Tiguan L's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. You can see it by opening the glove compartment cover. The following are the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Filter the air inside and outside the vehicle. 2. Improve the quality of incoming air to keep the air in the cabin clean. Below is extended information on the steps to replace the cabin air filter: 1. First, locate the position of the cabin air filter in your vehicle. 2. Loosen the fixing screws or clips of the cover plate and remove the cover plate where the cabin air filter is located. 3. Pull out the old cabin air filter and check its contamination level. If it is slightly dirty, you can use an air gun to blow away the dust or tap it to shake off the dust. If it is severely dirty or deformed, you need to replace it with a new one. 4. When installing the filter, make sure the side with writing faces outward. Insert the filter back in the same way, then cover and secure the cover plate.

How Can Beginners Judge the Left and Right Front Corners of a Car?

Methods for beginners to judge the left and right front corners of a car are as follows: 1. Align the front edge of your car with the lower edge of the front car's tire. When the front edge of your car just touches the lower edge of the front car's tire, the distance to the front car is approximately 5 meters. 2. Align the front edge of your car with the lower edge of the front car's bumper. When the front edge of your car aligns with the lower edge of the front car's bumper, the distance to the front car is approximately 3 meters. Here are some additional tips for judging the left and right front corners: 1. Install auxiliary devices: With the advancement of technology, electronic car accessories have become more affordable. For example, 360-degree panoramic cameras with no blind spots are becoming more common in households. These cameras can clearly display the view of the right front area. 2. Judge by the alignment points between your car's front and the vehicle ahead: When the front edge of your car aligns with the lower edge of the front car's tire, the distance is about 5 meters; when it aligns with the front car's bumper, the distance is about 3 meters; and when it aligns with the lower edge of the front car's license plate, the distance is about 0.5 meters. 3. Make reasonable use of markers: Every driver has their own marking preferences. You can mark symbols according to your driving habits. When observing these markers, be sure to understand the blind spots of the vehicle ahead and master the patterns.

How to Check the Vehicle Frame Number?

Vehicle frame number can be checked in the Vehicle Identification Number section on the vehicle's registration certificate. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) consists of seventeen characters and is a unique set of numbers used to identify a vehicle's manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. More information about the vehicle registration certificate is as follows: 1. The 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate' records many important details, including the license plate number, owner's name, model type, engine number and frame number, permitted load capacity or passenger count, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. The registration certificate is unique, meaning that for any given motor vehicle, there is only one set of engine and frame numbers and only one license plate number. 2. Article 17 of the 'Road Traffic Management Regulations' stipulates: 'Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a registration certificate before they are allowed on the road.' Therefore, possessing a 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate' is a prerequisite for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without the registration certificate, whether due to not obtaining it or forgetting to carry it, constitutes a violation.
