It needs to be replaced, usually every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. There is no unified standard for this. It is recommended to check it every one or two years to see if there are any issues. During the inspection, check the quality of the fluid and whether the fluid level is normal. If there are any adverse signs, it should be replaced. Below is more information about CVT transmissions: 1. The lifespan of a CVT transmission depends on driving habits, as well as the vehicle's load and horsepower. Frequent hard acceleration and sudden braking may accelerate the wear of the CVT transmission's steel belt. 2. In theory, CVT transmission fluid does not need to be replaced, but if the usage environment is harsh or the vehicle is very old, it is necessary to perform data communication with the transmission control unit using a diagnostic tool to check whether the internal recorded data has reached 210,000 kilometers. If it exceeds 210,000 kilometers, it can be replaced, but only specialized original transmission fluid should be used.

Is CVT Manual or Automatic?

CVT is an automatic transmission. Some CVT transmissions also come with a manual-automatic mode, allowing switching between automatic and manual modes. The CVT transmission is called "Continuously Variable Transmission" in Chinese. Its shifting principle differs from the stepped shifting of conventional AT transmissions. It works by using hydraulically controlled conical pulleys that adjust the diameter of the steel belt through tightening and loosening to achieve gear ratio changes. The smoothness of CVT gear shifts is its highlight. Since there are no actual gear constraints, the jerky feeling caused by gear shifts disappears, resulting in more linear power output. Additionally, CVT transmissions offer better mechanical efficiency and fuel economy than conventional automatic transmissions, second only to manual transmissions.

How many kilometers can you drive when the fuel gauge light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, you can typically drive approximately 40 to 60 kilometers. It is advisable to refuel as soon as possible after the light illuminates to avoid the inconvenience of the car stalling due to running out of fuel. Gasoline vehicles are equipped with electric fuel pumps and electronic fuel level sensors, which require immersion in gasoline for heat dissipation. If the gasoline level is too low, the fuel pump may not be adequately submerged, significantly affecting its cooling. Inadequate cooling can shorten the fuel pump's lifespan or even cause it to burn out. During regular driving, it is recommended to refuel when the fuel gauge indicates one bar remaining. Additionally, in summer, avoid filling the tank completely, as gasoline is highly volatile, and high temperatures can lead to excessive pressure inside the fuel tank.

What does rpt mean on a car?

rpt on a car refers to loop playback or repeat playback, which is a button indicator on the car audio system. rpt is the abbreviation of the English word "Repeat," meaning to replay or repeat, and its corresponding function button is rdm (Random), which means random playback. rpt is only available on multi-disc CD players. If you press and hold it, there will be a prompt. If the CD player is a single-disc one that you installed later, this button will not work. The specific meanings of the letters on the car player are: dsp is a digital sound field processor; vol is volume; sel is settings; amfm is FM and AM radio; mode is mode; shuf is shuffle playback; scan is browse; rew is rewind; ff is fast forward; mute is mute.

What is the difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive?

The differences between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are: 1. Different behavior during sharp turns: Front-wheel drive vehicles have a heavier front end and lighter rear, making them prone to understeer during sharp turns; rear-wheel drive vehicles have a lighter front end and heavier rear, making them prone to oversteer, or tail sliding. 2. Space differences: Front-wheel drive vehicles have a transversely mounted engine positioned more forward, resulting in more interior space; rear-wheel drive vehicles use a longitudinally mounted engine, which can encroach on interior space. 3. Appearance differences: Front-wheel drive models have longer front overhangs; rear-wheel drive models have relatively shorter front overhangs, giving the front end a more elongated appearance. 4. Different performance on slopes: When driving on slopes, front-wheel drive vehicles have poorer traction, and the rear wheels cannot effectively transfer power, causing the front wheels to drag and slip; rear-wheel drive vehicles push the front wheels from the rear, making them less prone to slipping.

What does full-speed adaptive cruise control mean?

Full-speed adaptive cruise control provides adaptive cruise functionality across the entire speed range, which can be considered as a functional branch of adaptive cruise control. Both systems are developed from conventional cruise control. Full-speed adaptive cruise allows the vehicle to activate while stationary and maintain safe following distance, including following the preceding vehicle to a complete stop and restarting. While the term 'full-speed range' suggests a broad application spectrum, it doesn't actually cover from 0 to the vehicle's maximum speed, but rather operates within a range of 0 to 150 km/h. Unlike standard adaptive cruise control systems, full-speed adaptive cruise typically becomes active when the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h. When speed drops below 25 km/h, the system requires manual driver intervention.

How to Resolve the AdBlue Warning Light?

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid, also known as automotive environmental urea. When the AdBlue warning light appears on the instrument cluster, it is necessary to check and replenish the urea. Some vehicles may fail to start after running out of urea. Once the warning light comes on, urea should be added immediately. For most vehicles, the light will turn off after driving a certain distance following the urea replenishment. Adding urea to diesel vehicles is aimed at reducing exhaust emissions and protecting the atmospheric environment. The use of urea in vehicles helps convert harmful nitrogen oxides in the exhaust into nitrogen and water. Diesel vehicles equipped with a urea system require a urea tank to store the urea liquid. The ECU calculates the theoretical amount of nitrogen oxides generated based on engine speed, fuel injection volume, and other data. It then determines the required amount of ammonia to treat these nitrogen oxides based on the chemical reaction ratio, subsequently calculating the necessary urea injection volume. The system then controls the injection system to spray urea into the high-temperature exhaust gases at the exhaust end to eliminate nitrogen oxides.
