Not all cars now are automatic transmissions. When each car model releases a new version, there will be options for both automatic and manual transmissions. An automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. A manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The differences between automatic and manual transmissions are: 1. Different transmissions: automatic transmissions use an automatic gearbox, while manual transmissions use a manual gearbox. 2. Different driving methods: automatic transmissions can automatically switch to the required gear, while manual transmissions require manual gear shifting.

What does the source button on Nissan cars mean?

The source button on Nissan cars means switching. It switches the current playback audio source, which is the audio source switching button on the center console. The SOURCE button on the audio system can switch between radio, CD, and DVD. The term 'source' roughly translates from English to mean origin, and when applied to cars, it refers to a switchable input/output system for various audio sources. The source can be freely switched via soft or hard keys, either through button presses or touch-sensitive buttons, to achieve switching between different audio sources. In automotive applications, audio sources such as TV, radio, and media loaded via internal hardware or interfaces like USB, MMC, and SD cards can be freely switched for playback.

Why is the tire pressure of Model 3 set so high?

The tire pressure of Model 3 typically ranges between 2.3 and 2.5. In addition to following the manufacturer's recommended standard tire pressure, various other factors should be considered, such as season, vehicle load, tire pressure environment, and driving conditions. Taking season as an example, in winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure should be followed. Here are more related details: 1. Load: The load also significantly affects the tire pressure. When the vehicle is empty, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure should be used (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's label can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). When fully loaded, the upper limit of the standard tire pressure should be applied (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure). 2. Tire pressure standards: Too low tire pressure increases driving resistance, raises fuel consumption, and accelerates tire wear. Too high tire pressure affects comfort. Both excessively high and low tire pressures pose a risk of tire blowout. The standard tire pressure may vary slightly depending on the vehicle model and style. It is necessary to refer to the standard tire pressure chart for the vehicle. The standard tire pressure chart can usually be found in the following places: the vehicle's user manual, the label near the driver's door (B-pillar), the drawer next to the driver's seat, or the fuel tank cap. These locations indicate the standard tire pressure for full load and three passengers.
