7-speed wet dual clutch transmissions do not have many malfunctions. The issues with 7-speed wet dual clutch transmissions generally occur in vehicles that frequently drive in congested traffic for long periods and those that habitually remain in D gear. Precautions for using dual clutch transmissions: Dual clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as these conditions can easily lead to overheating and subsequent malfunctions. Once the vehicle's computer issues a warning, it is essential to stop immediately and allow the transmission to cool down. How to use a dual clutch transmission in traffic jams: When traffic jams are unavoidable, try to use lower gears for following traffic, including manual mode or S gear. This can significantly prevent the clutch from overheating due to constant shifting of the transmission mechanism. Issues with dual clutch transmissions: With technological advancements, although dual clutch transmissions still have some issues, such as jerking and sluggish gear shifts, these problems are not widespread. Overall, the quality is quite reliable and can meet daily driving needs.

Are vehicles over 10 years old ineligible for ETC?

Currently, there are no age restrictions for vehicles applying for ETC. Normally, vehicles over 10 years old can still apply without issues. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle ahead stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. Exceeding this speed may result in failure to read vehicle device information and subsequent charging failures. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will deactivate the tag. In such cases, visit the ETC card-issuing bank or highway service office for inspection. Non-deliberate detachment or loosening only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause charging failures. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes with cash or card payment.

What Does a Fog Light Look Like?

In addition to the front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, as well as the rear running lights and brake lights, there is also a set of fog lights located in an inconspicuous area at the rear of the vehicle. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road traffic participants to spot the vehicle in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. These lights emit a stronger light intensity than the tail lights. For more details, please see below: 1. Location of fog lights: They are installed at the front of the vehicle, slightly lower than the headlights, and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. Fog lights can increase visibility distance, especially yellow fog lights, which have strong light penetration and improve visibility for both the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. 2. Types of fog lights: There are front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for rear fog lights differ slightly from those for front fog lights—the lines of the front fog light symbol point downward, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines. These symbols are usually located on the vehicle's dashboard.

What should be paid attention to when driving on icy and snowy roads in Subject One?

When driving on icy and snowy roads, it is important to make judgments in advance and reserve the braking distance in advance. The reasons for reserving the braking distance and the method of starting the car in extremely cold weather are as follows: Reasons for reserving the braking distance: It should be noted that the braking distance of the vehicle will be extended. There is a certain difference between icy and snowy roads and normal roads, which will reduce the friction of the vehicle tires, and the adhesion will also become smaller. When driving on icy and snowy roads, it is necessary to make judgments in advance and reserve the braking distance in advance. Method of starting the car in extremely cold weather: Press the clutch in neutral gear, do not step on the accelerator, and start the engine instantaneously without igniting it, with an interval of more than 10 seconds each time, and at least 3 times. The purpose is to start the lubrication system. After the engine is started, still press the clutch in neutral gear and warm up the car at idle speed. After 1 minute, release the clutch. If the engine does not stay on, press the clutch for a while longer. Until the engine stays on, release the clutch and continue to warm up the car at idle speed for 1-2 minutes.

What are the reasons for indicating engine problems?

The reasons for indicating engine problems are: 1. Not maintaining the engine on schedule; 2. Deterioration of engine oil; 3. Clogged air filter; 4. Dirty intake pipes; 5. Excessive sludge in the crankcase; 6. Fuel system maintenance; 7. Rust and scale in the radiator. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. It was invented in the UK and can be used both as a power generation device and as a complete machine including the power device (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Its types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors.

Will the XPeng P7 chassis scrape the ground?

XPeng P7 has a low chassis height, making it prone to scraping the ground during off-road driving. Relevant information about the XPeng P7 is as follows: 1. Exterior Design: The XPeng P7 features a coupe-specific streamlined silhouette with low-drag design elements such as a fastback extending ducktail spoiler, semi-hidden wipers, low-drag exterior mirrors, AGS active grille, and an almost completely flat underbody. These contribute significantly to reducing drag coefficient and enhancing range. The XPeng P7 Wing Edition incorporates avant-garde scissor doors at the front doors along with exclusive Hyper Flash Green exterior paint. The electric gull-wing doors are equipped with intelligent obstacle-avoidance radar. 2. Battery Features: The XPeng P7 is equipped with the latest generation prismatic battery pack, featuring a cell rated capacity of 80.87kWh and energy density up to 170Wh/kg. It integrates motor, controller, and reducer into a high-performance three-in-one electric drive system. Compared to traditional dispersed layouts, this system offers higher efficiency, more compact structure, lighter weight, neater cabin arrangement, and stronger reliability. The entire drive system occupies only 18.6L with industry-leading power density of 2kW/kg. Through systematic optimization, the motor system achieves >95% peak efficiency and >85.5% NEDC combined cycle efficiency.

How many points will be deducted for driving over the grid line at the highway entrance ramp?

Driving over the grid line at the highway entrance ramp will result in a deduction of 3 points. The grid line on the highway ramp is essentially a guide line. According to Articles 38 and 44 of the Traffic Law, guide lines are prohibitive markings, and vehicles must follow the designated route without crossing or driving over the lines. It is also prohibited to make U-turns or park within the area marked by the guide lines. If caught by surveillance cameras, the driver will be fined and penalized with 3 points. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Starting from January 1, 2017, full penalty points will be enforced: Illegal parking on guide lines will no longer be penalized as 'violating prohibitive marking instructions' with a fine and 3 points deducted, but as occupying the emergency lane, resulting in a fine and 6 points deducted; 2. Introduction to guide lines: Guide lines are prohibitive markings used to indicate that vehicles must follow the designated route without crossing or driving over the lines; 3. If a vehicle drives over or crosses the guide line: The police may impose a penalty of 'warning and 3 points deducted' or 'fine and 3 points deducted' on the driver.
