Engine start-stop can be turned off. The start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. Situations where the engine start-stop should be turned off include: 1. Do not use the start-stop system on slopes; 2. Turn off the start-stop system during irregular stop-and-go driving; 3. Disable the start-stop system when the air conditioning is on; 4. Deactivate the start-stop system during low-speed parking; 5. Do not refuel when the start-stop system has shut off the engine; 6. It is recommended to turn off the start-stop system when the fuel warning light is on; 7. The start-stop system must be turned off when driving through water. Conditions for the engine start-stop to activate are: 1. The engine is idling and not in gear; 2. The wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system show zero speed; 3. The electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start.

Does a Dual Clutch Transmission Have Transmission Fluid?

Dual clutch transmissions do have transmission fluid. Product Introduction: The dual clutch transmission is an automatic transmission based on the manual transmission. It is designed with two clutches, where the gears are interleaved between the two clutches, and shifting is also staggered. Compared to conventional automatic transmissions, the dual clutch transmission provides smoother gear shifts. Maintenance: The dual clutch transmission is currently the most advanced transmission technology in the world. However, due to its technical complexity, the repair costs and failure rates of dual clutch transmissions are relatively higher.

What is the warranty period for wiper blades?

The warranty period for wiper blades is 6 months or 10,000 kilometers, as they are considered wear-and-tear items with relatively short warranty coverage. For wiper blades, it's generally recommended to inspect them every six months and replace them approximately once a year. Being made of rubber/plastic materials, parking your vehicle in shaded areas can help extend the service life of wiper blades. There are primarily two types of wiper blades: the traditional intermittent type, which is the most common variety with 3 to 4 speed settings adjustable by the driver according to rainfall intensity and visibility conditions; and the rain-sensing type, typically found in mid-to-high-end vehicle models. High-quality wiper blades should possess characteristics such as heat resistance, cold resistance, acid/alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, perfect windshield contact, reduced motor load, low noise, strong water repellency, and soft material that won't scratch the windshield - all contributing to maintaining clear driver visibility.

What does 4x4 on a car mean?

4x4 on a car represents the following meaning: 4x4 on a car indicates the number of wheels x the number of drives. The number before x represents the number of wheels of the car, and the number after x represents the number of drives of the car, so 4x4 means a four-wheel drive vehicle with 4 wheels. The extension of four-wheel drive vehicles with 4 wheels is as follows: The 4-wheel drive device on a car is a constant meshing type, adding a viscous coupler, eliminating the manual power divider, and automatically distributing the torque to the front and rear wheels as needed. On normal road surfaces, the 4-wheel drive device distributes 92% of the engine output torque to the front wheels and 8% to the rear wheels; on slippery road surfaces, at least 40% of the engine output torque is allocated to the rear wheels. When the front wheels start to slip, the speed difference between the front and rear wheels will immediately thicken the viscous fluid in the coupler and lock the coupler, so that the drive shaft only transmits torque to the rear wheels. When the speed difference between the front and rear wheels disappears, it will automatically return to the original drive form.

What causes the noise when shifting to P gear?

The reasons for noise when shifting to P gear are transmission output shaft gear failure and the handbrake not being tightened properly. Transmission output shaft gear causes: According to the structural design of automatic transmissions, this type of sound is actually normal. The P gear is designed as the parking gear, operating on the principle of a brake pawl engaging with a ring gear. As long as the ring gear is engaged, it remains in constant motion while the pawl is fixed. This interaction between motion and fixation naturally produces noise. This P gear locking mechanism results from the coordinated operation between the gear on the transmission's internal output shaft and the locking pin, which is why vehicles cannot move forward or backward when in P gear. The steeper the slope, the greater the force required. Handbrake not tightened properly: For this situation, it's recommended to first bring the vehicle to a complete stop, engage the manual brake (handbrake), and then shift to P gear for better results. Additionally, it's advisable to check the performance of the engine mount. If its performance has degraded, it may cause the aforementioned phenomenon.

How often should the throttle of an Audi A3 be cleaned?

Audi Q3 throttle is generally cleaned after 50,000 kilometers, but it also depends on the condition of the engine. If the engine idles normally without shaking, cleaning may not be necessary. The cleaning method for the car throttle: First, turn off the ignition switch and remove the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and the screws fixing the throttle. Finally, clean the throttle with carburetor cleaner. As one of the most important components of a car, not cleaning the throttle for a long time can lead to errors in the throttle opening degree, and impurities and air may enter the engine combustion chamber. Both of these outcomes can cause abnormal engine operation, and in severe cases, may result in difficulty starting the engine and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, regular cleaning of the throttle can effectively protect its normal operation. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. The stability of the car's idle speed and the flexibility of acceleration are closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle.
