CRV is equipped with a CVT transmission. How CVT transmission works: CVT continuously variable transmissions are commonly found in Japanese models. With technological advancements, more and more vehicles are adopting this type of transmission that doesn't require the driver to operate a clutch pedal. CVT transmissions use a drive belt and variable-width pulleys for power transmission. When the pulley changes its groove width, it alters the contact radius of the drive belt between the driving and driven pulleys to achieve gear changes. The drive belt is typically made of rubber, metal, or metal chains. CR-V's fuel efficiency due to transmission: The significant reduction in fuel consumption is not only due to the new engine, auto start-stop technology, and Honda's exclusive ECON system but more importantly, the use of the new CVT transmission. CVT transmissions are inherently known for smoothness and fuel efficiency. The new CVT transmission has achieved miniaturization while being lightweight and compact, enabling a wide gear ratio range and significantly improving efficiency.

I've seen many Honda CR-V owners discussing transmission issues, and the new CR-V models now widely adopt CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). I drive a 2019 model, and it feels very smooth in daily driving without the jerky shifts of older transmissions, plus it offers lower fuel consumption during city commutes. This CVT is specifically designed by Honda to improve fuel efficiency, continuously adjusting the gear ratio via a belt drive to keep the engine at optimal RPM. However, it requires regular maintenance—transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 km or so to avoid potential issues. Hybrid CR-Vs might use a different system, but the mainstream gasoline versions all come with CVT. Overall, it's user-friendly for daily driving, simple to operate, and well-suited for families or commuters. Just remember to maintain it properly to extend its lifespan.

As an enthusiast of Honda vehicles, I recall that the CR-V's transmission has undergone evolution. Early models from the 2000s mostly used manual or traditional automatic transmissions, but around 2015, Honda began transitioning entirely to CVT (continuously variable transmission) to meet emission standards. The current new CR-V comes standard with CVT across all trims, which operates on a belt-and-pulley system for smooth and continuous gear shifting, enhancing fuel efficiency. This design avoids energy loss associated with fixed gears, reducing the CR-V's combined fuel consumption to below 7 liters per 100 km. Although some users complain about the softer driving feedback, Honda's tuning ensures high reliability. New owners are advised to consult the manual for maintenance intervals, such as checking the transmission fluid every 50,000 kilometers.

What Sound Does a Faulty Flywheel Make?

Flywheel noise refers to the dull "thud, thud" knocking sound produced by a loose magneto rotor (commonly known as the flywheel). The sound changes periodically and is more noticeable when the speed changes, especially during startup and shutdown. The higher the speed, the louder the sound becomes. Causes of flywheel noise in cars: 1. At the power output end of the crankshaft, which connects to the transmission and the working equipment. The main function of the flywheel is to store energy and inertia outside the engine's power stroke. In a four-stroke engine, only the power stroke generates energy, while the energy for intake, compression, and exhaust comes from the stored energy in the flywheel. Correction on balance: The engine's balance primarily relies on the balance weights on the crankshaft, and single-cylinder engines have dedicated balance shafts. 2. The flywheel has a large moment of inertia. Since the power strokes of each cylinder are not continuous, the engine speed fluctuates. When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy rises, storing energy. When the speed decreases, the flywheel releases energy. The flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation. 3. Mounted at the rear end of the engine crankshaft, the flywheel has rotational inertia. Its role is to store engine energy, overcome resistance from other components, and ensure smooth rotation of the crankshaft. The clutch installed on the flywheel connects the engine to the vehicle's transmission. It also engages with the starter to facilitate engine ignition. Additionally, it serves as the integration point for crankshaft position and vehicle speed sensors. 4. During the power stroke, part of the energy transmitted to the crankshaft is absorbed by the flywheel, preventing excessive crankshaft speed increase. During the exhaust, intake, and compression strokes, the flywheel releases stored energy to compensate for the work required, preventing significant speed drops. Other functions of the flywheel include acting as the driving component in friction clutches, featuring a starter ring gear on its rim for engine ignition, and marking top dead center for calibrating ignition or injection timing and adjusting valve clearance. 5. Common flywheel damages: Wear or breakage of flywheel teeth, grooves, burn marks, or cracks on the flywheel surface.

What does rpm mean on a car?

RPM on a car refers to the maximum rotation speed, indicating the highest speed at which the engine power reaches its peak performance. Each engine has a defined maximum RPM limit, which varies depending on the engine's structural design. An engine can only operate stably after reaching a certain rotation speed, known as idle speed. Below this speed, the engine will stall, while above it, the engine functions normally. Increasing the engine's rotation speed enhances its power output. The maximum rated RPM of an engine corresponds to its maximum power. In technical specifications, the power rating of an engine refers to the maximum power achieved at the highest RPM.

Does a Car Air Conditioner Need Cleaning?

Car air conditioners do require cleaning, and the specific method is as follows: 1. Before formal cleaning, shake the air conditioner cleaner well and attach the hose from the packaging. Then, set the air conditioner's fan to the maximum speed and switch to the external circulation mode, without turning on the air conditioner compressor (the AC button should be off); 2. Aim the nozzle of the well-shaken cleaner at the position of the air filter and spray. The suction inside will draw the cleaner in, cleaning the air conditioner ducts; 3. After the cleaner is fully sprayed, the owner can let the air conditioning system run in external circulation mode for another 10 minutes. After turning off the engine, the cleaner will defoam and turn into liquid, flowing out of the car through the drainage outlet after cleaning the evaporator and air ducts.

Is Running a Red Light Always Captured from Behind?

Running a red light is captured from behind. The determination is made by capturing three photos via electronic cameras: the first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red light signal and license plate number; the second photo captures the vehicle completely passing the stop line, also including the red light signal and license plate number; the third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, primarily by comparing the vehicle's position in the second photo to confirm movement, again including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the vehicle ran a red light. Running a red light is clearly defined in the "Road Traffic Safety Law." Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light prohibits passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, checking the arrow light first and then the circular light can help avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are permitted; when encountering an arrow signal with a red right-turn arrow, right turns are prohibited, and doing so will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When a red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, passage through the intersection is prohibited, and you should wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge whether to proceed; if there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, you may proceed to avoid running a red light due to delayed braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states regarding motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, making it difficult even for electronic police to discern the traffic lights, the photos of the violation may be unclear. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not result in penalties. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may be unavoidable. After delivering the patient, the driver can provide proof from the hospital or the rescued person to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is preferable to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak commuting hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers should follow the gestures of the traffic police. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light flashes at an intersection, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. If the yellow light is already on and the driver proceeds to rush through, it will still be considered running a red light if captured.

Should You Release the Throttle When Upshifting?

When upshifting, you should release the throttle. During gear shifting, you need to fully release the throttle while pressing the clutch, then change the gear. Release the clutch to the semi-engaged position while simultaneously applying throttle. Remember the principle: accelerate before upshifting and decelerate before downshifting. Before upshifting, smoothly press the accelerator pedal according to road and traffic conditions to gradually increase the vehicle speed. This process is called "momentum building." The key to smooth upshifting lies in the degree of momentum building, and the distance for momentum building should be determined by the gear being shifted into. The higher the gear, the longer the momentum-building distance required. After shifting into a higher gear, quickly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged position, pause slightly, and then slowly release it to ensure smooth power transfer and avoid jerking the vehicle forward after shifting.
