It is suitable to drive on the highway after the new car has run for 1000 kilometers. The engine speed should not be too high, avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and try to maintain a constant speed. If the new car is in the break-in period, high-speed driving, long-distance driving, and fully loaded driving should be avoided. The break-in period is the basic mileage to ensure that the mechanical parts fully contact, friction, and adapt. During this period, the ability of various parts of the car to adapt to the environment can be adjusted and improved, and the protrusions on the parts can be worn off. For a car in the break-in period, it is necessary to control the driving speed and not to drive too fast. After the break-in period, the speed and engine speed can be gradually increased to the maximum speed allowed by the vehicle, and do not press the accelerator pedal too hard to ensure that the pistons, cylinders, and other important parts increase the load in a moderate state.

How to Set Up the Anti-Pinch Function for the Tiguan's Windows

Tiguan window anti-pinch function setup method: Raise the window to the top, release the switch, then pull the switch twice consecutively. The anti-pinch function has weak force on the first attempt, stronger force on the second, and becomes inactive on the third. Additional details: 1. The window anti-pinch function is a safety feature in vehicles, where the electric window glass automatically stops or reverses direction when encountering resistance during closing, preventing injuries and ensuring passenger safety. 2. The electric window anti-pinch works by monitoring the motor's current; if resistance causes the current to exceed the limit, the motor reverses. Avoid testing this function with hands or head to prevent accidents. 3. Window anti-pinch technology operates through "tactile" and "visual" systems. The tactile system stops the window when it detects an obstacle, while the visual system, a more advanced optical control setup, monitors the window's movement range for obstacles without requiring physical contact, thereby controlling the glass movement.
