You can use pliers or go to a repair shop to use specialized tools to open it. Below is more information about the car engine oil cap: 1. Reasons: Due to negative pressure and being screwed too tightly, as air cannot enter under negative pressure, leading to excessive suction, making it difficult to unscrew the oil cap. Additionally, the oil cap might be too tight, and you can wait until the car has cooled down before opening it. The second scenario where it cannot be opened by hand may require tools like pliers. 2. Function: It isolates the engine oil from the air, covers and seals the cylinder head, keeps the oil inside, and prevents contaminants such as dirt and moisture from entering.

The correct steps for parking and turning off the engine in the Tiguan L are: 1. Engage the P (Park) gear before stopping; 2. Activate the electronic parking brake; 3. Finally, turn off the engine. Relevant information about the car's gears is as follows: 1. The P gear is the parking gear, used when parking and turning off the engine. The P gear has a locking mechanism that locks the transmission's final drive gear, effectively locking the wheels indirectly.

After engaging the N gear, pressing the accelerator pedal will not move the car. Unlike the P gear, the N gear does not have a locking mechanism to secure the gears.

What are the dimensions of the Changan CS75 Plus seat cushions?

The Changan CS75 Plus seat cushions come in two sizes: the rear seat backrest is 132 cm long and 49 cm wide, while the front seat backrest is 60 cm high and 52 cm wide. Installation method for front car seat cushions: There are one or two buckles on the connected part of the car seat cushion. Simply insert the buckles of the car seat cushion into the gaps of the seat by hand, then hook the two small rings at the front of the cushion under the metal bar of the seat. Pass one end of the buckle through the middle gap of the seat and under the seat, then lock it with the other end of the buckle. The front seat cushion installation is now complete, and the same method applies to the other front passenger seat. Installation method for rear car seat cushions: First, observe how the rear long seat is installed in the car. There are essentially two types: one with buckles and one without. For seats without buckles, you can simply pull the long seat out with force. For seats with buckles, press the buckle before pulling the long seat out. Some seats are fixed to the car body with screws, in which case you need to remove the screws to separate the long seat from the backrest. Once the long seat and backrest are separated, you can pass the long cushion through the buckles on the car seat cushion from underneath and secure it. Then, you can slip the backrest cover onto the headrest of the back seat. Finally, reinstall the long seat.
