The electronic parking brake module of the Tiguan is located inside the area below the left side of the steering wheel. Here are some details about the Tiguan: 1. Tiguan Overview: The Tiguan is an SUV model equipped with standard ESP body stability system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and ASR traction control. Some less common features like EDS electronic differential lock, EPB electronic parking brake, auto hold function, and TPR tire pressure monitoring system are also standard configurations. Front dual airbags and front side airbags ensure passenger safety, and the standard child safety lock emphasizes the safety of children. 2. Handling: It offers a broad field of vision, light and precise steering, and smooth gear shifting. The chassis is solid and stable with firm suspension; however, the initial part of the brake pedal travel is somewhat soft, and the thick A-pillars slightly obstruct the view when turning. 3. Space: The interior provides ample space, with the extended wheelbase offering good legroom. The only drawback is the slightly limited trunk capacity, but overall, it is quite suitable for family use.

I've been repairing cars for 20 years and know the Volkswagen Tiguan inside out. The electronic parking brake module is usually hidden under the center armrest or behind the gear shift cover, specifically positioned near the driver's side and connected to the brake control unit for convenient wiring routing. This area is designed to be compact and hard to access. If the module malfunctions, such as unresponsive buttons or strange noises, never attempt to disassemble it yourself. The module contains sensors and motors, and rough handling could cause short circuits or damage other circuits. Based on my experience, when a fault is detected, first use an OBD scanner to read the error codes for confirmation, then leave it to the 4S shop for professional handling. During routine maintenance, ensure the area stays dry to prolong its lifespan. I recommend car owners have technicians periodically check the module's condition to ensure driving safety.

Where are the anti-theft screws on the new Audi A4L?

The anti-theft screws on the new A4L are located on the tires. Here is some related information about anti-theft screws: 1. The anti-theft principle of tire anti-theft screws is to process the outer diameter of the screw into an irregular shape, requiring the use of specialized tools: only the dedicated removal tool that comes with the wheel can be used to remove the wheel, ensuring the safety of the tires; 2. Using one anti-theft screw per wheel can achieve the anti-theft effect, fully ensuring the safety of the car tires: each wheel lock has 4-12 lock types, and the lock types are continuously updated, effectively preventing tire theft.

How to turn on the air conditioning in a Volkswagen Lavida?

How to operate the air conditioning in a Volkswagen Lavida: Press the AC button on the Lavida's air conditioning system, turn the temperature dial to the blue section. AC is the air conditioning switch, MAX stands for maximum, and the internal circulation can be manually turned on or off. Here are some related details: 1. By default, when the air conditioning is turned on to its maximum setting or when there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the internal circulation will automatically activate; in other cases, it generally does not activate automatically. 2. The Lavida is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand. The dimensions of this car are 4670 mm in length, 1806 mm in width, 1474 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm. The Lavida uses three types of engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.

What are the reasons for the failure of Infiniti's one-button start?

Infiniti's one-button start may fail due to the following reasons: the vehicle key battery is dead, the key's radio waves are interfered with, or the steering wheel is locked. Below are the detailed explanations: Vehicle key battery is dead: When the key battery is dead, the key's transmission power is low, making it difficult for the in-car sensor to detect it, resulting in the one-button start not working. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. Generally, smart keys come with a mechanical key, which can be directly inserted into the keyhole to start the car. Key's radio waves are interfered with: If the key is frequently placed near electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, or TVs, or if there are strong radio waves nearby (e.g., near TV towers, airports, or power plants), the low-intensity radio waves in the key may be interfered with, causing the one-button start to malfunction. Steering wheel is locked: When the steering wheel is locked, the one-button start function will fail. The steering wheel lock is an anti-theft feature. After the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is rotated a certain angle from its centered position in one direction, the steering wheel will lock.

What Octane Gas Should a Lexus ES Use?

Lexus ES should use 92-octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the owner's manual for the appropriate gasoline octane, you can also find this information on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the octane level can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the octane level cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. High-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline due to factors like ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If a Lexus ES occasionally uses the wrong octane gasoline, simply switch back to the correct octane after the tank is empty. However, long-term use of the wrong octane can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower octane, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher octane, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance will develop during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to severe engine damage.

Where is the drain plug located on the Great Wall M4 radiator?

The drain outlet of the M4 engine radiator is located at the bottom of the radiator. Below is relevant information: 1. The Haval M4 is equipped with a self-developed engine by Great Wall, a 1.5L VVT all-aluminum engine, which is widely used in multiple products under the Great Wall brand. Its mature reliability is unquestionable, and the performance of 78kW and 139N·m should be more than sufficient to drive this small car. Four-wheel disc brakes are uncommon in this class, and the rear longitudinal arm torsion beam composite suspension is semi-independent. 2. In terms of exterior dimensions, the Haval M4 can be considered a typical compact SUV. Looking at the domestic SUV market, it seems only the Haval M series is involved in this SUV segment. A ground clearance of 185mm and larger tire size already demonstrate its off-road capability. For consumers who desire an SUV but are troubled by urban parking difficulties, a compact SUV like the Haval M4 might be a perfect compromise.
