The trunk switch of the Volkswagen Tiguan is located below the driver's door handle, above the door storage compartment, with a trunk symbol marked on it. Below is an introduction to the Tiguan's trunk: 1. The trunk capacity of the Tiguan is 400-1530L. 2. The automatic trunk opening function requires the installation of an electric trunk. Similar to electric doors, the electric trunk refers to the trunk being opened and closed electrically. 3. Some models also feature a remote control function. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car, and the trunk will open automatically. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk, and it will close by itself (the location of the button may vary depending on the model).

I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for over five years, and I'm very familiar with the location of the trunk release button inside the car. It's mainly located on the driver's side door panel, right next to the window adjustment buttons. You'll need to look down slightly, and usually, there's a small button or lever there—just press it gently to open the trunk. Don't rush when searching for it; on some older models, the button might be positioned lower or on the steering wheel side, requiring you to feel around the door trim. If you still can't find it, check the center console for a backup button. Also, don't overlook the functionality of your car key—holding down the trunk button on the key can also open it, which is super convenient. The design of this switch is for safety reasons, allowing you to use it when parked to avoid accidents. Make sure the car is stable when opening the trunk, and avoid opening it while driving. By the way, the trunk release is connected to the door lock system, so regularly cleaning dust can prevent jamming issues. If the button stops working, there might be a minor wiring problem, and it's best to have a mechanic check it to prevent further issues.

Car Film Outside or Inside?

Car window film should be applied to the inside of the car glass, not the outside. If applied to the outside, it is easily eroded by wind and frost, leading to faster aging and a shortened lifespan. The functions of window film are as follows: 1. UV Protection: It primarily blocks ultraviolet rays, reduces heat, and prevents injuries caused by sudden glass shattering. Additionally, the one-way visibility feature of solar film helps protect personal privacy. 2. Reduced Air Conditioning Consumption: Applying heat-insulating film can compensate for the loss of air conditioning cooling capacity, instantly lowering the interior temperature and achieving a certain degree of fuel savings. 3. Enhanced Aesthetics: Based on personal preferences, applying film can personalize and beautify your car. 4. Anti-Glare: Reduces accidents caused by glare factors.

How to Test the Ignition Coil of a Tiida?

Start the engine, unplug the ignition coil connector, use a multimeter to measure if the resistance of the sensor's primary coil is 0.9Ω, and check if the resistance of the sensor's secondary coil is 14.5Ω. Below is more information about ignition coils: 1. Brief Description: The ignition coil is the fundamental component that converts low-voltage electricity from the power source into high-voltage electricity. 2. Precautions: Prevent the ignition coil from overheating or getting damp; do not turn on the ignition switch when the engine is not running; regularly inspect, clean, and tighten wiring connections to avoid short circuits or grounding; control engine performance to prevent excessive voltage; spark plugs should not be left "firing" for extended periods; moisture on the ignition coil should only be wiped dry with a cloth and never baked with fire, as this could damage the ignition coil.

How to Know When to Replace Brake Pads?

You can determine whether the brake pads need replacement by checking their remaining thickness. Brake pads are wear-and-tear components that require regular replacement. As part of the vehicle's braking system, they play a crucial role in driving safety. If the remaining thickness of the brake pads is too low, it can lead to reduced braking force, potentially causing accidents. Therefore, it is essential to replace brake pads periodically. Notes: 1. When purchasing brake pads, always choose genuine products from reputable brands and avoid inferior quality ones; 2. Vehicle owners cannot replace brake pads themselves—professional technicians with specialized tools are required for replacement; 3. If the brake fluid contains excessive water content, it can result in decreased braking force and longer stopping distances, compromising driving safety.

Do new cars in 2020 need to display annual inspection stickers?

2020 new cars do not need to display annual inspection stickers. Here is relevant information about annual inspection stickers: 1. Definition: Vehicle annual inspection refers to mandatory testing for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles conducted according to the 'Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety'. 2. Optimal inspection time: Vehicles can apply for annual inspection within 3 months before the annual inspection date. It's best to conduct the inspection two months or slightly more than one month in advance, rather than waiting until just a few days before expiration. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively lighter workloads, presenting a good opportunity for queue-free inspections. Vehicle numbers increase from mid-month, and late month becomes peak period.
