Dual-clutch refers to the Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), which has two sets of clutches working simultaneously. One set manages the odd-numbered gears, while the other manages the even-numbered gears. More information about automotive dual-clutch systems is as follows: 1. Dual-clutch differs from conventional automatic transmission systems, belonging to both manual and automatic transmissions. In addition to offering the flexibility of manual transmissions and the comfort of automatic transmissions, it also provides uninterrupted power output. 2. The dual-clutch automatic transmission is based on the manual transmission. Unlike manual transmissions, the two clutches in DCT are connected to two input shafts, and gear shifting and clutch operations are achieved through an integrated mechatronic module that combines electronic and hydraulic components.

When will the provincial boundary toll stations on highways be abolished?

Vehicles no longer need to stop and pay tolls at provincial boundary stations on highways, which can completely solve the congestion problem at provincial boundaries, significantly improve traffic efficiency, and reduce pollution emissions. The following is relevant information about highway toll collection: 1. The basis for calculating toll amounts: The payable toll amount for vehicles traveling on highways is calculated by multiplying the corresponding toll standard for different vehicles by their actual mileage. Vehicles eligible for relevant preferential policies will have corresponding discount amounts deducted during toll collection. 2. Highway ETC gantry system toll calculation: The toll amount for vehicles passing through a single ETC gantry is calculated based on its jurisdiction mileage and toll standard, and rounded to the nearest "cent" according to the "rounding" rule. After completing highway travel, the sum of toll amounts calculated by passing ETC gantries constitutes the payable toll amount. 3. Precise toll calculation for highway vehicles: After abolishing provincial boundary toll stations, both ETC and manual payment vehicles will be precisely charged according to actual travel paths. Among them, ETC vehicles are charged based on payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies, with transaction amounts rounded to the nearest "cent". MTC vehicles are charged based on the sum of payable amounts at passed ETC gantries and relevant preferential policies. When making manual payments at exit mixed lanes or manual toll lanes, transaction amounts are rounded to the nearest "yuan". If the total toll for a single trip is less than one yuan, it will be charged as one yuan.

Why Does the Reversing Camera Screen Turn Green?

The green screen issue in a reversing camera may be caused by faults in the camera's wiring, the camera itself, the screen, or the software. Try restarting the system to resolve the issue. If restarting doesn't work, it is recommended to seek repair services. There are several reasons why a reversing camera screen might turn green and display nothing. 1: Wiring issues with the reversing camera, such as aging or poor contact. 2: Damage to the reversing camera or connection problems. 3: Abnormalities in the reversing camera display screen or software inside the vehicle. If the reversing camera screen turns green, try restarting the system first. If the problem persists, it could be due to a faulty camera or wiring issues, in which case repair is necessary. If you cannot accurately diagnose the issue, it is advisable to contact your local 4S store for inspection and repair. Here is some information about reversing cameras: Introduction to Reversing Cameras: Reversing cameras, also known as parking assist systems, reversing visual systems, or vehicle monitoring systems, are widely used in various types of vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. Recommendations for Using Reversing Cameras: If you prefer a simple and aesthetically pleasing installation, a reversing camera alone will suffice. If you are used to checking the rearview mirror and want audible assistance while parking, a reversing radar would be the better choice. If you feel the need for dual protection and want both video and audio functions, opt for a visual reversing radar system.
