I think turning off the rear wiper of the Volkswagen Tiguan is quite simple, and those with more experience will know. Usually, when you're in the driver's seat, look at the wiper control stalk on the right side, next to the steering wheel. The rear wiper switch is integrated there, and the general operation is to push the stalk up or down—the specific direction depends on your model year, but most of the time, pushing it back to the neutral position will turn it off. If I forget to turn off the rear wiper during a long drive, the wiper blade keeps scraping the glass, wasting battery and wearing out faster, so I have to pull over to adjust it. It's also important to regularly check if the wiper blades are worn to avoid sudden failure. If the stalk operation doesn’t work, it might be a battery issue or a minor system glitch—in that case, check the vehicle manual or simply restart the car. In short, don’t stress; try it a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it. Safety first.

What does the maximum torque speed of 1500-4500 mean?

The maximum torque speed of 1500-4500 means that the engine will produce its maximum torque within the speed range of 1500 to 4500 revolutions per minute. Maximum torque refers to the highest torque value across the entire engine speed range, typically measured in N·m (Newton meters). The engine speed at which this maximum torque occurs is called the maximum torque speed, measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Relevant information about maximum torque speed is as follows: 1. Torque is an important parameter of engine performance, representing the average moment output from the crankshaft during engine operation. 2. Maximum torque generally occurs in the medium to low speed range of the engine, and tends to decrease as the speed increases.

What Does Cylinder Scoring Mean?

Cylinder scoring is one of the common failures in automobile engines. It refers to deep grooves being formed on the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the piston and piston rings to lose their sealing ability when rubbing against the cylinder wall. This results in reduced cylinder compression pressure and loss of power. In severe cases, adhesive wear may occur, leading to difficulties in starting the engine or unexpected stalling. It is a major incident for the engine. The root cause of cylinder scoring is the inability to form an oil film between the cylinder wall and the piston rings or piston, resulting in poor lubrication or even dry friction. Specific reasons for this condition include: 1. Piston ring clearance being too small; 2. Piston pin displacement; 3. Piston-to-cylinder clearance being too small or too large; 4. Severe carbon buildup on piston rings; 5. Severe piston misalignment.

What does the GTE button on the Volkswagen Passat mean?

GTE button refers to the power switching button of hybrid models, and GTE is the suffix name of Volkswagen's plug-in hybrid models. Plug-in hybrid vehicles belong to new energy vehicles, which are different from ordinary hybrid vehicles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can use external power sources to charge the power battery. Precautions for using the Passat GTE: 1. The dual-clutch gear lever of the Passat is located in the center position on the right side of the driver. The key to driving the Passat dual-clutch automatic transmission is the driver's reasonable operation. Before driving, it is necessary to adjust to a proper sitting posture. 2. When the vehicle needs to start, shift the gear into D gear. Note that after lifting the brake, adding a little throttle can help the vehicle start faster. If the vehicle requires low-speed high torque, the gear can be switched to S manual mode. 3. When parking or stopping, shift the gear into P gear and pull up the electronic handbrake. If the vehicle needs to be towed due to a malfunction, shift the gear into N gear to cut off the power.

What does the ABC yellow light mean?

When the ABC yellow light appears on the car, it refers to the Active Body Control system. ABC is the abbreviation for Active Body Control, which is an advanced active suspension system. The Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, developed by Toyota, is an active safety system that significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. Here are some details about the Vehicle Stability Control system: 1. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the Vehicle Stability Control system can quickly detect and take appropriate braking measures, such as individually controlling each tire and reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability. 2. The stability control system evolved from other technologies, such as ABS and traction control systems. When these systems are in operation, they must detect whether a wheel is about to lock up and individually adjust the braking force on that wheel. The stability control system utilizes this technology along with the relevant sensors and computational control units.

What does ILSAC engine oil mean?

ILSAC stands for the International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee, which was jointly established by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Japanese Automobile Manufacturers Association. It is an organization that certifies lubricant product specifications, with its certifications issued by the American Petroleum Institute (API). ILSAC has established gasoline engine oil specifications as GF-1, GF-2, GF-3, GF-4, and GF-5. In addition to meeting all the requirements of API SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN respectively, GF-1, GF-2, GF-3, GF-4, and GF-5 must also comply with the EC energy-saving requirements set by ILSAC. The energy-saving standards are as follows: 1. GF-1 is equivalent to SH plus energy-saving requirements; GF-2 is equivalent to SJ plus energy-saving requirements. 2. GF-3 is equivalent to SL plus energy-saving requirements; GF-4 is equivalent to SM plus energy-saving requirements. 3. GF-5 is equivalent to SN plus energy-saving requirements.
