8AT refers to an automatic transmission, specifically an automatic gearbox with 8 forward gears, where AT stands for automatic transmission. Automatic transmissions offer advantages such as ease of operation, comfortable driving, and reduced driver fatigue. An automatic transmission consists of a torque converter, planetary gear transmission, and control mechanism. Driving an automatic vehicle primarily requires the use of the parking gear (P), reverse gear (R), neutral gear (N), and drive gear (D), which are sufficient for normal driving needs. However, in certain special driving conditions, other functional gears may be necessary. The principle of an automatic transmission is that the engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a critical factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions.

What are the penalties for not wearing a seat belt while driving?

The penalties for not wearing a seat belt while driving are: 1. When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted; 2. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed without point deduction; 3. When driving on highways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted; 4. When a vehicle is traveling on a highway, if a passenger fails to fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. The function of a car seat belt is to instantly tighten and secure the loosely worn belt when the vehicle collides or emergency braking is applied, firmly restraining the occupant in the seat to prevent secondary collisions.

What problems can a faulty throttle body cause in a car?

A faulty throttle body can cause the following problems in a car: unstable engine idle speed, persistently high idle speed, difficulty in engine starting, unstable engine idle speed, and no idle speed. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which burns to produce power. It is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is referred to as the throat of the car engine. There are two types of throttle bodies: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle body. In traditional engines, the throttle body operates through a cable or linkage, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle body primarily uses a throttle position sensor to control the throttle opening angle based on the engine's required power, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

Does picking up the car require the injured party's consent?

Picking up the car does not necessarily require the injured party's consent, depending on two scenarios: 1. If both parties reach an agreement on the accident details, liability division, and compensation, and sign a settlement agreement, the car can be picked up; 2. If both parties cannot reach an agreement, the traffic police should issue an accident liability determination within 10 working days. The car can be picked up on the third day after receiving the determination document, without requiring the injured party's signature. During the accident investigation period, the vehicle must undergo inspections, such as speed, collision marks, and brake functionality, which play a crucial role in determining liability. Article 39 of the Road Traffic Accident Handling Procedures stipulates that for evidence collection purposes, the traffic management department of the public security authority may detain the accident vehicle and issue an administrative compulsory measures certificate. The detained vehicle must be properly stored, and goods carried by the accident vehicle must not be detained.

What is the best mileage for a car during the break-in period?

The best mileage for a car during the break-in period is between 1,000 kilometers and 3,000 kilometers. The break-in period refers to the initial driving distance after a new car leaves the factory, during which the engine components are allowed to wear in smoothly. After the break-in period, the mating surfaces between various parts will become smoother, the fit between components will be tighter, and the car will become more powerful, fuel-efficient, quieter, and more agile. Precautions for driving a new car during the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking, as it not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. Do not perform emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. 2. Do not drive at high speeds. There are speed limits for new cars during the break-in period: domestic cars should stay between 40 km/h and 70 km/h, while imported cars should not exceed 1,000 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. Also, monitor the engine tachometer and speedometer to ensure the engine speed and vehicle speed operate at medium levels. During the break-in period, the engine speed should be between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.

What content is captured by traffic violation cameras?

The content captured by traffic violation cameras includes: motor vehicles running red lights, driving not in accordance with the designated lane, driving in the opposite direction, violating the instructions of prohibited markings, making U-turns or left turns at locations marked with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, drivers not wearing seat belts as required, motor vehicles illegally using dedicated lanes, large trucks entering prohibited areas, and other traffic violations. Driving precautions: 1. When approaching signalized intersections, slow down and maintain a safe braking distance, especially when the yellow light is flashing—do not accelerate to rush through; 2. When motor vehicles pass through signal-controlled intersections with designated lanes, they must enter the appropriate lane according to the intended direction of travel. Do not drive straight in a turning lane or turn in a straight lane; 3. Before entering an intersection, pay attention to the road signs and lane direction signs set up at the intersection, plan your route reasonably, and avoid crossing single or double solid lines at the intersection.
