It is safe to leave the car at the 4S shop after inspection, and there is no need to worry that the 4S shop will secretly replace the car's parts. Relevant information is introduced as follows: The 4S shop does not stop ensuring the quality of the vehicle after selling it. After the car is delivered, subsequent maintenance is also carried out at the shop. Therefore, for customer satisfaction, they would not do such things, as it would directly affect long-term income. Nowadays, 4S shops install cameras at every workstation, and the entire process of maintenance and replacement is fully recorded. If an employee replaces parts on their own, the surveillance footage can be directly reviewed. Moreover, commonly used parts at 4S shops are rarely out of stock, and even if they are, they can be taken from inventory cars for use.

I think it's generally safe to leave the car at a 4S shop and walk away, because authorized 4S stores have professional security guards and CCTV surveillance, making theft or damage less likely in their parking lots. Like me, I usually leave right after the inspection to save time. The key is to choose reputable shops, such as authorized Volkswagen or Toyota service centers. Before picking up the car, I always check for any external damage and take valuables with me to avoid minor issues. In case of any accidents, they have insurance coverage, though the probability is low. Overall, 4S shops are more reliable than roadside parking, so leaving the car there is quite worry-free with minimal risk.

What is the minimum engine displacement required for motorcycles to access highways?

Motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50cc or above are permitted on highways. According to Article 67 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a designed maximum speed below 70 kilometers per hour are prohibited from entering highways. The above regulations do not include motorcycles in the prohibition. Therefore, motorcycles are legally allowed to travel on highways. Below are the requirements for motorcycles on highways: 1. The maximum speed of a motorcycle on the highway must not exceed 80 km/h, and the minimum speed must not be below 60 km/h. 2. When riding a motorcycle on the highway, the driver must carry their driver's license, vehicle registration, helmet, etc., and passengers are not allowed on the back seat. Riding a motorcycle on the highway without even the most basic helmet is highly dangerous.

What are the symptoms of water in gasoline affecting the engine?

If there is water in the gasoline, it will affect the normal combustion of gasoline in the cylinders, leading to symptoms such as abnormal engine shaking, poor acceleration, and difficulty starting the car. 1. Abnormal engine shaking: Abnormal engine shaking is mainly caused by the insufficient mixing and combustion of fuel and gas in the engine cylinders. Reasons include water in the gasoline, severe engine carbon deposits, excessively high engine temperature, and clogged engine fuel lines. 2. Poor acceleration: Gasoline-powered vehicles rely on burning gasoline to drive the engine and move the car. If water is mixed into the gasoline, it essentially cuts off the power system at the source. Naturally, the vehicle will exhibit symptoms of poor acceleration. 3. Difficulty starting: When water is mixed into the gasoline, the spark plugs have trouble igniting the fuel properly during startup, leading to issues such as difficulty starting the car or failure to start.

What is the introduction to the automatic gear positions of the Volkswagen Tiguan L?

Volkswagen Tiguan L automatic transmission models have gear positions P, N, R, D/S. The shifting methods are as follows: D is the drive gear. Follow the prompts to press the brake, hold the side button on the gear lever, and push the lever down smoothly. S is the sport gear, the most powerful gear position. The shifting operation is similar to the D gear. To disengage the S gear, pull the gear lever back again. (No need to press the brake at this time.) N is the neutral gear. Press the side button with your thumb and push the gear lever forward smoothly. R is the reverse gear. Move the gear lever to the position marked with the letter R. P is the parking gear. Press and hold the "P" button on top of the gear lever. Manual mode: First, shift the gear to "D," then move the gear lever to the right in this position. Push the lever up to shift up and pull it down to shift down. Gear selection for different road conditions: Uphill slopes require more torque than usual, so it is recommended to use "D-" to reduce speed and increase torque. Some slopes are not very steep, and a gear position that is too low will waste power. In this case, use "+-" to shift up in time. When encountering a steep slope, even after downshifting, the vehicle may still lack power. In this case, use the S gear in sport mode. For downhill slopes, it is recommended to use "+-" to shift up. Use gear 3 for gentle slopes and gear 2 for steep slopes to protect the brake pads from premature wear. Gears 2 or 3 can meet the power demand without requiring the high torque of gear 1. If you notice the vehicle gradually accelerating downhill uncontrollably, use "D-" to downshift promptly to enhance the engine braking effect.

What is the difference between tire pressure warning and tire pressure display?

Tire pressure display and tire pressure warning differ in that the tire pressure display allows you to visually see the tire pressure, while the tire pressure warning is just an alarm system that alerts you when the tire pressure is too high or too low. Abnormal tire pressure can occur for the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. Simply reset the tire pressure in this case. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving due to impact, it can also trigger the tire pressure fault light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
