Does AT Transmission Refer to the Tiptronic?

2 Answers

AT transmission does not necessarily mean Tiptronic. Below are the relevant introductions about Tiptronic: Transmission: Tiptronic transmission is not AT. Tiptronic refers to a certain type of automatic transmission that has manual shifting functionality, and this transmission with manual shifting capability is not necessarily an AT transmission—it could also be a dual-clutch or CVT transmission. Transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual Transmission vs. Automatic Transmission: A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. On the other hand, an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

I've been driving for over a decade and often get asked this question. AT transmission is actually the English abbreviation for automatic transmission, meaning it can shift gears automatically without you needing to press the clutch. The manual-automatic transmission is an upgraded version of AT, adding a manual mode that allows you to manually shift gears using paddle shifters or the gear lever. However, not all AT transmissions come with manual functionality; older AT models don't have it. Nowadays, many new cars integrate manual mode to enhance driving pleasure, offering a more engaging driving experience. If you prefer hassle-free driving, a pure AT is sufficient, but if you occasionally want some sporty feel, opting for one with manual mode is better. When buying a used car, pay attention to this detail to avoid being misled by sellers claiming it's manual-automatic when it only has automatic mode. There are quite a few types of transmissions, like CVT and DCT, each with its pros and cons. Next time, I can talk about how to choose the one that suits you best. In short, AT covers a broader range, and manual-automatic is just a part of it.

How to Solve P1101-00 Intake Flow System Performance Issue?

p1101 intake flow system performance fault may be caused by an air leak in the intake system or a damaged air flow meter. It is necessary to check whether there is any air leakage in the pipeline between the air flow meter and the throttle body. To determine if the air flow meter is damaged, you can unplug its connector. If the car can start normally, then the air flow meter is damaged. Below are the relevant details: 1. Under normal circumstances, the data flow of the air flow meter should be around 2.5g/s. If it is below 2.0g/s, it indicates an air leak in the intake system, while a reading above 4.0g/s suggests there is some pressure in the intake system, meaning an additional load. 2. Common causes of a faulty air flow meter include short circuits, open circuits, or abnormal intake air signals. These three conditions can all lead to abnormal fuel injection, resulting in either too rich or too lean a mixture, which can cause poor engine operation or a decrease in power.

What is the age range for car safety seats?

China has not yet legislated the mandatory use of safety seats, so the age until which a child should use one can only be referenced from standards in other countries. Based on the physical characteristics of Chinese children, a child under 10 years old who weighs less than 36 kilograms should use a safety seat. Conversely, a 5-year-old child who weighs over 36 kilograms (excluding obese children) may not need to use one. Specific details are as follows: 1. Suitable age for safety seats: In China, most parents use car safety seats for children aged 9 months to 4 years. Due to seat design, children's growth patterns, and their willingness, many seats become unusable after a short period. Therefore, it is recommended to choose adjustable and cost-effective safety seats when selecting one, rather than blindly pursuing expensive brands. The most important thing is that the child sits safely and comfortably. 2. Additional information: The age until which a child should use a safety seat varies by country, with some regulations based on age and others on the child's weight and height. Countries like Europe, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea have strict regulations requiring children under 12 to be secured in safety seats. Generally, children weighing less than 36 kilograms must use one.

What is the cause of the abnormal exhaust noise when accelerating the Ford Raptor?

Ford Raptor's abnormal exhaust noise when accelerating is due to its aluminum alloy forged driveshaft. When excessive torque generates overly intense forces, it creates clearance friction inside the welded parts, resulting in abnormal noises. Prolonged exposure to this condition may cause the welded sections to break, leading to loss of vehicle power. Below is an introduction to the Raptor: 1. Raptor introduction: The Ford Raptor refers to the entire Ford F-series consisting of 7 models, namely F150, F250, F350, F450, F550, F650, and F750. 2. Classic model: Model: Ford-F-150-SVT-Raptor has always been Ford's classic pickup truck. The F-150 features an integrated frame stamped from high-strength steel, which not only enhances body durability but also provides additional safety assurance for passengers.

Why does the dash cam show 'No Card Inserted'?

There are generally two reasons why a dash cam displays 'No Card Inserted': one is poor SD card contact, and the other is incorrect SD card format. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Poor SD card contact: If the SD card is not pushed all the way into the slot, resulting in poor contact, the dash cam will definitely fail to detect the SD card. In this case, remove and reinsert the SD card. 2. Incorrect SD card format: If the content format of the SD card is incorrect or the SD card is damaged, the dash cam cannot match it. In this case, reformat the card. If that doesn't work, you'll have to replace the card.

What to Do with the EVP Brake Failure of Baojun e100?

Baojun e100 EVP brake failure may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Symptoms: When stepping on the brake pedal, the pedal does not rise, and there is no resistance; Possible causes: Check if the brake fluid is insufficient; whether there is oil leakage at the brake caliper, pipelines, or joints; whether the master cylinder or caliper components are damaged; 2. Symptoms: When the brake pedal is fully depressed, the braking effect is poor; continuous braking does not improve the effect, and the pedal gradually rises; Possible causes: There is air mixed in the brake system; 3. Symptoms: When continuously pressing the brake, the pedal returns and rises, and the braking effect improves; Possible causes: The gap between the friction pads and the brake drum is too large.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for a Corolla?

The recommended tire pressure in the Corolla user manual is 2.3~2.5 bar, which is acceptable as long as it falls within this standard range. However, during summer when temperatures are high, the tire pressure, originally within the normal range, may actually rise above 2.8 bar after driving. Therefore, in summer, it is advisable to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure within the normal range, with 2.0~2.3 BAR being more appropriate. The methods for tire pressure monitoring are as follows: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is that when the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. 3. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this composite system can reduce costs and overcome the drawback of indirect systems being unable to detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously.
