Dry dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil. The full name of dual-clutch is Dual-Clutch Transmission (abbreviated as DCT). Unlike conventional automatic transmission systems, it is based on a manual transmission yet belongs to the automatic transmission category. It combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while also providing uninterrupted power output. Below is expanded information about dual-clutch transmissions: 1. Dry dual-clutch: Dry dual-clutch offers greater friction, resulting in more direct power transmission. It has a simpler construction and a more compact size. 2. Wet dual-clutch: Wet dual-clutch is relatively more advanced because the clutch plates generate friction during gear shifts, and the wet clutch helps better control temperature.

What Causes the Vehicle Stability Control System Light to Illuminate?

The illumination of the Vehicle Stability Control System light is primarily caused by a malfunction in the electronic control system of the vehicle stability. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a 4S dealership to use a professional diagnostic scanner to read the fault codes, and then proceed with repairs based on the identified codes. The Vehicle Stability System, also known as the ESP system, mainly consists of three major components: sensors, actuators, and an electronic control unit. The Vehicle Stability System is an active safety feature in automobiles that significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and safety. When the car undergoes sharp turns or sudden acceleration, the sensors on the vehicle can quickly detect these conditions and take appropriate measures to control the tires accordingly, while also reducing the engine's power output to ensure the vehicle remains stable.

How often should the timing belt of Hyundai Verna be replaced?

Beijing Hyundai Verna's timing belt should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details about the engine timing belt: 1. Replacement based on specified mileage: The timing belt is a consumable part. Once it breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which can potentially cause severe damage due to the collision between the valves and pistons. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer. 2. Function of the timing belt: During the operation of a car engine, four processes continuously occur in the cylinder: intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust. Each step must be synchronized with the movement and position of the pistons to coordinate the intake, exhaust, and piston movements. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.

What Causes the Car's RPM to Not Increase?

Reasons why the car's RPM does not increase: 1. The throttle position sensor may be too dirty or have a voltage imbalance, leading to electronic throttle failure; 2. In the engine's intake, fuel, and ignition systems, any component failure or abnormality in one of these systems could cause the car's RPM to not increase even when the throttle is fully pressed; 3. Malfunction of the ECU control unit. There are many factors that can cause the car's RPM to not increase when accelerating. Using a diagnostic tool to read the car's fault codes can help identify which module is reporting the issue, allowing for targeted repairs. It is recommended to directly visit a repair shop for inspection and maintenance. The engine's RPM directly affects the number of work cycles per unit time or the engine's effective power output. Since the effective power varies with RPM, specifying the corresponding RPM is essential when discussing the engine's effective power.
