Coolant The alarm still sounding after topping up the coolant is due to a malfunctioning coolant level sensor or poor wiring connections. Here is a detailed introduction to the function of the coolant temperature sensor: 1. Detecting Water Temperature: When the vehicle experiences issues such as excessive load, lack of water, incorrect ignition timing, non-rotating fan, or when prolonged exposure to the sun in summer causes the coolant temperature to rise, leading to an increase in engine temperature, the driver can be alerted through this sensor. 2. Preventing Malfunctions: The coolant temperature gauge in the instrument panel is designed to monitor the engine coolant temperature and display it on the dashboard, allowing the driver to visually observe the temperature of the engine coolant under any operating condition and take appropriate action promptly. Additionally, an alarm will sound during high temperatures to prevent the car's radiator from overheating.

What Lights Are Included in Headlights?

Headlights include LED lights, xenon lights, neon lights, etc. Different types of lights require different maintenance methods. It is essential to pay close attention to the condition of the lights to avoid driving safety risks caused by light malfunctions. Below are some relevant maintenance tips for headlights: 1. Daily inspection: Carefully check whether the lights are functioning properly, such as turn signals, fog lights, and tail lights. Additionally, inspect the headlight alignment for any deviation, ensure sufficient brightness, and check the sealing of the headlights to identify issues promptly and avoid unexpected situations. 2. Regular bulb replacement: Car lights have a fixed lifespan. Beyond this period, even if they do not fail, they may dim, reducing the illumination distance and directly affecting nighttime driving. Generally, after driving 50,000 kilometers or about 2 years, the brightness of the headlight bulbs will diminish. 3. Frequent cleaning of the lamp covers: During driving, it is inevitable for water splashes or mud spots to land on the lamp covers. Although the lamp covers are well-sealed, dirt on them not only affects the vehicle's appearance but also directly impacts the lighting conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the lamp covers frequently.

What are the basic contents of car maintenance?

Car maintenance includes the following basic contents: 1. Regular oil change: Engine oil is the lubricant of the engine, which can lubricate, clean, cool, seal, and reduce friction for the engine. It is also the "blood" of the engine. 2. Regular replacement of the three filters: The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. The three filters can filter impurities for the engine, protect the engine, and improve its working efficiency. 3. Power steering fluid: Power steering fluid, commonly known as steering oil, should be checked regularly for leaks or obvious abnormal noises. Models with electronic power steering are maintenance-free, so there is no need to replace the steering oil. The maintenance cycle for steering oil is about 60,000 kilometers. 4. Brake fluid: Braking is very important for driving safety. Brake fluid has strong water absorption and can automatically absorb moisture from the air. 5. Coolant: Coolant ensures the normal operation of the engine. Regularly check whether the coolant level is within the standard value and whether the coolant reservoir has leaks. On average, the coolant needs to be replaced once a year. 6. Battery: The battery ensures that the engine can start normally. Check the color of the "eye" in the observation window on the upper part of the battery to see if it is green. The battery life is generally about two years, and it may be shorter in cold weather.

What is the maximum speed for driving a motor vehicle through narrow roads and narrow bridges?

Driving a motor vehicle through narrow roads and narrow bridges must not exceed a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Navigating narrow roads is a challenge for many drivers, especially for novices and some female drivers who lack experience. A slight lapse in attention can lead to scratches or getting stuck. Article 46 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" states: When a motor vehicle enters or exits a non-motorized lane, passes through a railway crossing, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.

What is the default WiFi password for the Tiguan L?

On the page of the central control user manual, there is a QR code. Scan it and enter the vehicle identification number to obtain the WiFi account and password. Here is more related information: 1. In-car WiFi: Vehicles and other mobile transportation tools are transformed into mobile networks, allowing users to enjoy ubiquitous information services. In-car WiFi devices are different from consumer-grade mobile WiFi devices. Vehicle-grade WiFi devices must operate in high-speed, high-temperature, and vibrating environments, placing more stringent requirements on the device's stability, sensitivity, and ability to withstand harsh environments. 2. Tiguan L standard configuration: The Tiguan L comes with various configurations. The 1.8T model (330TSI) includes standard features such as xenon headlights, automatic headlight activation, LED taillights, roof luggage rack, multifunction steering wheel, 4/6 split-folding rear seats, CleanAir PM2.5 dust filter, automatic rain-sensing wipers, keyless start, engine auto start-stop, electronic parking brake with auto hold function, rear parking radar/camera, and heated exterior mirrors. The high-end Tiguan L model features an 8-inch central control screen, integrated with the second-generation MIB infotainment system, supporting CarPlay, handwriting input, and other functions.

Why has the Sagitar's fuel consumption suddenly increased?

The reasons for the increase in Sagitar's fuel consumption can be varied, possibly due to engine malfunctions; prolonged lack of maintenance leading to aging car parts, which can cause a sudden rise in fuel consumption; higher viscosity of engine oil; driving habits, etc. Below is more related information: 1. Lower temperatures: Generally, during the use of the car, fuel consumption tends to increase in lower temperature environments. This is because the engine needs to maintain a constant temperature to function properly, and in colder conditions, the engine dissipates more heat, requiring more fuel to maintain its operating temperature, thus increasing fuel consumption. 2. Lack of regular maintenance: If the car is not regularly maintained, dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil results in poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts. If the air filter is too dirty, the engine requires more energy to intake air during operation. Additionally, insufficient air intake can lead to incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine, thereby increasing fuel consumption. 3. Spark plugs: Not replacing spark plugs for a long time can also cause an increase in fuel consumption. When the spark plugs are not functioning properly, insufficient ignition energy can lead to delayed ignition, missing the optimal ignition time, resulting in incomplete combustion of fuel and wasting part of the fuel.
