After the remote key gets wet, do not press any buttons. Once you confirm that all the water inside has been removed, test whether the remote key still works. Disassemble the key, remove the battery, and thoroughly dry both the key and the battery. Let them sit for about two hours until completely dry, then reassemble. Try using the key to unlock the door.

Where is the thermostat located in the Passat?

The thermostat of the Volkswagen Passat is located at the upper radiator hose. Function of the thermostat: The thermostat is installed in the vehicle to protect the engine operation and prevent cylinder explosion caused by excessive temperature during engine operation. If the vehicle does not have a thermostat, it will affect the vehicle's driving and, in severe cases, may lead to engine failure. How to check the thermostat's condition: You can judge by feeling the temperature of the upper and lower radiator hoses. First, start the engine and after 3 minutes, touch the upper and lower hoses. If the thermostat is functioning properly, the temperatures of the upper and lower hoses will be different—typically, the upper hose will be hot while the lower hose is cool. When the engine coolant temperature reaches around 90°C, both hoses should be hot, indicating the thermostat is good. If the temperatures of the upper and lower hoses remain the same after starting the engine, the thermostat is faulty.

Is it a problem if I accidentally change lanes over a solid line on the highway?

If you accidentally change lanes over a solid line on the highway and are caught by a camera, you will be fined, but no points will be deducted from your driver's license. It is very common to cross the line when entering the highway or merging onto ramps. While dashed lines on the highway can be crossed, solid lines must not be crossed. In addition to prohibiting lane changes, solid lines on the highway also prohibit U-turns and turns. Therefore, it is important to slow down and drive carefully on the highway to allow more time to react and correct your path, avoiding traffic violations. In general, whether it is a single yellow or white solid line or a double yellow or white solid line, crossing them is not allowed. If you change lanes and find yourself driving in the opposite direction, it can be extremely dangerous.

Is the New Tiggo 7 Suitable for Installing Running Boards?

New Tiggo 7 can be equipped with running boards. This model has dedicated running boards, and it is recommended to install the specialized ones. Convenience and Stability: Installing running boards makes the vehicle appear more stable and aesthetically pleasing. Since SUVs generally have higher ground clearance, installing SUV running boards allows passengers to get in and out of the car more easily, improving safety. Additionally, if passengers find it inconvenient to enter or exit, shoes might inadvertently scratch the car's paint. Reduced Friction: Running boards can block friction on the sides of the vehicle and prevent minor scratches, protecting the car body and serving a function similar to a bumper.
