The technique to permanently disable the start-stop function in the Tiguan is: Expose the car to direct sunlight until the temperature displayed after starting exceeds 35 degrees Celsius; Open the engine start-stop disable interface, where the function will already be in the off state; Press and hold the disable icon for the engine start-stop function until the small yellow bar disappears, then release; Wait for the small yellow bar to reappear to complete the disabling process. The Tiguan is a vehicle produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, offering four versions (Urban, Trendline, Elite, and Flagship) across seven models. These are equipped with Volkswagen's flagship 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines, delivering outstanding performance in both power and fuel efficiency. The Tiguan is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, optimizing power delivery for a dynamic driving experience while maintaining environmentally friendly emissions.

Let me talk about how to completely disable the automatic start-stop function in the Tiguan. I've thought about this myself. First, the most reliable method is using an OBD diagnostic tool. There's a port under the steering wheel—just plug in a compatible OBD device, connect to software like VCDS, enter the settings to modify the ECU program, and disable the start-stop by default. Remember to back up data before making changes to avoid messing up the system. The start-stop feature is meant to save fuel, but the repeated restarts are annoying and drain the battery. I've tried it successfully myself—the car has run over 10,000 kilometers without the feature activating again. The tools can be bought online for just a few dozen bucks, but don't recklessly flash the system if you're inexperienced. Beginners should go to a professional shop to save trouble, as it involves the electrical system, and mistakes could lead to costly repairs. Disabling start-stop long-term reduces stress on the battery, potentially extending its life, and makes driving much more relaxed, especially in traffic jams.

How often should the air filter of a Mercedes-Benz be replaced?

According to the maintenance manual of a Mercedes-Benz, the air filter should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every other maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The location of the air filter depends on the intake form and engine structure, typically found in the air cleaner on the engine intake pipe. There are two types of air filters in cars: dry and wet. Dry filters are made of paper or organic materials, while wet filters are made of metal mesh. The function of the air filter is to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that sufficient clean air enters the cylinders and preventing airborne dust from being sucked into the engine, which could accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinders. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, cars, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms. During operation, the engine inhales a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, airborne dust sucked into the cylinders will accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring," especially in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. Using a dirty air filter while driving can cause insufficient engine intake, incomplete fuel combustion, leading to unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is essential to keep the air filter clean. The car air cleaner is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or more components that clean the air. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders to reduce early wear on the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, valves, and valve seats. Thus, air must pass through the fine filtration of the air cleaner before entering the cylinders. A dirty air cleaner can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When inspecting the air cleaner, if the dust is minimal and the blockage is light, it can be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the inside out and reused. Severely dirty air filters should be replaced promptly. Notes: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, airborne dust sucked into the cylinders will accelerate wear on the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring," especially in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class air filter finely filters the air entering the engine cylinders, ensuring sufficient and clean air. Its cleanliness and unobstructed condition are crucial to the engine's lifespan. When cleaning dust from the filter paper of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class air filter, use a soft brush to brush along the folds to remove surface dust and gently tap the filter end to shake off dirt. If the original color of the filter paper is no longer visible after cleaning the outer surface, or if the inner surface appears dark, the filter must be replaced.

What is Sheet Metal Repair?

It refers to the repair work performed on the vehicle body after a collision, encompassing all tasks except for anti-corrosion and decorative spray painting. Below is relevant information about automotive sheet metal repair: Introduction: Automotive sheet metal repair is a technical method in vehicle maintenance, essentially equating to automotive sheet metal restoration. Expansion: Sheet metal materials must possess excellent plasticity. They need the ability to undergo permanent deformation under external forces without being damaged. For cold-worked components, good cold plasticity is required, such as automotive stamped parts; for hot-worked components, good thermal plasticity is necessary, like hot-forged spring steel plates and hot-riveted bolts.

What happens if the first point is turned too early during reverse parking?

It may result in failure to enter the parking space or crossing the boundary lines. Below is relevant information about reverse parking: Introduction: Reverse parking has been a mandatory test item for obtaining a small vehicle driver's license since 2013. It assesses the driver's ability to maneuver the vehicle within a confined space. Reverse parking is one of the assessment points in the driver's test, requiring candidates to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides within a time limit. Test procedure: Reverse from starting point A into garage B and park properly; move forward to turnaround area C and stop; reverse from turnaround area into garage B and stop; return from garage B to point A to complete the test.
