9AT transmission common issues include increased manufacturing costs due to the higher number of gears; more potential failure points due to its complex internal components; and reduced torque capacity resulting from compressed component sizes to fit the housing dimensions. Detailed information: The 9AT transmission has significantly more internal components due to the increased number of gears, requiring higher manufacturing and development standards which correspondingly raises costs. The complex internal structure creates more potential failure points, and the compressed component sizes to accommodate housing dimensions lead to reduced torque capacity. Additional information: 9AT transmission refers to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The "AT" stands for automatic transmission, while the number 9 indicates nine forward gears. As a core automotive component, the transmission significantly impacts vehicle performance, safety assurance, and stability across multiple requirements.

What are the consequences of water entering a motorcycle's air filter?

Water entering or severely wetting a motorcycle's air filter can cause the engine to fail to start. Attempting to start the engine may result in poor acceleration, a muffled sound, and insufficient fuel supply. If water enters the cylinder severely, it can lead to engine seizure, causing engine damage. Relevant information is as follows: Engine water ingress: Water entering a motorcycle's engine will directly mix with the engine oil, reducing its lubrication performance. If the motorcycle is left unused for an extended period, it may cause cylinder seizure or scoring. When the engine is off: When the engine is off, repeatedly stepping on the engine kick-start a few times can help drain any accumulated water in the cylinder through the exhaust pipe.

Do vehicles involved in accidents no longer qualify for exemption from inspection?

It depends on the specific circumstances. If it's a relatively minor traffic accident, the vehicle can still enjoy exemption from inspection. However, if the accident is severe, the vehicle will no longer qualify for exemption. The inspection exemption clauses clearly stipulate that vehicles involved in major accidents cannot enjoy exemption from inspection. For significant accidents, the vehicle must undergo testing on the inspection platform. Below are the relevant regulations: According to the document, all newly manufactured passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as other newly manufactured motor vehicles exempted from safety technical inspection as recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, no longer require safety technical inspection before registration. However, if registration is not applied for within two years of manufacture or if a traffic accident occurs before registration, safety technical inspection is still required.

What does REGEN mean in a car?

"REGEN in a car indicates that the energy recovery function is being executed. Below are specific details about the REGEN function: Meaning: REGEN indicates that the vehicle's energy recovery braking system is working during deceleration, coasting, or braking. Function: At this time, the motor operates as a generator, producing electricity to charge the battery. By simulating the action of an internal combustion engine, it can increase the vehicle's range and achieve a certain braking effect. Turning Off: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, press the green button on the right side of the handle (the P-gear button) and hold it down to turn off the energy recovery function."

Why does an electric car suddenly stop working in the rain?

The reason why an electric car suddenly stops working in the rain is that the controller power plug gets short-circuited due to water ingress or the controller speed limit plug gets short-circuited due to water ingress. Below is an introduction to related content: Service life: The battery temperature should be minimized as much as possible to ensure good heat dissipation and prevent charging immediately after exposure to intense sunlight. Exposure to sunlight will increase the battery temperature and enhance the activity of various active materials in the battery, affecting its service life. Low-temperature conditions: Conversely, under low-temperature conditions, the battery has poor charging acceptance and insufficient charging. In such cases, it is necessary to increase the charging voltage and extend the charging time, as well as take insulation and anti-freezing measures, which will help ensure sufficient charging and extend the battery's service life.

What is the maximum temperature of the engine casing?

The maximum temperature of the engine casing can reach 150-200°C, while the normal operating temperature is typically between 85-90°C. Methods to cool the engine casing: 1. Thermostat: The optimal working temperature for most car engines is around 90°C. When the temperature exceeds this, the thermostat automatically opens to allow water circulation. If the temperature rises above 90°C, the radiator's electric fan will start running to cool the engine. 2. Coolant: Coolant is used to regulate the engine's temperature. Whether the engine temperature is high or low, it affects the viscosity of the engine oil, which can lead to increased engine wear. Therefore, the cooling system is crucial.

How Long Can the Second Maintenance Be Delayed?

After the first maintenance of a new car, the second maintenance is usually scheduled at an interval of 5,000 kilometers, and it is best not to delay it. Below is detailed information: Introduction: Car maintenance involves regular preventive work such as inspection, cleaning, replenishment, lubrication, adjustment, or replacement of certain parts related to the vehicle. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Precautions: Before maintenance, fully understand whether the car has any other faults or issues and record them. When registering for the initial maintenance, inform the 4S shop of these areas that need to be checked.
