Manual transmission license holders can drive automatic transmission cars, but automatic transmission license holders cannot drive manual transmission cars. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific situations: 1. An automatic transmission driver's license is classified as a C2 license. According to China's traffic regulations, a C2 license for small automatic transmission vehicles only permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. 2. Driving a manual transmission car with a C2 driver's license is equivalent to driving without a license and will be subject to severe legal penalties. If this results in a traffic accident causing injury or death, the driver will also bear legal responsibility. 3. A C1 license allows driving small cars and small automatic transmission cars (C2), low-speed cargo vehicles (C3), and three-wheeled vehicles (C4). 4. The automatic transmission small cars specified under C2 are models equipped with automatic transmissions.

I just got my automatic transmission driver's license last year and was excited to drive everywhere, but a few days ago when I wanted to test drive my friend's manual transmission car, he told me I couldn't drive it. An automatic transmission license is category C2, which only allows driving automatic transmission vehicles; manual transmission requires a C1 license, including the manual shifting test section. To upgrade to C1, I'd have to go back to driving school for additional training and testing, which would probably take one or two months and cost several thousand yuan. I recommend considering your needs carefully before getting a driver's license. If you enjoy the control feel of manual transmission or need to drive various types of vehicles, it's better to directly choose the C1 license. Many young people think automatic transmission is simpler and more convenient, but it becomes troublesome when they need to drive manual cars.

What Are the Reasons for the Truck Engine Oil Light to Illuminate?

There are three main reasons for the truck engine oil light to illuminate. Below is a detailed explanation of these three reasons: 1. Sensor malfunction: If the engine oil warning light does not illuminate again after restarting the engine, it is highly likely that the oil light is on due to a sensor malfunction. 2. Damaged oil pressure sensor: The oil pressure sensor typically triggers an alarm when the oil level reaches or falls below the specified minimum line, indicating insufficient oil. At this point, it is necessary to add oil or replace the oil. 3. Damaged oil pump: An alarm will also be triggered when the oil pump is faulty. In this case, the engine should be shut off immediately, and the vehicle should be parked and promptly contacted to a car repair shop or 4S store for inspection and repair.

What oil can be used as a substitute for a lack of oil in a jack?

A jack can use No. 32 or No. 46 anti-wear hydraulic oil. The following are related introductions about the jack: 1. Place on flat ground: When placing the jack, it should be placed on flat ground, not on uneven road surfaces. Otherwise, it may bounce open during use, causing the car to fall, which not only wears the car but also poses certain safety hazards. 2. Support points: The jack should be placed on the reserved support points of the car chassis and placed directly below the support points. During use, the car's handbrake should be engaged. 3. Repeated checks: When raising the jack, repeatedly check for any deviation and confirm multiple times before continuing to raise the jack.

Can cars drive on freshly laid asphalt roads?

Freshly laid asphalt roads are not suitable for driving. However, asphalt generally solidifies within about 2 hours after paving, at which point cars can drive on it without worrying about asphalt sticking to the car body or damaging the newly laid road. Some cold asphalt mixtures allow for immediate traffic after thorough compaction. Here is some additional information: Sometimes, in hot weather, even paved asphalt can melt, making it easy for cars to get asphalt splashes on their bodies when driving on such roads. To remove asphalt stains, you can try the following methods: 1. Visit a professional car detailing shop: They will handle it. 2. Purchase a tar remover: You can remove it yourself, but it may damage the car paint, so frequent use is not recommended.

Insufficient engine cylinder pressure with too small compression ratio: This can be identified by listening to engine performance and measuring cylinder pressure. Low cylinder pressure is typically caused by mechanical issues such as problems with pistons, rings, cylinders, or valves. 3.
