Transmission failure may be caused by faults in the power electronic control system; faulty wiring of a transmission sensor; insufficient automatic transmission fluid; overheating of the automatic transmission; or failure to increase speed due to a slipping one-way clutch, among other reasons. Below are the functions of the transmission: Changing the gear ratio: To meet the traction requirements under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate as much as possible under favorable conditions and meeting the required driving speeds. Enabling reverse driving: To meet the need for the vehicle to move backward. The engine crankshaft generally only rotates in one direction, but the vehicle sometimes needs to move in reverse. Therefore, the reverse gear in the transmission is used to enable the vehicle to move backward. Interrupting power transmission: To interrupt power transmission to the drive wheels during engine startup, idle operation, gear shifting, or when stopping for power output. Enabling neutral gear: When the clutch is engaged, the transmission may not output power. For example, this ensures that the driver can release the clutch pedal and leave the driver's seat without the engine stalling.

What to Do If Failing the Vision Test for Driver's License Renewal?

Failing the vision test for driver's license renewal means you cannot renew your license. You need to correct your vision and pass the medical examination before renewal. The vision standard for driver's license renewal is that the naked or corrected vision of both eyes must reach at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driving license, which is a document issued by the government transportation department to individuals who qualify to drive, usually in the form of a card. To obtain a driver's license, one must meet the age requirements and pass the driving test. The driver's license typically specifies the types of motor vehicles the holder is allowed to drive, such as motorcycles, passenger cars, trucks, and buses.

What does the circle a button on the car mean?

The circle a button on the car refers to the auto-hold function, which is an extension of the electronic parking brake. Controlled by the ESP component, it manages the braking of all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from sliding. To activate it, simply press the button after starting the vehicle. The auto-hold function uses a slope sensor to provide precise parking force through the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

What does the circular arrow triangle exclamation mark warning light mean?

The circular arrow triangle exclamation mark warning light refers to the ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) traction control warning light. When the ASR system is active, this indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. Once ASR intervention is no longer needed, the light will turn off. If the ASR indicator light remains on for an extended period, it may indicate that the system has been manually deactivated, in which case the system will not function normally and the ASR light will stay lit. The purpose of ASR is to automatically intervene when tire slippage occurs during driving, while also limiting the engine's power output to ensure the tires maintain optimal grip. This system activates automatically when the vehicle starts and comes into play when encountering slippery road surfaces or situations where strong traction causes tire slippage.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise of Air Conditioning Compressor?

There are many reasons for the failure of the car air conditioning compressor, such as compressor jamming, bearing damage, lack of lubricating oil, etc., which can all lead to abnormal noise from the air conditioning compressor. Generally, when these faults occur, it is not recommended to solve them by yourself. It is advisable to go to an auto repair shop for inspection. More details are as follows: 1. During the working process of the air conditioning compressor, compressor jamming is a common phenomenon. The main reason for jamming is poor lubrication. When there is a frequent lack of lubricating oil, it needs to be taken seriously because it may cause severe abnormal noise inside the compressor and even lead to wear and scrapping of the compressor. In such cases, it is necessary to check whether the clutch is slipping or if there is an issue with the transmission belt. 2. The compressor often operates under high load, shifting from low speed to high speed, so the requirements for the electromagnetic clutch are very high. Moreover, the installation position of the electromagnetic clutch is generally close to the ground and often exposed to rain and mud. When the bearing inside the electromagnetic clutch is damaged, abnormal noise will occur. At this time, it is necessary to check the air conditioning belt, whether the installation screws are loose, whether the belt is oily, and whether the belt is worn. If there is a problem with the electromagnetic clutch, only the electromagnetic clutch needs to be replaced, and the entire clutch assembly does not need to be replaced. 3. The compressor requires reliable lubrication during operation. When the compressor lacks lubricating oil or the lubricating oil is used improperly, severe abnormal noise will occur inside the compressor, and it may even cause wear and scrapping of the compressor. It is recommended to report for repair in time, otherwise the noise will become increasingly louder.
