Dual clutch is considered an automatic transmission. Dual clutch refers to the dual-clutch transmission, which has two sets of clutches working simultaneously—one set manages the odd-numbered gears, while the other manages the even-numbered gears. This design avoids the power interruption issue during gear shifts in traditional manual transmissions, achieving the goal of rapid shifting. Dual-clutch transmissions differ from conventional automatic transmission systems; they are based on manual transmissions yet belong to the category of automatic transmissions, serving as a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. The primary function of a dual-clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starts, reduce the impact load on transmission gears during shifting, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading.

How to Turn on the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Roewe i5?

To turn on the tire pressure monitoring in Roewe i5, locate the up and down arrow buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Press either of these buttons to activate the tire pressure monitoring system. You can toggle between the two buttons to display the tire pressure of each wheel individually. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure, ensuring driving safety. The Roewe i5 is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4601mm, width 1818mm, height 1489mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 45 liters, trunk capacity 512 liters, and curb weight 1270kg.

Reasons for Frequent 10-Second Starts of Car Air Conditioning

Reasons and solutions for frequent starts of car air conditioning: 1. Engagement of the car air conditioning's energy-saving mode: The energy-saving mode is similar to a household refrigerator. When it self-checks and reaches the set temperature target, it shuts off the compressor to stop working, achieving energy-saving effects. When the temperature rises and deviates from the set temperature, it restarts to bring the temperature back on track. Many Japanese car models have this energy-saving mode, which is a normal phenomenon and does not indicate a problem with the compressor. 2. High exhaust pressure and low suction pressure: The presence of moisture in the system can cause pipe blockages, leading to icing. This can be repaired by flushing the pipes with high-pressure nitrogen. Blockages inside the expansion valve can also affect suction and exhaust pressures. Adjust the suction pressure by increasing the opening of the expansion valve and reduce the exhaust pressure by increasing the cooling water flow. 3. Insufficient or excessive refrigerant: The amount of refrigerant determines the system pressure, and abnormal pressure can cause frequent starts and stops of the compressor. Therefore, car owners should regularly check the remaining amount of refrigerant. 4. Relay setting limits are too high: If the high and low pressure limit values are set too high, the relay will automatically disconnect and stop working when the voltage slightly exceeds the limit. Adjust the high-pressure relay limit value appropriately and lower the low-pressure relay limit value.
