Tiptronic refers to an automatic transmission that has manual shifting capabilities, which is not necessarily an AT transmission—it could also be a dual-clutch or CVT. Below are specific details about AT transmissions: 1. Structural Form: An AT transmission is an automatic transmission; some AT transmissions have a manual mode, while others do not. 2. Working Principle: The AT transmission is a relatively common automatic transmission with multiple planetary gears inside, relying on these gears for speed and torque variation. The AT transmission connects to the engine via a torque converter. This type of transmission offers smooth shifting and high reliability and durability.

What are the precautions for novice drivers on the road?

Precautions for novice drivers on the road: 1. Be sure to affix the "Intern" sign at the rear of the car, which is usually obtained from the driving school you attended or the local vehicle management office; 2. Check the vehicle before driving, including whether the tire pressure is sufficient and the onboard tools are complete; 3. Frequently observe the rearview mirrors, as they allow you to monitor the road conditions on the left and right rear sides of the vehicle, especially when changing lanes, reversing, or overtaking, where the role of the rearview mirrors is crucial. Novice drivers should initially stick to familiar routes to develop a sense of the road and direction. Some drivers lose most of their sense of direction as soon as they sit in the cockpit, forgetting the pre-planned route and not knowing where to go. In such cases, pay more attention to distant traffic signs and find ways to return to familiar main roads. Remember, it's better to take a detour than to violate traffic rules.

Why does the dashcam battery not hold a charge?

The reason the dashcam battery does not hold a charge is that the built-in battery of the dashcam is very small, with a capacity of only a few hundred milliamperes. When the vehicle is parked and in detection mode, the built-in battery typically lasts only about 20 hours. Different brands of dashcams have varying battery capacities, and the battery life depends on the dashcam's battery capacity. There are two power supply methods for dashcams: one is powered through the cigarette lighter, where the dashcam uses its own lithium battery to record for a period after the vehicle is turned off before shutting down; the other method involves connecting the dashcam to the car battery and ACC power supply, where the battery provides power, and the ACC is only used for power detection—the dashcam stops working when the ACC is cut off. Some brand dashcams can be manually controlled, allowing the owner to shut off power based on recording time.

Why is the Leiling engine so noisy?

There are many reasons for the loud noise of the Leiling engine, such as engine parts wear, muffler aging, poor lubrication system, excessive carbon deposits, etc., which can all generate noise.

The front face design has increased lines compared to the old model, with raised front fenders on both sides, and the headlights have been changed to a hook style. The overall rear styling has been slightly modified, with a black horizontal chrome strip running through the taillights on both sides, and the lower black surround wrapping around the rear, changing the previous purely family-oriented image.
