When taking the Volkswagen Tiguan to a 4S shop or maintenance center, you can use a voltmeter to measure the battery voltage. If it approaches the danger level, you can directly replace the battery. In case the battery dies on the road, you can seek help from another vehicle to jump-start it. Extended content, jump-start methods are as follows: 1. Push-start: Push-starting is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method, but it should not be used frequently as it can cause some damage to the engine and clutch. This method should especially be avoided for automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Towing start: The method and principle of towing start are similar to push-starting. When implementing this method, use a tow rope of appropriate length and ensure both ends are securely tied. Before towing, the drivers of both vehicles should agree on communication signals, such as using horns or hand gestures to indicate starting and stopping, to ensure coordinated cooperation. 3. Jump-start: If you encounter such a situation and there is another vehicle with jumper cables available, you can use the battery jump-start method to start the vehicle. First, bring the two vehicles close enough so that the jumper cables can connect the positive and negative terminals of both batteries. Ensure that the two vehicles do not touch each other, and only use cables with sufficient load capacity and insulated outer covering.

How to Deal with Foggy Windows in a Car?

To handle foggy windows in a car, you can follow these methods: 1. Open the windows to create air convection between the inside and outside of the car, which will reduce the temperature difference and make the fog disappear; 2. Turn on the car's defogging function, and select the appropriate cold or warm air from the air conditioner to use the air blown by the air conditioner to defog. The steps to turn on the defogging function are: 1. Open the driver's door; 2. Press the car's brake pedal to start the engine; 3. Press the car's one-touch start button; 4. All the dashboard lights will turn on, indicating that the engine has started; 5. Press the defogging button located on the center console.

What is the difference between the internal and external circulation of a car's air conditioning system?

Car air conditioning internal and external circulation mainly differ in the following aspects: 1. Different states. Internal circulation mode closes the airflow channel between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Without the fan, there is no airflow circulation, and when the fan is on, the inhaled airflow only comes from inside the vehicle, forming an internal airflow circulation. External circulation mode uses the fan to draw air from outside the vehicle into the cabin, allowing air to flow between the outside and inside. The air blown by the fan comes from outside, and even without the fan, airflow is still drawn into the cabin while driving. 2. Different functions. Internal circulation primarily prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the cabin promptly and effectively, such as when driving through smoke, dust, areas with strong odors, or in heavy traffic, blocking harmful exhaust emissions from vehicles ahead. External circulation allows for breathing fresh air from outside the vehicle.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmission shifting produces abnormal noise due to the following reasons: 1. The release bearing lacks lubricant, causing dry friction or bearing damage. 2. There is no clearance between the release bearing and the inner end of the release lever. 3. Severe oil contamination or dust accumulation between the release bearing sleeve and the guide tube, or fatigue, breakage, or detachment of the release bearing return spring and pedal return spring, resulting in poor return of the release bearing. 4. Loose fit between the spline hole of the driven plate and its spline shaft. 5. Annealing, fatigue, or breakage of the driven plate damping springs. 6. Loose rivets or exposed rivet heads on the driven plate friction disc. 7. Wear and looseness of the drive pins of the double-disc clutch and the pin holes in the intermediate pressure plate and pressure plate.

What is the correct order for disconnecting car battery cables?

When disconnecting car battery cables, the correct order is to remove the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as a car battery is a lead-acid battery, which consists of lead and its oxides with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The functions of a car battery include: 1. Providing a powerful starting current to the starter motor when starting the engine; 2. Assisting the alternator in powering electrical equipment when the generator is overloaded; 3. Supplying power to electrical devices when the engine is idling; 4. Protecting the vehicle's electrical appliances; 5. Converting part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage (charging) when the generator's terminal voltage exceeds the electromotive force of the lead-acid battery.

Where is the windshield washer fluid added in a Changan car?

Windshield washer fluid is located at the left edge of the engine compartment. The method of adding windshield washer fluid is very simple, and car owners can do it themselves. In northern regions, antifreeze-type windshield washer fluid should be selected, while in southern regions, windshield washer fluid with added insecticide components can be used. The refill capacity for Changan CS35 windshield washer fluid is 3.3L, and the washer fluid tank capacity is approximately 3.8L. After opening the hood, you need to locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Most cars have a universal indicator symbol on the washer fluid reservoir cap, which is the same for all vehicles globally. Simply open the reservoir cap to add the windshield washer fluid. Generally, about 2 liters need to be added. There is a dipstick inside the reservoir; add the fluid while checking the level, and stop when it reaches the marked line to avoid overflow and unnecessary waste.
