First, start the car and ensure it is in a state ready for reversing. The driver should press the clutch pedal with the left foot and the brake pedal with the right foot simultaneously. With the right hand, press the gear lever downward from the top; female drivers may need to apply more force, while male drivers only need to exert slight pressure to push the gear lever all the way down without releasing it, then pull it all the way to the left.

What are the four wires of the oxygen sensor?

The four white wires of the oxygen sensor are: 1. The first two wires are heater wires, one positive and one negative; 2. The third and fourth wires are the mainboard's positive and negative signal wires, with one black wire being the signal wire and one gray wire being the signal ground wire. The heater wires refer to the heater coil power supply and ground wire, both connected to the engine's computer, enabling the car's oxygen sensor to enter the working state more quickly. As for the remaining two signal wires, they are connected to the vehicle's power supply and serve to control the air-fuel ratio of the car. The function of the oxygen sensor is to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust and send a feedback signal to the ECU, which then controls the increase or decrease of the fuel injector's fuel supply, keeping the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value.

What are the precautions during the break-in period of the Tiguan L?

Tiguan L's break-in period requires attention to three main aspects: preheating before starting, avoiding emergency braking, and preventing excessive load. Below are detailed explanations: Preheating before starting: For fuel-injected vehicles, before starting, turn the key to the second position and wait for 5-10 seconds before ignition. This is because once the ignition is turned on, the fuel pump begins operating to adjust oil pressure and injection volume. Waiting a few seconds before starting helps protect the new engine. Avoiding emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases impact loads on the chassis and engine. It is advisable to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Preventing excessive load: If a new car operates at full capacity during the break-in period, it can cause damage to mechanical components. Therefore, within the first 1,000 kilometers, domestic vehicles should not exceed 75%-80% of their rated load capacity.

Where is the accelerator pedal located in a car?

In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator pedal is on the right side, while the brake pedal is on the left. There are only two pedals in an automatic car, and both must be controlled exclusively by the right foot. Never use one foot for each pedal. For manual transmission cars, there are three pedals arranged from left to right: the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The left foot controls the clutch pedal, while the right foot manages both the brake and accelerator pedals. A common mistake of confusing the accelerator for the brake often occurs during reversing, as drivers tend to turn their heads to look backward, focusing their attention entirely on the rear, which may cause their right foot to confuse left and right. When not pressing the accelerator, always keep your foot on the brake pedal, regardless of whether you're reversing or not. This way, when reversing, your right foot is already on the brake pedal, and to move the car backward, you must lift your foot from the brake to press the accelerator, thus avoiding the mistake of pressing the accelerator instead of the brake.
