The rear wiper switch of the Tiguan L is located on the control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Pulling this lever backward can turn the rear wiper on or off; pulling it upward can activate the front wiper; pushing it forward can turn on the cleaning function to wash the windshield. SUVs and hatchbacks tend to generate turbulence at the rear when driving in the rain, which easily splashes dirty water from the ground onto the tailgate and rear windshield. To ensure clear visibility, SUVs and hatchbacks are equipped with rear wipers. Cars with rear wipers also have a cleaning function for the rear windshield. If the cleaning switch is activated, both the front and rear windshields will be cleaned. The Tiguan is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4506mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2684mm.

Are New Energy Vehicles Afraid of Being Flooded?

New energy vehicles have strong water-wading capabilities. Even without any additional protection, each battery in the vehicle inherently possesses waterproofing capabilities. However, excessive water depth can damage other components of the vehicle. Although electric vehicles lack the intake and exhaust components found in fuel-powered vehicles, they have vent holes on the reducer, which serve to balance internal and external pressure. The reducer is typically installed on the axle between the chassis and the tires. Therefore, when the water depth is too high, water can enter the vent holes and damage the reducer. All new energy vehicles undergo waterproofing treatment before leaving the factory, so there is no need to worry about electric leakage. The battery packs of electric vehicles are installed beneath the chassis, and the batteries vary by brand. Tests have shown that some vehicles can operate in water for up to an hour, while others may malfunction within half an hour. Therefore, in special circumstances, it is advisable to avoid wading for more than half an hour. As long as the vehicle does not wade in water for more than half an hour and the water depth does not exceed 30 centimeters, there is no risk of electric shock. Otherwise, water ingress may damage other components and produce unpleasant odors.

Why are the ESC and ABS lights on at the same time?

ABS and ESP lights are on due to two contact points being covered in mud. Anti-lock Braking System: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state (with a slip ratio around 20%) to ensure maximum wheel-to-road adhesion. Electronic Stability Program: ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is a type of traction control system. Compared to other traction control systems, ESP not only manages the drive wheels but also regulates the non-driven wheels. For instance, in rear-wheel-drive vehicles prone to oversteer where the rear wheels lose traction and cause fishtailing, ESP stabilizes the car by braking the outer front wheel. Conversely, during understeer, ESP corrects the trajectory by braking the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction.

Why Are All the Warning Lights On?

The reasons for all the warning lights on the car dashboard being illuminated are as follows: 1. CAN bus failure in the ECU, or poor contact at the ECU's CAN interface. 2. Excessive dirt and carbon buildup, causing abnormal air flow and preventing accurate control of the normal air intake, leading to unstable gas content and making the engine unable to operate properly. 3. Low fuel pressure combined with poor constant pressure performance results in low system atomization levels, making the car difficult to start. 4. Various indicator or warning lights are installed beneath the dashboard cover, such as the coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, and airbag (SRS) warning light, among others.

What is the shelf life of fuel additive?

Fuel additives do have a shelf life, typically around 2 years. When stored in a cool place, they can last for 2 years. However, if left in the rear window of a car exposed to prolonged sunlight, they may deteriorate. Fuel additives that have only slightly expired can still be used normally, but if they have been expired for too long, they may lose their effectiveness in cleaning carbon deposits. Here is some additional information about fuel additives: 1. Introduction: Fuel additives are a type of fuel detergent. 2. Function: Fuel detergents can reduce engine carbon deposits by minimizing impurities in the fuel.

What does the SVS light in a car mean?

SVS indicator light is the engine fault indicator light, which is equivalent to the "engine shape" indicator light; when the vehicle's ignition key is turned on, this light will illuminate and will turn off after the vehicle is started; when the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will illuminate; if this light comes on while the vehicle is in motion, it indicates that there is a fault with the vehicle's engine, and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The following is an introduction to the ECU: 1. The role of the ECU: The ECU can collect data through various sensors, and after processing, it can control the engine's operation through control mechanisms. Without the ECU and sensors, the engine cannot function properly. 2. The principle of the ECU: The principle of the ECU is to detect the engine's working conditions through sensors installed in different locations, including engine speed, crankshaft position, exhaust temperature, exhaust oxygen content, and other parameters, and send these signals to a dedicated microprocessor, which processes them and issues control signals to adjust the engine's ignition timing and fuel supply in a timely manner, achieving the desired optimal effect.

Why is there no air coming out of the center vent of the car air conditioner?

If there is no air coming out of the center vent of the car air conditioner, it may be due to reasons such as the center vent switch not being turned on, severely clogged filters, a blown fuse for the blower, or a faulty relay. The car air conditioner is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin to an optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates good working conditions for the driver and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving. There are 5 main reasons why the car air conditioner may not blow air: 1. Check if the vent switch is connected properly and if there is any short circuit. 2. Check the air conditioner fuse to see if it has blown. 3. Check if the air conditioner vent is blocked. 4. Check if the air conditioner motor blower is working properly. 5. Check the vehicle's power distribution system and inspect the battery.
