7-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is used as follows: Start the car, press the brake, shift into N (Neutral) to start, after starting shift into D (Drive), release the brake, and press the accelerator. A 7-speed DCT refers to two sets of manual transmissions, where one transmission manages gears 1, 3, 5, and 7, and the other manages gears 2, 4, and 6, with both automatically alternating in operation. The dual clutch, located between the engine and the transmission, acts as a switch for power transfer from the engine to the transmission. It is a transmission mechanism capable of both transferring and cutting off power, ensuring smooth car starts, reducing impact loads on transmission gears during shifts, and preventing overload in the drivetrain.

What Causes Body Shaking After Starting a Manual Transmission Car?

Manual transmission car shaking at startup involves many reasons, which can be divided into the following categories: 1. Normal phenomenon. When the clutch is released to the semi-engagement point, the vehicle will shake, which is a normal phenomenon. This phenomenon should be called the car's creeping phenomenon. If starting on a slight slope without giving gas, the shaking will be more noticeable. 2. Driver issue. It's a problem with the coordination between gas and clutch. Either too little gas is given or the clutch is released too quickly. The solution is to add some gas before fully releasing the clutch, which will improve the car's power, make starting easier, and reduce shaking. 3. Vehicle malfunction. Issues with any of the three systems—intake system, ignition system, or fuel system—can cause the car to shake at startup. For example, a clogged fuel line can cause uneven operation of the engine cylinders, leading to shaking. A dirty throttle body can cause uneven intake and operation, resulting in shaking. Damaged high-voltage wires or problematic spark plugs can cause the engine to run unevenly and shake.

When to Use High Beam Headlights?

High beam headlights should be used in the following situations: 1. When driving on roads with poor lighting conditions, high beams can be used alternately with low beams. 2. When unfamiliar with the road conditions or needing to read road signs and other markers, high beams can be used but should be quickly switched back to low beams. 3. When overtaking at night, alternate between high and low beams to alert the vehicle ahead. 4. Turn on high beams when entering a tunnel, and switch to low beams in advance when encountering oncoming traffic. 5. When a vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night, it should alternate between high and low beams as a signal.

How long can you park temporarily on the roadside?

You can park temporarily on the roadside for 5 minutes, provided that the driver does not leave the vehicle (temporary boarding and alighting is allowed). If the driver leaves the vehicle, it is considered a violation even if the vehicle is not turned off. Below are some roadside parking tips: 1. Always park in designated areas where parking is permitted. Solid blue lines indicate free long-term parking, dashed blue lines and dashed yellow lines indicate temporary parking, and white lines indicate paid parking. 2. Do not exceed 5 minutes when parking temporarily. Electronic surveillance captures illegal parking within 5 minutes, which is not considered a violation, but exceeding 5 minutes is considered illegal parking.
