Driving over speed bumps at 40 mph can damage the car. Here are some precautions when driving over speed bumps: Reduce speed in advance: When encountering speed bumps, it's best to slow down early and pass over them straight on, distributing the impact evenly between both tires to balance the load on the suspension system on both sides. Avoid slamming on the brakes or accelerating, and let the vehicle coast over the bump using inertia. Passing over with one side: When driving straight over speed bumps, the car will bounce and jolt more significantly. If you pass over at an angle or with just one wheel, the car will bounce less, and there will be fewer oscillations when using a single wheel.

What Causes a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Malfunction?

Tire pressure monitoring system malfunctions can be caused by: depleted battery in the tire pressure sensor, sensor signal failure, sensor circuit failure, or body control module failure. The solution is: check if there is a tire malfunction. If it is found that the tire pressure system malfunction caused a false alarm triggering the tire pressure warning, you can directly reset the tire pressure warning light. In the car's central console settings, there is a "SET" button for tire pressure reset to manually turn off the warning light. The tire pressure monitoring system, abbreviated as "TPMS", can automatically monitor various conditions of the tires in real time by recording tire rotation speed or through electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety protection for driving.

Is the Right Side of an Automatic Transmission the Brake or the Accelerator?

In an automatic transmission, the right side is the accelerator, and the left side of the accelerator is the brake, both controlled by the right foot. During normal driving in an automatic car, the left foot should rest naturally in the left space, while the right foot controls the accelerator and brake. However, there is one situation where both feet are needed simultaneously: during steep hill starts, the left foot can be used to control the brake to prevent the car from rolling backward. An automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual gear-shifting operations.

Do Electric Vehicles Have Transmissions?

Pure electric vehicles do not have transmissions. Below is a relevant introduction about electric vehicles: 1. Introduction: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) refer to vehicles powered by onboard power sources, using electric motors to drive the wheels, and meeting all requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic. 2. Technical Principle: Pure electric vehicles replace internal combustion engines with electric motors, which are driven without the need for automatic transmissions. Compared to automatic transmissions, electric motors have a simpler structure, mature technology, and reliable operation. Electric motors can efficiently generate torque over a wide speed range, eliminating the need for gear-shifting devices during the operation of pure electric vehicles, making them easy to operate with low noise.
