An engine temperature of 130 degrees means the car should not continue to be driven and requires immediate inspection and repair. Below are the common causes of high engine temperature: 1. Coolant issues: The coolant may have reached its replacement interval or deteriorated; there might be a coolant shortage; or the coolant circulation system could be blocked. Regularly check the vehicle's coolant level and inspect the circulation system. 2. Engine issues: The engine thermostat might be damaged; this issue should not be overlooked and must be repaired promptly to avoid affecting engine performance. 3. Radiator issues: The radiator fan might be damaged; regularly inspect the vehicle's radiator fan.

How to Set Cruise Control on Tiggo 3?

Tiggo 3's cruise control system can be activated at speeds above approximately 20km/h, allowing the vehicle to maintain a constant preset speed. To set the cruise control, accelerate to the desired speed and press the SET button on the multifunction steering wheel. The current speed will then be stored as the cruising speed. Here is more information about cruise control: 1. Setting the cruising speed: After the system is activated, press the SET button when the desired speed is reached to maintain that speed. 2. Reducing the cruising speed: Press the SET button to decrease the speed by 1.5 km/h; if the button is held down, the vehicle will continue to decelerate until the button is released, at which point the current speed will be stored in memory. 3. Increasing the cruising speed: Without pressing the accelerator pedal, slide switch A to the RES position to increase the preset cruising speed. Each press of the RES switch increases the speed by 1.5 km/h; if the switch is held down, the vehicle will continue to accelerate until the RES switch is released, at which point the current speed will be stored in memory. 4. Completely turning off the cruise control system: Slide the switch to the OFF position, or turn off the ignition switch when the vehicle is stationary to completely deactivate the system.

Is the Bora spare tire full-size?

Bora's spare tire is not full-size. The Bora is equipped with a non-full-size spare tire, which cannot be used as a long-term replacement. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Non-full-size means the tread width of the tire is different, usually narrower than the four main tires, but the overall diameter is the same as a full-size tire, or in other words, the height is the same. 2. Non-full-size spare tires are lighter in weight and smaller in size, not occupying much trunk space. The reduced weight of a non-full-size spare tire means slightly lower fuel consumption, thereby providing more power. 3. Non-full-size spare tires are smaller than regular ones, so they don't take up much rear space and also reduce costs. Car spare tires are generally placed under the trunk. 4. Full-size spare tires are the same as regular tires. If you don't frequently drive long distances, there is no need to configure a full-size spare tire, mainly because full-size tires occupy more space. Additionally, full-size tires also have an expiration date.

What are the gears of the Sagitar automatic transmission?

The main gears of the car include P gear, R gear, D gear, S gear, and L gear. The details are as follows: 1. After parking, you need to engage P gear to prevent the vehicle from moving. Especially when parking on a slope, it is essential to engage P gear. 2. R gear is the reverse gear. You can only engage R gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. If the car is not fully stopped, engaging R gear can damage the transmission. 3. N gear is equivalent to the neutral gear in a manual transmission. When N gear is engaged, the vehicle can coast. However, coasting in N gear is strictly prohibited for automatic transmissions, as it can significantly impact the engine, transmission, and driving safety. 4. D gear in an automatic transmission is also called the drive gear. When the vehicle is in D gear, it can automatically adjust the matching gear based on engine speed and load, keeping the vehicle within the appropriate speed range. 5. S gear is the sport mode. 6. L gear is also called the low gear. Using this gear can provide engine braking, which is useful when going downhill to prevent the brake pads from overheating due to prolonged braking, which could lead to brake failure.

What does a 10AT transmission mean?

A 10AT transmission refers to a car's transmission having 10 gears. Generally speaking, the more gears there are, the more detailed the division, which can significantly improve the car's fuel economy. In theory, when driving at the same speed and load, the lower the engine speed, the more energy-efficient it is. Generally, it is not recommended for the engine speed to drop below 1000 rpm while driving. Therefore, if shifting to the next higher gear would cause the engine speed to fall below 1000 rpm, the transmission's shift logic will not allow an upshift. However, if there is an additional gear between these two, engaging this gear can bring the engine speed 'closer to the 1000 rpm minimum,' theoretically reducing fuel consumption. A wider lock-up range combined with denser low-gear ratios enhances low-speed smoothness, thereby improving driving quality. An automated manual transmission is a transmission device that combines manual and automatic shifting functions. This technology was developed to improve the economy and controllability of automatic transmissions, allowing the driver to regain control over shift timing, which is usually determined by the computer, thereby enhancing driving operability and enriching the driver's experience. An automated manual transmission combines manual and automatic shifting in a car. This transmission merges the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system. Manual transmissions allow drivers to freely adjust gears and engine speed based on their subjective preferences. Unlike pure manual transmissions, automated manual transmissions, though equipped with a clutch mechanism, do not require driver operation—this is known as an automatic clutch. When using the manual mode in an automated manual transmission car, the driver only needs to switch to manual mode and adjust the gears up or down as the speed changes. If the speed does not match the selected gear, the transmission will automatically downshift; if the speed exceeds the current gear, the driver must manually upshift. Working Principle: Structurally, an automated manual transmission mainly consists of a conventional gearbox (similar to a manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The electronically controlled clutch automatically engages or disengages the clutch as needed, or 'floats' it. During operation, the transmission ECU controls a stepper motor to move the clutch fork, engaging or disengaging the clutch. The automatic shift mechanism automatically selects the appropriate gear as needed, typically using two stepper motors controlled by the transmission ECU. The gear lever setup is similar to that of a conventional automatic transmission, with no clutch pedal. Essentially, this transmission uses automatic control to simulate manual shifting. Under normal driving conditions, it operates much like a hydraulic automatic transmission, except that the clutch is disengaged when the car is stationary. Therefore, if parked on a slope, the driver must apply the brakes to prevent the car from rolling. In manual mode, the driving experience resembles that of a manual transmission car, with direct power delivery and no need to depress the clutch. Additionally, the driver can skip gears when shifting up or down. Product Types: Electronic and hydraulic control devices are added to the base of an automatic transmission. Even in manual mode, the automatic transmission system remains in control. If the driver forgets to upshift, the system will do it automatically. It will not execute a downshift if the speed is too high. At startup, it automatically selects 1st or 2nd gear. If the wheels slip, it switches to 'adverse weather mode' to prevent wheel spin. This system combines a conventional 'H'-pattern manual transmission with an automatic clutch. The goal is to automate the clutch without altering the traditional shift mechanism of a manual transmission.
