In an automatic transmission car, the M gear represents the manual mode of a semi-automatic transmission. When the car is shifted into M gear, it automatically switches to manual transmission mode, requiring the driver to downshift at low speeds and upshift at high speeds, similar to operating a manual transmission vehicle. The M gear can be directly engaged from the D gear without the need to stop the vehicle. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, and L. For general driving needs, using the Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears is sufficient. However, in certain special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on the Tiguan Dashboard?

The method to reset the tire pressure light on the Tiguan dashboard: 1. Locate a button in front of the gear shift that resembles a basin with an exclamation mark inside—this is the tire pressure setting button. 2. Adjust the tire pressure to the standard level. 3. Turn on the ignition and hold this button until a similar yellow light appears on the dashboard. 4. Continue holding the button until the light goes off, indicating the reset is complete. Reasons for the Tiguan's tire pressure light to illuminate: 1. A puncture causing the tire pressure monitoring light to come on. 2. Sometimes the light indicates excessively high tire pressure. 3. Driving for an extended period with low tire pressure triggers the monitoring light. 4. The light may also come on due to prolonged underinflation. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, featuring a 5-door, 5-seat configuration with dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm.

What is the difference between metallic paint and regular paint for vehicles?

Differences between metallic paint and regular paint for vehicles: 1. Different composition: Metallic paint is a two-component ambient temperature curing coating, where component A consists of resin base, high-quality pigments and fillers, and additives, and component B is the curing agent; regular paint is composed of resin, pigments, additives, fillers, curing agents, and solvents. 2. Different performance: Metallic paint has improved wear resistance and is less prone to scratches; regular paint is more susceptible to scratches when parked by the roadside or subjected to external force contact. 3. Different hardness: Metallic paint contains metal powder, giving it metallic components and a harder surface that is less prone to scratches; regular paint is a plain color paint without metal powder, making the paint surface softer and more prone to chipping when hit by flying stones on the road during high-speed driving.

Does the car have any impact without glass water?

There is no impact on the car without glass water, and there is no harm or damage to the car if it is not added in time. However, when cleaning dirt on the glass, dry wiping may produce a lot of noise. Furthermore, it may have a certain impact on the wiper blades because it is dry wiping without lubrication, and it also cannot clean thoroughly. The functions of glass water: 1. Anti-freezing performance, with the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol, it can significantly reduce the freezing point of the liquid, thus playing an anti-freezing role and quickly dissolving frost. 2. Anti-fog performance, a single-molecule protective layer will form on the glass surface, which can prevent the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear windshield and clear vision. 3. Anti-static performance, after cleaning with window cleaner, the substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass surface, providing anti-static performance. 4. Lubrication performance, the window cleaner contains ethylene glycol, which has high viscosity and can play a lubricating role, reducing the friction between the wiper and the glass and preventing scratches.
