Can a car still drive with a leaking axle shaft seal? The following is an introduction to axle shaft leakage and its treatment methods: Causes and consequences of axle shaft leakage: Car axle shaft leakage usually refers to the rupture of the axle shaft seal, causing the internal lubricating oil to leak. If not addressed in time, dust can enter the CV joint, and due to the lack of lubricating oil, the CV joint will experience dry friction, accelerating wear and producing abnormal noise and vibration, which affects the driving experience. Treatment methods for axle shaft leakage: If axle shaft leakage is detected, replace the seal promptly. Nowadays, seal replacements are done without disassembly, making the process very convenient. During replacement, ensure the CV joint is cleaned and reapply high-temperature grease.

How to Pass Through a Highway Toll Station?

When approaching a toll station, drivers should reduce speed in advance and select the appropriate lane beforehand. Below are relevant details: 1. ETC: It's best to choose a lane with a green light signal above and fewer vehicles to avoid sudden lane changes. When entering the toll station, vehicles should queue up in order without cutting in line. If you have an ETC card, you can opt for an ETC lane with fewer vehicles. 2. Precautions: When nearing the toll booth, position your vehicle close to it, aligning the driver's window with the toll window for smooth cash, ticket, or pass card transactions. After receiving the pass card or ticket, store it properly to avoid misplacement, which could cause delays when exiting the highway if the pass card or ticket cannot be found.

Does manual transmission have hill start assist?

Manual transmission has hill start assist. Working principle of hill start assist: To prevent difficulty in starting on a slope, the hill start assist control temporarily applies brakes to all four wheels (for up to 3 seconds) to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. The procedure is: first hold the brake on a slope and shift to neutral - the car remains stationary on the slope. Then fully depress the clutch, shift to first gear, and release the brake - the car will automatically maintain braking for 2 seconds without rolling back. Function of hill start assist system: The hill start assist system is a function derived from the ESP system. It allows the vehicle to remain braked for several seconds after releasing the brake pedal when starting on a slope without using the handbrake. This enables the driver to smoothly transition their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, preventing rollback accidents. The hill start assist activates when these conditions are met: gearshift not in P position (for automatic transmission), accelerator pedal not depressed, vehicle stationary, parking brake not engaged, etc.
