Automatic transmission and manual transmission differ in terms of price, gearbox, and driving operation. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Different car prices: For vehicles with the same model configuration, the price of automatic transmission models is higher than that of manual transmission models. 2. Different gearboxes: Automatic transmission cars use an automatic gearbox, while manual transmission cars use a manual gearbox. 3. Different driving methods: When driving an automatic transmission car, you only need to switch to the desired gear, such as shifting to drive mode without the need for manual gear shifting, as the gearbox shifts automatically. In contrast, manual transmission cars require manual gear shifting based on speed and RPM to switch to the appropriate gear. 4. Different clutch pedals: Automatic transmission gearboxes do not have a clutch pedal, while manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal. 5. Different gear markings: The gear markings for automatic transmission gearboxes are P, R, N, D, etc., while the gear markings for manual transmission gearboxes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, R, etc.

The reasons for the car tire pressure light to come on are: 1. The tire is punctured, the tire is punctured usually leads to very slow air leakage, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure, if the air is insufficient, you should fill it up; 2. The tire pressure is too high, when the tire pressure exceeds 3.0bar, the tire pressure monitoring light will be triggered; 3. Driving with low tire pressure for too long, the tire has not been inflated for a long time, when the pressure is lower than 1.8bar, it will cause the tire pressure monitoring light to come on; 4. The tire pressure sensor is faulty, you can use a detector to read the fault.

Can a puncture on the side of a tire be repaired?

Tire punctures on the side are not recommended for repair; it is advised to replace the tire with a new one. Tires should not be used under the following conditions: 1. If the tire is worn out and has tread wear indicators, these slightly raised indicators are located at the bottom of the tread grooves and are 1.6 millimeters in height; 2. If the tire is damaged from hitting curbs, falling into potholes, or being punctured by nails, it may be severely compromised. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improve traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the vehicle's weight. The critical role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized.

What to Do If a Car Is Parked for Half a Month Without Use?

If a car is parked for half a month without use, it is recommended to warm up the engine for 1 to 3 minutes after starting it. Not driving for half a month may lead to insufficient tire pressure. If the tire pressure is too low, it needs to be inflated immediately. If the car battery is old, leaving the car unused for half a month might cause the battery to drain. A dead battery will prevent the engine from starting. If the car is not used for an extended period, it is advisable to start the car every few days and drive a short distance. This can prevent flat spots on the tires and also lubricate the engine and transmission. If the car is left unused for a long time, the engine oil and transmission fluid will not circulate, which may cause rusting of some components in the engine and transmission.
