Transmission jerking is the impact sensation caused by the inertia of moving parts inside the engine. During the process where the engine speed is either increased or decreased, if not handled properly, sudden changes in engine speed during gear shifting can cause the inertia of the engine's moving parts to react against the vehicle body. The function of the transmission is to change the transmission ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, and can also be equipped with a power take-off when needed. In terms of classification, transmissions can be categorized in two ways: by the method of transmission ratio change and by the method of control.

What does the HOLD button on an automatic transmission car do?

HOLD button on a car means forced gear shifting, which adjusts the optimal driving state according to different road conditions, effectively prevents frequent gear shifts on different road surfaces, and serves as a forced downshift (without upshifting) during overtaking. The HOLD function can be used in the following situations: 1. On slippery surfaces, such as when starting on snow, you can place the gear lever in position 2 and press HOLD, so the transmission will maintain the gear ratio in 2nd gear, making the start smoother. 2. When driving on mountain roads or continuous slopes, press the HOLD button in D4 or 2nd gear to enter the hold mode, which provides stronger acceleration when going uphill; and greater engine braking and safety when going downhill, also avoiding wear caused by frequent gear shifts.

What is a left-turn waiting zone?

Left-turn waiting zone refers to the area where vehicles in the left-turn lane must advance when the straight-through lane in the same direction has a green light, waiting for the signal. The left-turn lane is extended with several meters of white dashed-line boxes that connect directly to the middle of the road. These white dashed boxes mark the designated left-turn waiting zone. Roads implementing left-turn waiting zones are mostly one-way roads with three or more lanes. According to each traffic signal cycle, it is estimated that 3 or 4 additional vehicles can pass per cycle, increasing traffic flow by approximately 100 vehicles per hour. This effectively enhances the intersection's vehicle throughput and reduces vehicle congestion.

How to Troubleshoot When the Urea Warning Light Comes On?

Methods to troubleshoot when the urea warning light comes on: 1. If the vehicle experiences poor acceleration or white smoke from the exhaust pipe, professional equipment is needed to clean the urea crystallization inside the exhaust pipe; 2. If the vehicle's fault code indicates low urea pressure, it is necessary to replenish the urea; 3. If the engine torque is limited and the RPM cannot exceed 1800 per minute, the urea pump and sensor need to be replaced. Automotive urea is a high-purity transparent liquid with a faint ammonia odor, alkaline but non-toxic. Failure to load diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or using impure or substandard DEF can cause the vehicle's engine to automatically reduce speed. Poor-quality DEF can contaminate the catalyst in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, leading to serious consequences.

Reasons Why Ford Transit Fails to Start

Here are the reasons why a Ford Transit may fail to start: 1. Insufficient battery charge - timely and effective replenishment is needed: When the battery charge is low, the engine cranks weakly during startup, and you may only hear abnormal noises. Try pressing the accelerator while turning the key, and continuously pump the throttle. When the vehicle shudders and is about to start, ease off the throttle slightly to avoid damaging the vehicle by stomping on the accelerator. Avoid continuous ignition attempts to prevent complete battery drain. 2. Untimely spark plug replacement: Spark plugs are a key component of a car engine's ignition system. Every gasoline engine is equipped with spark plugs, typically one per cylinder, with rare high-speed gasoline engines having two spark plugs per cylinder.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Kuga?

The minimum ground clearance of the Kuga is 180mm. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the vehicle's support plane and the lowest point in the middle area of the vehicle, which is the distance from the most protruding part of the car chassis to the horizontal ground. The minimum ground clearance must ensure the vehicle's passability when driving on rough roads or going up and down slopes, i.e., to prevent the bottom from touching the ground. Taking the 2019 Kuga as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with a body size of 4525mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. This model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 134kW and a maximum torque of 245Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
