The transmission of the Haval H9 is a ZF 8AT transmission. The AT transmission shifts by using planetary gear mechanisms to change gears automatically based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed. The driver needs to operate the accelerator pedal to control the vehicle's speed. Transmission maintenance methods: 1. Replace the automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly check the fluid level; 4. Do not skip gears when upshifting; 5. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 6. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 7. Avoid gear grinding when shifting; 8. Clean the transmission; 9. Avoid starting and driving without warming up the vehicle; 10. Perform regular maintenance on the automatic transmission.

I have been driving the Haval H9 for a while, and its transmission is the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. This brand is internationally renowned, especially for its use in high-end SUVs and off-road vehicles. This transmission responds quickly, shifts smoothly without any jerking, reduces fuel consumption during high-speed driving, and provides stable and reliable power output during off-road driving. Haval chose ZF because of its excellent quality, durability, and perfect tuning with the engine. After driving it for over two years, I found that it performs exceptionally well both in urban and off-road conditions, and maintenance is not troublesome—just regular oil changes. Overall, it enhances the driving experience and is trustworthy.

Which Types of Tire Cracks Require Replacement?

Tires should be replaced immediately under the following circumstances: 1. 'New tires' stored for more than 5 years; 2. Tires with bulges; 3. Tires with tread patterns less than 1.6mm; 4. Generally, tires have a service life of 4 years or 80,000 kilometers, and replacement is recommended if either condition is exceeded. Below is an introduction to tire crack conditions: 1. Natural rubber aging causes cracks. Typically, after 4-5 years of use, some fine cracks may appear on tires. These cracks are referred to as 'weather checking.' Such tires become hard, produce loud noise, and start losing rubber properties, indicating they need replacement. 2. External impacts or scratches cause cracks. Usually resulting from traffic accidents or curb scratches while parking, tires with cracks that do not damage the cord layer can still be used, but those with cord layer damage require prompt replacement.

Can the car be driven if the warning light is on and the car is shaking?

As long as the warning light is on, it indicates that there is a problem with a certain component of the car. However, if the car can still move, it means the issue is not particularly severe, because if there were a very serious fault, a red warning light would illuminate. If the engine warning light is yellow, drive to the nearest repair station as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Additional information: 1. Poor idling is usually caused by issues with the intake system and fuel injection control system, and occasionally by mechanical faults in the engine. 2. Common causes of poor idling include: leaks in the intake system; malfunctioning of the cold start injector and temperature-time control switch; abnormal fuel supply pressure in the fuel injection system; poor fuel atomization due to injector faults; and ECU malfunctions.

Is It Necessary to Install Cruise Control?

Cruise control can be installed. Here are the precautions for using cruise control: No braking function: Cruise control does not have an automatic braking function, while adaptive cruise control is more intelligent and addresses this issue. However, full automation of electronic devices still requires gradual improvement, so it is recommended that drivers remain attentive to road conditions. Ending operation: When the driver presses the brake pedal, cruise control ends. The speed value is not cleared and can be restored to the previously set speed to continue cruising. Encountering heavy rain: In situations such as heavy rain or winding mountain roads, please turn off the cruise function and switch to cautious manual driving. Downhill sections: On downhill sections, the vehicle may coast faster. In this case, use the foot brake as necessary and consider turning off cruise control.

What does oil emulsification mean?

Oil emulsification refers to the phenomenon where the engine oil turns milky yellow or milky white, resembling yogurt in appearance, and may also have some bubbles. Here is relevant information: 1. Oil emulsification can indicate the presence of water in the car's engine. This is not related to the engine itself but is associated with the quality of the oil, weather conditions, and the engine's operating environment. If oil emulsification occurs, the oil must be replaced immediately, as emulsified oil loses its essential properties and cannot be used. 2. When replacing the oil, ensure the engine is cleaned beforehand. Clean the external air filter chamber, waste gas pipe, engine carburetor, and also inspect the exhaust joints. For internal engine cleaning, if possible, open the right cover to clean the engine oil sump. If this is not feasible, you can fill the engine with kerosene, start the engine, then shut it off, and repeat this process. The running time should not exceed 30 seconds. Then, replace the kerosene with fresh kerosene and repeat the process.

What to Do About Brake Disc Rust and Starting Noise?

There are two scenarios regarding brake disc rust: 1. Slight surface rust: This can typically be removed by applying continuous braking while driving, and no special treatment is necessary. Minor rust on the brake disc will naturally wear off during normal braking. However, if the rust is more severe, it may cause vibrations or shaking during braking, such as brake pad vibrations, steering wheel tremors, or body vibrations—provided it is safe and does not affect public traffic. While driving, lightly apply the brakes to allow the friction between the brake pads and the disc to "polish" the surface. 2. Severe brake disc rust: When rust is extensive, it can create an uneven brake disc surface, leading to noticeable shaking in the brake pedal, steering wheel, and vehicle body during braking. In such cases, removing the rust becomes difficult, and even if forcibly "polished," it may result in abnormal brake pad wear and persistent vibrations. Therefore, it is recommended to perform brake disc maintenance every two months to prevent excessive rust buildup.

Is a Fire Extinguisher Necessary in a Car?

Regulations stipulate that passenger vehicles with more than seven seats and large trucks must carry fire extinguishers, while there are no explicit requirements for small vehicles. The details are as follows: 1. Vehicles should be equipped with a compliant triangular warning sign. Medium-sized (and above) passenger vehicles and hazardous goods transport vehicles must be equipped with fire extinguishers and firefighting equipment that are within their validity period. The extinguishers should be securely installed and easily accessible. Violators will be given a warning or fined between 20-200 yuan. 2. There is no such mandatory requirement for private cars. However, during the annual vehicle inspection, a fire extinguisher must be placed inside the car; otherwise, the inspection will not pass. For safety reasons, it is advisable to carry one. For ordinary cars, the recommended types are a 1kg dry powder fire extinguisher or a 1L water-based fire extinguisher, as they are relatively easy to carry and secure in the vehicle.
