The rear wiper switch for the Tiguan L is located on the wiper control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. See that small knob with a ring at the end of the lever? It's usually turned off when parked. When driving, if you want to wipe the rear window, twist the knob counterclockwise—the first position is for intermittent wiping, another twist switches to continuous wiping, and twisting it all the way will activate the washer fluid along with wiping. Return it to the neutral position to turn it off. On clear days with little dust, avoid keeping it on too often to prevent wear on the wiper blade. Also, a reminder: if there's ice on the rear window, never force the wiper—use an ice scraper first to avoid scratching the glass, which would be a costly mistake.

Why Should You Avoid Replacing the Half Shaft Oil Seal for Oil Leaks?

This is mainly due to issues with the installation techniques of some repair shops and the quality of the half shaft oil seals. Many vehicles experience even worse oil leakage from the gear oil in the transmission and front/rear axles after replacing the oil seal. As a result, many people believe that replacing the seal leads to more severe leaks, making it better not to replace it at all. More details are as follows: 1. Reasons for repairing a leaking half shaft oil seal: The oil seal prevents oil from seeping or leaking. 2. Consequences of not addressing the issue: If left untreated, it will accelerate the loss of gear oil in the transmission and front/rear axles, leading to increased wear and tear on gears and components over time, ultimately causing damage. Whether it's a half shaft oil seal or any other oil seal, leaks must be repaired; otherwise, the leakage will only worsen.

What are the precautions for driving on highways at night?

Precautions for driving on highways at night: pre-trip vehicle inspection, proper use of lights, speed control, avoiding fatigue driving, not stopping arbitrarily, and paying attention to highway signs. Here are the specific precautions: Pre-trip vehicle inspection: Although there are service areas on highways, it is inconvenient to handle a breakdown or even a threat to road and personal safety once the vehicle malfunctions during the journey. Therefore, it is necessary to check the vehicle condition before the trip. For long-distance driving, key areas to inspect include whether the tire condition is good, whether the lights are functioning properly, whether the fluids are sufficient, and in the rainy autumn season, the condition of the windshield wipers should also be checked. During long-distance driving, when people get out of the car to rest, the car should also be given time to rest, and the condition of important components should be monitored at all times to prevent problems before they occur. Proper use of lights: After dark, vehicles should turn on their headlights and rear fog lights. Regarding the use of high beams, the main point is to turn them on only when there are no vehicles ahead or approaching from the opposite direction. If an oncoming vehicle is detected, the high beams should be turned off. Regarding the use of lights for overtaking, when you intend to overtake, you should signal with the left turn light when the distance is about 80 meters, turn off the high beams, and flash the high beams when about to overtake. When a vehicle is overtaking from the left, you should also turn off the high beams and turn them back on after the vehicles are 100 meters apart. When driving at high speeds, high beams are necessary, and you should not be overly hesitant to use them. Speed control: The speed on highways at night should not be too fast, generally not exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. If the speed is too high, the use of high beams can be troublesome, as you need to protect your own visibility while also considering the visibility of surrounding vehicles. This becomes even more dangerous in bad weather. At high speeds, encountering construction or accidents can easily lead to instinctive blind driving, which is not conducive to traffic safety. Avoiding fatigue driving: During the journey, listening to refreshing music, staying hydrated, and taking timely breaks can help alleviate driving fatigue. Not stopping arbitrarily: If you encounter an emergency and need to stop on the highway, you should first consider whether you can make it to the service area. If not, you should stop on the emergency shoulder, turn on the hazard lights to warn following vehicles, avoid unnecessary movement of passengers, and maintain a safe distance. If the issue cannot be resolved quickly, you should promptly contact a tow truck via emergency phone and find a way to evacuate. Spending the night on the highway and figuring things out the next day is risky and not allowed. Paying attention to highway signs: If the navigation system can alert you to road construction and other situations, it is most convenient. However, if the road conditions are not updated in time, you should pay more attention to roadside signs while driving. Road construction and detours can affect the quality of the trip, and once you pass a point on the highway, you cannot turn back. Planning the trip in advance and scheduling driving time can ensure travel safety, and driving at night requires extra care to protect your own life.

What is the purpose of a motorcycle balance shaft?

Motorcycle balance shafts utilize the counter-vibrational force generated by eccentric weights to achieve optimal engine balance and reduce engine vibrations. Below is an introduction to balance shafts: 1. Overview: Balance shaft technology is widely applied in motorcycle engines. Its simple yet practical structure effectively mitigates overall motorcycle vibration, enhancing riding comfort. This article provides a brief introduction to the principles of balance shaft technology and its application in motorcycles. 2. Vibration Principle: During the engine's operating cycle, the piston moves at extremely high speeds with significant speed variations. At the top and bottom dead center positions, the piston's speed is zero, while reaching maximum velocity at mid-stroke points. The piston's rapid reciprocating linear motion within the cylinder generates substantial inertial forces on the piston, piston pin, and connecting rod. Counterweights on the connecting rod can effectively balance these inertial forces. However, the connecting rod's counterweight only partially balances these forces - some moving masses participate in linear motion while others rotate. Except at the dead center positions, various inertial forces cannot be completely balanced, resulting in engine vibration.

Where to Apply for an ETC Card?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide their original valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate, along with copies. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card must also be provided. The copy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a credit card application form is required, as the credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, the applicant can swipe it twice and present the POS receipt to a designated service point to receive and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle registered under their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which refers to the electronic toll system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide their original valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate, along with copies. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card must also be provided. The copy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting expressway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle registered under their name. Below are some important notes for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If the ETC is installed without considering this, it may increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove the device once installed: The adhesive button in the middle is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper rod in. If the device is removed, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. In such cases, you will need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing the same device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by the malfunction of the ETC device of the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic toll deduction for the preceding vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to toll deduction failure. If using a debit card to bind the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
