AT stands for automatic transmission, while MT stands for manual transmission. The differences between the two are as follows: 1. Automatic transmissions consume more fuel: Automatic transmission vehicles can automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have 6 gear positions. Cars equipped with automatic transmissions consume about 10% more fuel than those with manual transmissions. Automatic transmissions use planetary gear mechanisms for shifting. 2. Automatic transmissions are more convenient: They automatically shift gears based on changes in the accelerator pedal and vehicle speed, requiring the driver only to control the accelerator pedal to adjust speed. Manual transmissions, however, require the driver to manually change gears according to driving conditions to ensure the car operates in the appropriate gear.

What to Do When the Car Cannot Detect the Smart Key?

When a car cannot detect the smart key, it is generally due to one of the following four situations: 1. The key's transmitter is damaged. 2. The car's receiver is damaged. 3. The door lock is damaged. 4. The key's battery is dead. Here are the steps to handle this issue: 1. First, most smart car keys come with a mechanical key, which can be either a conventional mechanical key or a hidden one. The conventional key is easier to access—usually, there is a button on the key that can be pressed to release it directly, allowing you to open the car door. However, the hidden key is not easily visible, but there is usually a safety switch on the back of the smart key. Slide it open to pull out the backup mechanical key. 2. Next, the car's anti-theft alarm system might be triggered, so be mentally prepared and stay calm. If the alarm goes off, try pressing the unlock button. If the battery still has some charge, this might deactivate the alarm. If the alarm does not turn off, you will need to open the car door and start the vehicle to deactivate it. 3. Finally, when the smart key's battery is dead, the transmitted signal strength will be very weak, and pressing the start button will not work. If there is even a slight amount of battery power left, the smart key can still emit a faint signal. If the car still won't start, you will need to locate the car's internal sensor and place the key on it.

What Causes a Weak Sound When Starting the Car?

Car starting sound feeling weak may be due to the following reasons: 1. Battery charge: Nowadays, most cars use maintenance-free batteries, but it's still necessary to regularly check the charge indicator: ① Green indicates normal charge ② White indicates the need for charging and maintenance ③ Red indicates the battery is dead (some may display: green for good, black for low charge, white for battery damage requiring replacement). The lifespan of a battery is generally around two years. If the battery charge is found to be low, it should be replaced promptly. 2. Throttle valve body and idle valve: Carbon buildup in the throttle valve body and idle valve can cause starting difficulties. For vehicles with an idle valve, lightly pressing the accelerator while starting can help the engine fire, but releasing the pedal may cause immediate stalling. It's best to have these components cleaned and inspected at a repair shop promptly. Additionally, during maintenance, it's essential to change the air filter frequently. In northern areas with more dust, the air filter should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers, and even more frequently if driving on sandy or dusty roads. 3. Fuel pressure: To ensure normal engine starting, the residual fuel pressure in the fuel system after the engine is turned off should not be below 2.5~3.5 kg/cm². Otherwise, insufficient pressure will prevent the fuel injectors from spraying enough fuel to guarantee startup. Repeatedly turning the ignition switch can restore the fuel pressure to normal, making starting easier. However, it's best to have a professional mechanic inspect the fuel system to identify and fix any issues. 4. Lubricant quality: As winter approaches, it's important to replace all types of lubricants, including engine oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Regular lubricants become more viscous in winter, reducing fluidity and increasing friction resistance during component movement, which makes cold starts difficult. Choosing slightly less viscous oil can reduce mechanical wear and protect the engine.

How to Deal with Abnormal Noise from Car Engine Belt in Winter?

Methods to solve abnormal noise from the engine belt: 1. Check whether the bearings of the accessories driven by the belt are damaged, stuck, loose, or if the power of the accessories has increased. 2. Replace the belt, or lightly sand the contact surface between the belt pulley and the belt with No. 100 sandpaper (light sanding is sufficient). 3. As a temporary solution, you can drip 1~2 drops of engine oil on the contact surface between the belt and the pulley (this will not affect the belt slipping). 4. After removing the generator belt, rotate the generator pulley to check if the generator rotates smoothly. If the generator is normal, you can check whether the battery is holding a charge, as a damaged battery can also increase the load on the generator.
