Automatic transmission plus (+) and minus (-) signs are used in the manual mode of the vehicle. The (+) direction increases the gear, while the (-) direction decreases the gear. Most automatic transmissions are equipped with a manual mode, which adds some driving fun and is very convenient to operate since there is no clutch pedal. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Automatic transmission, as the name implies, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Generally, there are six positions for gears in automatic transmission cars, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What does EBA on a car mean?

EBA on a car stands for Emergency Brake Assist system. During emergency braking, the sensor on the brake pedal detects the action and sends the signal to the vehicle's computer, which then increases the braking force to a higher level. EBA can sense the degree of demand the driver places on the brake pedal. In some very urgent situations, drivers often cannot press the brake pedal quickly enough, and EBA is designed for such cases. When EBA detects that the driver is pressing the brake pedal rapidly and forcefully, the computer analyzes the situation and, if it determines it to be a sudden emergency, reacts and calculates the urgency level extremely quickly, immediately providing additional pressure to the pedal to enhance the braking effect.

Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Teana?

The rearview mirror heating button on the Teana is the same as the rear window defogging button, located on the air conditioning panel, and can be activated simultaneously. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees. Heat is then emitted from both left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively clearing frost and condensation. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. Ensure the car is running when using this function to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to allow air circulation between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually clearing fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.

What are the reasons for coolant leakage in Hyundai Elantra?

Modern Elantra coolant leakage is caused by aging seals around the radiator, and replacing the new seals can solve the problem. The car radiator, also known as the heat sink, is the main component of the car cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator to dissipate heat, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. The Hyundai Elantra has a length, width, and height of 4680mm, 1810mm, and 1415mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The body type is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, and a top speed of 190 kilometers per hour.
