The AUTO button on the car refers to the automatic mode of the air conditioner, window switch or automatic parking system. The following is the relevant content: AUTO on the window: After turning it on, as long as you press the window switch, the window can be closed automatically without pressing it for a long time. AUTO on the air conditioner: The AUTO button in the main control area of the car means automatic mode. This button is usually used on the car air conditioner, referring to the automatic air conditioner mode, which is different from the manual air conditioner mode. Autohold: The automatic parking system is generally located near the electronic handbrake button, and its function is to provide parking when the vehicle stops.

The AUTO button on the car refers to the automatic control function of the headlights. As a car enthusiast, I often tinker with such features. It means that the headlights can automatically turn on and off without manual operation, mainly relying on the ambient light sensor inside the car to detect the surrounding brightness. Once it gets dark or enters a low-light environment like a tunnel, the sensor triggers a signal, and the headlights automatically illuminate, greatly improving convenience and safety. I’ve experienced situations where I forgot to turn on the lights, but this feature helps avoid potential risks. It also extends the lifespan of the bulbs since less frequent switching reduces wear. Some models even integrate a rain sensor, which can automatically activate the wipers along with the lights when it rains. However, it’s important to keep the sensor area clean to avoid dust blocking its responsiveness. Overall, AUTO mode is a great assistant for smart vehicles and is worth utilizing in daily driving.

Brief Introduction to the Structure and Working Principle of a Clutch

Clutch working principle: It is located between the engine and the transmission, used to transfer the torque stored on the engine flywheel to the transmission, ensuring that the vehicle delivers appropriate driving force and torque to the drive wheels under different driving conditions. Clutch components: The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plates, and a power output shaft. Below are the relevant details: 1. Clutch working states: The clutch operates in three states: disengaged when the clutch pedal is pressed, fully engaged when the clutch pedal is not pressed, and partially engaged when the clutch pedal is partially pressed. 2. Clutch operation: When the vehicle starts, the driver presses the clutch pedal, which moves the pressure plate backward, separating it from the friction plate. At this point, the pressure plate and flywheel are not in contact, so there is no relative friction. During normal driving, the pressure plate is tightly pressed against the friction plate on the flywheel, creating maximum friction between them. The input and output shafts maintain relative static friction, rotating at the same speed. The third state is the partially engaged clutch, where the friction between the pressure plate and the friction plate is less than in the fully engaged state. Here, the pressure plate and the friction plate on the flywheel are in a state of sliding friction, with the flywheel rotating faster than the output shaft. This allows part of the power from the flywheel to be transferred to the transmission. In this state, the connection between the engine and the drive wheels is akin to a soft linkage.

Where are the starting and ending points of the Qing-Xin Expressway?

Qing-Xin Expressway starts in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, and ends in Xinhe County, Hebei Province. The total length of the Qing-Xin Expressway is 109 kilometers, passing through Chengyang, Jimo, and Pingdu, with 12 interchanges. It is also known as the Qing-Ping Expressway. The Qing-Ping Expressway is divided into two phases: the first phase runs from Xiazhuang in Chengyang to Dagu River in Jimo, and the second phase runs from the Nan Village Interchange in Pingdu to the Guojabu Hub Interchange in Xinhe, Pingdu. The Qing-Xin Expressway is an important connecting route of the national expressway network, serving as a branch of the Qing-Yin Expressway (G20). The Qing-Yin Expressway connects Qingdao City in Shandong Province with Yinchuan City in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, spanning a total of 1,610 kilometers with six lanes in both directions (eight lanes in the Jinan-Qingdao section). The Qing-Yin Expressway starts in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, and passes through cities such as Weifang, Zibo, Jinan, and Dezhou in Shandong Province; Xingtai and Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province; Yangquan and Taiyuan in Shanxi Province; Yulin in Shaanxi Province; and Wuzhong City in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, ending in Yinchuan City, Ningxia.

Is it true that you should never perform a transmission reset procedure?

It is incorrect to say that you should never perform a transmission reset procedure. After a transmission reset, issues such as increased fuel consumption and gear shift jerks may occur, but these will improve over time as the transmission's computer has a learning function. There are three common types of automatic transmissions found in vehicles: dual-clutch transmissions, conventional transmissions, and CVT transmissions. A transmission is a mechanical or hydraulic device that converts mechanical power, enabling operations such as starting, idling, low or high-speed driving, acceleration, deceleration, climbing, and reversing. This requires the vehicle's driving force and speed to vary over a considerable range. Currently, widely used piston engines have a relatively narrow range of output torque and speed variations. To adapt to frequently changing driving conditions and ensure the engine operates under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption), a transmission is installed in the drivetrain.

How is the free highway time calculated, and what if you enter in advance?

Highway toll-free periods are mostly calculated from 0:00 on the start day of the holiday to 24:00 on the end day. If you enter the highway during the toll period and exit during the free period, no toll will be charged; if you enter in advance and exit before the free period starts, the normal toll will apply. According to relevant regulations, highway toll exemption is not calculated based on the time of entry but on the time of exit. A highway refers to a road that can accommodate an annual average daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 small passenger vehicles, is exclusively for high-speed divided-lane driving, and has full access control. Highways can accommodate speeds of 120 kilometers per hour or higher, with road widths of four (or more) lanes.

What happens if a new car directly runs on the highway for 13 hours?

If a new car directly runs on the highway for 13 hours, the engine will operate at high speeds with significant mechanical wear. The first batch of engine oil typically contains more metal shavings and impurities. Using this oil with a large amount of debris for high-speed driving will greatly increase engine wear and may even cause abnormal damage. New cars require a break-in period, and prolonged high-speed driving is not recommended. However, modern car manufacturing processes are highly refined, and new cars undergo "cold break-in" before leaving the factory, where the engine is run on a specialized test stand. It is advised not to keep the new car in a single gear for extended periods on the highway. Instead, change the speed and gear every few minutes to allow all gears to break in evenly and prevent excessive wear on any single gear.
