When the TC light on the dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the traction control system is active. During vehicle acceleration, if the system detects an excessive speed difference between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, the computer will immediately determine that the driving force is too high and send a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels. Another common indicator is the VSC light, which stands for Vehicle Stability Control system. This system significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the vehicle can quickly detect these conditions and take appropriate braking measures, such as individually controlling each tire while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability.

What are the consequences of using 92 octane gasoline in a Tiguan?

If a Tiguan uses 92 octane gasoline, it may result in reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption. The turbocharged engine in the Tiguan can experience knocking when using 92 octane gasoline. Additional information is as follows: 1. Gasoline octane rating: Different grades of gasoline have varying octane ratings. Higher-grade gasoline has a higher octane rating, and gasoline with a higher octane rating is more stable. 2. Hazards of using the wrong gasoline: Most cars with turbocharged engines require high-octane gasoline because turbocharged engines operate at higher internal temperatures and pressures. Using low-octane gasoline can easily cause engine knocking. Knocking occurs during the compression stroke. During the compression stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves of the engine are closed, and the piston moves upward to compress the air-fuel mixture. The temperature and pressure of the compressed mixture increase. If the gasoline is not stable enough, the mixture may ignite prematurely. Premature ignition of the mixture pushes the piston downward while it is still moving upward, affecting the engine's power output and fuel economy. Severe knocking can even lead to piston fracture or connecting rod deformation.
