Honda's 5AT transmission abnormal noise may be caused by bearing damage or long-term failure to change the transmission oil. Below are the specific explanations for the causes: Abnormal noise may be due to bearing damage: When bearings wear out, their clearance increases and their fitting accuracy decreases; when bearings are damaged, as they cannot operate normally, abnormal sounds will be produced, and even the transmission components in the gearbox may be damaged, leading to an expansion of the fault. Long-term failure to change the transmission oil: If the automatic transmission oil is not changed for a long time, the oil will become thick and its fluidity will be insufficient, resulting in no protective layer between components and direct friction. This will exacerbate the wear of mechanical parts, leading to abnormal noise.

Where is the seat adjustment located?

Car seat adjustment switches are generally located on the side of the seat. Seat adjustment switches are divided into manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. Although they look very different, their functions and principles are the same, only the control methods are changed. There are several principles for the best seat adjustment position: first, it should be comfortable to sit; second, the feet should be able to fully depress the clutch and brake pedals; third, when holding the steering wheel, the arms should be slightly bent. 1. Notes: Before adjusting the seat, the body should be pressed tightly against the seat to ensure that the hips and back are firmly against the seat, and there should be as little gap as possible between the body and the seat. This helps to avoid back injuries and improves comfort and stability during long drives. If the vehicle seat is equipped with features such as leg support and tilt angle adjustment, the primary focus should be on maximizing body contact and comfort. 2. Sitting posture: In fact, a well-adjusted sitting posture not only helps in controlling the vehicle but also ensures personal safety in critical moments. A seat back that is too upright, a seat position that is too far forward, too low, or a steering wheel that is too high are all unscientific.

How to Check the Production Date Through Car Windows?

There is a code in the lower left or lower right corner of the car window glass. The last or second-to-last row contains a number and several small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass. The number represents the production year of the glass, showing the last digit of the year, while the small black dots indicate the production month. Here are the details: 1. Month: If you carefully observe the glass of other vehicles, you will notice that some have the small black dots before the number, while others have them after the number. If the dots are before the number, subtract the number of dots from 7; if they are after the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. The result is the production month of the glass. 2. Week: Some glass may also have a few larger black dots following the production year and month, which specify the week of the month. For example, 5 dots represent the first week; 4 dots represent the second week; 3 dots represent the third week, and so on.

Can cruise control be installed by oneself?

It can be installed, but it should be noted that installing a cruise control system is not an ordinary accessory installation. Its installation may involve the engine control circuit, airbags, center console disassembly, and may even alter the original vehicle circuit and wiring layout. Therefore, it is not recommended to have it installed at external repair shops without authorization; it should be installed at a 4S shop. Below are the relevant details: 1. Advantages of the cruise control system: The cruise control system monitors the road conditions ahead via radar, accelerating or decelerating based on the number of vehicles, with the entire process overseen by a computer. Moreover, the cruise control system allows the driver to free their feet during driving. 2. Disadvantages of the cruise control system: The cruise control system also has certain drawbacks. It judges road conditions based on pre-set factory instructions, but the actual road conditions while driving are far more complex than imagined. The situations on the road cannot be simply judged by a few instructions. If the actual road conditions ahead do not match the computer's expectations, it can be very dangerous.

Can Temporary License Plates Be Used on Elevated Roads?

Temporary license plates can be used on urban elevated roads. According to relevant regulations, vehicles displaying a 'Temporary Vehicle License Plate' have the same access rights as other vehicles of the same type. Here are the relevant details: 1. Restrictions: Temporary license plates have time limits, usually 15 or 30 days, and location restrictions. If a vehicle is purchased locally but registered in another city, the temporary plate will specify the authorized route and can only be used within the designated cities. 2. Local Temporary License Plates: If you reside locally and plan to register the vehicle in the same city, the temporary plate is considered a local one, meaning it can only be used within that city and the vehicle cannot travel outside. 3. Invalidity Outside Local Area: If the vehicle travels outside the city, the temporary plate becomes invalid, and if discovered by traffic police, the vehicle will be treated as unlicensed. It is strongly recommended to register the vehicle at the DMV within the validity period specified on the temporary plate.
