Manual transmission MT refers to a manual gearbox that requires manual operation of the gear lever to control the meshing positions of gears inside the transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Changing the transmission ratio; 2. Expanding the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. Enabling the vehicle to reverse; 4. Facilitating gear shifting or power output. Maintenance methods for the transmission: 1. Regularly check the oil level; 2. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting; 3. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 4. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 5. Avoid gear grinding when shifting. A manual transmission consists of the gear transmission mechanism, transmission housing, and control mechanism. Most manual transmissions in vehicles are four-speed or five-speed stepped gear transmissions.

What does the M gear in a car mean?

The M gear in a car refers to the manual mode of an automatic transmission with manual shift capability. The method of using the M gear is as follows: 1. Shift the gear lever to the manual mode (M gear). When switching to manual mode, there is no need to press the brake or release the accelerator. 2. In the M gear position, you can shift up or down as needed. Operation of the automatic transmission with manual shift capability: 1. D is the drive gear, used for normal road driving. 2. R is the reverse gear, which can only be engaged after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. P is the parking gear, used when the car is stationary and should be engaged along with the handbrake. 4. L is the low gear, which provides greater power output. 5. N is the neutral gear, used when the car is temporarily stopped. 6. W is the winter/snow gear, used for driving on slippery or snowy surfaces. 7. E is the economy gear, used for driving on flat and smooth roads. 8. S is the sport gear, used for driving on highways.

Must the ETC be handled by the vehicle owner personally?

It is not necessary for the vehicle owner to handle the ETC personally. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) on Highways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and a copy of the vehicle's driving license, and the page of the driving license with the most recent annual inspection stamp are required. If handling on behalf of someone else, the original valid ID card of the agent is also required. If applying for ETC through the business halls of major banks, a debit card or credit card from the corresponding bank must be prepared. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a certain amount of funds as a deposit when binding ETC with a debit card. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original driving license of the vehicle; Vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. ETC charging principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the highway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank in the background, achieving the purpose of paying tolls without stopping at the toll station. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and environmentally friendly: Green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through the toll station without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs, reduces the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, and lowers wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can be increased by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban agglomerations will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be significantly increased." It also explicitly set the goal in the main indicators of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for comprehensive transportation development that "by 2020, the ETC usage rate of road passenger vehicles will reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore the deep integration of the ETC system with the development directions of smart transportation such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatically sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to charging failure. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was handled or the highway service hall for testing. If the loosening or detachment is not man-made, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also lead to charging failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card swiping to pass. Poor sensing due to excessive thickness of the car windshield. Especially for vehicles that have been repaired after an accident and had the windshield replaced, or friends who have modified the front windshield need to pay attention.

How Does the Factory-Installed Tire Pressure Monitoring System Work?

Factory-installed tire pressure monitoring systems operate in two ways: Direct tire pressure monitoring works by using pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the air pressure. A wireless transmitter then sends the pressure data from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which displays the pressure readings for each tire. The system will automatically alert the driver if tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring works by detecting when a tire's pressure drops, causing the vehicle's weight to make that tire's rolling radius smaller, which in turn makes it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system can monitor tire pressure.

What does it mean when the tire pressure monitoring system alerts an abnormality?

Tire pressure monitoring system alerting an abnormality indicates that the air pressure in the four tires is outside the normal range. The tire pressure warning will be triggered if the tires are underinflated due to slow leaks or punctures, or if the tire pressure is too high. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are: 1. To prevent accidents; 2. To extend the service life of the tires; 3. To reduce wear on the suspension system. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time while the car is in motion and alerts the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. The working principle of the tire pressure monitoring system is: an internal sensor is installed on the tire hub, which includes a bridge-type electronic pressure sensing device that detects air pressure, converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, and transmits the signal via a wireless transmitter.
