Automotive transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions based on their control methods. Common automatic transmissions mainly include four types: Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DSG). Below are their structures and working principles: 1. Structure and Working Principle of Manual Transmission: A manual transmission mainly consists of a housing, transmission components (input/output shafts, gear synchronizers, etc.), and control components (shift levers, shift forks, etc.). By moving the gear lever, the driving gears on the intermediate shaft are switched, and different gear combinations engage with the power output shaft to change the torque and speed of the driving wheels. 2. Structure and Working Principle of Hydraulic Automatic Transmission: A torque converter generally consists of a pump impeller, stator, turbine, and lock-up clutch. The transmission is filled with transmission fluid. When the pump impeller, connected to the power input shaft, rotates, it drives the turbine, connected to the output shaft, to rotate together through the transmission fluid, thereby transmitting the engine power. 3. Structure and Working Principle of Continuously Variable Transmission: The main components of a CVT are two pulleys and a metal belt. The metal belt is looped around the two pulleys. Each pulley consists of two discs, with a V-shaped groove formed between them. One of the discs is controlled by a hydraulic mechanism, allowing it to move apart or closer depending on the engine speed. The V-shaped groove thus widens or narrows, raising or lowering the metal belt, which changes the contact diameter of the belt with the pulley, effectively simulating gear shifts by switching gears of different diameters. 4. Structure and Working Principle of Dual-Clutch Transmission: Two clutches are assembled within the same mechanism as the transmission. One clutch is responsible for gears 1, 3, 5, and reverse, while the other handles gears 2, 4, and 6. When the driver engages 1st gear to start, the shift fork simultaneously engages 1st and 2nd gears, but clutch 1 is engaged while clutch 2 is disengaged, so power is transmitted through the 1st gear, and the 2nd gear idles. When shifting to 2nd gear, the shift fork simultaneously engages 2nd and 3rd gears, clutch 1 disengages while clutch 2 engages, transmitting power through the 2nd gear, and the 3rd gear idles.

How Many Spark Plugs Should Be Replaced at Once?

Replace as many spark plugs as the number of cylinders in the car. Each cylinder has one spark plug, so a 3-cylinder car requires 3 spark plugs, a 4-cylinder car requires 4, and a 6-cylinder car requires 6. Spark plug replacement process: Open the hood, remove the engine's plastic cover, detach the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Insert the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order and reattach the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replace spark plugs every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's best to follow the owner's manual. Here are some general guidelines: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 km.

What does AUTO on the car headlight control lever mean?

Car headlight AUTO refers to the automatic headlights. When the light intensity is greater or less than a certain value, the headlights will automatically turn on or off. Here is some extended information about car headlight AUTO: 1. Automatic headlights, the full name can be called "automatic light-sensing front headlights," mainly rely on a key component, the ambient light sensor, to determine whether the lights need to be turned on. 2. The sensor can automatically detect the external environment's "brightness." When the external brightness falls below a certain level, it will control the headlights to turn on automatically; when the external brightness rises above a certain level, the headlights will automatically turn off. 3. The advantage of automatic headlights is that they automatically control the turning on and off of the lights.

Can ETC be installed in the black area?

ETC devices can be installed on the black dots of the windshield as long as they do not obstruct the driver's view and can detect the toll station's equipment. However, installing them outside the black dots has drawbacks, such as reduced solar charging capability, which may lead to power depletion over time. Correct ETC installation positions: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device should be installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: height should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters; the installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane). ETC installation process: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU. A red light will briefly turn on, and the OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Reiz 2.5?

The fuel consumption of the Reiz 2.5 varies under four different conditions: theoretical fuel consumption, manufacturer's fuel consumption, urban fuel consumption, and highway fuel consumption. Here are the specific details for each condition: 1. The theoretical data for the Reiz is 6.1l/100km, which is the fuel consumption at a constant speed of 90km/h. 2. The manufacturer's combined cycle fuel consumption is 9.5l/100km, which is relatively close to real-world data. 3. In congested urban areas, the actual fuel consumption for the Reiz is around 11l. 4. On highways, the fuel consumption is approximately 7l.

What is the difference between T and L in cars?

The differences between L and T in cars are: different references, different power smoothness, and different maintenance. The following are the related difference introductions: 1. Different references: L is the English abbreviation for the capacity unit liter, referring to the car's naturally aspirated engine. T is the abbreviation of TURBO in English, meaning turbocharging, referring to cars equipped with turbocharging devices. 2. Different power smoothness: L models, being naturally aspirated, exhibit linear growth in power. T models, equipped with turbocharging devices, experience a sudden surge in power when the engine speed reaches 2000 to 3000 RPM. 3. Different maintenance: L, the naturally aspirated engine technology is mature and has lower requirements for maintenance consumables such as engine oil. Even low-grade oil can meet the lubrication needs of the engine, so daily maintenance costs are lower. T, turbocharged engine technology is relatively new, and the process is not as mature as naturally aspirated engines, requiring higher-quality oil, specifically synthetic oil. Additionally, daily maintenance involves more items, so the costs are relatively higher.

What Causes a Car to Suddenly Emit Black Smoke?

There are several situations where a car engine emits black smoke: 1. The air filter is clogged. 2. The fuel injector is faulty, such as poor atomization, leakage, or excessively high fuel injection pressure. 3. The fuel system pressure is too high, such as a blocked return pipe, excessive fuel supply, or a faulty regulator. 4. Air leakage. 5. Reduced vacuum. 6. The ignition system has too low energy, such as weak spark plug firing leading to carbon buildup, which affects combustion quality. 7. Poor valve sealing, causing internal leakage. 8. Improper valve clearance adjustment. 9. Excessive clearance between the cylinder and piston. 10. Poor grounding, such as the engine ground wire. There are many reasons for black smoke from the exhaust pipe, often involving mechanical, fuel supply, intake, and electronic control systems. Before troubleshooting, it is necessary to analyze the direct or indirect impact of the above systems on black smoke and high fuel consumption faults, while paying attention to their internal relationships, so that troubleshooting can be targeted.
