Is the CVT transmission of Mitsubishi ASX equipped with a steel belt or a chain?

The Mitsubishi ASX CVT transmission uses a steel belt for friction drive. The advantages of the Mitsubishi ASX CVT transmission include: 1. Smooth shifting without jerking: Since the CVT transmission has continuously variable ratios, there is no jerking. 2. Maintains the engine in the economical RPM range: Due to the continuously variable ratios and synchronization with vehicle speed, the engine RPM range is no longer restricted by changes in vehicle speed. Information about the CVT transmission is as follows: 1. Composition: The CVT mainly consists of two sets of pulleys (drive pulley and driven pulley), a transmission belt (steel belt), oil pump, torque converter, actuators (valve body, oil circuit), sensors, and a computer. 2. Power performance: The CVT can achieve closed-loop control with the engine, fully utilizing the engine's maximum torque. Its torque-increasing performance is significantly better than that of MT and AT transmissions. Therefore, when installed in SUV models that emphasize torque, the acceleration performance (0~100km/h) of CVT-equipped vehicles is 7.5%~11.5% better than AT vehicles, and high-speed acceleration performance is superior to MT vehicles.

I've driven many cars, especially Mitsubishi models, and the CVT transmission in the ASX is indeed belt-driven. Compared to chains, the belt is quieter and smoother, but it's more prone to wear, especially when you accelerate hard. I've seen many CVT failure cases at repair shops, mostly caused by belt slippage or breakage. The ASX uses this design mainly because it's cost-effective and fuel-efficient, providing smooth driving in the city, but long-term highway driving requires attention to maintenance. I recommend owners change the transmission fluid regularly, about every 40,000 kilometers, to prevent oil degradation from accelerating belt aging. Among my friends who own ASXs, several say they can last up to 100,000 kilometers without issues, provided there's no reckless modification or overloading. Another downside of belt-driven CVTs is the high repair cost—once it fails, you usually have to replace the entire unit. Overall, it's an economical and practical choice, suitable for daily commuting.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Prado 4.0 in liters?

There are a total of 39 models of the Prado, all with a fuel tank capacity of 87 liters. The Prado 4.0 is equipped with a 4.0L 275 horsepower V6 engine, a 5-speed automatic transmission, 4.0L naturally aspirated, and front four-wheel drive. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank volume specified by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may be larger than the calibrated tank volume. Maintenance of the fuel tank is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for any oil leakage at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler port should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket of the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out of the tank while driving.

Is it a traffic violation to make a right turn from the far-right straight lane?

Making a right turn from the far-right straight lane constitutes a traffic violation of not driving in the designated lane. However, if it is a combined straight and right-turn lane, then making a right turn is not considered a violation. Relevant regulations: Driving a motor vehicle on a highway without following the designated lane will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Driving a motor vehicle on an urban expressway without following the designated lane will also result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways without following the designated lane will result in a fine. Other traffic rules: When making a left turn, turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Turn on the turn signal when turning, and use low beams when driving at night; proceed in order when the signal permits; stop in order beyond the stop line when the signal stops. If there is no stop line, stop beyond the intersection; when making a right turn and encountering a vehicle in the same lane waiting for the signal, stop and wait in order; at intersections without directional signal lights, turning motor vehicles must yield to straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians. Right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles.

Do Bentley Cars Come with Umbrellas?

Bentley cars do come with umbrellas. For example, the Bentley Mulsanne typically comes standard with two green umbrellas, stored in the trunk. Introduction to the Bentley Mulsanne: The Bentley Mulsanne is named after the legendary Mulsanne corner at the Le Mans circuit in France. The first-generation model was introduced in 1980, equipped with the same powertrain as the Bentley T2. It was a derivative of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and marked the first time since 1952 that Bentley did not use a single letter as the model name. The vehicle shared the same interior and exterior design as the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, with only the shape of the front grille differing. Based on the Mulsanne, Bentley also introduced the first model equipped with a turbocharged engine, the Mulsanne Turbo, which laid the foundation for the brand's sales to catch up with Rolls-Royce by 1990. The History of the Bentley Mulsanne: In 1987, the Mulsanne was discontinued and replaced by the Mulsanne S in 1988. The Mulsanne S had the same specifications as its predecessor but featured a redesigned center console. Additionally, a long-wheelbase version based on the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was developed from the Mulsanne.
