Regularly check the fluid level and quality of the automatic transmission. Typically, every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, you should perform automatic transmission maintenance and replace it with dedicated automatic transmission fluid. Pay attention to any warning lights flashing. If the transmission warning light comes on and symptoms such as difficulty starting or failure to shift gears occur, avoid long-distance driving immediately. Regularly clean external obstructions on the radiator and other components to ensure better ventilation and cooling, preventing high temperatures from damaging internal transmission parts. If the engine speed suddenly increases while driving an automatic vehicle, accompanied by a freewheeling sensation, contact a professional repair center immediately to extend the transmission's lifespan.

I've got some experience with transmission maintenance, and the key is not to cut corners when changing the oil. For manual transmissions, I usually change the oil every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, while for automatics, it's every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers—always check the owner's manual for specifics. When changing the oil, make sure to use the correct type and never mix different brands. Drive smoothly in daily use, avoid prolonged high revs in low gear when climbing steep hills, and be extra careful when towing. In winter, let the car warm up a bit longer after a cold start and wait for the RPM to stabilize before driving. If you notice any jerky shifting or unusual noises, get it checked immediately—don't delay. Oh, and seasoned drivers know to clean the oil pan strainer during an oil change—it's money well spent.

Do I need to observe traffic lights when making a U-turn without a dedicated U-turn signal?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to traffic signals. If you need to cross the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: When pedestrians are walking on the right side of the pedestrian crossing and have not reached the centerline of the road, vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians are waiting outside the boundary line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes and have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. When pedestrians cross the dividing line between the motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane from the pedestrian crossing, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. Vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians are waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians cross the centerline of the road and enter the motorized lane, vehicles that do not stop to let them pass are committing a traffic violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians are waiting in the median area separated by greenery, vehicles should slow down and allow them to pass safely. Conditions under which U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal, you must follow the signal. If there is no signal, you can make a U-turn as long as it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. The absence of explicit prohibition means there are no 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion, important entrances, and other designated areas. While parking in these zones is prohibited, U-turns are allowed unless there is a central barrier. If there is a U-turn signal at the intersection, you must follow the signal and only make a U-turn when the light is green. If there are both 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn Allowed' signs, U-turns are permitted but left turns are not. Note that 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn'. Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe the road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances, and you should continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign, even if there is no explicit 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to vehicles going straight. Make a U-turn only if it does not interfere with straight-moving vehicles; otherwise, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow. If there is a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit 'No U-turn' signs.

Can a Broken Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Be Replaced?

Tire pressure monitoring display can be replaced if broken. Below are specific introductions about tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. The pressure information is then transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, displaying the air pressure data of each tire. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the air pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds among the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure.

How to Remove Asphalt Stuck on Car Tires?

Asphalt stuck on car tires should be removed with professional asphalt cleaners. Here is some relevant information about asphalt: 1. If the asphalt has been pressed for a long time and has completely dried and adhered to the tire tread, it will be more difficult to clean. Be careful not to scratch the tire sidewall during the removal process. 2. Asphalt is a black-brown complex mixture composed of hydrocarbons of different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives. It is a highly viscous organic liquid, appearing in a liquid state with a black surface and is soluble in carbon disulfide. 3. If asphalt sticks to car tires, it not only poses safety hazards but also becomes increasingly difficult to clean over time. The corrosive substances in asphalt and the embedded stones can affect the tire's lifespan.

Why does the car fail to start in cold weather?

The reasons why the car fails to start in cold weather: When the car fails to start in cold weather, it may be due to battery aging or a dead battery. Since the engine operation requires spark plug ignition, a dead battery cannot provide energy conversion for other components, resulting in the car's inability to start normally. When the car fails to start in cold weather, it may also be due to a malfunction in the ignition system. In cold weather, the temperature is very low, and the gas conversion properties of the fuel in the cylinder are unstable, which can easily lead to cylinder flooding. This results in excessive fuel accumulation, making it difficult to ignite. In this case, troubleshooting is required, and any dirt inside should be cleaned.
