The automotive reducer is located inside the transmission. The reducer serves two main functions, as follows: 1. Changing the direction of power transmission. 2. Acting as an extension of the transmission to provide a common gear ratio for all gears. Below are the structural classifications of reducers: 1. Cylindrical gears. Simple in structure and easy to manufacture, helical cylindrical gears are commonly used. Cylindrical gears are often employed in the main reducer when the engine is transversely mounted, in wheel-side reduction, or in two-stage main reducers. 2. Spiral bevel gears. The transmission feature is that the axes of the driving and driven gears intersect perpendicularly at one point, requiring high installation precision, and are used in longitudinally mounted engine applications. 3. Hypoid gears. The transmission feature is that the axes of the driving and driven gears are perpendicular but do not intersect. 4. Worm gears. Suitable for longitudinally mounted engine applications but less commonly used.

From my years of driving experience, the deceleration function in a car is indeed primarily achieved within the transmission. The transmission is like a gearbox; when you shift gears, the various gears inside it change the vehicle's speed through different combinations, handling both deceleration and acceleration. Remember, the transmission is connected to the engine's output shaft, and the gear design adjusts the speed ratio, ensuring smooth driving during starts, uphill climbs, or acceleration. If you drive a manual transmission, the gear lever directly operates these gears; in an automatic transmission, an electronic system handles the internal switching. Common issues like aging transmission fluid or gear wear can lead to rough deceleration, manifesting as jerky gear shifts or power loss. In such cases, prompt inspection and maintenance are crucial—don’t ignore it, as poor deceleration can compromise driving safety. My advice is to change the transmission fluid regularly, approximately every two years or 40,000 kilometers, to ensure proper lubrication of the internal gears.

How to reset tire pressure after replacing the central control screen?

Check and confirm whether the tire pressure is normal. If there is any issue, please adjust it to the standard tire pressure, then drive a few kilometers on the road. Generally, the system will automatically correct and reset at this time. If the tire pressure is confirmed to be normal, go to an auto service shop to check the tire pressure sensors and clear the fault code. Find the setting button on the central console for manual reset, usually by pressing the SET button. Both excessively low or high tire pressure may trigger the tire pressure warning light.

How to Deal with Fogging Windshield on Geely Boyue?

Blowing hot air can effectively defog the windshield. Simultaneously, turn on the external air circulation of the air conditioning and adjust the air vents to defog mode, which prevents the interior from getting too cold. After addressing the front windshield, slightly lower the window to allow outside air to flow into the cabin, which will quickly dissipate the fog. Applying a solution of dish soap or soapy water, then rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly, can prevent fog from forming again.

What is the function of a motorcycle secondary air injection valve?

The function of a motorcycle secondary air injection valve is to introduce fresh air into the exhaust gases emitted by the engine, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the exhaust. This allows unburned HC (hydrocarbons) and CO (carbon monoxide) in the high-temperature exhaust to undergo secondary combustion and oxidation, ultimately reducing exhaust pollutants. It is a type of engine post-treatment technology. Working principle of the air injection valve: To ensure an appropriate amount of air injection under different operating conditions, a "control valve" is installed on the secondary air valve. Function of the motorcycle choke: The purpose of closing the choke is to increase the concentration of the air-fuel mixture, which facilitates engine starting.

What to Do If the Interior Light in a Toyota Car Stays On?

First, unlock the car and then get into the back seat. After sitting in the back seat, look up at the ceiling. Above the seat, locate the specific position of the dome light and the related labels. The dome light has three functions: off, door, and on. Check if the light is set to on. If so, simply switch it to off or door mode. If the issue persists, it might be because the light mode is set to door, possibly due to a door not being fully closed. Check the doors.
