Generally speaking, driving 500 kilometers on a full tank is considered normal. Here are some tips to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged engine idling: When parked and idling, the engine consumes significantly more fuel than during normal driving. Therefore, it's best to turn off the engine when the vehicle is not in use for extended periods, such as when waiting for someone. During cold starts, warming up the engine should not exceed one minute; maintaining a few minutes of low-speed driving is sufficient. 2. Maintain good driving habits: Smooth and gentle driving is the most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid stomping on the accelerator. The correct method is to accelerate smoothly and maintain a steady speed once a certain velocity is reached. When driving in congested areas, always assess the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking.

Why does the car's air conditioning have no wind in gears 1-3 but has wind in gear 4?

The reason why the car's heater switch only has wind in the fourth gear is due to the burnout of the heater speed control resistor. Below is a related introduction to the car air conditioning system: 1. Introduction to car air conditioning: The car air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. 2. Working principle: When the compressor is working, it sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser and liquefies, turning into a liquid. When the liquid refrigerant flows through the throttle device, its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air passing through the evaporator and evaporates, turning into a gas. The gas is then sucked into the compressor again for the next cycle.

Can vehicles undergo annual inspection in other regions?

Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-provincial inspection services for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly undergo inspection in provinces other than the vehicle's registration location and obtain the inspection qualification mark without needing to apply for an entrusted inspection procedure. However, large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in other regions and must return to the vehicle's registered location for inspection. Annual inspection process: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether the main assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles". Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or transformed; whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle file registrations match the actual condition of the vehicle and whether any changes have been made; whether approval and change procedures have been completed. Check whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate print on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or unclear, and whether replacement is needed. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum number of passengers allowed in the driver's cabin are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear fender (including the trailer's rear fender) has the vehicle number printed in 2~3 times larger size as required; for individual or joint-operation vehicles, check whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door. The print must be clear, and printing unit codes or other patterns is not allowed (special cases require approval from the vehicle management office).

What procedures are required for changing the vehicle frame number?

To change the vehicle frame number, the vehicle owner or their agent must submit the following documents and present the vehicle for inspection within ten days after the change: "Application Form for Vehicle Modification/Registration", the original identity proof of the vehicle owner, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license, and the vehicle inspection record form. If the process is handled by an agent, the original and a copy of the agent's identity proof must also be submitted, along with the original and a copy of the handler's identity proof, and a written authorization from the vehicle owner. The vehicle management office should, within one day of acceptance, verify the vehicle, review the submitted proofs and certificates, annotate the modification on the vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the vehicle license, and reissue a new vehicle license. For the modification registration items specified in Article 10, Paragraph 1, Items (3), (4), and (6) of these regulations, the vehicle management office must verify the vehicle identification number imprint. Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" prohibits any unit or individual from engaging in the following activities: Assembling a motor vehicle or altering the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. Changing the model number, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification number of a motor vehicle. Forging, altering, or using forged or altered motor vehicle registration certificates, license plates, vehicle licenses, inspection qualification marks, or insurance marks.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Tiguan?

The maximum wading depth of the Tiguan is 580mm. The wading depth of the Tiguan is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Tiguan is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting if the vehicle stalls in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water entering the engine. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. For roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and choose an alternative route instead.
