The cabin air filter in the Kadjar is located on the side near the center console on the front passenger side. The cabin air filter, commonly known as the pollen filter, is used to filter the air entering the cabin from the outside, improving air cleanliness. It typically filters impurities in the air, such as tiny particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust, and dust. The Kadjar is a compact SUV launched by Dongfeng Renault, with dimensions of 4508mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1610mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2645mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine or a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power outputs of 86kw and 110kw respectively, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 7 gears) or a 6-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving my Renault Kadjar for several years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, which is quite easy to find. First, you need to press open or unscrew the small screws on the left and right clips of the glove compartment. Once the glove compartment is removed, you'll see a small rectangular cover. Open it, and the filter is right inside. Replacing it yourself is super simple and doesn't require any tools—just remember not to pull too hard to avoid damaging the plastic parts. The filter traps dust and pollen. If you don't replace it, the air conditioning might blow weaker air or produce strange odors, affecting both health and comfort inside the car. I usually replace it once a year or after driving 20,000 kilometers. Opt for better brands like Bosch or Mann filters for longer-lasting performance. Before starting, turn off the air conditioning, and after replacement, make sure to secure the glove compartment tightly to prevent any rattling noises.

What to Do If Low Beam Lights Frequently Burn Out?

Here are the solutions for frequently burnt-out low beam lights: 1. The frequent burnout of low beam lights is likely due to an abnormal low beam relay. Checking the low beam relay is relatively simple. 2. First, locate the low beam relay and use a multimeter to measure the output line of the relay to see if there is a 12V output. If there is an intermittent 12V output, it indicates normal operation. 3. If there is no output or a constant 12V output, it means the low beam relay is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. Other reasons for frequent burnout of low beam lights include: 1. Whether the generator's output is normal. If the generator voltage is too high, the generator regulator should be replaced. If the regulator is not available as a separate part, the entire generator assembly needs to be replaced. 2. Check if the amperage of the low beam fuse complies with the manufacturer's specifications. If the fuse amperage is too high, it cannot ensure whether the current passing through the low beam is excessive, and the fuse should be replaced. 3. Loose connections in the headlight plug, leading to unstable voltage in the headlight, or excessive resistance and overheating at the lamp socket pins, causing the headlight pins to burn out.

What Causes Vehicle Shaking During Neutral Idle?

Vehicle shaking during neutral idle is primarily caused by severe engine carbon buildup, ignition system issues, aging engine components, and unstable oil pressure. Severe Engine Carbon Buildup: The most common reason for vehicle shaking due to severe carbon buildup is either a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there's too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making the engine difficult to start. Only when the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline does the engine start more easily. After ignition, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is then sucked into the cylinders by the engine's vacuum for combustion, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. This alternation between lean and rich mixtures causes unstable idle after a cold start. Additionally, lower temperatures require more fuel for cold starts, and carbon deposits significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check the idle air control valve for carbon buildup. Ignition System Issues: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak sparking from the spark plugs can also lead to this issue. The solution is to inspect the spark plugs for excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. Aging Engine Components: Vehicle shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts act as the engine's shock absorption system, absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, the vibrations will transfer to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing shaking during idle. The solution is to replace the engine mounts at a 4S shop. Unstable Oil Pressure: If you've already cleaned the engine carbon deposits, throttle body, replaced gaskets and spark plugs, but still experience shaking during idle, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor for any abnormalities. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance from the intake pressure sensor can also cause vehicle shaking. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary.

What are the precautions for vehicle annual inspection?

Here are the precautions for vehicle annual inspection: 1. Check if it is within the valid inspection period. The vehicle inspection date can be known through the inspection label, which clearly states the valid annual inspection date of the vehicle. This is the most intuitive way to know the annual inspection validity period. Owners can apply for annual inspection 90 working days before the expiration date. 2. Handle traffic violations. If there are any outstanding violations, the annual inspection label will not be issued after the inspection. Before the inspection, make sure to check if there are any unprocessed violations. If so, they must be handled promptly before proceeding to the vehicle management office for the annual inspection. 3. Self-check the vehicle appearance. Ensure the vehicle is clean, without large-scale damage or modification marks. 4. Prepare necessary documents and items before inspection: driving license, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Before the inspection, make sure to have the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory insurance (expired or not yet effective policies are not acceptable), and an ID card (does not need to be the owner's) ready—all three are essential. Additionally, the vehicle must be equipped with a triangular warning sign and a fire extinguisher.

How Far Should the Temporary Warning Sign Be Placed on the Highway?

When temporarily parking a passenger vehicle on the highway due to a breakdown, a warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle, and the authorities should be contacted immediately if necessary. The specific steps are as follows: When a vehicle suddenly breaks down during operation, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on immediately to alert following vehicles to maintain a safe distance. Observe the road conditions behind the vehicle through the rearview mirror, and if possible, move the malfunctioning vehicle to the emergency lane and park it steadily. To avoid secondary accidents and injuries, all unrelated passengers must evacuate the highway as quickly as possible after the vehicle is parked, waiting for rescue outside the guardrail and keeping a safe distance from the malfunctioning vehicle. Placing the warning sign: When parked in the emergency lane, place the warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle; if it is indeed impossible to park in the emergency lane, place the warning sign 150 to 200 meters behind the vehicle during the day and 250 to 300 meters at night. The breakdown warning sign is a triangle stand carried in the vehicle. Where should the triangle warning sign be placed on the road? The purpose of the triangle warning sign is to alert following vehicles that there is a traffic accident or unexpected situation ahead in this lane, so they should detour in advance. Therefore, the triangle warning sign must be placed within the lane where the vehicle is located. If the vehicle is parked in the emergency stopping lane, the sign should be placed slightly to the left in the lane behind the vehicle.

Should the Volkswagen Tiguan use 95 or 92 octane gasoline?

According to official recommendations, the Volkswagen Tiguan should use 95 octane gasoline. When refueling, it is advisable to check the vehicle's user manual, which provides clear instructions. You can also find the fuel standard recommendation inside the fuel tank cap. Since parameters such as the engine's compression ratio and ignition timing are preset in the engine's computer, owners should strictly follow the user manual's requirements when selecting gasoline. The differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline mainly lie in their octane ratings, anti-knock properties, and prices. 92 octane gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Gasoline with higher octane ratings has better anti-knock properties. 95 octane gasoline is more expensive than 92 octane because it contains a higher proportion of isooctane. Each engine undergoes comprehensive evaluation before leaving the factory, and based on its performance characteristics, the required anti-knock properties—and thus the appropriate gasoline grade—are determined. Fuel usage precautions: It is best to consistently use one type of gasoline; mixing different grades can harm the engine and fuel system. The choice of gasoline grade should be based on the engine's compression ratio, not on the assumption that higher octane is always better. Avoid blindly using higher-octane fuels.

What Causes Oil Stains on the Engine?

Oil stains on the engine are generally normal, but if it's due to oil leakage, then it's abnormal. The reasons for oil traces around the engine include a poorly sealed fuel cap or spilled oil not being wiped clean. Poorly sealed fuel cap: This may be caused by aging or damaged seals leading to oil leakage or seepage. It is recommended to replace the seal to enhance the fuel cap's sealing. Spilled oil not wiped clean: When adding oil, spills around the filler port that aren't thoroughly wiped clean can cause stains. Simply cleaning the oil stains on the engine will suffice. Cleaning oil stains on the engine: Purchase a bottle of all-purpose cleaner or engine external oil stain remover to quickly remove accumulated oil stains. Precautions during cleaning: Ensure the machine is stopped and cooled before use; cover distributors, electrical parts, carburetors, and air intake systems to prevent short circuits from exposed electrical conductors. Be cautious with all wiring and electrical induction parts inside the cover to minimize issues caused by water cleaning; shake the cleaner well before spraying onto the dry machine, then immediately wipe off excess spray with a damp cloth to avoid wax removal or streaking; let the cleaner sit for 5 minutes after spraying; after completing the task, start the machine and leave it in neutral for 5-10 minutes to ensure complete drying, then rinse with clean water.
