Installing a shark fin antenna yourself has no impact on vehicle operation. Below are specific details about shark fin antennas: 1. Introduction: Shark fin car antennas utilize internationally leading electronic technology. Compared to traditional telescopic antennas, whip antennas, and window antennas, shark fin antennas feature a fashionable, dynamic, and eye-catching design while integrating powerful automotive electronic functions such as FM, GPS, and GSM. They perfectly blend "style" with "functionality". 2. Function: Shark fin antennas leverage the properties of electronic discharge to direct static electricity to the antenna's tip for release. Regardless of installation position, they effectively reduce surface static on the vehicle. 3. Types: There are functional antennas and decorative antennas. The former requires connection to the vehicle's internal wiring to replace and surpass traditional rod antennas; the latter can discharge static electricity and enhance signals.

How often should the spark plugs of the Tiguan be replaced?

The spark plugs of the Tiguan should be replaced every 35,000 kilometers or every 48 months. The function of the spark plugs is to introduce the pulsed high voltage electricity generated by the ignition coil into the combustion chamber, using the electrode to generate sparks to ignite the air-fuel mixture and complete combustion. In terms of configuration, the Tiguan is equipped with an ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. The Tiguan has a body length of 4506mm, width of 1809mm, height of 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. Its engine has a maximum horsepower of 150Ps, maximum power of 110kw, and maximum torque of 250nm.

What is the safe distance between two vehicles in meters?

The safe distance between two vehicles varies depending on the speed, as detailed below: High-speed driving: When the speed is above 100km/h, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. Fast driving: When the speed is above 60km/h, the safe distance should be numerically equal to the speed; for example, at 80km/h, the safe distance is 80 meters. Medium-speed driving: When the speed is around 50km/h, the safe distance should not be less than 50 meters. Low-speed driving: When the speed is below 40km/h, the safe distance should not be less than 30 meters. Very slow driving: When the speed is below 20km/h, the safe distance should not be less than 10 meters.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Model Y?

The minimum ground clearance of the Model Y is 150mm. Minimum ground clearance: Refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding wheels) and the supporting surface when fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Impact of minimum ground clearance on vehicles: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Is it necessary to maintain the car at a 4S shop?

It is necessary to maintain the car at a 4S shop. If the vehicle is still under warranty, it is recommended to choose the 4S shop for maintenance. The car maintenance items include: 1. Check the working condition of the engine, whether the engine sound is normal and whether there is any abnormal noise; 2. Check whether the coolant content is in a normal state; 3. Check the wear degree of brake pads and tires, as well as the tire pressure condition; 4. Check whether there are scratches or corrosion on the chassis components; 5. Check the remaining amount of power steering fluid and whether there is any oil leakage at the oil pipe interfaces. The main purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean and tidy. Under normal technical conditions, it can eliminate some hidden dangers of the car, prevent accidents, slow down the aging process of car parts, extend their service life, and ensure the normal operation of the car.
