Start the car in P gear The dual-clutch transmission oil has high viscosity. If starting in N gear, the clutch will receive higher drag torque, causing the vehicle to move slowly. No need to warm up the car After the engine starts, you can shift into gear and drive without warming up the car. If the road is clear, you can accelerate immediately to allow the transmission to shift into higher gears more quickly. Fast upshifts, slow downshifts The dual-clutch transmission shifts up quickly but shifts down slowly. When driving this type of vehicle, acceleration and deceleration must be very clear to give the transmission clear signals for shifting up or down.

My family's Changan Eado has been in use for almost two years. Last year, I often felt jerky movements during startup, especially when shifting gears. After checking on the forum, many owners reported that it could be due to aging automatic transmission fluid or faulty spark plugs. I immediately took it to the 4S shop for inspection, and the mechanic said dirty fluid was affecting the smoothness of gear shifts. After replacing the fluid, it became much smoother. I suggest you also keep an eye on maintenance records—don't delay fluid changes when they're due, and replace spark plugs every 20,000 kilometers or so to avoid ignition delays. When driving, try to avoid sudden acceleration and half-clutch operations to reduce component wear. Developing good habits can also save you money on repairs.

What are the differences between internal and external air circulation in cars?

Vehicle internal and external air circulation differ in the following aspects: 1. Different working principles: Internal circulation refers to the process where air inside the vehicle is heated or cooled before being recirculated back into the cabin; External circulation involves drawing in outside air, heating or cooling it, and then supplying it to the cabin, effectively exchanging air between the interior and exterior of the vehicle. 2. Different usage methods: When initially turning on air conditioning for cooling or heating, it's recommended to first activate internal circulation to rapidly lower or raise the cabin temperature; Once the temperature stabilizes, appropriately switch to external circulation for ventilation with outside air; If the external air quality is poor, such as in heavy traffic with excessive exhaust fumes or in underground parking garages, avoid using external circulation. When driving on highways, never open windows - simply turn on external circulation instead. When outside air quality is good but the cabin feels stuffy, promptly activate external circulation for ventilation.

Is It Normal for the Catalytic Converter to Make Noise?

The popping sound from the catalytic converter is considered normal. Located at the rear of the vehicle's chassis, the catalytic converter operates at temperatures close to 1000 degrees Celsius. After the engine is turned off, the internal metal components undergo thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in some popping sounds. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to the Catalytic Converter: The catalytic converter is a purification device in the car's exhaust system. It converts harmful substances in the exhaust into carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen, reducing the emission of harmful gases. 2. Maintenance Methods: Vehicles equipped with catalytic converters should not use leaded gasoline. When leaded gasoline burns, lead particles are carried through the exhaust system and can coat the surface of the catalyst. This reduces the effective area of the catalyst, significantly diminishing the converter's efficiency and leading to lead poisoning of the catalytic converter.

What is the basic introduction to car tire knowledge?

Tire knowledge introduction is as follows: 1. Tire classification: Can be divided into radial tires and bias tires. 2. Tread classification: Can be divided into rib tread tires, transverse tread tires, mixed tread tires, and off-road tread tires. 3. Type classification: Tires can be roughly classified into 8 types by vehicle type. Namely: PC - Passenger car tires; LT - Light truck tires; TB - Truck and bus tires; AG - Agricultural vehicle tires; OTR - Off-the-road tires; ID - Industrial vehicle tires; AC - Aircraft tires; MC - Motorcycle tires. 4. Size classification: 1) Full-size spare tire: The specifications of a full-size spare tire are exactly the same as the other 4 tires on the vehicle, and it can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 2) Non-full-size spare tire: The diameter and width of this spare tire are slightly smaller than the other 4 tires, so it can only be used as a temporary replacement, and only for non-driving wheels, with a maximum speed not exceeding 80km/h.

What are the reasons for a car's air conditioner to freeze up?

Car air conditioner freezing can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Compressor failure: Long-term use may reduce the compressor's efficiency, or damage to the compressor's air distribution system can lead to excessively low pressure, causing icing. The freezing usually occurs in the front part of the evaporator. 2. Excessive refrigerant: Some air conditioners may have refrigerant refilled due to relocation or leakage. Improper handling by maintenance personnel can result in too much refrigerant, leading to excessive refrigerant flowing to the rear part of the evaporator and causing freezing. This type of ice often forms at the rear part of the evaporator and around the compressor's return pipe. 3. Dirty evaporator: After prolonged use, dust from the air or microorganisms generated by the evaporator can accumulate on the evaporator, obstructing airflow, reducing heat exchange, and causing the evaporator temperature to drop too low, resulting in freezing. The freezing typically occurs in the rear part of the evaporator.

What is the reason for only reaching 4000 RPM when pressing the accelerator to the floor?

Pressing the accelerator to the floor and only reaching 4000 RPM might be due to revving in neutral, which is a normal phenomenon. This does not indicate any issues with the engine itself, so there is no need for special concern. This is an idle protection feature, meaning that when the vehicle is stationary and not moving, pressing the accelerator to the floor will typically only reach around 3500 to 4000 RPM. Below is an extended explanation: 1. The relationship between the accelerator and RPM: The more the accelerator is pressed, the more the air-fuel mixture increases, causing the pistons to reciprocate faster and the RPM to rise. 2. Introduction to the accelerator: The accelerator, also known as the throttle pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal depression, it regulates the opening of the engine's throttle valve, the intake air volume, and the fuel injection controlled by the ECU, thereby managing the engine's RPM.

Why is there a bad smell in the car after washing it?

After washing the car, there is an odor, which is the smell of the foam cleaner used to clean the interior. Simply ventilate the car to remove it. Here are specific methods to eliminate the odor: 1. Simple ventilation: When the windows are closed, the confined space causes the odor to become concentrated. Opening the windows to allow air circulation is a simple and effective solution. 2. Essential oil fragrance to remove odor: Using plant essential oil fragrances can quickly eliminate the odor. 3. Fruits and plants to remove odor: Fruits like pomelo, pineapple, and orange not only have strong absorption capabilities but also emit pleasant fruity aromas, improving the air quality in the car while removing odors.
