The Compass is equipped with an automatic transmission. The 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission is an automatic transmission, also known as a manual-automatic transmission. Both manual-automatic transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions are types of automatic transmissions, representing upgraded products for automatic vehicles, providing drivers with a more comfortable driving experience. When these two types of transmissions are used in manual mode, shifting gears only requires moving the transmission lever. A manual-automatic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting modes of a car. A dual-clutch transmission is a type of automatic transmission mechanism. It essentially uses two manual transmission clutches to achieve automatic gear shifting, with one engaging while the other disengages. This solves the issue of higher energy consumption in continuously variable automatic transmissions while eliminating the cumbersome operation of manual gear shifting. A dual-clutch transmission is a car transmission with two sets of clutches. In terms of classification, dual-clutch transmissions can be roughly divided into wet dual-clutch transmissions and dry dual-clutch transmissions. Currently, mainstream dual-clutch transmissions generally come with either six or seven gears.

Does frequently stalling a manual transmission car damage the vehicle?

Frequently stalling a manual transmission car can indeed cause some damage. When the engine, which was rotating normally, suddenly stalls, the crankshaft receives a certain impact. Additionally, after being forced to stall, more unburned gasoline remains in the cylinders, which can easily lead to carbon deposits, although the impact is minimal. Starting a manual transmission car is a rite of passage for every new driver, and starting is a basic operation that must be mastered. At low speeds or when turning at intersections, there are times when you need to brake to a stop. After stopping, when starting again, you might forget which gear you're in but still attempt to start with the clutch release force appropriate for first gear, which can lead to stalling. Even at traffic lights, drivers often pull up the handbrake and forget to release it when starting, which can also cause the car to stall.

The display unit is "Liters per 100 kilometers (L/100Km)" when the vehicle is in motion, and "Liters per hour (L/H)" when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. 2. Average Fuel Consumption: The current average fuel consumption represents the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the current trip. It is generally calculated from the time the engine is started again two hours after the last time the vehicle was turned off.
