The correct steps for parking and turning off the engine in the Tiguan L are: 1. Engage the P (Park) gear before stopping; 2. Activate the electronic parking brake; 3. Finally, turn off the engine. Relevant information about the car's gears is as follows: 1. The P gear is the parking gear, used when parking and turning off the engine. The P gear has a locking mechanism that locks the transmission's final drive gear, effectively locking the wheels indirectly. After engaging the P gear, the car cannot move even without pulling the handbrake. 2. Both manual and automatic transmissions have an N (Neutral) gear. After engaging the N gear, pressing the accelerator pedal will not move the car. Unlike the P gear, the N gear does not have a locking mechanism to secure the gears.

I haven’t been driving for long, so I have to be extra careful when parking and turning off the engine. First, find a flat and safe spot to stop, avoiding slopes or uneven roadside areas, and firmly press the brake. Then shift into P (Park) mode—the Tiguan L has an electronic parking brake function, so just gently pull the button to lock it. Turn off power-consuming accessories like the AC and music before shutting off the engine. Don’t rush the process; make sure all windows are fully closed before locking the car. Once this becomes a habit, both the battery and engine will be easier to maintain. After parking, do a quick check—avoid doing this during frequent auto start-stop cycles to protect the battery from unnecessary strain. Choosing a shaded spot is even better, as high summer temperatures can cause more issues. Sticking to these practices long-term ensures smoother driving, better fuel efficiency, and above all, safety first.

How to Repair High Water Temperature in a Van?

Find a safe place to park, turn on the hazard lights, place a triangular warning sign after parking, and let the car idle without turning off the engine. After parking the car, open the hood, slightly unscrew the radiator cap, and wait for the steam to escape before fully opening it. Check if the coolant is sufficient, but do not add it immediately as the temperature is still too high. Inspect the radiator hoses for any leaks.

Solutions for Car Air Conditioning Not Cooling Properly

Solutions for car air conditioning not cooling properly are as follows: 1. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system can lead to reduced pressure and less heat being removed, resulting in poor cooling performance. In this case, the refrigerant needs to be refilled. 2. A dirty condenser can also cause poor cooling. You can rinse the condenser directly with a water hose or remove it for thorough cleaning to ensure cleanliness. 3. Check the air conditioning filter. If the car hasn't been serviced for a long time, a dirty filter may affect the cooling performance. 4. Clean or replace the air conditioning filter if necessary.

What to Do with Driver's License and Vehicle Registration After a Name Change?

After changing your name, you need to update the name on your driver's license at the local vehicle management office, and the applicant must prepare the relevant documents. The procedure should be handled at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle owner is registered. Generally, there are specific requirements for the photo used in the license renewal, such as it being taken within the last 6 months. In some areas, the vehicle management office requires an online appointment in advance, so you should manage your time accordingly.

What is the function of the car OFF button?

The OFF button in the car is used to deactivate the vehicle stability control system. The vehicle stability system is enabled by default. If you need to turn it off, press and hold the OFF button. The function of the vehicle stability system is to prevent skidding and loss of control when the vehicle is cornering at high speed. If the front or rear wheels, which have driving and steering functions, start to slip, the ESP will automatically brake other wheels and intervene with the engine management system. There are several situations where you may need to turn OFF the system: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand during off-roading. 2. When aggressive driving such as drifting is required. 3. When snow chains are installed on the vehicle.

What to do if the scratch cannot be wiped off but the primer is not damaged?

Touch with your finger. Generally, if you cannot feel obvious unevenness when touching the scratch, it means the primer is not damaged. Take out a clean towel, wet it, and quickly wipe off the black marks with force. Note that the towel should not be too wet, as this may damage the primer. Use a polishing wheel with polishing oxidizer to remove the oxidized layer attached to the car surface, smooth out fine scratches, and allow the chemical to penetrate the paint for a restorative effect.

What is the best spraying method for automotive 2K paint?

First, use a blower (spray gun) to thoroughly dry any water in the car's seams, and cover areas that do not require painting with newspaper. Then, begin mixing the paint. Perform sanding, and apply the sealer primer in the correct proportion by brushing. Do not skip applying the sealer primer based on non-professional advice. Ensure even gun movement. Start by applying two thin coats of paint over the putty and let them dry briefly. Then, spray two more coats evenly from the bottom using a 3/1 gun movement technique and allow to dry.
