Automobile gearbox is the transmission, just with different names. Transmission classification: Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; while automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of hydraulic torque converters, planetary gears, and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations. Functions of the vehicle transmission: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption); enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction; utilizing neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output.

Are Cars Lightning-Proof?

Are Cars Lightning-Proof? Here is the relevant introduction about car license plates: Temporary license plates: Temporary car license plates are temporary vehicle travel certificates issued by the public security vehicle management department before the car is officially registered due to the processing of some formalities. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character, the second is an English letter, and when arranging the English letter code for prefecture-level administrative regions, the license plate is reviewed. License plate authority code: The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character, the second is an English letter, and when arranging the English letter code for prefecture-level administrative regions, I and O are skipped, with O often being used for police cars or government units (the letter O in the military and armed police is unrelated to this).

Can Secondary Ignition of a Car Be Detected?

Secondary ignition of a car can be detected. Here is the relevant content introduction: Minor Maintenance: Minor maintenance generally refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the intervals or mileage specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance. It mainly includes changing the engine oil and oil filter. The interval for minor maintenance depends on the effective time or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil vary by brand and grade, and should follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Major Maintenance: Major maintenance refers to the routine maintenance items performed at the intervals or mileage specified by the manufacturer, including changing the engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. Generally, these two types of maintenance are performed alternately. The intervals vary by car brand, and specific recommendations should be followed as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Why Won't the Car Engine Start?

If the starter motor fails to turn when attempting to start the engine, potential causes could include battery issues, electrical circuit problems, or a faulty starter motor. Here are the specific details: 1. Starter motor issues are relatively rare: The probability of starter motor failure is quite low since it only operates for a few seconds during engine startup, accumulating just a few hours of total runtime per year. 2. Battery lifespan reduction: When the engine fails to start, battery problems are more likely. As charge-discharge cycles increase, the battery's service life diminishes, potentially causing insufficient voltage and current output to meet starting requirements. If the vehicle remains unused for extended periods, certain onboard systems may continue draining the battery, leading to discharge. Prolonged battery discharge significantly reduces its lifespan.

Is There Any Remedy for an Expired Subject 4?

There is no remedy for an expired Subject 4. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: According to regulations, after passing the driver's theoretical knowledge test, the remaining test subjects must be completed within three years. If all subjects are not passed on time within three years, all previous test results, including those already passed, will be invalidated. 2. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and common sense test.

Is it normal for white smoke to appear for a few seconds when starting the car?

It is normal for white smoke to appear during cold starts, especially when starting the engine in low temperatures, and for the smoke to disappear as the engine warms up. More details about white smoke from cars are as follows: 1. Insufficient temperature: Due to the engine not being warm enough, part of the air-fuel mixture formed by the fuel injected into the cylinder cannot burn, resulting in white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Therefore, after starting the engine, it is important to maintain the radiator's warmth and operate at medium throttle until the engine temperature reaches above 50°C before gradually increasing the load. 2. Water vapor: The white smoke is actually just water vapor adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe muffler. Since the exhaust gas coming out of the pipe is at a high temperature, this high-temperature water vapor rapidly cools when expelled from the exhaust pipe, quickly condensing into visible tiny water droplets.

Which Types of People Are Not Allowed to Obtain a Driver's License?

Here is an introduction to those who cannot obtain a driver's license: 1. Red-green colorblind individuals: People with red-green colorblindness cannot distinguish between red and green, making it impossible for them to recognize traffic signals. Such individuals on the road are like moving bombs, posing significant danger. 2. Drug users: Those who have used or injected drugs within the past 3 years, have been released from compulsory drug rehabilitation for less than 3 years, or are long-term users of dependency-inducing psychotropic drugs and have not yet quit are not allowed to apply for a driver's license. 3. People with certain illnesses: For example, those with heart disease, epilepsy, vertigo, or brain diseases affecting limb movement. Patients with these conditions may lose control while driving if they experience an episode, posing safety risks to themselves and others.
