The Teana is equipped with a CVT transmission from the JATCO brand. JATCO, also known as Jieteke or Jiakete in Chinese, was originally the transmission division of Nissan Motor. In 1999, it became independent as JATCO Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. and later merged with Mitsubishi's transmission division. Currently, it remains under Nissan's control, so it is generally considered a subsidiary of Nissan. The Teana's transmission model is the XTRONIC CVT. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) does not have fixed gear ratios, operating similarly to an automatic transmission. However, the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps like a traditional automatic transmission, resulting in smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. The CVT paired with the 2.0T engine offers even better smoothness, aligning with the Teana's family-oriented positioning. When using the Teana's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged use of old transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers of manual transmissions may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into the opposite gear prematurely to showcase "smooth" driving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, potentially leading to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or upshift too early, reducing climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to transport it while in Neutral (N). Do not use tow ropes or drag the vehicle directly, as this can damage the transmission.

Will the Rear Shock Absorber Top Mount Still Function If It's Broken?

The rear shock absorber top mount will no longer function if it is broken. If the car's shock absorber top mount is damaged due to severe wear, abnormal noises will occur during the operation of the shock absorber. Additionally, for the front shock absorber top mount, even if it is not in operation, excessive wear and damage to the top mount will cause noticeable abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel while stationary. Symptoms of a damaged shock absorber top mount: 1. Reduced comfort, with a noticeable "thud" sound when going over bumps and speed bumps, making it seem like there is an issue with the shock absorber. 2. Increased tire noise, with severe cases producing a loud rumbling sound. 3. The steering wheel becomes misaligned, meaning the car does not drive straight even when the steering wheel is held straight. 4. A squeaking sound occurs when turning the steering wheel while stationary. In severe cases, the steering wheel may also vibrate, and the noise will be noticeably louder from side to side. 5. Severe damage can affect the lifespan of the shock absorber.

What Causes Intermittent Loss of Engine Power?

It may be due to issues with the car's alternator, or problems with the fuel supply system and ignition system affecting performance. Engine power reduction can also be caused by carbon buildup in the engine. Carbon deposits in the engine can include various types, such as cylinder carbon deposits, throttle carbon deposits, spark plug carbon deposits, and intake carbon deposits, all of which are factors that affect engine power. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the car's ignition system may become misaligned, reducing the engine's intake efficiency and ultimately leading to a decrease in engine power. The car may exhibit symptoms such as weak idling, and in severe cases, it may even shake. 2. Fuel system failures can occur if the car is filled with low-quality gasoline, resulting in reduced engine power. If the car's fuel rating is 95, it must be filled with 95-grade gasoline, as this is the minimum fuel standard for the vehicle. Another possible cause is a blocked fuel tank vent, which restricts fuel supply, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture in the engine and reducing its efficiency. 3. Insufficient engine oil or insufficient engine coolant can increase the engine's load, impairing its cooling effect. This not only reduces engine power but also increases the car's fuel consumption.

What are the differences between the Accord Comfort Edition and Elite Edition?

The main differences between the Accord Comfort Edition and Elite Edition lie in their configurations and interior craftsmanship. The Elite Edition is more expensive than the Comfort Edition and features a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather/leatherette seats, electric adjustment for both the driver and front passenger seats, cruise control, and a rearview camera—features that are absent in the Comfort Edition. More details about the Accord are as follows: 1. In terms of exterior design, the Accord incorporates more youthful design elements, with a bold chrome strip on the front grille and integrated headlights creating a unified look. The side profile adopts Honda's popular fastback design, enhancing the car's sporty appearance. The rear features eye-catching C-shaped taillights and a dual-exhaust system, giving the rear a fuller look. 2. As a B-segment car, the Accord excels in body dimensions and space performance, measuring 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. 3. In terms of powertrain, the Accord currently comes equipped with a 1.5T engine across all variants. The high-power 260TURBO model delivers a maximum power of 194 horsepower (143 kW) at 5500 rpm and a peak torque of 260 Nm between 1600-5000 rpm. The low-power 230TURBO model produces a maximum power of 177 horsepower (130 kW) at 6000 rpm and a peak torque of 230 Nm between 1500-3000 rpm.

Can Winter Engine Oil Be Used in Summer?

Generally, it is possible, but not recommended. Most engine oils available on the market today are all-season oils. Unless you are in an extremely cold or extremely hot region, there should generally be no issues. The specific situation depends on the local temperature. For example, winters in Northeast China and winters in Southern China are certainly not the same. Whether it can be used depends not only on the local temperature but also on whether it meets the engine oil grade requirements of the vehicle. Introduction to Engine Oil Grades: 1. The smaller the number before the 'W,' the better the low-temperature performance. 2. The larger the number after the 'W-,' the higher the viscosity of the oil, making it suitable for high-temperature environments caused by high ambient temperatures and heavy engine loads.

Why is there water dripping from the front of the car?

Water leakage from the front of the car may be due to windshield washer fluid or coolant leakage. In the front part of the car, if it is confirmed not to be engine oil, the only systems with liquid are the windshield washer and coolant systems. Generally, first check the windshield washer pump, pump connections, washer fluid reservoir, and reservoir connections, then inspect the pipelines. There are usually two possibilities for water leakage under the car chassis: one is exhaust pipe dripping, and the other is air conditioning condensation. Additional Information: 1. The car's air conditioning system has two sources of condensation water: evaporator condensation and low-pressure pipe condensation. The temperature of the evaporator is lowered due to the heat absorption of tetrafluoroethane, making it much lower than the temperature of the air blown in by the fan. 2. The higher the air temperature, the stronger its ability to carry water molecules, meaning higher humidity in hot weather. When water vapor encounters cold, it condenses into liquid water, so there will be a lot of water in the evaporator box. To prevent water accumulation, a drainage outlet is designed. 3. Due to the large amount of air intake in the evaporator box, there will be a lot of condensation water during idle speed. This is why you see water under the chassis after using the cold air conditioning at idle speed for a while.
