Manual transmission and automatic transmission differ in the following aspects: 1. Different operation difficulty: Manual transmission mainly relies on the driver to press the clutch pedal to complete gear shifting operations. Automatic transmission mainly relies on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically complete gear shifting. 2. Different safety levels: The neutral gear in manual transmission vehicles causes loss of power, posing potential safety hazards during driving. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot use neutral gear while driving. 3. Different operation methods: Manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission and alter the gear ratio. Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

Why does the car fail to start due to steering system malfunction?

Steering system malfunction causing the car to fail to start may be due to a dead battery. Below is relevant information about automotive fault codes: 1. Meaning: Automotive fault codes are error codes generated by the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) after analyzing malfunctions. Common fault codes are usually caused by sensor failures or poor sensor performance. However, some mechanical faults cannot be detected by the ECU. The vehicle dashboard may display some basic fault indications, but these only represent a small portion. The main diagnostics still require specialized equipment—a code reader—to retrieve fault codes. There are various types of code readers, such as X-431 and KT300, but their working principles and the fault codes they read are essentially the same. 2. Classification: Fault codes are divided into current codes, history codes, and intermittent codes. Current codes are easy to detect, history codes refer to previously unresolved fault codes, while intermittent codes are not fixed.

Why does the speed detection light flash twice when not speeding?

That is a camera installed by the traffic police department, which takes a photo of the driver of every vehicle. Below is relevant information: There are three methods of speed detection on China's highways: Fixed camera speed detection: This means that only vehicles passing through areas with installed cameras are monitored for speed. If speeding is detected, the vehicle will be photographed and recorded. Section speed detection: This involves setting up a row of cameras at both ends of a highway section to photograph all passing vehicles. The average speed of each vehicle over the section is calculated based on license plate recognition. If the speed exceeds the limit, it will be recorded. Mobile speed detection: This refers to traffic officers using mobile speed detection devices (typically vehicles equipped with such devices or handheld speed guns) to randomly test vehicles on both sides of the road.

What are the effects of overfilling engine oil on the engine?

The effects of overfilling engine oil on the engine include: 1. Reduced engine power output; 2. Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe; 3. Piston ring seizure and fuel injector clogging; 4. Crankcase explosion; 5. Decreased lubrication performance. When there is too much oil, the rapid movement of the crankshaft and connecting rod big end can cause oil splashing, and a large amount of splashed oil can be forced into the combustion chamber to burn, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust pipe. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, plays roles in lubrication, reducing friction, assisting in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and damping vibrations, and is hailed as the blood of the car. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives.
