The 8AT transmission in the Avalon is manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and production of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin holds the highest global market share. The Avalon 8AT transmission utilizes CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears), 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and E-CVT continuously variable transmission. A continuously variable transmission does not have specific gear positions. It operates similarly to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes differ from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission—it is continuous, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For daily use of the Avalon 8AT transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between fluid changes can damage internal bearings, housings, and other components of the transmission. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause overheating. Additionally, shifting back into Drive (D) may result in a noticeable jolt. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for "smooth" operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or upshift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck, with the vehicle shifted into Neutral (N) and loaded onto the tow platform. Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.

Is it not allowed to press the clutch during curve driving?

You can press the clutch during curve driving in Subject 2, but you should not press it for a long time. Curve Driving: Curve driving is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's test, commonly known as the S-curve. The test requires the vehicle to drive on an S-shaped road of a specified width without pressing the edge lines, and the steering should be used smoothly. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The C1 test items include five compulsory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). The C2 test items include four compulsory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve).

Will exceeding exhaust emissions result in penalty points?

Exceeding exhaust emissions typically does not result in penalty points but rather fines. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Drivers of motor vehicles who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules shall be given a warning or fined. If there are other provisions in this Law, penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. Violation: Excessive electronic exhaust emissions are also considered a violation. To implement the provisions of Article 113 of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau has added a traffic violation code for 'driving a motor vehicle with unqualified emissions on the road,' with the penalty code 6063. Therefore, if a vehicle is detected with excessive emissions by electronic monitoring on the road, the owner must address the issue. Precautions: For vehicle owners with excessive exhaust emissions, the primary cause is often the use of low-quality fuel, which does not burn completely, leading to higher levels of harmful components in the emissions. Owners are advised to refuel at reputable gas stations. Additionally, severe carbon buildup in the vehicle's engine could be another reason, and owners should consider cleaning at a repair shop. If the catalytic converter or oxygen sensor is faulty, timely repair or replacement is necessary.

Does Lamborghini Have Automatic Transmission?

"Lamborghini offers both manual and automatic transmissions. Newer models feature automatic transmissions, while older ones come with manual transmissions. Lamborghini uses paddle shifters instead of a traditional gear lever for shifting. To shift gears, simply use the plus/minus paddles located on either side of the steering wheel while braking. Press the brake, use the paddle shifter to upshift, release the brake, and the car will start. For reverse, simply press the R button on the left side of the steering wheel or on the center console. To park, pull both paddle shifters simultaneously to shift into neutral. Differences between manual and automatic transmissions in Lamborghini: Operation difficulty: Automatic transmissions do not require clutch engagement or frequent gear changes, making them easier to operate. Manual transmissions require the driver to press the clutch to change gears, demanding stricter driving skills. Working principle: Automatic transmissions use a computer to control hydraulic oil pressure, which pushes pistons to shift gears based on throttle position, speed, and throttle opening. Manual transmissions add a manually adjustable shifting mechanism to the original 100-speed automatic transmission, allowing the driver to manually control gear changes. Operation method: Automatic transmissions do not require manual gear changes; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and road conditions. Manual transmissions rely entirely on the driver's manual operation for gear changes."

What is the sequence of the C2 Subject 2 driving test?

The C2 Subject 2 driving test consists of 4 items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle. In some regions, there is an additional item for highway toll collection. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, the C2 test does not include the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess the hill start and stop. Introduction and tips for the Subject 2 test: Before starting the test, adjust the seat height and rearview mirrors to ensure a wide field of vision, and fasten the seat belt. During the test, do not stop unless the system announces a failure. Parallel parking: Park the car into the designated space without crossing or touching the lines. Tips: Find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the car's speed. Turning at a right angle: Prepare to turn 90 degrees while driving straight without crossing or touching the lines. Tips: Identify the reference point before turning and coordinate with the car's speed. Curve driving (S-curve): Drive slowly through the S-curve without crossing or touching the lines. Tips: Control the speed, slow down, and coordinate the timing of turning the car's front. Reversing into a parking space: Reverse the car into the parking space without stalling or crossing/touching the lines. Tips: Control the speed, find the reference point, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows deviation. Highway toll collection tips: Slow down when entering the toll station. There are two ways to collect the toll: manual toll collection, where a staff member hands the card to the driver, and self-service toll collection. In the manual toll lane, align the car properly. In the self-service lane, get as close as possible to the card dispenser. In both cases, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you fail the retest, the test ends, and you must reschedule the test after 10 days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retests, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must restart from Subject 1. Subject 2 penalty items: Reversing into a parking space: The car body crosses the line—100 points deducted, fail; fails to enter the parking space—100 points deducted, fail; stops midway—5 points deducted each time; fails to complete the test within the time limit—100 points deducted, fail. Parallel parking: The car body crosses the line after stopping—100 points deducted, fail; stops midway—5 points deducted each time; tires or car body touches the curb—10 points deducted; fails to complete the test within the time limit—100 points deducted, fail. Curve driving: Wheels cross the road edge line—fail; stops midway—fail; fails to use second gear or above—5 points deducted. Turning at a right angle: Wheels cross the road edge line—fail; stops midway—5 points deducted each time. After stopping, if the car body is 30-50 cm away from the road edge line—10 points deducted.
