A torque converter consists of a pump impeller, turbine, and stator. It is installed between the engine and transmission, using hydraulic fluid as the working medium to transmit torque, vary torque, change speed, and act as a clutch. The working principle of a torque converter is: the pump impeller is driven by the engine to rotate, pushing the fluid to rotate around its axis along with the impeller, giving it a certain speed and pressure. The following are the characteristics of a torque converter: 1. According to the machine's driving resistance or operational resistance, the torque converter can automatically and continuously vary speed and torque within a certain range. 2. It extends the service life of the machine. 3. It improves the machine's passing performance and comfort.

Is the spare tire of the Lavida different from the normal tire?

The Lavida's tires only use 195mm narrow tires for the low-end configuration, which are the same as the spare tire. The mid-range Pinya and high-range Pinxuan models of the Lavida use 205mm wide tires, which are different from the spare tire. Differences between spare tires and normal tires in other cars: Most car manufacturers produce spare tires that are slightly smaller in size than normal tires. This helps reduce production costs for the manufacturers. Additionally, since spare tires are stored in the trunk for long periods, the rubber tends to age more severely. The difference in wear levels can make sudden braking more likely to cause skidding during driving. Different sizes of spare tires: Full-size spare tires can be used as new tires, while non-full-size spare tires can only be driven for about 100 kilometers at most, with a maximum speed not exceeding 40 mph. Therefore, non-full-size tires are only intended for emergency use.

What are the symptoms of unstable car idle speed?

The symptoms of unstable car idle speed include: 1. The tachometer fluctuates up and down when the engine is idling; 2. The engine shakes. The troubleshooting methods for unstable car idle speed are: 1. Check for air leaks in the intake pipe, PVC valve hose, and oil dipstick; 2. Check if the air filter element is too dirty; 3. Check if the cold start injector and temperature-time control switch are functioning properly. The causes of unstable car idle speed are: 1. Air, gasoline vapor, or exhaust gas entering the intake manifold, causing the mixture to be too rich or too lean; 2. Faulty ignition module, incorrect spark plug gap, spark plug electrode erosion or damage, excessive resistance in high-voltage wires; 3. Clogged fuel injectors, clogged fuel filter, clogged fuel pump screen, faulty fuel pressure regulator, clogged return fuel pipe, etc., leading to a mixture that is too rich or too lean.

What is the urban fuel consumption of the Alto?

Urban fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 5 liters, but this also depends on driving style. With fuel-efficient driving, it can be below 5 liters. As the car ages, fuel consumption tends to increase. A car with 100,000 kilometers on it typically consumes 0.4-0.6 liters more on average than a new car (depending on the vehicle's condition). Factors affecting fuel consumption: Engine displacement is one of the factors influencing fuel consumption. Generally, the larger the engine displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. Additionally, fuel consumption is affected by driving habits, road conditions, vehicle load, tire pressure, and weather conditions. Car shape also relates to fuel consumption: Generally, cars with sharper front ends have lower drag coefficients, making them relatively more fuel-efficient. It's worth noting that the currently popular wide front grille design is not conducive to fuel efficiency, though the larger grille increases air intake and reduces wind noise, thus improving comfort.

What is the load capacity of the Geely Vision trunk?

It is not recommended to load heavy objects exceeding 100kg in the Geely Vision trunk. Trunk load capacity: Generally, the designed load capacity of a car's trunk should not exceed 250 to 300kg. Sedans should not carry excessively heavy items as it can adversely affect the chassis and suspension system. Springs and shock absorbers are prone to fatigue and aging, and the chassis and frame may deform. Avoid loading to the point where the rear of the car sags; keeping within these limits should generally prevent issues. Precautions for storing items in the trunk: Flammable and explosive materials, which can pose safety hazards, should not be stored in the trunk. Do not use the trunk as a safe for valuables, as they may be easily lost. It is also best not to place pets in the trunk, as it is not ventilated when closed, which can lead to suffocation. Food and beverages should not be stored in the trunk for extended periods. While short-term storage is acceptable, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise during driving, accelerating food spoilage and producing odors that are difficult to eliminate.
