The installation steps for a timing belt are: 1. Place the toothed belt over the crankshaft and intermediate shaft toothed pulleys, then install the crankshaft pulley; 2. Align the mark on the camshaft toothed pulley with the valve cover, and align the top dead center mark on the crankshaft pulley with the mark on the intermediate shaft toothed pulley; 3. Place the toothed belt over the camshaft toothed pulley; 4. Tighten the fixing nut of the tensioner pulley, rotate the crankshaft two turns, and then recheck and adjust as needed. The timing belt is an essential component of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing by connecting to the crankshaft with a specific transmission ratio. The use of a belt instead of gears for transmission is due to the belt's lower noise, minimal self-variation, and ease of compensation.

Are Buses Manual or Automatic Transmission?

Buses are manual transmission. Here are the reasons: 1. High purchase cost: The price of automatic transmissions for commercial vehicles is very high. Domestically, there is basically no development of commercial automatic transmissions, which are mostly imported. The price of an imported commercial transmission can account for more than one-third of the price of a domestic commercial vehicle. Moreover, the domestic business environment aims to achieve high profits through overloaded transportation at the lowest cost. 2. High operating cost: Automatic transmissions rely on fluid to transfer energy, and since fluid is the medium for energy transfer, the consumption is higher. Correspondingly, fuel consumption is slightly higher. Manual transmissions rely on gears to transfer energy, and energy is lost in the friction between gears, so the consumption is lower. 3. Relatively low labor costs in China: Automatic transmissions can reduce driver fatigue. In developed countries, the cost of bus drivers is high, and the demand for work comfort is relatively higher. Automatic transmissions are one of the means for bus companies to retain drivers.

Where is the key sensing area of the Trumpchi GS4?

The key sensing area of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 is located at the ignition switch. Below is relevant information: 1. Remote transmitter location: The remote transmitter and battery are integrated into the remote key, and the wireless receiver is installed inside the vehicle. 2. Range of operation: When the battery is fully charged, the remote key operates effectively within a range of several meters. However, if there are obstacles between the car and the remote key, under harsh weather conditions, or when the battery is low, the operational range will be reduced. Additional information: The Trumpchi GS4 features a dignified and elegant exterior design. Unlike the typical bold northern style of the Haval H6 series, the GS4's design embodies the refined characteristics of the south. To personify it, the GS4 has a "delicate makeup," which differs slightly from the rugged and unrestrained style of the north.

Will driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone be caught by speed cameras?

Driving at 67 in a 60 speed limit zone is considered speeding and may be captured by speed cameras. Below is relevant information about speeding: 1. Introduction: Speeding refers to a driver operating a vehicle at a speed exceeding the legal or regulatory speed limit. Turbine overspeed accidents are major catastrophic incidents caused by failures in the speed regulation and protection systems or inherent defects in the turbine itself. 2. Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a vehicle's speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, the driver will receive a warning. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% results in a 50 yuan fine and 3 penalty points on the driver's license. Exceeding by 20% to less than 50% incurs a 100 yuan fine and 6 penalty points. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more leads to 12 penalty points and a fine ranging from 500 to 2000 yuan.

How long can you park at a bus stop before getting photographed?

Parking within 30 meters of a bus stop sign is prohibited unless it is for legitimate bus use, otherwise you will be penalized. You will be photographed and fined even if you park for just a few minutes. According to regulations, a fine is required, and if the road is a no-parking zone, you may also receive a 3-point penalty. Below are temporary parking precautions: 1. Never park in areas with no-parking signs or markings. 2. On roadsides where temporary parking is allowed, stopping for 2 to 3 minutes to let passengers on or off is acceptable. However, the driver must not leave the vehicle—even if the engine is running, it will be considered illegal parking. 3. In temporary parking spaces without time limits, you can generally stay for about 5 minutes. If there are time restrictions, be sure to follow the rules. 4. You can temporarily park in areas with yellow dashed lines, but not for extended periods—it’s best to stay within 5 minutes.

How to Operate the Electronic Parking Brake in a Car?

There is a button near the gear lever, which offers two modes: manual and auto parking. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads.
