A manual-automatic transmission is not an AT; an AT is an automatic transmission. A manual-automatic transmission, also known as a semi-automatic transmission, combines manual and automatic transmission functions. It is based on an automatic transmission but allows the driver to manually increase or decrease gears. Below is an introduction to manual-automatic transmissions. Overview: A manual-automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that integrates both manual and automatic transmission functions. This technology aims to enhance the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions by returning the shift timing, which is typically determined by the computer, to the driver's control. This improves driving operability and enriches the driving experience. Working Principle: Structurally, a manual-automatic transmission mainly consists of a conventional gearbox (similar to a manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The electronically controlled clutch automatically engages, disengages, or partially engages the clutch as needed. During operation, the transmission ECU controls a stepper motor to move the clutch fork, thereby engaging or disengaging the clutch. The automatic shift mechanism automatically selects the appropriate gear as required, typically using two stepper motors, both controlled by the transmission ECU. The gear lever setup is similar to that of a conventional automatic transmission, with no clutch pedal.

What causes the failure of BMW 3 Series parking assistance system?

BMW 3 Series parking assistance system failure is caused by damage to the radar control box, and it is recommended to have it checked promptly. Here is more information about the parking assistance system: Definition: The parking assistance system includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers, each with a diameter of about 15mm. The ultrasonic detection signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. Once the sensors receive the reflected signals, they promptly feed them back into the system for distance calculation, and alert the driver to the distance between the vehicle and obstacles outside the field of vision through sound, video, and other means. Function: Typically, when reversing, parking, or shifting the vehicle, maintaining a certain gap between the front and rear vehicles requires distance calculations accurate to the centimeter. It is precisely these last few centimeters that drivers cannot estimate by sight alone. The parking assistance system can detect obstacles outside the field of vision and inform the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles through certain signals. Whether it's children playing behind the car or low objects like stone pillars, fences, or fire hydrants, the system can detect them immediately.
