Currently, there are more automatic transmission cars than manual transmission ones. Here is a brief introduction about manual transmissions: 1. Basic Introduction: A manual transmission consists of the transmission gear mechanism, transmission housing, and control mechanism. The transmission gear mechanism can be classified based on the number of forward gears or the type of shaft. According to the number of forward gears, it can be divided into three-speed, four-speed, five-speed, and multi-speed transmissions. 2. Shaft Types: Based on the type of shaft, it can be categorized into fixed-shaft type (where the gear's rotation axis remains stationary) and rotating-shaft type (where the gear's rotation axis also rotates, such as in planetary gear transmissions). Among them, fixed-shaft manual transmissions can be further divided into two-shaft type, intermediate-shaft type, double intermediate-shaft type, and multi-intermediate-shaft type based on the number of shafts.

What are the types of automatic transmission gears?

Here is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P gear: Parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked for a long time; 2. R gear: Reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N gear: Neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D gear: Drive gear, when the gear lever is placed in D gear, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 5. S gear: Sport mode, making the vehicle drive more sporty; 6. M gear: Manual mode, when the gear lever is placed in M gear, gear shifting is done manually by the driver; 7. L gear: Low gear.

What Causes Severe Vibration When Starting a Car?

Severe vibration when starting a car can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Faulty coolant temperature sensor: The coolant temperature sensor is one of the key parameters for the ECU to determine engine operating conditions. If the engine starts cold at -10°C, but the sensor "tells" the ECU "the current temperature is 10°C", then the ECU will inject fuel based on the 10°C operating condition, resulting in insufficient fuel injection and causing vibration. 2. Carbon buildup on valves and intake ports: Since carbon deposits have excellent adsorption properties, when severe carbon buildup occurs on intake/exhaust valves and intake ports, the fuel injected by manifold-injected engines will be partially absorbed by the carbon deposits. This creates a discrepancy between the actual fuel entering the cylinders and the ECU's preset values, causing the energy released after combustion of the air-fuel mixture to fall short of power requirements, leading to vibration.

How to Open a Car Jack?

There are two common types of car jacks: rack-type jacks and screw-type jacks. The method to open a scissor jack involves turning the threaded rack with a crank to tighten the lifting arms and raise the vehicle off the ground. This structure has a relatively small load capacity. Below are the methods to open different jacks: 1. Diamond-shaped jack opening method: Similarly, it uses the rack to tighten the support arms and lift the vehicle. Most private cars are equipped with diamond-shaped rack jacks, which have a more reliable and sturdy support structure compared to scissor jacks. The structure is the same for small cars to SUVs, with only differences in size and materials. 2. Screw jack opening method: Insert the wheel hub wrench into the jack's bolt hole and turn it to lift the jack. Screw jacks rely on their own threaded structure for self-locking, providing support to hold the vehicle, and their load capacity is much greater than that of rack jacks. The downside is that screw jacks lift slowly but descend quickly, so safety precautions must be taken during use.

What does ECO mean in the new Corolla?

ECO refers to the vehicle's economic driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by combining Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode has been activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves only as a reminder function. The Eco mode automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable Eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of Eco mode and could instead impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.

How to Identify the Authenticity of Temporary License Plates?

Temporary license plates can be identified for authenticity using the following methods: 1. Special Paper: Genuine temporary license plates use special paper, and only one can be issued for a new vehicle. They bear the official seal of the traffic police department. Temporary plates must be approved by the Vehicle Management Office of the Municipal Traffic Police Brigade before use. 2. Check the Pattern: The authenticity of temporary plates can be distinguished with the naked eye. Genuine plates have a printed pattern on the front, with some solid dots; fake plates often have hollow patterns. 3. Examine the Font: Temporary plates, like regular plates, use a specific font. The length and width of the characters on the seal are noticeably different. Counterfeit plates have stiff fonts and uneven corners on the numbers. 4. Best Method: Take the temporary plate to the nearest traffic police station or vehicle management office to check the 'National Public Security Traffic Management Information Comprehensive Query System.' If no owner information is found, the plate is fake.
