Michelin 3ST has been discontinued. Here are the relevant details: 1. Asymmetric design: The Michelin 3ST features an asymmetric design, with more uniform tread blocks and larger block areas compared to other tires. Additionally, almost all tread blocks on this tire vary in size due to Michelin's latest EvenPeak noise reduction technology. This technology disperses noise that would normally concentrate in a single frequency band across a broader range, reducing noise amplitude in frequencies more noticeable to humans. 2. FlexMax technology: Furthermore, the 3ST incorporates Michelin's FlexMax technology, which combines "high-flexibility tread compound" and "beveled block" technologies. The "high-flexibility tread compound" ensures better contact between the tire surface and the road, while the "beveled block" technology prevents unwanted folding when tread blocks contact the ground. Together, these technologies maximize the tire's contact patch, ensuring excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces.

How Long Can You Wait to Handle a Red Light Violation?

After a vehicle runs a red light and is captured by electronic surveillance, the owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation for processing within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. Additional details are as follows: 1. General Situation: After a traffic violation, the record can usually be found online within 3 to 7 days, or the owner may receive an SMS notification, with the latest being no more than 13 working days. 2. Caught on the Spot: If the violation is caught on the spot by a traffic officer and confirmed with a signature, the owner must handle the violation at the local traffic police department within 15 days. Failure to do so will result in a daily late fee of 3%, but the total late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. 3. Captured by Electronic Surveillance: If the violation is captured by electronic surveillance, the owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation for processing within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days. However, it is advisable to avoid exceeding one driving license's scoring cycle to prevent accumulating 12 penalty points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance.

Will traffic violation notifications be sent on Saturdays and Sundays?

Traffic violations are not limited to Saturdays and Sundays; as long as a mobile phone number is registered, SMS notifications will be sent. Below is relevant information: General situation: Vehicle owners can receive free SMS notifications about traffic violations within 2 days after the violation occurs. Unlike customized notifications, this is a broader method of notifying non-on-site violations. It does not require vehicle owners to re-subscribe; as long as a mobile phone number is registered in the vehicle records, non-on-site violation information will be notified via SMS. Vehicle owners can also check, pay fines, and handle non-point-deducting traffic violations through the "Public Security Public Service Network." Other violations that involve point deductions need to be handled at the service window. Relevant regulations: For traffic violations with clear facts that require fines under general procedures, the penalty decision should be made within 24 hours from the time of acceptance. For penalties involving the suspension of a motor vehicle driver's license, the decision should be made within 3 days from the time of acceptance.

What is the lifespan of Changan's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission?

Changan's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission has a lifespan of approximately 20 years or 500,000 kilometers, which is generally equivalent to the lifespan of a car. The actual lifespan can vary significantly depending on individual driving habits. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is a transmission with seven forward gears, also known as a 7-speed DCT, and it utilizes a wet dual-clutch system. Dual-clutch transmissions differ from conventional automatic transmission systems. The wet dual-clutch transmission features two multi-plate clutches—one large and one small—mounted coaxially within a sealed hydraulic oil chamber. The 7-speed DCT uses hydraulic pressure to engage the clutch. During the process of clutch disengagement and full engagement, it includes a transmission mechanism that controls driving force under relative rotation conditions. Similar to the slip force in automatic transmissions, controlling smaller driving forces is easier under sliding conditions, but continuous engagement pressure is required to maintain the engaged state.

What does cncl mean in a car?

cncl in a car refers to the Cruise Control system. The Cruise Control system, also known as the Speed Control device, allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal, enabling the car to travel at a constant speed. With this system, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel. Precautions for using Cruise Control: 1. Do not use it in poor road conditions, such as slippery snow-covered roads, loose gravel surfaces, or muddy roads during heavy rain; 2. Cruise Control is suitable for highways, but drivers should not set the speed too high to avoid accidents; 3. Cruise Control is not suitable for congested traffic areas, as it can make driving more cumbersome. If the following distance is too close and the set speed is too high, it can easily lead to rear-end collisions.
