There are three original equipment tires for the Volkswagen Tiguan: Michelin Primacy LC Bo Yue, Hankook Dynapro HP, and Dunlop SP Sport 01V. The tire specification is 235/50R18 97V. Any tires with the same specifications can be used. Tire maintenance: 1. Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds and avoid unnecessary or frequent braking to reduce tire damage. For safety reasons, pay attention to the tread depth of the tires. Tires that are nearly worn out have reduced friction with the road and longer braking distances, so avoid high-speed driving. 2. There is a direct correlation between tire load and pressure. Overloading is similar to underinflation and can cause tire damage. Frequent overloading can reduce tire lifespan by 20%-50%. 3. Proper inflation is crucial for tire longevity. The tire pressure must comply with national standards specified for different types and specifications of tires. 4. Rotate the tires appropriately during vehicle maintenance (check tires during first and second-level maintenance) to ensure even wear and extend tire life. Slightly larger outer diameter tires should be installed on the outer wheels. 5. Do not use retreaded tires on the front wheels. For the front wheels, prefer tires with vertical tread patterns, and for the rear wheels, choose tires with horizontal tread patterns. 6. Replace tires when the wear reaches the tread wear indicators.

Does automotive braking mean the same as braking?

Automotive braking (motor vehicle braking) refers to the braking technology used to decelerate or stop a vehicle while it is in motion. The brake is essentially the same as the braking system. Brakes are categorized into service brakes (foot brake) and parking brakes (hand brake). Below is a related introduction to automotive braking: 1. The braking system used to decelerate or stop a moving vehicle is called the service braking system. 2. The braking system used to keep a stationary vehicle in place is called the parking braking system. 3. In the event of a service braking system failure, the braking system that ensures the vehicle can still decelerate or stop is called the emergency braking system. 4. During driving, the braking system that assists the service braking system in reducing speed or maintaining a stable speed, but cannot bring the vehicle to an emergency stop, is called the auxiliary braking system.

Should the Protective Film on the Car Center Console Be Removed?

As long as the protective film on the car screen does not affect the display or visual experience, it does not need to be removed. We often prefer to apply tempered glass screen protectors to devices like smartphones and tablets. Although the car's center console screen is unlikely to shatter from drops, scratches can still occur during driving and long-term use. Methods for maintaining the car center console screen: 1. If scratches appear on the center console screen and a protective film is applied, simply remove the old film and replace it with a new one. If there is no protective film, minor scratches can be gently rubbed with a soft towel dipped in vegetable oil or toothpaste for several minutes to effectively reduce their visibility. 2. When there are stains on the center console screen, use a soft towel lightly dampened with water or glass cleaner to wipe it gently. Avoid pouring liquid directly onto the screen to prevent water damage and potential short circuits. 3. During daily operation, avoid using excessive force or scratching the screen with hard objects like fingernails or keys to prevent damage.

What are the standards for long-term and short-term fuel trim?

Short-term fuel trim is a real-time correction control of the fuel injection quantity based on the oxygen sensor's feedback regarding the air-fuel mixture richness or leanness in the previous working cycles; long-term fuel trim is an adaptive learning process performed by the electronic control unit based on the engine's long-term operating conditions. 1. Short-term fuel trim: Short-term fuel trim is an immediate strategy formulated by the electronic control unit based on the oxygen sensor's timely detection of exhaust gases. This correction is temporary, and its value changes instantly with the variation in oxygen content in the exhaust gases. 2. Long-term fuel trim: The change in the long-term fuel trim coefficient is a qualitative transformation formed by the electronic control unit based on the quantitative accumulation of consistently correct feedback results from short-term fuel trim. The establishment of long-term fuel trim aims to maintain all short-term fuel trim values within specific parameter ranges. The long-term fuel trim value is stored in the computer's memory for long-term use.

What are the main functional classifications of automotive braking systems?

Automotive braking systems can be classified into the following two types based on their primary functions: 1. Service Brake System: Operated by the driver using the foot, hence also known as the foot brake system. Function: To decelerate a moving vehicle or bring it to a stop within the shortest possible distance. 2. Parking Brake System: Operated by the driver using the hand, hence also known as the hand brake system. Function: To keep a stationary vehicle immobile on various road surfaces. Below is a related introduction to automotive braking systems: I. An automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the vehicle (primarily the wheels) to enforce a certain degree of braking. II. Functions of the braking system: 1. To forcibly decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle as required by the driver. 2. To ensure stable parking of a stationary vehicle under various road conditions (including on slopes). 3. To maintain a stable speed for a vehicle moving downhill.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car vacuum booster pump?

Here are the symptoms of a faulty car vacuum pump: 1. Poor braking performance or no braking effect, sometimes even leading to brake failure. 2. Visibly noticeable oil leakage at the external connections of the vacuum pump, and slow or non-returning brake pedal. Below is some related information about the car vacuum booster pump: 1. The function of the vacuum booster pump is to use the vacuum generated during engine operation to provide some assistance to the driver when braking, making it easier to press the brake pedal. If the vacuum booster pump is damaged, there will be no assistance, making the brake pedal harder to press. Generally, the vacuum pump cannot be repaired and must be replaced. 2. Its working principle is to use the vacuum from the engine's intake to provide braking assistance. It does not require special lubrication oil.

Does turning on the car's power without starting the engine affect the vehicle?

No impact, it only consumes a small amount of electricity and will not affect the vehicle. However, if performing vehicle maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power to prevent the starter from engaging due to direct wiring, which can reduce the lifespan of wires and batteries and may cause spontaneous combustion. Here are some battery precautions: 1. Avoid storing the battery in a depleted state. A depleted state refers to when the battery is not recharged promptly after use, which can lead to sulfation. Lead sulfate crystals may form on the plates, blocking ion channels and resulting in insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. 2. Conduct regular inspections. During use, if the electric vehicle's range suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period, it is likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken grids, plate softening, or active material shedding, leading to a short circuit.
