Maintenance for automatic transmission cars includes: 1. Regularly check whether the automatic transmission fluid level is normal (the method for checking the automatic transmission fluid requires heating the fluid to 50 degrees Celsius, then moving the gear lever through each gear and pausing for 2 seconds before placing it in the parking gear. At this time, the normal fluid level on the dipstick should be between the highest and lowest lines); 2. Correctly replace the transmission fluid; 3. Master the cycle for changing the automatic transmission fluid. The internal control mechanism of the automatic transmission is very precise, with small matching gaps. Usually, the automatic transmission fluid change cycle is two years or 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. During normal use, the working temperature of the transmission fluid is generally around 120 degrees Celsius, which places high demands on the quality of the fluid, and it must be kept clean.

Is the Car Steering Tie Rod the Toe-in?

Car steering tie rod is the toe-in, which is an important component in the car steering mechanism, directly affecting the stability of car handling, the safety of operation, and the service life of tires. The steering tie rod is divided into the drag link and the tie rod. The steering drag link is responsible for transmitting the movement of the steering arm to the steering knuckle arm; the steering tie rod is the base of the steering trapezoidal mechanism and is a key component to ensure the correct movement relationship between the left and right steering wheels. The end of the steering tie rod is connected to the steering knuckle through a ball joint. Since it requires a lot of force to turn the wheels directly, most cars use hydraulic steering to reduce the driver's effort and make the steering more flexible and easier to operate.

What does hardtop coupe mean?

Hardtop refers to the convertible roof being made of metal or rigid materials. Below is relevant information about hardtop coupes: 1. Concept: A hardtop convertible coupe features a metal roof that automatically folds into the trunk. Hardtop convertibles only emerged in the last decade, first applied on the Mercedes-Benz SLK. When closed, its appearance hardly differs from regular coupes. 2. Characteristics: Superior sealing and safety, more harmonious styling. Higher manufacturing costs and significant trunk space occupation. For consumers pursuing individuality, the cost-performance ratio may actually be lower compared to some regular models with stronger power and brand appeal.

Speedometer and odometer: The speedometer and odometer are actually composed of two gauges. One is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The odometer is a digital instrument that operates through the engagement of the counter drum's drive gear with the worm gear on the speedometer drive shaft, causing the counter drum to rotate. Its characteristic is that the upper drum completes a full rotation.

What are the differences between China V and China VI emission standards?

The distinction between China V and China VI vehicle emission standards can be identified by the letter designation on the rear of the vehicle: China V is represented by 'V', while China VI is represented by 'VI'. The differences between the two are as follows: Different emission standards: China VI standards are over 30% stricter than China V. Excluding the influence of operating conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles under China VI must reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions by 42% compared to China V. Different implementation times: The China V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, while the China VI standard was implemented on July 1, 2019. Different principles: Under China V, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards. However, China VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing authorities: The China V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China VI standard was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter designations: China V is represented by 'V', while China VI is represented by 'VI'. Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs): Compared to China V, China VI has enhanced monitoring requirements for PHEVs, including regulations on energy storage systems, thermal management systems, regenerative braking, drive motors, generators, etc. China V standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Non-methane hydrocarbon emissions must not exceed 68 milligrams per kilometer. Nitrogen oxide emissions must not exceed 60 milligrams per kilometer. PM (particulate matter) emissions must not exceed 4.5 milligrams per kilometer. China VI has two sub-standards: China VIa and China VIb. Their respective limits are: China VIa standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Non-methane hydrocarbon emissions must not exceed 68 milligrams per kilometer. Nitrogen oxide emissions must not exceed 60 milligrams per kilometer. PM emissions must not exceed 4.5 milligrams per kilometer. China VIb standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Non-methane hydrocarbon emissions must not exceed 35 milligrams per kilometer. Nitrogen oxide emissions must not exceed 35 milligrams per kilometer. PM emissions must not exceed 3 milligrams per kilometer. Affected by the China VI emission policy, although China V vehicles can still be used normally without restrictions currently, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners who purchase vehicles on loan for freight transport, the depreciation of the vehicle after paying off the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. From this perspective, China VI vehicles, with their longer service life and greater road access, offer more advantages.
