme cold. 4. Brake System: Monitor the brake fluid level and quality. Top up or replace as necessary. 5. Wheel Alignment: Winter roads are prone to ice and snow, and materials like rubber, metal, and plastic harden in low temperatures, making the control system heavier and reducing road feedback. Incorrect wheel alignment can significantly compromise safety.

English abbreviation for Land Cruiser fuel pump relay?

The English abbreviation for the Land Cruiser fuel pump relay is PMR, which stands for Pump-Motor-Relay. The fuel pump relay controls the power supply to the fuel pump. In modern vehicles, which are generally direct-injection or electronic fuel injection, the relay disconnects the fuel pump once the fuel supply meets certain requirements, thereby controlling the fuel pump's operation. More details are as follows: 1. Relay location: The fuel pump relay is usually located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. If not found there, check the fuse box in the driver's compartment. The cover of the box is labeled, making it easy to identify the fuel pump relay. Once located, remove the relay. The terminals below are connected to four wires, with two thinner wires serving as control wires (controlling the fuel pump operation). Of these two thin wires, one connects to the engine ECU, while the other is either a power or ground wire (different vehicles may have different configurations—some ECUs use high potential, others low potential). 2. Relay switching principle: A relay functions both as a control switch and as the controlled object (actuator). Taking the fuel pump relay as an example, it acts as the control switch for the fuel pump. However, the relay coil only forms a circuit when the driving transistor in the ECU is turned on, completing the path through the ECU's ground connection.

How many years is the validity period of a driver's license?

The validity period of a driver's license is six years. After the six-year validity period expires, it will be replaced with a ten-year validity period driver's license. Those who meet the conditions may also be issued a long-term valid driver's license. Driver's License: The full name of a driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license." It is a license required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." Renewing a Driver's License: Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of the current driver's license. If a motor vehicle driver fails to renew the license within one year after its expiration, the driver's license will be automatically revoked by the system.
