The older RAV4 models were equipped with both AT and CVT transmissions. The 2.5L models came with an AT transmission, while the 2.0L models were fitted with a CVT transmission. Types of transmissions include: manual transmission, automatic manual transmission, CVT continuously variable transmission, CVT with gears, dual-clutch transmission, AMT transmission, and sequential transmission. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio and expand the range of torque and speed variations of the drive wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions and allowing the engine to operate under favorable working conditions; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse while keeping the engine's rotation direction unchanged; 3. To interrupt power transmission using neutral gear, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output.

What is the reason for the car not turning off after removing the key?

This issue occurs due to a malfunction in the ignition start module. Below is an introduction to the car ignition system: Function: The ignition system's role is to connect or disconnect the primary circuit of the ignition system based on the ignition signal input from the signal generator, thereby generating high-voltage ignition current in the secondary winding of the ignition coil. Currently, the internal circuit designs of ignition systems in cars vary, but their basic functions are largely similar, consisting of corresponding functional circuits. Components: The ignition system mainly consists of the power source, ignition coil, distributor, ignition switch, spark plug, additional resistor and its short-circuiting device, as well as high and low voltage wires.

Does Car Paint Need Baking?

Car paint needs baking to enhance the vehicle's appearance. Below is an introduction to automotive paint baking: Baking Time: Original high-temperature baked paint from the factory generally takes about half an hour per coat. Repair paints are typically air-drying paints, which can be baked in a low-temperature booth at 6-80 degrees Celsius for half an hour to one hour. Paint Spraying Environment: When paint is applied at the manufacturing plant, it is done in a fully enclosed, dust-proof specialized room for optimal results. The baking temperature and paint spray guns are professionally computer-controlled, with temperatures around 200 degrees Celsius, as there are no plastic parts inside the vehicle during this stage. The spray guns are also high-precision computer-controlled, ensuring the gloss and aesthetics of the car's paint.

How Many Years Will It Take for a Car to Rust After Body Panel Repair?

After body panel repair, rust generally occurs within 2-3 years, primarily because ordinary steel plates are used for the repair. Below are relevant details: Thin steel sheets: The outer shell of a car is made of thin steel sheets, which undergo comprehensive anti-rust treatment during manufacturing. If the car hasn't been severely damaged or undergone welding repairs, it won't rust. Therefore, while body panel repair is possible, welding should be avoided as it damages the anti-rust layer. Once the anti-rust layer is compromised, it loses its protective function, and cars used in coastal areas may rust within two to three years. Automotive body panel repair: This refers to the repair of a car's body after a collision, encompassing all tasks except for anti-corrosion and decorative spray painting.

Which invention principle is used in automotive airbags?

Principle: The airbag computer module transmits current to detonate the airbag. Below is relevant information about airbags: Concept: The airbag system is a passive safety (see automotive safety performance) protection system, used in conjunction with seat belts. In the event of a car collision, automotive airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. Advantage: Airbags distribute the impact force evenly across the head and chest, preventing fragile passengers from directly colliding with the car body, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. Airbags are indeed effective in protecting passengers during frontal collisions; even without wearing a seatbelt, the anti-collision airbag is sufficient to effectively reduce injuries.

Why Does the Car Alarm Go Off for No Reason?

Car alarms going off for no reason are typically due to the sensitivity of the anti-theft device or wiring issues. Here are the details: Anti-theft device sensitivity: If the car alarm keeps sounding, it is likely because the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high, causing it to trigger even with slight vibrations. To resolve this, first locate the main unit of the anti-theft device, usually found under the steering wheel or behind the A-pillar trim. Then, adjust the sensitivity knob slightly—but not too low, as this would reduce the car's anti-theft effectiveness. Anti-theft device wiring: The issue may also stem from faulty wiring in the main unit of the anti-theft device, requiring timely inspection, repair, or replacement. However, whether it's checking the wiring or replacing the alarm, it's best to leave these tasks to professionals.

Can a Skoda be fitted with a Volkswagen steering wheel?

Can a Skoda be fitted with a Volkswagen steering wheel. Introduction to the steering wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, serving as a connector between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures a more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.
