What does the Tiguan L leaf mean?
2 Answers
Tiguan L leaf refers to the in-car air quality, generally indicating particulate matter. Try smoking a cigarette inside the car, and it will soon turn red, with the number soaring to over 90. It seems to turn green when the value is below 30. Causes of in-car air pollution: In-car air pollution refers to the poor air quality inside the vehicle due to lack of ventilation, car interior decoration, and other reasons. The main sources of in-car air pollution come from the car body itself and decorative materials, among which toxic substances such as formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene have the most severe pollution consequences. Mainstream car models with carcinogenic in-car air: In September 2012, a "Healthy Car Testing Report" indicated that 11 mainstream car models might pose carcinogenic risks, with companies such as Changan, Chery, Shanghai General Motors, and Brilliance listed. The carcinogenic risk originates from the presence of carcinogens in the in-car air quality.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Tayron for several years and often encounter the issue of leaves clogging the air conditioning grille. It refers to the accumulation of fallen leaves at the vehicle's air intake, especially during autumn and winter when there are more falling leaves that can easily block it. Once clogged, the airflow from the AC becomes less smooth, the air inside the car worsens, and it may even cause the fan blades to jam. Once during a long-distance trip, I noticed the AC making strange noises, and upon checking, found the blades full of leaves. I had to use a small brush to clean them out. I recommend owners regularly inspect the front part of the engine bay to clear accumulated leaves and avoid long-term impacts on cooling efficiency. Additionally, leaves may accumulate near the wipers, and not cleaning them in time could lead to motor burnout. Overall, this isn't a design flaw of the vehicle but more of a routine maintenance matter. Developing a habit of cleaning is key—after all, the Tayron performs well, so don't let minor issues affect the driving experience.
