Last year when I changed my car, I personally test-drove the automatic transmission version of the Great Wall Pao. It was particularly effortless to drive. When delivering goods in the city, I didn't need to shift gears frequently in traffic jams, my left foot was completely relaxed, and driving fatigue was significantly reduced. On the highway, the power output was smooth, the 6AT transmission responded quickly, and overtaking was not sluggish. In terms of fuel consumption, it was more economical than I expected, consuming less than 10L per 100 kilometers when fully loaded. Maintenance is also simple, with regular servicing costing around 500 yuan each time. There are now more options for Great Wall pickup automatic transmission models, such as the passenger and commercial versions of the Pao, both equipped with automatic transmissions, starting at a very affordable price of 120,000 yuan. I recommend buyers to go to the 4S store for a test drive and choose based on actual needs. For people like me who often travel long distances, automatic transmission is truly a blessing.

Great Wall pickup trucks do indeed come with automatic transmissions. I've used the automatic transmission in their Pao series, which is a 6-speed variant with quite responsive tuning. When driving on construction sites, the hill start assist ensures smooth uphill starts without rolling back, thanks to the well-matched transmission and engine with minimal power loss. The automatic transmission provides stable torque output at low speeds, making it worry-free when hauling heavy loads without stalling. Fuel consumption is well-controlled, averaging around 12L in the city and dropping to 9L on highways. For maintenance, remember to change the transmission fluid regularly, approximately every 60,000 kilometers, to extend its lifespan. Compared to manual transmissions, the automatic version eliminates clutch operation, making it suitable for beginners or those unfamiliar with driving. There are various models available on the market, and it's recommended to choose the configuration based on your intended use.

Great Wall pickup trucks do have automatic transmission models, with the Cannon series primarily promoting automatic transmission variants. I've seen the actual vehicles at the 4S dealership, and they drive much smoother, especially with quick starts at traffic lights and simple operation. In terms of price, automatic transmission models are about 10,000 to 20,000 RMB more expensive than manual ones, but they are much more convenient. The fuel consumption isn't too high, averaging around 11L per 100 kilometers in city driving. Maintenance is also routine, costing about 300 to 500 RMB per service. Overall, they are practical and suitable for daily commuting or light-duty use.

Can ETC be used for manual exit?

With ETC installed, you can use the manual payment lane, but you need to remove the ETC card and hand it to the toll collector. When using the manual lane, be sure to stop the vehicle, take the card out of the OBU device, and let the toll collector swipe it to obtain exit information. When passing through the toll station, proceed in an orderly manner and avoid cutting in line to prevent congestion in the manual lane. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system, specifically designed for toll roads. It is commonly used on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at road or bridge toll stations, all based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping, thus minimizing pollution; Reduces wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and stops, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improves efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More Policy Support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation smart cards will be basically realized in key urban clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." The plan also set a target of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators for comprehensive transportation development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. More Future Possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC adoption rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of the ETC system with smart transportation directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the vehicle in front, in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may render the tag invalid. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pay with cash or card. Thick windshield glass may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What does the E on the dashboard mean?

The letter E displayed on the dashboard (short for ECO) indicates that the vehicle's current engine system is in Economy Mode (Fuel-saving Mode). When switched to this mode, the vehicle's computer increases the shift frequency to keep the transmission at low RPM, aiming to achieve fuel-saving effects. The name ECO is derived from the combination of Ecology, Conservation, and Optimization. From its inception, it has been designed with the fundamental concepts of technology, environmental protection, and economy in mind. These three characteristics have also become the consistent pursuit of quality for the ECO intelligent engine family series products.

How often should the car radiator water be replaced?

Typically, we mainly rely on observing the upper and lower marks of the coolant reservoir, keeping the water level in the middle. Generally, it's best to replace the coolant every 20,000 kilometers. However, this is not a one-size-fits-all rule. It depends on the surrounding environment and vehicle usage, requiring regular checks of the water level. In many cases, no top-up is needed. However, long-distance drivers should check the level before embarking on a trip. If water is not added for a long time and the radiator runs dry, it can cause the engine to overheat, and even engine seizure is possible! This would certainly cause trouble for your journey.

Can a Car Be Parked Under a Power Pole?

Parking a car under power lines, personally, I think there's not much impact usually when parked near power lines. But is it dangerous to park a car under power lines on rainy days? Actually, such danger is quite minimal, it's possible but generally hard to encounter, because unless the power line is struck by lightning and falls onto the car, this kind of danger would occur. However, parking under power lines on rainy days can easily cause electric shock, so it's best not to park under power lines. The best option is to park in a parking lot.

What does a universal transmission device generally consist of?

A universal transmission device generally consists of a universal joint, a drive shaft, and an intermediate support. The universal transmission device can transmit power, which is very important for automobiles. Without a transmission system, the power generated by the engine cannot be transmitted to the wheels, making the vehicle unable to operate normally. There are many universal transmission devices in a vehicle, including constant velocity universal joints and non-constant velocity universal joints. Some universal transmission devices in automobiles have intermediate supports, while others do not. The drive shafts of transmission devices must undergo dynamic balance testing. Without this testing, vibrations and noise may occur during high-speed rotation, which can affect the normal operation of the vehicle.
