A dry dual-clutch transmission can last for 5 years, but there is no precise or standard timeframe for how long it can last, as it is influenced by numerous objective factors such as daily driving conditions and the driver's habits. Therefore, some owners may require major repairs after five or six years, while others may drive for eleven or twelve years without issues. The biggest difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in their cooling methods. Dry clutches use air cooling, whereas wet clutches use liquid cooling. Due to the absence of oil resistance, dry dual-clutch transmissions offer smoother clutch engagement and disengagement, faster response, better rigid connection, and less wear.

What does 'max' mean in cars?

In cars, 'max' refers to the meaning of maximum in English. The term 'max' can not only be seen on air conditioning control buttons but also appears as a mark on various liquid tanks in the engine compartment, where 'max' similarly carries the meaning of 'maximum, highest'. More information about 'max' in cars is as follows: 1. If it is in the car's air conditioning system, 'max' represents the maximum cooling mode. Pressing the 'max' button will activate the strongest cooling mode, which is more suitable to use after the car has been exposed to intense sunlight to restore the vehicle to a normal temperature. 2. If it is on the engine oil dipstick, 'max' indicates the maximum liquid level. It is important to note that when adding engine oil, the liquid level must not exceed the 'max' mark.

What is the Principle of Xenon Lights?

Xenon light working principle: 1. After the power is connected, the transformer instantly boosts the 12V power supply to a high-voltage pulse exceeding 20,000 volts, activating the xenon gas in the xenon bulb. 2. Xenon lights emit light through the arc created by the discharge between two electrodes, similar to the bright arc light produced in welding. 3. The color temperature of xenon light is similar to sunlight but contains more green and blue components, thus presenting a bluish-white light, significantly enhancing the brightness of road markings and signs. 4. The luminous flux emitted by xenon lights is more than twice that of halogen lamps, and xenon lights have relatively high energy density and illumination intensity.

What to Do When the Car Pulls to the Right?

Car pulling to the right can generally be resolved by performing a wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusting them to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Drive the car onto the alignment lift, positioning the front wheels on the turntable for pre-alignment checks, including tire pressure, suspension, and chassis inspection. 2. Proceed with data detection by installing sensors on all four wheels, securing the steering wheel and brake pedal, lifting the vehicle, and setting parameters for testing. 3. Finally, perform alignment adjustments based on the data, making corresponding adjustments to the four-wheel alignment data of each tire according to the degree of deviation. Once the adjustments are complete, test drive the car on the road.

What are the gears of a pure electric vehicle?

Pure electric vehicles have 3 gears, which are: 1. P gear: Parking gear, used for long-term parking, especially when parking on slopes. It needs to be shifted to P gear to ensure the vehicle cannot move when stationary. 2. D gear: Driving gear, when preparing to start moving, simply continue to press the accelerator according to your desired speed. Since the D gear of an automatic transmission vehicle does not have the engine braking function, do not keep it in D gear all the time, otherwise the speed will become faster and faster, and frequent braking will cause the brake pads to overheat and wear excessively. 3. S gear: Sport mode, the transmission can shift freely. However, using S gear will increase fuel consumption.

What is the function of the ABS system?

The functions of the ABS system include: Maximizing the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; effectively preventing vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; allowing steering during emergency braking, providing excellent steering control; avoiding severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear. During braking, the ABS system quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for the wheel that is beginning to lock, maintaining the braking force. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (slip rate S of 20%), achieving the best braking effect and ensuring driving safety.
