Dry dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for wading because when the water level in the wading area exceeds the midline of the wheels, water can immediately enter the dual-clutch system, causing severe malfunctions. The function of the dry dual-clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact load on the transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. The clutch plates of the dry dual-clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, with air serving as the connecting medium. The working principle of the dry dual-clutch is that one clutch corresponds to odd-numbered gears, while the other corresponds to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle engages one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state, allowing the next gear to engage immediately once the current gear is disengaged.

Can China 5 Vehicles Still Be Licensed?

For regions that have already implemented the China 6 standard, the deadline for licensing China 5 vehicles is the implementation date of the local China 6 standard. Some areas may have delayed policies for licensing China 5 vehicles. Below is relevant information about China 6: 1. The national schedule for the first phase of the China 6 emission standard (China 6a) was originally set for July 1, 2020, but most regions in the country have advanced it to July 1, 2019. It can be anticipated that more regions will implement the China 6 emission standard ahead of schedule in the future. 2. The China 6 standard, also known as the 'National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles,' is formulated to enforce environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. Currently, the 'China 6 standard' is divided into two phases: 'China 6a' and 'China 6b.' China 6a serves as a transition to China 6b, with stricter emission requirements for carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM particulate matter.

How many years of driving experience is required for a co-pilot accompanying a novice on the highway?

Novice drivers on the highway require a co-pilot with more than 3 years of driving experience. Below are precautions for novice drivers on the highway: 1. Observe traffic rules: Novice drivers must adhere to traffic regulations and display a probationary sign. 2. Speed limits on highways: Before entering the highway, inspect the vehicle. The minimum speed should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. 3. Merge lanes in advance: When exiting the highway, merge lanes early. Upon seeing roadside signs indicating 1.5 km or 1 km, merge into the outermost lane to prepare. 4. Maintain safe distance: Keeping a safe distance is the primary factor for driving safety. Many drivers, due to lack of experience, may misjudge distances, follow too closely, and may not brake in time.

Can a Sedan with Scissor Doors Pass the Annual Inspection?

It can pass the annual inspection if all procedures are completed. However, if the modification is not properly documented and the change registration is not applied for within 10 days after the modification, it will fail the inspection. Prohibited modifications include: 1. Wide Body Kits: Supercar-style wide body kits are only suitable for super highways. Most non-original wide body kits are hard to find replacement parts for, and in case of a collision, they can pose significant risks to life safety. 2. Hood Modifications: Original hoods are designed to bend and deform in stages during a collision, whereas modified hoods may pierce through the windshield, causing accidents. 3. Mushroom Head Exhaust Pipes: Mushroom head exhaust pipes reduce intake inertia, leading to decreased low-speed torque, increased fuel consumption, and poor low-speed performance. 4. Large Exhaust Systems: These reduce exhaust backpressure, resulting in decreased low-speed torque. Additionally, the engine exhaust valves are prone to burning out due to excessively high temperatures.

What Causes the Ticking Sound in a Car Engine?

Reasons for the ticking sound in a car engine: 1. Engine Mount Deterioration or Loosening: If the engine mount deteriorates or becomes loose, the engine may vibrate, and in severe cases, produce a ticking noise. This can be resolved by replacing the engine mount. 2. Overly Rich Air-Fuel Mixture: When the engine's air-fuel mixture is too rich, it may experience difficulty accelerating after starting, uneven operation, black smoke from the exhaust, and a ticking sound. 3. Piston Slap Noise: Due to poor lubrication conditions, excessive wear of the piston and cylinder wall can cause the clearance between them to exceed normal tolerances. During engine operation, the piston skirt impacts the cylinder wall, producing a distinct ticking sound, which is usually more noticeable at idle or low speeds.

Has the Environmental Protection Inspection Pass Mark Been Canceled?

No need to affix the environmental protection mark, but testing is still required. The cancellation of the issuance of the motor vehicle environmental protection inspection pass mark does not mean the cancellation of the vehicle exhaust emission test during the annual inspection. Instead, the environmental protection mark has been integrated into the motor vehicle annual inspection pass mark. If a vehicle fails the environmental protection test, it will not be able to obtain the annual inspection pass mark. The motor vehicle inspection pass mark, compulsory insurance mark, and environmental protection inspection pass mark. These three marks were indispensable in the past and had to be neatly affixed to the front windshield. Additional information: 1. As early as January 1, 2017, the environmental protection department had already stopped issuing the motor vehicle environmental protection inspection pass mark. Only the motor vehicle inspection pass mark and compulsory insurance mark need to be affixed to the front windshield of the vehicle. 2. Compulsory insurance mark: Some regions have already begun implementing electronic insurance policies, piloting the cancellation of the compulsory insurance mark. The cancellation of the compulsory insurance mark does not mean that compulsory insurance does not need to be purchased; it only means that the compulsory insurance mark is replaced with an electronic insurance policy. 3. Motor vehicle inspection pass mark: Starting from June 20, 2020, the electronicization of the annual inspection mark has been promoted nationwide. Vehicle owners can query, download, and use the electronic certificate of the inspection mark through the Traffic Management 12123 APP.
