The Touareg's air conditioning is not cool because excessive refrigerant causes insufficient cooling. Below is relevant information about the Touareg: 1. Exterior: The SAIC Volkswagen Touareg heavily draws inspiration from the CrossBlue concept car's design, giving it a very imposing appearance overall. 2. Dimensions: The new vehicle measures 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm, making its overall size comparable to the new Audi Q7. In terms of interior, the SAIC Volkswagen Touareg employs very straight-line design elements, which also originate from the CrossBlue concept car.

There are many reasons why the Touareg's air conditioning may not be cooling effectively. A non-functioning compressor is a common issue—if it fails, the entire refrigeration system shuts down, producing no cold air at all. Another possibility is insufficient refrigerant due to leaks or inadequate charging, which lowers the air conditioning pressure and reduces cooling. Poor heat dissipation from the condenser can also be a factor; for example, blockage by dust or leaves decreases its efficiency. Additionally, electronic control faults, such as a malfunctioning temperature sensor, can prevent the AC from regulating properly. It's advisable to start with simple checks, like inspecting whether the AC filter is dirty, as excessive dirt can obstruct airflow. If the issue persists, visit a professional workshop to test the system pressure and avoid prolonged discomfort from AC failure during long drives.

Where is the rearview mirror heating switch for the 3 Series?

The rearview mirror heating for the 3 Series is a button-type switch located among the buttons below the central control screen. Its icon features three curved upward arrows paired with a rectangle. After pressing the button, the heating element behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes. The icon for the button-type rearview mirror heating switch needs to be distinguished from the front windshield defogging button. The front windshield defrost button is represented by a fan shape with three rising curved arrows inside, while the rearview mirror heating button is represented by a square frame with three rising curved arrows inside. In addition to button-type switches, some cars have a knob-type rearview mirror heating switch. On the driver's side door, there is a knob on the left front with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol, which is a square frame with three rising curved arrows inside, serves as the rearview mirror heating switch. Turning the knob to the heating symbol activates the rearview mirror heating function. Rearview mirror heating works by installing small heating wires inside the rearview mirror lens. When the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating wires quickly warm up to a fixed temperature, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, within a few minutes. This helps defog and defrost the mirror surface. The rearview mirror heating function is most commonly used during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather to ensure a clear mirror surface. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: After turning on the rearview mirror heating function, the defogging or defrosting effect is not immediate. The frost or fog will gradually disappear after preheating. Excessive use of this function, especially for more than 30 minutes at a time, can affect the lifespan, clarity, and brightness of the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror heating function generally activates only when the external temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius. If the outside temperature is high, the rearview mirror will not heat up even if the switch is turned on. The rearview mirror heating function is designed to remove fog droplets and frost from the mirror surface but cannot eliminate raindrops in heavy rain. During heavy rain, the heat generated by the heating wires is insufficient to evaporate continuous raindrops, so the mirror surface may still become blurry, affecting the driver's visibility. Cars equipped with rearview mirror heating have special mirror lenses that differ from regular ones. Heating mirror lenses come with heating function connectors, so this must be taken into account when replacing rearview mirror lenses.

What to do if the license plate is changed but the ETC remains the same?

After changing the license plate without changing the car, the ETC cannot be used. You can take it to an ETC service point or an ETC processing point to cancel the ETC. After successful cancellation, reactivate the ETC device and input new information. At the same time, bind the ETC card to the new license plate to make it usable. ETC installation method: Sensor installation. The ETC device is uniformly installed on the front windshield inside the car, next to the rearview mirror. It comes with a plastic suction cup to attach to the windshield. Choose an installation location that does not affect the front view of driving. Sensor wiring installation. Plug the wiring connector of the sensor into the sensor's connection port. The wiring is connected through the car's internal network, branching out from the car's intelligent information system. Wrap the wiring along the car's headliner without removing the interior trim—just press it with your hand to hide the wiring neatly. Insert the card into the ETC sensor. Gently insert the side of the card with the chip into the ETC sensor's card slot. The sensor detects the chip and reads the express card. If the card is inserted correctly, after the sensor detects the ETC express card, the sensor's display will light up and show "Start accounting," indicating that the sensor and the express card are properly connected. ETC working principle: Through the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, dedicated short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station. Computer networking technology is used for backend settlement processing with the bank, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the tolls.

What to Do When Car Mirrors Are Not Visible on Rainy Days?

Rain guards are easy to install and inexpensive, providing good effectiveness during light rain, but their downside is limited effectiveness during heavy rain. Apply soap to a damp cloth, then wipe the mirror with it. After the mirror dries, gently remove any residue with a tissue. The main component of water repellent is silicone oil, which alters the surface tension of water on the glass, preventing water from adhering to the mirror's surface. Scrub the mirror with detergent and wipe it dry with a towel. Once the mirror is dry, gently remove any residue with a tissue.
