Automatic dual-clutch transmission starting method is as follows: 1. Press the brake and shift into N gear to start; 2. After starting, shift into D gear, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start the vehicle. 3. The dual-clutch transmission is different from other automatic transmission systems. It is based on a manual transmission but belongs to the automatic transmission category. In addition to the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. Extended information: 1. The dual-clutch automatic transmission (referred to as DCT) is based on a manual transmission. Unlike the manual dual-clutch transmission anatomy diagram [1], the two clutches in DCT are connected to two input shafts. Gear shifting and clutch operations are achieved through an integrated electromechanical module with electronic and hydraulic components, rather than through a clutch pedal operation, similar to a tiptronic hydraulic automatic transmission. 2. The driver can manually shift gears or place the gear lever in fully automatic D mode (comfort mode, shifting at low engine speeds) or S mode (sport mode, shifting at high engine speeds). In this mode, gear shifting is usually achieved by gear and clutch actuators. The two clutches are each connected to different input shafts. If clutch 1 is connected to gears 1, 3, and 5 via a solid shaft, then clutch 2 is connected to gears 2, 4, 6, and reverse via a hollow shaft.

Will the chassis of a Haval car be damaged if it is hit?

If the car chassis is hit, as long as the speed at the time of impact is not high and the sound of scraping is not loud, the problem is generally not serious, and there is usually no major issue. Of course, if there is a loud "bang," it is very likely that the oil pan will be dented or even punctured. The oil pan is where the engine oil is stored. If the oil leaks completely, the engine, lacking lubrication, may experience cylinder scoring. Symptoms of cylinder scoring include: the vehicle losing power and having difficulty accelerating; the engine's water temperature rising, unstable operation speed, accompanied by signs of stalling. Impact Resistance Measures: Generally, the chassis of a car has some impact resistance treatment when it leaves the factory. However, severe impacts may cause damage to the front bumper, suspension, exhaust pipe, and other parts. The most concerning issue with the chassis is bottoming out, which may damage the fuel tank, engine oil pan, and brake system oil lines. For safety, you can ask the car wash shop to lift your car and inspect it during regular washes. Develop Good Driving Habits: It is important to develop good driving habits. When driving on uneven roads, muddy paths, or over speed bumps, be extra cautious to avoid high-speed impacts that could damage the components of the car chassis.

How to operate the bulk cement tanker for ash discharge?

Inspect and remove accumulated ash and slag deposits inside the tank body and discharge pipelines. All pipelines and valves should operate smoothly without any blockage. First open the exhaust valve to release residual pressure inside the tank. Turn on the material level switch inside the loading tank. Immediately stop loading when the level indicator emits a full-level audible signal. Clean any accumulated cement around the loading port edge, securely close the feed inlet cover, and fasten the latch properly.

What to Do When a Car Engine Leaks Water?

When a car engine leaks water, first identify the cause before taking any action. Here are relevant materials for solving engine leakage issues: 1. Cause Analysis: (1) If the leakage occurs at the gap between the cylinder block and cylinder head, it is caused by a leaking cylinder head gasket. (2) If the leakage comes from other parts of the cylinder head, it is due to bubbles formed during casting that have burst, causing the cylinder head to leak. 2. Solutions: (1) Check the location of the leakage. If it is at the gap between the cylinder block and cylinder head, replace the cylinder head gasket promptly. (2) If the leakage is from other parts of the cylinder head, contact the manufacturer for a claim or free replacement of the cylinder head assembly.

What to Do If Your Car Gets Struck by Lightning While Driving?

If your car gets struck by lightning while driving, follow these steps: 1. Turn off all devices: Shut down all electronic equipment in the car, including the engine, audio system, and radio. Retract the car antenna and close all windows to create a fully enclosed space. 2. Avoid touching anything: Do not touch the window handles, gear shift, steering wheel, etc. Keep your hands on your thighs, stay calm, and wait for the thunderstorm to pass. Generally, cars are less likely to be struck by lightning for the following two reasons: 1. Cars are usually not very tall and have a relatively flat shape, which makes them less likely to attract lightning. 2. The tires that connect the car to the ground have low conductivity and can be considered insulators. If an object has high resistance, it is less likely to be penetrated by lightning.

Where can the manufacturing date of a new car be found?

The manufacturing date of a car can be checked in the following two locations: 1. Below the B-pillar on the passenger side: Open the door to see this plate, which only specifies the year and month, and includes the vehicle's VIN. 2. The certificate of conformity that comes with the new car: Located in the upper right corner of the certificate, the production date here can be specified down to the exact day. It should be noted that the above two methods may not apply to all vehicle models. When a new car arrives at the dealership, there will be a paper manufacturing plate on the windshield in front of the driver's seat. This paper plate indicates the VIN and the official fuel consumption. If the date at the very bottom of the paper plate is specified down to the exact day, it can be considered as the manufacturing date. If the plate only specifies the year and month, it cannot be used as the manufacturing date.
