As a seasoned Touran driver, I used to be bothered by the dashboard maintenance reminder too, but later figured out a simple way to clear it. First, park the car in a safe place and turn off the ignition. Locate the small button on the dashboard, usually labeled 0.0 or reset, and hold it down. Then, turn the key to the power-on position without starting the engine. A prompt will appear on the screen—wait a few seconds before releasing the button. After resetting, the reminder will disappear. I recommend performing this operation regularly, and never delay routine maintenance. The Touran is a great car, but neglecting upkeep can lead to part wear and unsafe driving. Developing good habits saves unnecessary trips to the repair shop, saving time, money, and giving peace of mind.

Where Are the Car Sensors Located?

Car sensors are generally located inside various components. For example, the tire pressure sensor is located inside the car's wheels, the fuel sensor is positioned within the engine, the coolant sensor is situated inside the radiator, and the oil sensor is typically found beneath the engine. The function of car sensors is to convert various operational conditions during driving—such as speed, temperature of different mediums, and engine operating conditions—into electrical signals transmitted to the computer, ensuring the engine operates in its optimal state. Characteristics of sensors: miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multifunctionality, systematization, and networking. They not only facilitate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries but also contribute to the establishment of new industries. Miniaturization is based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, which has been successfully applied in silicon devices to create silicon pressure sensors. Sensor structure: Sensors generally consist of four parts—sensitive element, conversion element, signal conditioning circuit, and auxiliary power supply. The sensitive element directly senses the measured quantity and outputs a physical signal with a definite relationship to the measured quantity. The conversion element transforms the physical signal from the sensitive element into an electrical signal, while the signal conditioning circuit amplifies and adjusts the electrical signal output by the conversion element. Both the conversion element and the signal conditioning circuit usually require power supply from the auxiliary source.

Can Cars Be Modified?

Cars can be modified, but it should be noted that no unit or individual is allowed to assemble motor vehicles or arbitrarily alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle, including changing the vehicle model, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification code. Installing windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, front and rear anti-collision devices, or adding interior decorations to a motor vehicle requires applying for modification registration. According to motor vehicle registration regulations: If the modifications do not affect safety or the identification of the license plate, the owner does not need to apply for modification registration. Examples include small and micro passenger cars adding front and rear anti-collision devices, or freight vehicles installing windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc., as well as adding interior decorations. When modifying a car, pay attention to the following points: Do not blindly pursue expensive parts: In fact, parts should be selected based on the actual condition of the vehicle. Do not blindly pursue excessive audio functions: Some believe that additional car audio features, such as wireless remote controls or multi-disc changers, are better. However, the audio head unit is the core determinant of sound quality, while speakers, crossovers, amplifiers, and enclosures are crucial for good sound. Other auxiliary features offer little actual improvement in sound quality. Do not overemphasize soundproofing: Some demand extreme soundproofing, even to the point of not hearing the engine. However, if the driver cannot hear road or powertrain sounds, they lose critical feedback on road and vehicle conditions, compromising safety. Do not blindly pursue visual effects: Installing oversized exhaust pipes or spoilers for appearance may be meaningless for small-displacement vehicles. Some even remove bumpers and replace them with decorative components. In a collision, the lack of bumper protection can cause severe damage to both the car and passengers.

What Causes the Failure of Car Power Window Switches?

Car power window switch failure can be caused by aging and deformation of the glass sealing strip, dirt or foreign objects in the window lifting guide rail, motor malfunction, low battery power, or window regulator failure. Issues with the glass sealing strip: Aging, excessive dirt, or deformation of the glass sealing strip (including inner trim strips) can create resistance when raising or lowering the window. Generally, if the strip is aged or deformed, it is best to replace it with a new one, or simply clean it. Solution: Spray some dashboard wax or apply talcum powder (for lubrication) on the glass sealing strip, which usually yields good results. Dirty window lifting guide rail: If the window lifting guide rail is too dirty, it can also cause lubrication issues. Solution: Clean the window lifting guide rail and apply lubricating grease to eliminate the problem. Low battery power may also lead to difficulty or failure in window operation. When raising or lowering the window with the engine off, the power is drawn from the battery. If the battery is low on charge, window operation may become difficult. Window regulator failure: Window regulator malfunction, improper glass sealing strip, including guide rail failure, cable failure, or slider failure, etc. Solution: The only remedy is to replace the window regulator.
