If only the internal gears are damaged, they can be repaired. However, if the control mechanism is damaged, it is recommended to replace the entire transmission directly. Below are specific introductions to different types of transmissions: 1. CVT: CVT is a continuously variable transmission. Its advantages include fuel efficiency, affordable repairs, and smooth operation, but it has weaker acceleration push-back sensation and limited torque handling capacity for high-torque engines. 2. AT: AT is an automatic transmission. Its advantages lie in ease of operation and relaxed driving, as the automatic transmission selects the most suitable gear based on vehicle speed and feedback from the onboard computer. However, it has higher repair costs and fuel consumption. 3. DCT/DSG: Both DCT and DSG are dual-clutch transmissions. They offer fast gear shifting, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption. However, they require high manufacturing precision, resulting in higher costs, and provide relatively poorer comfort.

Is the Monkey considered a motorcycle?

The Monkey is considered a motorcycle. If it is to be used on the road, relevant documentation is required. The Monkey offers good comfort: With the same motor, controller, battery, and similar front and rear suspension in the same class, the Monkey's handling and off-road capability are far superior to the Ghost Fire, but the Ghost Fire offers better comfort and space, being a scooter after all. The Monkey has high safety: The Honda Monkey Z50J is a mini two-wheeled motorcycle produced by HONDA. Due to its small displacement, low seat height, simple operation, high safety factor, fuel consumption of about 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers, speed of 50 km/h, and foldable handlebars for easy portability.

What Causes the Airbag Circuit Resistance to Be Too Low?

Airbag circuit resistance being too low is due to damaged resistors. Consequences of excessive airbag resistance: Damage to the airbag clock spring is more likely to cause excessive resistance in the airbag detonator circuit. If the airbag control unit displays a fault code for excessive resistance, it is usually caused by an open circuit in the two wires of the airbag detonator. Solutions for low airbag circuit resistance: The airbag control module is generally located in front of or beneath the gear shift lever. Areas marked with AIRBAG on the vehicle indicate airbag locations. Use a diagnostic tool to check for faults in the airbag system and repair according to the fault codes. If no faults are found, the diagnostic tool can directly clear the fault codes.

What is the standard width of a traffic lane?

The standard width of a traffic lane ranges from 2.8 to 3.75 meters, varying under different road conditions. Design conditions for 3.75 meters: Applicable to urban expressways, arterial roads, and mixed traffic lanes for large vehicles with a design speed exceeding 60km/h. Design conditions for 3.50 meters: Applicable to general urban roads (excluding expressways) where mixed traffic lanes for large vehicles have a design speed below 60km/h, or dedicated lanes for small vehicles with a design speed above 60km/h, as well as urban road intersections and exit lanes for mixed traffic of large vehicles. Design conditions for 3.25 meters: Applicable to dedicated lanes for small vehicles on general urban roads or the minimum width for exit lanes of dedicated small vehicle lanes at reconstructed intersections.

Reasons for High Water Temperature in Baowei Cars

Introduction to the reasons for high water temperature in Baowei cars: Insufficient coolant: Prolonged water circulation during engine operation can gradually deplete the coolant in the engine's cooling system, leading to a shortage of water in the radiator. If the owner fails to promptly inspect and replenish the coolant, it can easily result in excessively high engine water temperature. Radiator leakage: Leakage can occur due to broken or improperly connected radiator hoses, which impedes water circulation. In severe cases, this can cause the engine to "boil over." Cooling fan malfunction: Damage to the cooling fan or short circuits in the wiring can cause the fan to operate improperly or at reduced speed. This prevents the engine's heat from dissipating effectively, naturally leading to an increase in engine water temperature. Thermostat failure: The thermostat controls the flow path of the coolant. If it becomes stuck or fails, the engine's large and small circulation cycles will be affected, preventing the effective dissipation of engine heat. Water pump failure: If the water pump malfunctions, the water responsible for conducting heat in the engine cannot circulate and renew in a timely manner. Consequently, the water temperature will rise rapidly after the engine starts, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate.

Does touching the line with mirrors in Subject 2 result in penalty points?

In the Subject 2 reverse parking test, touching the line with the mirrors (rearview mirrors) does not count as crossing the line. As long as the vehicle body and wheels do not touch the line, it is not considered crossing, and therefore no points are deducted. Below are specific techniques for the driving test Subject 2: 1. Slow speed: Maintaining a slow speed is the fundamental rule for practicing Subject 2. Ensure the vehicle does not stop, but try to keep the speed as slow as possible. The slower the speed, the more time you have to adjust each operation. 2. Adjust the rearview mirrors: After getting into the car, always adjust the rearview mirrors properly. This is particularly important for reverse parking and parallel parking. 3. Master the three-point alignment method: The three points are the driver's eyes, a reference point on the car, and a reference point on the ground. During Subject 2 operations, you must accurately identify and observe these points to ensure precise positioning. 4. Pay attention to the four corners of the car: The front corner of the car during reverse parking is prone to touching the outer line, while the rear corner is prone to touching the side lines of the parking space. The front corner during curve driving is prone to crossing the line. The front corner during a right-angle turn is prone to crossing the line. The front corner during parallel parking is prone to touching the outer line or the left front corner of the parking space, while the right rear corner is prone to touching the right line of the parking space. Therefore, always be mindful of the four corners and the outer boundary lines.

What to Do When the Car Won't Start Due to Being Too Cold?

Solutions for a car not starting when it's too cold include: cleaning carbon deposits, checking if the water temperature sensor is damaged, inspecting the battery, and addressing ignition system failures. Below are the specific solutions: 1. Clean carbon deposits. Carbon deposits can absorb an appropriate amount of fuel injection, affecting engine startup. The lower the engine temperature, the more fuel is needed for a cold start, and the more carbon deposits there are, the harder it is to start. Engine carbon deposits are typically found on the throttle valve, piston top, and valves. 2. Check if the water temperature sensor is damaged. For example, if the engine temperature is 5 degrees, but the water temperature sensor "tells" the computer the temperature is 20 degrees, the computer will inject fuel based on the 20-degree condition, leading to insufficient fuel injection and failure to start. 3. Inspect the battery. The method to determine is simple: turn on the headlights. If the headlights don't light up at all or are extremely dim, it indicates the battery is dead or the battery connection is poor. 4. Ignition system failure. It is recommended to replace the ignition coil and spark plugs, as an aging ignition coil or poor-performing spark plugs can result in insufficient ignition energy.
