An automatic transmission consists of a torque converter and a gear-type automatic transmission. More information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. An automatic transmission is a device that can automatically shift gears based on engine speed, as opposed to a manual transmission. There are four common types of automatic transmissions in automobiles: hydraulic automatic transmission (referred to as AT), continuously variable transmission (referred to as CVT), automated manual transmission (referred to as AMT), and DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). 2. The core function of an automatic transmission is to achieve automatic gear shifting. Automatic gear shifting means that while the car is in motion, the driver operates the accelerator pedal as needed, and the automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions.

Where Should the Car Fire Extinguisher Be Placed?

The car fire extinguisher should be placed in a location near the driver's seat that is easy to access and retrieve, such as under the driver's or passenger's seat. The extinguisher should not be placed in the trunk, as firefighting requires quick action, and placing it in the trunk would significantly delay rescue time. The main types of car fire extinguishers available in the market include dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. How to use a fire extinguisher: 1. Bring the extinguisher to a spot near the fire, standing upwind of the fire; 2. Pull out the safety pin; 3.

What does sync mean in a car?

Sync in a car refers to the synchronization button of a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system. When the button light is on, the temperature from the air vents on both sides of the car is the same and adjusts synchronously. This means that when you adjust the temperature on one side, both vents will actually have the same temperature. When the air conditioning is turned on, simply setting different temperatures on both sides will automatically turn off the sync function. The so-called dual-zone automatic air conditioning refers to a system with two temperature zones, allowing independent temperature adjustments for the left and right sides of the front cabin. Cars equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning can meet the different temperature requirements of passengers in two different positions inside the car, with independent zones allowing for flexible adjustment between different temperature differences.

Which side should you overtake from?

Safe overtaking should be performed from the left side of the vehicle ahead by activating the left turn signal when road conditions permit. Before overtaking a vehicle traveling in the same direction ahead, it is essential to carefully observe the road conditions in front, especially the situation ahead of the vehicle being overtaken. Make a correct judgment on whether there are factors that may affect overtaking, accurately predict the required time and distance for overtaking, and ensure the safety and smoothness of the maneuver. When preparing to overtake, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, activate the left turn signal in advance, and sound the horn. At night, additionally switch between high and low beams to signal your intention. After confirming that the vehicle ahead yields and there is sufficient safe distance, overtake from its left side. During the overtaking process, continuously monitor the dynamics of the vehicle being overtaken, particularly changes in its turn signals and brake lights. Once a safe distance is established from the overtaken vehicle, activate the right turn signal and return to the original lane.

What does the small wrench on the car dashboard mean?

The small wrench that appears on the car dashboard is simply a maintenance indicator. The maintenance cycle of the vehicle is preset when the car leaves the factory, so the small wrench will appear every certain number of kilometers to remind the driver to perform timely maintenance. Typically, the maintenance cycle for a car is every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers, and the factory-set cycle is usually longer than 8,000 kilometers. Method to reset the small wrench indicator: 1. Insert the key, but do not turn it; 2. Press and hold the operating lever next to the odometer for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn the key to power on; 3. After another 5 to 10 seconds, start the car while continuing to hold the operating lever without releasing it. Generally, following these steps will clear the small wrench indicator. If it doesn't clear, repeat the same process a few more times.
