Tiguan L rearview mirror adjustment method is as follows: 1. Adjust the seating position: Under normal driving conditions, the driver should not be visible in the central rearview mirror. For the vertical position, align the distant horizon to the center of the mirror. 2. Left side mirror adjustment: Position the horizon at the midline of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the vehicle body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 3. Since the driver's seat is on the left side, visibility of the right side of the vehicle is less convenient, and for roadside parking needs, the right side mirror should have more ground area visible, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror's surface. For the horizontal position, adjust so the vehicle body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. 4. During normal driving, without turning the head and only moving the eyes, the driver can see approximately 200 degrees ahead, with about 160 degrees remaining out of sight. The left, right, and central rearview mirrors provide an additional 60 degrees of visibility.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors on the Tiguan L is actually quite simple, and I have my own preferred method. Before driving, sit up straight to ensure the driver's seat is comfortable, as posture is crucial for visibility. Then, locate the button panel on the door—there's a small switch marked L and R, where L adjusts the left mirror and R adjusts the right. Press the corresponding button, then use the joystick to move the mirror up, down, left, or right. Adjust the left mirror to show a bit of the rear corner of the car and the road in the distance, while the right mirror should be slightly higher to cover blind spots. In winter or rainy weather, remember to use the heating function to prevent fogging—the button is nearby. Make it a habit to regularly check if the mirrors are loose and wipe the mirror surface when washing the car. This ensures safer and more convenient lane changes and reversing while reducing the risk of accidents.

Is the Infiniti FX35 prone to high failure rates?

Currently, the Infiniti FX35 does not have a high failure rate. It is an important SUV model under the Infiniti brand, with excellent after-sales service, and generally does not encounter major issues in daily use. It offers great value for money, as luxury SUVs in the same category are slightly more expensive. Its engine and transmission are the biggest highlights, providing very fast acceleration. The Infiniti FX35 is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine. The FX series is particularly notable for combining the appearance of an SUV and a sports car, making it very unique among its peers. With its distinctive design, powerful performance, luxurious interior, and exceptional safety features, the Infiniti FX series is often referred to as the "supercar of SUVs." It comes with dual-zone automatic climate control, an onboard navigation system, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, featuring a total of 11 speakers. Beneath its sleek exterior, it utilizes the same FR-L second-generation FM chassis as the M35/45, FX, and G coupe models. Compared to the first generation, it has a wheelbase of 2885mm, with more balanced weight distribution between the front and rear of the body, enhancing handling convenience.

What is the difference between direct injection and hybrid injection in cars?

The differences between them lie in their different principles, advantages, and functions. Here are the specific details: Different principles: The hybrid injection engine combines multi-point electronic fuel injection and direct injection, resulting in the hybrid injection technology. It is a fuel supply system composed of both direct injection and manifold injection. Direct injection technology is a relatively new engine technology that has developed in recent years. It involves moving the fuel injector from the intake manifold to the inside of the cylinder, where fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber to mix with air, enabling smooth and efficient combustion. Different advantages: The hybrid injection engine can improve work efficiency and also avoids the emission issues caused by excess oxygen in direct injection engines under low-load conditions. During combustion, direct injection technology creates an air layer that insulates heat, reducing heat transfer to the cylinder walls and minimizing heat loss, thereby enhancing the engine's thermal efficiency. Different functions: The purpose of hybrid injection is to combine the advantages of manifold injection and direct injection technologies to address the problems associated with traditional direct injection. Direct injection technology is quite mature; the key feature of a direct injection engine is the immediate injection of fuel at high pressure into the combustion chamber of the cylinder. The engine can automatically adjust the timing of valve opening while also regulating the amount of air entering the cylinder.

Is driving at 105 km/h in a 100 km/h speed limit considered speeding?

Driving at 105 km/h on a highway with a 100 km/h speed limit is considered speeding. Here are some relevant details about highway speeding: Speeding: Driving at 105 km/h in a 100 km/h zone means you are exceeding the speed limit by 5%. According to traffic regulations, this will not result in any penalties, as the rules clearly state that exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% only warrants a warning. Therefore, exceeding by 5% will result in a warning but no points deduction or fine. Speedometer Measurement: Regarding speed measurement, the speedometer is required by regulation to display a speed not less than the actual speed. As a result, car manufacturers adjust the displayed speed to be slightly higher, typically by 3 to 14 km/h. Whether 105 km/h is considered speeding depends on the specific vehicle. It is best to rely on the speedometer—if it does not exceed the posted speed limit, the actual speed will also not exceed it. Additionally, the speed displayed by radar detectors ("electronic dogs") or the vehicle's built-in navigation system may differ, but they generally follow the same principle as the speedometer.

Where to Add Antifreeze?

The antifreeze is added to the radiator, which can be seen by opening the engine hood. The method for replacing antifreeze is as follows: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. Antifreeze flows through the five-way hose and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this section, replace the hose or resecure the connection as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir so that it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will be slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Don't forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the fluid level will drop. Add more antifreeze until the reservoir reaches the maximum mark "MAXT".
