Functions of the interior buttons in the Volkswagen Tiguan: Central control buttons: SYNC is the dual-zone air conditioning switch. Models equipped with this feature allow separate temperature control for the driver and front passenger seats; the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is enabled by default and it is not recommended for drivers to manually turn it off. This system effectively prevents loss of vehicle control during extreme driving conditions. Door buttons: The driver's door features a child lock switch for the rear doors; one-touch up/down window control switches for all four doors; exterior mirror adjustment switches, which include angle adjustment, folding, and heating functions; the trunk release button is located below the door handle. The roof buttons control interior lighting and the sunroof.

I've been driving a Tiguan for five years and am very familiar with the interior buttons. On the left side of the steering wheel are the volume adjustment and track selection buttons, while the right side has the voice control and call answer keys. The row of buttons below the center console controls the air conditioning, with a knob for temperature adjustment, plus/minus buttons for fan speed, and seat heating function. The two small buttons below the air vents are for front/rear windshield defogging, which is particularly useful during winter fogging. The most prominent feature on the door panel is the window control buttons, alongside the mirror adjustment knob - press L or R to select left/right mirrors, with the central knob for angle adjustment. Near the overhead reading lights are the panoramic sunroof controls - a gentle push opens/closes it. The electronic parking brake is conveniently located behind the gear lever.

How is the toll charged for temporary license plates on highways?

Temporary license plates and regular license plates are charged the same toll on highways. However, it's important to note that when using temporary license plates on highways, you must confirm the nature of the temporary plates. If traveling out of the city, you need to display temporary plates with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders, and they must be affixed both on the front and rear of the vehicle to avoid traffic violations on the highway. Precautions for using temporary license plates: 1. Validity period of temporary license plates. Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, which can be 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days. For temporary driving across administrative regions, the validity period does not exceed 30 days. When using temporary license plates, be mindful to avoid expiration. If the temporary plates expire, you need to reapply for new ones, with a maximum of three applications per vehicle. 2. Penalties for running red lights and illegal parking. Whether driving on highways or in urban areas, temporary license plates and regular license plates have the same legal effect. If traffic violations occur, penalties will be imposed accordingly, especially for running red lights, which will result in a 6-point deduction if caught. Drivers are advised not to attempt such violations. 3. Penalties for expired plates. If temporary license plates are found to be expired, the driver will face a 12-point deduction and a fine of 200 RMB. Therefore, drivers using temporary license plates should pay close attention to their validity period.
