In Chinese, 'automatic' refers to automation. In automotive terminology, this word specifically means an automatic transmission vehicle or a car with automatic gear shifting. An automatic transmission vehicle, commonly referred to as an automatic transmission car, has its core function in achieving automatic gear shifting. The automatic transmission utilizes planetary gear mechanisms to change gears, automatically adjusting based on the degree of throttle pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed via the accelerator pedal. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a critical factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Regardless of whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, more gears typically mean better fuel efficiency.

How to Check if ETC is Successfully Activated?

There are two ways to check whether the ETC has been activated: Simply insert the ETC card into the ETC electronic tag, and you can click to view after insertion. If the ETC card account balance is displayed, it means the activation is successful. When passing through the ETC lane, a beep sound indicates successful deduction, the barrier will automatically rise, and it can be used normally. The ETC installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check whether the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly turn on. The OLED screen will display "Sign Invalid, Please Insert Card," indicating the device is normal. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the protective film of the OBU back adhesive and stick it to the installation position. Press with your hand for 2-3 minutes to remove air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the front glass. The chip should be inserted into the OBU device. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses, decreases the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowers wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The efficiency of passing through ETC lanes can theoretically increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.

What are the differences between the Mercedes-Benz V260 and the Mercedes-Benz Vito?

Both the V260 and the Vito are MPV models under Fujian Mercedes-Benz. The main differences between the Mercedes-Benz V260 and the Mercedes-Benz Vito are as follows: 1. Wheel Braking System: The Vito features ventilated disc brakes for both front and rear brakes, with a foot-operated parking brake. The tire sizes are 235/55 R17 for both front and rear. The V260, on the other hand, has ventilated disc brakes for the front and regular disc brakes for the rear. Its parking brake differs from the Vito, utilizing an electronic parking brake system. The tire sizes are 245/50 R18 for both front and rear. 2. Driving Assistance Configurations: The V260 model is equipped with features such as driving mode switching, automatic parking, rearview camera, and adaptive cruise control, which are not available in the Vito model.

What speed can the Hornet 250 reach in first gear?

The Hornet 250 can reach over 60 in first gear and a bit over 100 in second gear. The Hornet is a high-revving machine, requiring up to 18,000 RPM in second gear to reach 100. The gear positions and starting method for the Hornet 250 are as follows: Gear positions of the Hornet 250: Currently, there are mainly two types of gear positions: the rotary gear and the sequential gear (international gear). The rotary gear cycles through 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international gear is 1-0-2-3-4-5 without cycling, with neutral located between first and second gear. Starting method for the Hornet 250: After starting the engine, engage first gear, slowly release the clutch lever while gently applying the throttle, coordinating both actions until a smooth start is achieved. Once the engine is started, it should be preheated for 3-5 minutes before moving. Engine preheating is an essential task, especially in low ambient temperatures, but avoid revving the throttle excessively to speed up the preheating process.

What is the urban fuel consumption of the Corolla?

Actual fuel consumption varies among different models. The following is an introduction to the actual urban fuel consumption of the Corolla: 1. Manual transmission: The urban fuel consumption of the Corolla with a manual transmission is 7.3L per 100 kilometers; 2. Automatic transmission: The urban fuel consumption of the Corolla with an automatic transmission is approximately 6.8L per 100 kilometers. Below is additional information on the Corolla's urban fuel consumption: 1. Urban fuel consumption: In urban areas, manual transmission models have higher fuel consumption than automatic transmission models, with an average urban fuel consumption of 7.8L per 100 kilometers. In suburban areas, fuel consumption can generally be maintained at around 5.1L; 2. Maintaining good driving habits: Good driving habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Idling consumes a significant amount of fuel, so minimize idle time. Rapid acceleration and hard pressing of the accelerator consume the most fuel; improper low-speed gear shifting does not truly save fuel, and prolonged driving in low gears can also increase fuel consumption. Frequent lane changes and curved driving will also increase fuel consumption.

Does Higher Speed Mean Better Fuel Efficiency?

Higher speed does not mean better fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance can reduce fuel consumption: Regular maintenance can reduce the failure rate of the car and also lower fuel consumption. Scheduled replacement of parts such as spark plugs, oil filters, brake fluid, radiator coolant, air filters, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid ensures the vehicle remains in optimal condition, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Avoid heavy acceleration: Heavy acceleration only shortens driving time by 4%, but increases fuel consumption by 37-40%. On typical urban roads, the speed is usually maintained at 50 km/h, with the engine speed around 2000-2500 rpm. On highways, speeds generally range from 90-110 km/h. For every 10 km/h increase in speed, fuel consumption increases by 10%. Avoid heavy acceleration, as engine speed is the biggest factor affecting fuel consumption.

Which button adjusts the temperature of the car air conditioner?

Temperature adjustment buttons are usually marked with a "thermometer" icon or have red and blue color indicators on both sides. Rotating the knob towards the red zone gradually increases the temperature. Below is relevant information: 1. Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system (air conditioning device) is used to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the vehicle cabin to optimal conditions, providing passengers with a comfortable environment and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates favorable working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Types of Air Conditioning: Based on the driving method, it can be divided into: Independent type (uses a dedicated engine to drive the compressor, offering large cooling capacity and stable operation, but with higher costs, larger size and weight, mostly used in large and medium-sized buses) and Non-independent type (the air conditioning compressor is driven by the car engine, with cooling performance significantly affected by the engine operation, resulting in poorer stability, mostly used in small buses and cars).
