The Tiguan L 4WD is not a full-time four-wheel drive; it is an on-demand four-wheel drive. Below is relevant information: Four-Wheel Drive: As the name suggests, four-wheel drive means all four wheels of the vehicle can receive driving force. This way, the engine's power is distributed to all four wheels, making it less likely for the wheels to slip on poor road conditions and significantly improving the vehicle's off-road capability. On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive: On-demand four-wheel drive only switches to four-wheel drive when appropriate, remaining in two-wheel drive under other circumstances. The system automatically switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes based on the vehicle's driving conditions, without requiring manual operation. On-demand four-wheel drive differs from part-time four-wheel drive, which requires manual switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and full-time four-wheel drive, which operates in four-wheel drive under all conditions.

Can Traffic Police Detect Fake License Plates on Motorcycles?

Traffic police can detect fake license plates on motorcycles. As motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, if a motor vehicle is found to have a fake license plate, the traffic police have the authority to impound the vehicle, impose a 15-day administrative detention, and deduct 12 points from the driver's license. The vehicle can be returned to the owner after providing legitimate proof or completing the necessary procedures. Below is relevant information about motorcycle customs documents: Definition: The shipping order is a document issued by the shipping company to the shipper upon accepting the shipping application, instructing the captain to load the goods onto the ship. It serves as the basis for loading and is also the document used by the cargo owner to declare export goods to customs, also known as the customs document. Time to obtain customs documents: It typically takes about 10 working days to receive the customs documents for imported vehicles. For parallel imported vehicles, it is essential to confirm the completeness of all vehicle-related documents, including the customs document, inspection certificate, and conformity certificate, before proceeding with the purchase transaction.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series 525li?

The actual fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series 525li is 8.0-10.9L/100km. The currently available BMW 5 Series 525li models include the 2022 Luxury Package and M Sport Package, both with an official NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. In the same class, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 6.7-10.4L/100km, the Cadillac CT6 7.1L/100km, the Volvo S90 6.7L/100km, the Lincoln Continental 8.5-8.7L/100km, and the Volkswagen Phideon 6.8-7.1L/100km. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Details are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights will increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger engines typically produce more power and require more gasoline to combust and perform work. Heavier vehicles also have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to combust, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at lower temperatures, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.

Why does a tire leak air without a puncture?

Tire leaks can occur due to poor repairs, aging rubber of the valve stem, or the valve core not being reset after checking tire pressure. These conditions can lead to slow air leakage. Tires naturally lose air over time because a perfect seal between the tire and the wheel rim is impossible. Factors like thermal expansion and contraction, as well as vibrations during use, cause very slow air leakage through the gaps between the rim and the tire. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Pay attention to the tire's expiration date: The sidewall of the tire has a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date, with the first two digits representing the week and the last two the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers in mileage. 2. Monitor the sidewall: As tire rubber ages, deep cracks may appear on the sidewall. However, as long as the sidewall hasn't been impacted and the cords remain intact, the tire can still be used. The triangular marks on the tire sidewall can help locate a raised area in the tread grooves, indicating the actual wear limit of the tire. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.

How often should the spark plugs of Qashqai be replaced?

It is recommended to consider replacing the spark plugs of Qashqai after the mileage exceeds 40,000 kilometers. Under normal maintenance conditions, car spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, due to differences in brands and engines, it may vary. It is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. When removing them, check for leaves, dust, etc., on the outside and make sure to clean them thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Install the removed high-voltage distributor wires in the ignition order and snap the cover back on.
