The method to turn on the heater in the Tiguan L is as follows: 1. Press the one-touch start button on the vehicle to start the engine; 2. Turn on the air conditioning switch and press the AC button; 3. Turn off the air conditioning cooling switch to activate the warm air. The Tiguan L is a compact SUV produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. In terms of power, the Tiguan L is equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, which deliver excellent performance in both power and fuel efficiency. The matched 6-speed manual transmission and Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission can better utilize the power.

Turning on the heater in the Tiguan L is actually quite simple. After starting the vehicle, don't rush to drive off—I usually wait a few minutes to let the engine warm up first. Locate the temperature knob on the center console, marked with red and blue zones. Turn it clockwise to the red area to activate the heating mode. Then press the adjacent fan button to turn on the blower—starting with a low fan speed and gradually increasing it helps avoid excessive noise. If your Tiguan L has automatic climate control, pressing the AUTO button makes temperature regulation even more convenient. When using the heater, I prefer to start with recirculation mode to quickly warm up the cabin, then switch to fresh air mode to prevent window fogging. In winter, avoid blasting the heater immediately after cold starts to prevent excessive carbon buildup in the engine. Regular maintenance, like checking the cabin air filter for blockages, ensures optimal performance. With frequent use, you'll quickly get the hang of it.

Will I be fined if one brake light is broken?

Driving with a non-functioning brake light may result in a warning or fine. Here are specific details about brake lights: 1. Introduction: Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle, with red as the main color to enhance light penetration. This ensures that following vehicles can easily detect when the front vehicle is braking, even under low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. 2. Principle: Power passes through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the switch connects, sending electricity to two brake lights and one high-mounted brake light, completing the circuit through the negative line connected to the vehicle body.

Which Gear to Use When Going Downhill with an Automatic Transmission?

When going downhill with an automatic transmission, you can simply use the D (Drive) gear. Here are some relevant details: Overview: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Gear Introduction: Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Driving an automatic car primarily using P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears can fully meet the needs of general driving. However, in certain special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, by choosing the correct control method, an automatic transmission car can perform even better than a manual transmission car.

Do I need to turn on the parking lights when temporarily parking on the roadside?

Temporary parking on the roadside requires turning on the parking lights. Below is relevant information about temporary roadside parking: 1. Definition: Vehicles briefly stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic on non-prohibited road surfaces without the driver leaving the vehicle. The term "temporary" does not specify a fixed duration. Any brief stop where the driver remains in the vehicle is considered temporary parking. However, if traffic officers or the driver deem it obstructive, the vehicle must move promptly to avoid hindering others. 2. Relevant regulations: Doors must not be opened and passengers must not enter or exit before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Opening doors must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Parking is prohibited in areas with pedestrian guardrails (green barriers), crosswalks, construction zones (except for construction vehicles), and opposite obstacles.

What to Pay Attention to for New Cars in Stock for 6 Months

Identify whether it is a flooded vehicle and check for any unusual odors inside the car. Here is relevant information: 1. Check if there is any musty smell in the air conditioning system: If there is, request a replacement of the cabin air filter. Verify whether the production dates of the window glass are consistent, and inspect the front and rear windshields for signs of replacement, for the same reason as the first point. 2. Examine the vehicle's paint surface for noticeable color differences compared to recently manufactured new cars: Most 4S store parking lots are open-air. Exposure to sun and rain is unavoidable, and acidic rainwater can cause some corrosion to the paint. However, stock vehicles without orders are rarely washed, so the condition of the paint will not be ideal.

What Causes Slight Vibration in the Car Seat at Idle?

The reasons for slight vibration in the car seat at idle are: 1. The throttle is dirty or the fuel injector has excessive carbon deposits. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean mixture during cold starts; 2. Poor performance of the ignition system or suboptimal spark plug firing conditions; 3. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor; 4. Aging engine mounts. Engine mounts are essentially the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during engine operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations will be transmitted to the steering wheel and the interior of the car, causing shaking at idle.

What are the reasons for the trunk not closing without applying force?

The reasons for the trunk not closing without applying force are as follows: 1. Overly stiff spring rods: To ensure the rear hatch automatically lifts when the opening switch is pressed, excessively stiff spring rods are used; 2. Rubber stops and locking mechanism: The rubber stops and locking mechanism are not properly matched; 3. Control circuit: Malfunction in the trunk control circuit; 4. Hydraulic support rods: Failure in the trunk hydraulic support rods. In fact, when facing a trunk that won't close, applying force will only cause more damage. The correct approach is to drive the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. The trunk is used for daily transportation, and during travel, it often carries a large number of items. This easy-to-maintain trunk compartment is even suitable for storing food and beverages.
