Precautions for replacing the battery in the Tiguan: 1. During disassembly, remove the negative terminal first, then the positive terminal; during installation, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal to avoid short circuits. 2. When disconnecting the battery's positive and negative terminals, ensure the grounding wires do not touch any metal parts. 3. After installing the new battery, start the car and then turn it off, wait for ten minutes, and check if the vehicle operates normally. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm. The Tiguan features front-wheel drive, a front MacPherson strut independent suspension, a rear multi-link independent suspension, and electronic power steering.

When replacing the battery in my Tiguan, as a seasoned driver who has owned this car for years, I've summarized some key insights. First and foremost, safety is paramount: the engine must be turned off, the key removed, and all electronic devices such as lights and air conditioning switched off to prevent electric shock or short circuits. Before starting, wear gloves and use insulated tools. The order of disconnecting the battery is crucial—first the negative terminal (black cable), then the positive (red cable)—to avoid spark risks. When installing the new battery, reverse the order: connect the positive cable first, then the negative. Choosing the right battery requires checking the manual for matching specifications, ensuring correct capacity and voltage (e.g., a common 12V 70Ah battery). A mismatch can lead to starting difficulties or electrical damage. Modern Tiguans have many electronic systems, and you may lose ECU settings like radio presets or window calibration, so using a backup power supply to temporarily maintain data is advisable. After installation, check that the terminals are securely fastened to prevent future issues. Finally, start the car to ensure everything works properly. Regular battery health checks can prevent unexpected failures.

What are the body dimensions of the S60?

The length, width, and height of the S60 are 4715 mm, 1866 mm, and 1481 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2856 mm. This is a mid-size sedan. Below are the detailed specifications of the S60: 1. The new domestically produced version of the S60 is not a lengthened model. Non-lengthened models offer better handling, lighter weight, but sacrifice rear passenger space. Many brands lengthen their models for the domestic market, as Chinese consumers place high importance on rear passenger space. 2. The domestically produced S60 is equipped with a T5 engine, which is a high-power version of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Volvo may later introduce an S60 with a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The T5 engine in the new S60 delivers 245 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 rpm and maximum torque between 1500 to 4800 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8AT transmission. 3. The 8AT transmission in this car is sourced from Aisin, one of the world's top three transmission suppliers. Aisin transmissions are known for their reliability and durability. The S60 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

How to Deal with Gear Shifting Jerk in Manual Transmission?

When lifting the clutch to the semi-engaged position, ensuring the engine speed matches or slightly exceeds the clutch disc speed can effectively avoid jerking. Here are two methods to solve the gear shifting jerk in manual transmission: 1. Pause briefly when lifting the clutch to the semi-engaged position (this passively absorbs the speed difference); 2. Slightly press the accelerator while lifting the clutch to add a bit of throttle (this actively reduces the speed difference). Although the clutch lifting process is quick, it still takes some time. During this time, the engine speed continues to drop. Therefore, the clutch should be lifted slightly in advance, not just when the speed drops to the target level, otherwise it will cause lag.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the A4?

Currently, there are 17 models of the Audi A4 available for sale. The quattro version has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, while other versions have a capacity of 56 liters. This data is provided by the car manufacturer, and owners of the Audi A4 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Audi A4 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.1 to 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 795 to 918 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

How to Quickly Remove Static Electricity in Winter?

Methods to remove static electricity are as follows: 1. Pay attention to the material of your clothes. Synthetic fiber clothing is more prone to generating static electricity, so avoiding synthetic fibers can reduce static buildup. Wearing cotton socks can also decrease the accumulation of static electricity in the body. Woolen clothing is another common factor causing static electricity. 2. Maintaining indoor humidity can reduce static electricity, or washing your hands before going out can also remove static. The ideal humidity level is around 45%-65%. 3. Wash your hands and face after using a computer or TV to remove static electricity. 4. The simplest and most effective method is to buy a pair of anti-static gloves and wear them. 5. Taking a shower can remove static electricity from the body, allowing the static charges on the skin's surface to be released in the water. 6. In places where static electricity might occur, touching a small metal object can eliminate static, preventing further shocks when touching things with your hands. 7. Drinking more water and supplementing with calcium and vitamins can mitigate the effects of static electricity, so people who regularly eat vegetables, fruits, and yogurt are less likely to be affected by static. 8. Opening a car door is when you are most vulnerable to static shocks; keeping a battery in your pocket and touching it can absorb the static. 9. Before opening a door, touching a wall with your hand can disperse the static electricity carried by your body, preventing shocks from the door handle.

Can ETC be attached to the black dots?

The ETC device can be installed on the black dots of the windshield, as long as it does not obstruct the driver's view and can sense the detection equipment of the toll station. However, installing it on the black dots of the windshield also has drawbacks, namely that the solar charging capability of the ETC device is weakened, and over time, it may run out of power. The installation position for small car ETC is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave window strip. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered when installing the ETC, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally, it does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may easily block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it casually: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal rod connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal rod in. If the tag is removed casually, the anti-removal rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause payment failure.
