An automotive transmission is a set of speed-changing devices with the following functions: 1. Coordinating the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels. By altering the gear ratio, the transmission adjusts the vehicle's speed and the torque delivered to the drive wheels, ensuring the engine operates under optimal conditions. 2. Maximizing engine performance. During vehicle operation, the transmission creates varying speed ratios between the engine and wheels. It can disengage power output when the clutch is engaged or when placed in neutral gear, allowing drivers to leave their seats without shutting off the engine. This power interruption function is also essential during engine startup, gear shifting, or when stopping the vehicle.

What to do if the Volkswagen Golf's flip emblem won't open the trunk?

Here are the solutions for when the Volkswagen Golf's flip emblem won't open the trunk: 1. Not in a locked state: Ensure the trunk is actually in a locked state. If it's not locked, using the key to unlock it won't have any effect. 2. Locked state: Make sure the car doors are indeed locked. Try using the key multiple times, as the trunk door might not be properly engaged, which can also cause the key unlocking to fail. 3. Automatic lock is already open: If the automatic lock is open but the trunk door still won't open, you need to manually release the manual lock. Use both hands to locate the manual lock position, press it down, and then try unlocking with the key again to see if the manual lock engages with the opening mechanism.

Is Overtaking Allowed on Curves?

Overtaking is not allowed on curves. The reasons are as follows: 1. Danger: When overtaking on a curve, first, the speed must be high, and second, a lane change is required. High speed may make it difficult to navigate the turn, and changing lanes increases the risk of a head-on collision with oncoming vehicles because the view is completely blocked by the vehicle in front during the overtaking process. Both of these factors pose serious risks to life and property safety. 2. Violation: Article 43 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that when motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking. Overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: (4) When passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic where overtaking conditions are not met.

What should be paid attention to in the daily driving of an automatic transmission car?

The following are the precautions for the daily driving of an automatic transmission car: 1. Starting and parking: An automatic transmission car can only be started in P or N gear, so before ignition, make sure the gear is in P or N. 2. Stopping at a red light: If the waiting time is very short, there is no need to shift gears, just step on the brake. If the waiting time is longer, it is recommended to shift to N gear and pull the handbrake. There was a saying that you can shift to P gear if the red light is long, but in fact, if you shift to P gear while waiting for the red light, a sudden rear-end collision will completely damage the transmission, and at the very least, it will crack. 3. Parking and starting on a slope: Parking directly in P gear on a slope will impact the transmission. It is recommended to shift to N gear first and then to P gear. For starting on a slope, to prevent the car from rolling back, the method is to start in D gear and release the handbrake.
