When I used to drive a Tiguan, I often needed to lift the wipers to replace the blades. The method is quite simple: first, turn off the engine to ensure safety. Then, gently push down once on the wiper stalk located on the right side of the steering wheel, as if you were activating the wipers, but immediately turn the key to shut off the ignition. The wipers will automatically stop in the middle of the windshield, allowing you to easily lift them up and hold them steady from the base. Remember not to do this while the car is running or the wipers are in motion, as it can easily scratch the glass, and in winter, it may freeze and get stuck. Regularly checking the wiper blades extends their lifespan and saves on repair costs.

Many people discuss the Tiguan's wipers, and I have a tip to share. The steps are quite straightforward: after parking and turning off the engine, move the wiper control lever to the lowest position to simulate the startup state, then immediately turn off the power. The system will automatically enter service mode, and the wipers will stop at the midpoint, allowing you to lift them steadily. Avoid rushing during the process to prevent glass pressure damage. It's recommended to check the wipers monthly, clean dirt at the base to avoid rust and jamming. Proper maintenance can enhance driving visibility and safety.

Operating the Tiguan's wipers to stand up is not complicated. After turning off the vehicle, press the wiper lever downward once to immediately cut off the power, then release it when the wipers stop in the middle of the windshield, and gently lift them from the bottom. Ensure the car is completely turned off before operating to avoid damaging the motor or windshield. Doing this regularly allows for replacing the rubber blades or clearing snow.

What is the proper tire pressure for a sedan?

For small cars, the normal standard tire pressure is between 2.2-2.5 bar. Below is an introduction about tire pressure: 1. Normal range: The appropriate tire pressure is between 2.3 2.7 BAR. In summer, when temperatures are high, the tire pressure may rise above 3.0 BAR after driving, so a summer tire pressure value between 2.3 2.5 BAR is more suitable. 2. Over-inflation: Over-inflation reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; makes tires more susceptible to punctures from sharp objects like nails or glass, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, and potential tire bursts. 3. Under-inflation: Increases friction with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing risks to driving safety; increases movement in various tire parts, leading to abnormal heat generation from excessive rolling; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength, which can cause blowouts during high-speed driving; under-inflation increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, ply fatigue, and cord breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Where are the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals located in a car?

In a car, the clutch pedal is on the left, the brake pedal is in the middle, and the accelerator pedal is on the right. Below are some precautions regarding the operation of the accelerator and clutch pedals. 1. Starting: When starting a manual transmission car, it is essential to use the clutch properly. The key points for operating the clutch pedal during starting are: quick initial lift, slow adjustment when reaching the semi-engagement point, and coordinated movement. Initially, lift the clutch pedal quickly, then slow down the lifting speed when the semi-engagement state is reached. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine resistance to ensure a smooth start. Mastering this technique helps avoid stalling the engine while driving. 2. Gear shifting while driving: When shifting gears during driving, the clutch pedal must be pressed. The clutch pedal should be pressed and released quickly without lingering in the semi-engagement state, as this can accelerate clutch wear. Pay attention to coordinating the accelerator during gear shifts. Inaccurate coordination between the accelerator and clutch may result in jerky gear shifts, causing wear to the car's transmission and reducing ride comfort. Some experienced drivers use the double-clutching method during gear shifts, but this is not recommended for novice drivers. 3. Pressing the clutch when stopping: The clutch should be pressed when stopping the car in daily driving. Not using the clutch when stopping can easily lead to stalling, cause impact on the transmission, and in severe cases, affect the engine's lifespan, increasing the owner's maintenance costs. Proper use of the clutch ensures smooth and stable stopping.

What is the function of an automotive oil filter?

Automotive oil filter is used to: filter the engine oil, improving its cleanliness and lubricity, thereby reducing engine wear and ensuring optimal performance. The automotive oil filter, also known as the oil filter, operates similarly to the circulatory system of the heart—the oil in the oil pump continuously circulates, during which many impurities are generated, requiring the oil filter to remove them. Recommended replacement interval for automotive oil filters: replace every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers driven. It is advisable to replace the oil filter every time the engine oil is changed because contaminants in the old oil filter can reduce the viscosity and cleanliness of the new oil, affect oil circulation speed, and potentially damage the engine.

What is the fault when the excavator safety lock is opened but there is no action?

Excavator safety lock opened but no action fault diagnosis. Check hydraulic oil level: Blocked hydraulic circuit suction filter, oil circuit suction vacuum (including excessively low hydraulic tank oil level) can cause insufficient oil suction or even failure to draw oil in the hydraulic pump. These will directly lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit, resulting in no movement of the excavator. This type of fault can be diagnosed by checking the hydraulic tank liquid level and the contamination degree of the hydraulic oil. Check if the hydraulic pump has malfunction: Hydraulic excavators generally use 2 or more main pumps to supply pressurized oil to the system.

Does the Classic Sylphy have ESP?

Classic Sylphy does not have ESP. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which helps maintain optimal vehicle stability under various conditions, particularly effective in cases of oversteer or understeer. More information about ESP is as follows: 1. The ESP system is essentially a traction control system. Compared to other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the drive wheels but also the non-drive wheels. 2. For example, in rear-wheel-drive vehicles that often experience oversteer situations where the rear wheels lose control and cause the car to fishtail, ESP will brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the vehicle. In cases of understeer, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction.
