When the car is in D gear, the engine's power can be transmitted to the transmission, and the transmission can transfer the power to the wheels. However, with the brakes applied, the wheels cannot rotate, which results in the body shaking. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in automatic cars: 1. AT transmission: The most mature and widely used automatic transmission. The AT transmission can be referred to as a torque converter transmission, which connects to the engine via a torque converter. Inside the AT transmission, there are many planetary gears, and this type of transmission relies on these planetary gears to change speed and torque. 2. CVT transmission: A transmission with a relatively simple internal structure. This transmission only has two cone pulleys and a steel belt inside. The steel belt can move on the cone pulleys, allowing the transmission to change speed and torque. 3. Dual-clutch transmission: A product developed based on manual transmissions. This type of transmission simply adds an extra set of clutches and a shift control mechanism compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches in the dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency.

Last time I drove an automatic car, I encountered this situation. When I stepped on the brake in D gear, the car shook like it was dancing. After checking, I found that the throttle was too dirty, and carbon deposits blocked the airflow. Unstable engine idling can cause shaking, and it could also be due to aging spark plugs causing poor ignition. By the way, it's recommended to check the engine mounts—if they're aged or deformed, they can amplify the vibration. If you usually do the work yourself, start by disassembling and cleaning the throttle and replacing the spark plugs. You can buy the tools from Taobao. If that doesn’t help, check the transmission fluid color—if it’s black or has impurities, it’s time to change it to prevent excessive internal wear in the transmission, which can cause jerking. It’s best to perform regular maintenance to reduce such issues.

What are the causes of black smoke from diesel engines?

The causes of black smoke from diesel engines are as follows: 1. Clogged air filter: Restricted air intake is the most common issue. Excessive dust and particles in the air cause the filter element to accumulate dirt and debris, increasing intake resistance and leading to insufficient air supply. This also affects combustion efficiency. 2. Poor fuel quality and carbon deposits: If the diesel fuel added is of poor quality, carbon deposits will form after combustion of the air-fuel mixture. These deposits can obstruct the fuel system, leading to poor fuel supply, which may result in an overly rich mixture and the generation of black smoke. 3. Insufficient compression: Wear of valves, piston rings, or cylinder liners leads to inadequate compression pressure. The pressure and temperature at the end of compression fail to meet requirements, worsening fuel combustion conditions and making it easier to produce black smoke.

Is the first maintenance required within three months for a new car?

The first maintenance is normally scheduled at 6 months or after driving 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Below is a relevant introduction to the first maintenance of a car: 1. Engine system: Replace the engine oil and oil filter. Check if all lubricating fluids in the engine compartment are sufficient and if related components are loose. 2. Lighting system: Check if the lighting system is functioning properly. 3. Vehicle tires: Inspect for excessive wear on the tires. 4. Shock absorbers: Check for oil leaks in the shock absorbers. 5. Vehicle chassis: Examine the chassis for any scratches, damage, looseness, or rust issues.

How to Deal with High Fuel Consumption?

Here are the methods to address high fuel consumption in cars: 1. Replace tires promptly: When tires are severely worn, the tread becomes smooth, reducing friction. This makes the car more prone to slipping while driving, which increases fuel consumption. Car owners should be aware of the service life or recommended mileage for their tires and replace them promptly when noticeable slipping occurs. 2. Get timely inspections at a 4S shop: If the bearings or braking system malfunction, the tires may not work properly, leading to increased fuel consumption. Issues with bearings and brakes often manifest through symptoms such as unusual noises from the tires. In such cases, car owners should consider these possibilities and promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection.

Can an Automatic Transmission Be Parked in Neutral?

If waiting at a red light or temporarily stopping for just two or three minutes, you can shift into neutral, but you must keep your foot on the brake, and it's best to engage the handbrake. If you park the car and need to leave for an extended period, it is not recommended to leave it in neutral; it's better to shift into P (Park). Below is additional information: 1. The difference between P (Park) and neutral: At a red light, you can use P (Park) or neutral (N). If the car won't roll, you can use neutral. If parking for more than an hour, shift into P (Park). There is a difference between P (Park) and neutral. Neutral means the car is stationary, with the gear lever not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely disengaged from the drive wheels. In this state, the car has no braking force and relies on the handbrake for braking. Traditional handbrakes use a steel cable to pull a claw mechanism that restrains the rear wheels. 2. Parking in P (Park): The P (Park) position involves an internal pawl in the transmission, somewhat like a latch, to prevent the car from moving, which is different from neutral. Many modern cars won't allow the key to be removed or the car to be locked unless shifted into P (Park). Of course, if you prefer not to use P (Park) and would rather park in neutral with the handbrake engaged, as long as you can remove the key and lock the car, that is also acceptable.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ghost?

The Ghost is equipped with a 6.6T engine, available in two power output versions, with 0-100 km/h acceleration times of 4.9 seconds and 4.8 seconds respectively. Here is an introduction to the Ghost: 1. Exterior: The new car retains the design of the standard-wheelbase Ghost model, featuring the iconic Pantheon grille at the front with a vertical waterfall-style mesh, giving it a very imposing look. The headlight clusters on both sides adopt a futuristic new design, with C-shaped LED daytime running lights extending from the eyebrows, enhancing the car's technological appeal. The lower front fascia features a youthful bumper design with square contours on both sides, adorned with chrome trim. At the rear, the design is clean and simple, with circular taillights featuring intricate internal LED layouts and a prominent bumper. The rear also features hidden exhaust pipes, which is the most significant difference from the standard-wheelbase version. 2. Powertrain: The new car continues to be powered by a 6.75L twin-turbocharged V12 engine, delivering a maximum power output of 571 horsepower and a peak torque of 850 Nm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF and an all-wheel-drive system, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 249 km/h.

What Causes the Noise After Replacing Brake Pads?

There are many types of brake pads available now. It is recommended to replace them with original ones or materials with similar friction coefficients. Sometimes, brake pads that work well on one vehicle may not be suitable for another, which is due to the mismatch between the brake pads and the brake discs. The reasons for noise after replacing brake pads are as follows: 1. Excessive friction coefficient: This means the brake pads are too hard, causing them to act like they are cutting into the brake discs, resulting in a clunking sound or other noises, depending on the hardness match and braking force. 2. The stiffness of the brake pads is close to that of the brake discs: This can easily cause resonance, and the noise is generated by vibration, but it is not a clunking sound. 3. There are granular hard particles on the surface of the brake pads: These can cause a screeching sound when scraping against the brake discs.
