Tiguan does not allow owners to set the maintenance mileage themselves. It is recommended that owners visit a repair shop to connect the 5053 diagnostic tool, enter the instrument options, select matching 10, choose the channel "To Maintenance Maximum Time Value," input the interval time for each maintenance, then select "To Maintenance Maximum Distance Value," and input the interval mileage for each maintenance. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under Volkswagen, with a body length of 4506mm, width of 1809mm, height of 1685mm, a wheelbase of 2684mm, and a luggage compartment volume ranging from 400L to 1530L. The vehicle is equipped with an ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake-force distribution, and ASR traction control system, as well as the PLA intelligent parking assist system and PLA intelligent parking assist system.

Every time I help friends with car settings, I recommend starting from the instrument cluster menu. For the Tiguan, you usually start the engine without driving, then look at the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. There should be a MODE or menu button—press it a few times to find the settings menu, where you'll likely see an option for vehicle maintenance or service items. After entering, you can adjust the maintenance interval. Use the up and down buttons to select the mileage, such as setting it to 7,500 or 10,000 kilometers, depending on your driving habits and the manufacturer's recommendations. Once set, save the changes, and don’t forget to reset this reminder after each maintenance service. Regularly setting the maintenance mileage is crucial to avoid missing service intervals and prolong the car's lifespan, especially for SUVs like the Tiguan. Delayed engine maintenance can lead to issues and costlier repairs. If you can’t find the menu, refer to the maintenance section in the owner’s manual—the step-by-step illustrated guide is quite helpful.

When I used to drive the Tiguan, I often set the maintenance reminder myself. First, sit in the car, turn the power to the ON position without pressing the brake pedal—not fully starting the engine. Then, look for the small wrench icon on the instrument panel, use the steering wheel's scroll wheel to navigate the menu, and find the maintenance settings. After selecting it, you can adjust the mileage interval. The default is 10,000 kilometers, but I usually set it to around 8,000 kilometers because I often drive on rough suburban roads. Once confirmed, the system saves the setting, and the next time you drive, it will display the remaining mileage as a reminder. Regularly setting this helps prevent major issues, avoiding costly repairs at the dealership and unnecessary delays. Developing this habit makes driving much more reassuring.

Where is the Wuling Journey's Cabin Air Filter Located?

The Wuling Journey's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. Below are details regarding the replacement cycle and precautions for the cabin air filter: Cabin Air Filter Replacement Cycle: First, the filter should be cleaned or replaced if necessary. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (dusty roads, etc.). It is recommended to clean it earlier rather than later. The cabin air filter must be correctly installed in its designated position. Operating the air conditioning system without the filter in place may degrade its dustproof performance. It is advisable to replace the cabin air filter twice a year. Precautions for Replacing the Cabin Air Filter: The cabin air filter tends to accumulate a significant amount of dust. Use tools like a rubber air blower or high-pressure air gun to remove loose dust. Never wash it with water, as this can easily render it unusable. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter diminishes. Therefore, you can purchase a compatible replacement filter from the automotive parts market.

What does it mean when the PCS light is on in a car?

When the PCS light is on in the car, it indicates that the Pre-Collision Safety System has been turned off. Here is an introduction to the Pre-Collision Safety System: Principle of Pre-Collision: The Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses a millimeter-wave radar sensor installed at the front of the vehicle. This radar automatically detects obstacles ahead and calculates the likelihood of a collision. If the system determines that a collision is highly probable, it will sound an alarm to alert the driver to take evasive action. At this point, other active safety devices will also be integrated, with Brake Assist (BA) entering a preparatory state to assist the driver in applying the brakes. Function of the Pre-Collision Safety System: The Pre-Collision Safety System can also automatically adjust a series of safety systems, including the Pre-Collision Brake Assist System, Emergency Steering Assist System, and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System, to avoid collisions as much as possible. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it will pre-tighten the front seat belts and activate the brakes to minimize damage.

Where are Trumpchi engines produced?

Trumpchi engines are independently developed in China. Below is an introduction to Trumpchi engines and the Trumpchi GS5 engine: Introduction to Trumpchi engines: GAC Trumpchi engines are independently developed in China. The first batch of Trumpchi engines were imported from Italy, and later they were produced at the GAC engine factory. After domestic production, direct injection and twin spark plugs were removed, but the high-speed performance remains excellent. With features like variable intake valves, variable intake manifolds, and an excellent dual four-spring design, the engine achieves quick and agile response. The Trumpchi engine originates from the Alfa Romeo 2.0 twin-spark engine, and through continuous improvements and R&D, the GAC Trumpchi engine was developed. Trumpchi GS5 engine: The prototype of the Trumpchi GS5 engine is the Alfa Romeo 156 engine, a 1.8 TwinSpark engine. Later, Trumpchi upgraded and modified this engine, redesigning the cylinder head and ignition system while incorporating numerous new technologies. This also made the parameters of the 1.8 VTML engine more powerful than those of the prototype.

Solutions: After the wiper sweeps one or two times, observe whether any scratches are left and check if there is moisture remaining on the windshield. If these signs are clearly visible, it indicates that the rubber blade of the wiper has aged and should be replaced with a new one. If the wiper has been used for an extended period, it is recommended to replace it promptly.

How to Choose Automotive Antifreeze?

Automotive antifreeze selection methods are: 1. Pay attention to the lower the freezing point the better. The basic indicators of antifreeze are freezing point and boiling point. Generally, the selected antifreeze's freezing point should be at least 10 degrees Celsius lower than the local minimum temperature to prepare for sudden weather changes; 2. Emphasize anti-corrosion function. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant. Antifreeze prevents coolant from freezing and expanding to crack radiators or damage engine cylinders when parking in cold seasons. Antifreeze should be used year-round, not just in winter. In regular vehicle maintenance, engine antifreeze should be replaced every year, with higher replacement frequency for special vehicles.
