There are two terminals on the battery, where + represents the positive terminal and - represents the negative terminal. The service life of a new car battery can last at least two years. However, for used cars or stock vehicles, it is necessary to pay attention to this indicator light in advance. The car lights also illuminate during self-check and turn off after starting. Here are some related introductions about car batteries: 1. Introduction one: A car battery (Carbattery), also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Introduction two: Batteries are divided into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The commonly referred to battery is a lead-acid battery. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, which largely depends on the condition of the vehicle.

What Causes Excessive Transmission Temperature?

Reasons for high transmission temperature: 1. Clogged radiator grille; 2. Transmission clutch slipping, generating additional heat; 3. Insufficient flow in transmission cooling oil circuit; 4. Thermostat sticking. Solutions: 1. Clean the radiator; 2. Repair the torque converter; 3. Repair the valve body or replace the oil pump; 4. Replace the thermostat. Additional information: Generally, the active safety features already present in a vehicle's safety system can ensure safe and reliable operation during both normal road and off-road driving. When transmission fluid temperature reaches 115 degrees Celsius, the DTC will set and store information to assist technicians in analysis.

What is a C3 driver's license?

C3 is a low-speed truck driver's license, which allows driving low-speed trucks. Driving schools do not offer C3 license registration. If you need to take the C3 license test, you must bring all required documents to the vehicle management office to apply. The vehicle management office will arrange for an appropriate formal driving school for learning and examination. The examination process and content for the C3 license are similar to the common C1 license, generally consisting of theoretical knowledge and practical operation. The specific details are as follows: C1: Small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles, light and mini special-purpose vehicles, with a vehicle length of less than 6m and seating capacity of no more than 9 people. C2: Small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles and light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles, with a vehicle length of no more than 3.5m and engine cylinder total displacement of no more than 1 liter. C3: Low-speed cargo vehicles (formerly four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles, light cargo vehicles, with a vehicle length of less than 6m and total mass of less than 4500kg). C4: Three-wheeled vehicles (formerly three-wheeled agricultural transport vehicles, mini cargo vehicles - with a vehicle length of no more than 3.5m and total mass of no more than 1800kg). M: Wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles.

What is the working principle of a differential?

The working principle of a differential is: 1. Power input to the differential, where the driven bevel gear drives the rotation of the differential housing; 2. Power output from the differential, where two side gears are connected to the drive shafts (also known as half-shafts) on both sides, transmitting power to the wheels; 3. The rotation of the planetary gears refers to the rotation of the planetary gears around the planetary gear shaft; 4. The revolution of the planetary gears refers to the rotation of the planetary gears around the axis of the side gears. The automotive differential is a mechanism that allows the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right side gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. Its function is to enable the left and right wheels to roll at different speeds when the car is turning or driving on uneven roads, ensuring that both drive wheels perform pure rolling motion. The differential is designed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels.

What does ACC mean in a car?

In cars, ACC stands for Adaptive Cruise Control. The Adaptive Cruise Control system is an intelligent automatic control system developed from the existing cruise control technology. During vehicle operation, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects vehicle speed signals. Here is relevant information about ACC: 1. ACC working principle: When the distance to the vehicle ahead becomes too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate wheel braking and reduce engine power output, maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. ACC usage conditions: The Adaptive Cruise Control system typically activates when the vehicle speed exceeds 25km/h. When speed drops below 25km/h, the driver needs to take manual control. Through system software upgrades, the Adaptive Cruise Control system can achieve 'Stop & Go' functionality to handle frequent stopping and starting situations in urban driving.

How Often Should the Transmission Fluid of the Mazda3 Axela Be Replaced?

The manufacturer-recommended replacement interval for the Mazda3 Axela's transmission fluid is 35,000 kilometers or 39 months, whichever comes first. If you notice that gear shifting becomes rough, especially when the vehicle speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour and the transmission noise significantly increases, it may be necessary to replace the transmission fluid earlier. Below is some relevant information about the Mazda3 Axela's transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid varies by model: Even the same transmission model installed in different vehicle models will have differences in torque, weight, rotational speed, and structure. Therefore, the manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting shift quality. 2. The impact of time on transmission fluid: After prolonged use, the performance of the transmission fluid will degrade, viscosity will decrease, and sealing effectiveness will consequently be reduced.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel is Locked?

The solution to unlock a locked steering wheel is: insert the steering wheel key, then gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right to release the lock. Below are some related details: 1. Steering wheel locking mechanism: Generally, steering wheels can be categorized into power-assisted and non-power-assisted types. The former requires 1.5 full turns to lock the steering wheel, while the latter, found in older models, requires 2 full turns. 2. Principle of steering wheel lock: Steering wheel lock is a fundamental anti-theft feature in cars. The principle involves a spring-controlled steel pin that engages when the key is removed. If the steering wheel is turned, the pin snaps into a pre-drilled hole, locking the steering wheel in place. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key cannot be rotated, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft protection.
