Automatic transmission shifting jerkiness may be caused by: transmission clutch pressure leakage; transmission oil circuit blockage or poor flow; transmission fluid not filled to standard; or solenoid valve damage. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. Below is relevant information: 1. Solenoid valve damage: If sludge in the transmission fluid circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can cause shifting jerkiness. Over time, this can lead to transmission overheating, impact, slippage, and other transmission issues. 2. Transmission fluid not filled to standard: Check whether the transmission fluid is filled to the correct level. Both insufficient and excessive transmission fluid can cause this issue. Vehicles with a transmission dipstick can check the fluid level against the standard markings when the engine is running.

The car brand with the Chinese character 'Tang' as its logo is the BYD Tang, which is a product of BYD. The BYD Tang is a mid-size SUV under the BYD brand, available in three different drive forms: fuel-powered vehicles (the all-new Tang), plug-in hybrid vehicles (the all-new Tang DM), and pure electric vehicles (the all-new Tang EV600). Among them, the fuel-powered and plug-in hybrid vehicles offer both five-seater and seven-seater versions. Additional information: 1. The all-new Tang is built based on BYD's newly developed BLP large luxury car platform, surpassing its peers in terms of chassis tuning, noise insulation, and safety body. The chassis tuning was personally overseen by master Hans, delivering a more comfortable and China-consumer-friendly driving experience. 2. The BYD Tang features an LCB high-rigidity lightweight safety body, library-level NVH quiet engineering, and has undergone rigorous testing including over 2 million kilometers of road tests. The all-new Tang stands as a benchmark in its class.

What to Do with the Green Powder on Car Battery Electrodes?

As the battery ages, sulfuric acid leakage becomes increasingly severe until the battery can no longer function properly. Copper sulfate and sulfuric acid can corrode the vehicle frame, so replacing the battery is the best solution to protect your car. While rinsing with boiling water and applying grease can provide temporary use, ultimately, the battery will need to be replaced.

What to Do If You Forget to Take the Card at the Highway Entrance?

If you forget to take the card at the highway entrance, it is recommended to immediately look for the nearest highway exit. Once you find an exit, exit the highway and explain the situation to the staff at the exit. If that doesn’t work, request to review the surveillance footage or pay a fee to be allowed to leave. Then, return to the original entrance to take the card and continue your journey. Here are some important considerations for driving on highways: 1. Be cautious when merging: When entering the fast lane from the ramp, pay attention to oncoming traffic from the left while gradually accelerating. Ensure there is enough distance before merging and then accelerate. 2. Avoid occupying the passing lane: Try not to use the innermost lane, as it is reserved for overtaking. 3. Overtake from the left: Always overtake from the left side, as overtaking from the right is more dangerous. 4. Changing lanes: When changing lanes, check the rearview mirror, side mirror, and glance over your shoulder to assess the traffic in the target lane. Only merge when there is sufficient distance. 5. Use low beams at night: At night, use low beams whenever possible. Avoid using high beams, especially when there is oncoming traffic, as it can temporarily blind the other driver. 6. Prepare for exits in advance: Plan ahead and pay attention to exit signs. Merge into the exit lane early to avoid last-minute, dangerous maneuvers near the exit where you might not have time to check for oncoming traffic.

Can Scratches on Headlight Covers Be Polished?

Minor scratches on headlight covers can be polished, but severe ones cannot and require replacement. The primary functions of headlight covers are to block strong light, preventing direct glare into human eyes that may cause dizziness; to protect against dust and oil fumes, thereby extending the bulb's lifespan; and to serve a decorative purpose. Below is an introduction to the functions of various car lights: 1. Headlights: Headlights have two modes—high beam and low beam. Use low beam on urban roads with streetlights and high beam on unlit roads or highways. When meeting another vehicle, switch from high beam to low beam. 2. Turn signals: Turn signals are the most commonly used indicator lights, activated when the vehicle needs to turn. Note that turn signals should be turned on about 30 to 100 meters before reaching the intersection, not just as you arrive, to avoid rear-end collisions due to sudden braking by trailing vehicles. 3. Taillights (brake lights): When brake lights illuminate, they alert following vehicles that you are braking, prompting them to slow down. Upon seeing the taillights of the vehicle ahead light up, prepare to decelerate. 4. Hazard warning lights (double flashing): Used in emergencies such as temporary stops due to vehicle malfunctions or in poor visibility conditions like severe weather. Hazard lights are crucial for driving safety, so regularly check if they are functioning properly.

Is it possible to change from 265 to 285 tires without changing the rims?

It is possible to change from 265 to 285 tires without changing the rims. However, certain adjustments need to be made to the vehicle's height and parameters, as the effects of the change may vary depending on the type of vehicle. Additionally, after changing the tires, it is necessary to keep the transmission unchanged and ensure the accuracy of the odometer reading to guarantee that the anti-lock braking system (ABS) functions properly post-change. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road, enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering by transferring driving force, braking force, and steering force. 2. Supporting the vehicle's load. The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent early damage to vehicle components caused by severe shocks. At the same time, tires adapt to high-speed driving conditions, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel efficiency.

How to Apply Car Heat Insulation Film?

First, wash the car thoroughly to remove dust, then place it in a clean, dust-free area to prepare for film application. Cut the film according to the measured dimensions. Spray water on the completely cleaned car window to prepare for film application. Apply the wet film surface to the car window, leaving a 5-10mm gap from the top of the glass to secure it in place. Finally, use a towel to clean any water remaining at the edges of the glass.
