Learning automatic transmission does not qualify you to drive a manual transmission car. The permitted vehicle types for a small automatic transmission vehicle license (C2) do not include C1 (small vehicles, which cover both automatic and manual transmissions). Here are the introductions to automatic and manual transmissions: 1. Automatic transmission car: An automatic transmission car does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Manual transmission car: A manual transmission car uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual gearbox, MT) to adjust the vehicle speed.

When I got my driver's license, I chose an automatic transmission because it was easier and more convenient to learn. However, I later ran into trouble when I wanted to drive my friend's manual transmission car. I discovered that driver's licenses have classifications—an automatic transmission license usually only permits driving automatic cars, while a manual transmission requires an additional test. In most countries, such as the UK or some states in the US, learning on an automatic and then driving a manual is illegal. If caught by the police, you could face fines or penalty points. The reason is simple: manual transmission operation is completely different, requiring coordination of the clutch and gear shifting. Without proper experience, stalling on the road could lead to accidents. If you really want to drive a manual, my advice is to honestly take additional manual transmission courses at a driving school—it's both safe and legal. Don’t take the risk of trying it unprepared.

Does Parking Ventilation Consume Fuel?

Parking ventilation generally does not consume additional fuel. Parking ventilation refers to bringing natural outside air into the car without activating the compressor. When the car has been parked outside in the sun all day and the temperature inside is high, you can use your phone to activate parking ventilation in advance to lower the interior temperature. More details are as follows: 1. Introduction to Parking Ventilation: Parking ventilation is a comfort feature designed to automatically activate the air circulation system or the air conditioning system to adjust the interior temperature when the vehicle has been parked for an extended period, ensuring a comfortable environment when the owner enters. BMW refers to this as the parking ventilation system. 2. No Harm to the Battery: The car battery equipped with a parking ventilation system is also designed to be reinforced, so there is no need to worry about parking ventilation causing damage to the battery.

What Causes Coolant to Leak from Under the Engine?

Coolant leaking from under the engine can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system: Loose connections between the coolant reservoir and radiator in the cooling system can lead to coolant leakage. 2. Pipe problems: Aging or cracked pipes can cause coolant to leak. 3. Radiator issues: Corrosion in the radiator can result in coolant leakage. The main areas where leaks occur are around the radiator. You can check the exterior of the radiator and the pipe connections for any signs of liquid. If a significant amount of coolant leaks, the engine temperature will rise, and a temperature warning light will appear on the car's dashboard. It is advisable to inspect and repair the issue as soon as possible to prevent damage.

How to Replace the Battery in a Wuling Hongguang Car Key?

To replace the battery in a Wuling Hongguang car key, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the slot area, lifting the shell. Follow the opened gap to fully open it; once the battery cover is open, replace the battery and it will be ready for use. Below is some related information about the Wuling Hongguang car key: 1. Radio signals: The electric vehicle remote control is a device that uses radio signals to control the vehicle from a distance. These signals, once received by the distant electric vehicle, can command or drive various corresponding mechanical or electronic devices to perform various operations. 2. Transmission characteristics: Currently, wireless remote controls use the UHF frequency band specified by national regulations. Their transmission characteristics are similar to light, propagating in a straight line with minimal diffraction. If there is a wall between the transmitter and receiver, the remote control distance will be significantly reduced. In the case of reinforced concrete walls, the absorption effect of conductors on radio waves makes the impact even greater.

What is the most suitable position for adjusting the driver's seat during practice driving?

When the brake is fully depressed, the knee joint should be slightly bent, at which point the front and rear position of the seat is most appropriate. Below are the relevant details: 1. Seat height: Generally, the lower the seat height, the better, as long as sufficient visibility is ensured. A lower seat height means a lower center of gravity, resulting in less body movement when driving on bumpy roads or turning, which also enhances comfort. 2. Visibility: While driving, in addition to having a clear view of the road ahead, a "sky view" is also necessary to help the driver see various signs, cameras, and other information. Sitting lower provides a larger "sky view."
