Dual clutch refers to a transmission system equipped with two clutches. Dual clutch transmissions (DCT) differ from conventional automatic transmissions in that they are based on manual transmissions yet belong to the automatic transmission category. Besides offering the flexibility of manual transmissions and the comfort of automatic transmissions, they also provide uninterrupted power output. Dual clutches are divided into two types: dry and wet. The differences between them are: 1. Heat dissipation: Wet clutches contain oil for heat dissipation, while dry clutches do not. 2. Clutch operation: Wet clutches are relatively more advanced because the clutch plates inside generate friction during gear shifts. Dry clutches have greater friction, delivering more direct power transmission, simpler structure, and can be made more compact.

Is an annual inspection required for cars every year after 6 years?

For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: Domestic vehicle inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attached equipment are clean, complete, and effective, and whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing. Test the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features. Verify whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle. Out-of-town vehicle inspection: Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. The owner needs to obtain a vehicle inspection delegation notice from the vehicle management office at the vehicle's registration location, authorizing an out-of-town vehicle management office to conduct the inspection. To apply for the delegation notice, the applicant must bring their ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate, and a copy.

What is the Difference Between an Auto Trading Company and a 4S Store?

The differences between an auto trading company and a 4S store lie in the variety of vehicles, service and environment, and after-sales service. The specifics are as follows: Vehicle variety: In most auto trading companies, the vehicles sold are quite diverse, featuring various brands and models, but the specific models and configurations for each brand may not be comprehensive. Service and environment: Since the staff at 4S stores undergo systematic training, the quality of service is generally better than that at auto trading companies. Additionally, 4S stores are built by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers, featuring unified interior and exterior designs with significant investments, often amounting to tens of millions, creating a luxurious, grand, and comfortable environment. 4S stores also have dedicated customer rest areas, entertainment zones, and more complete supporting facilities compared to auto trading companies. After-sales service: At 4S stores, customers can enjoy vehicle after-sales services with assured quality. In contrast, most auto trading companies offer limited or no warranties, which are generally less comprehensive than those at 4S stores.

What are the penalty points for stopping on a slope?

The penalty points for stopping on a slope are: After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper and front axle of the car are not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation exceeds 50 centimeters, 10 points will be deducted. Other penalty criteria: 1. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper and front axle of the car are not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation exceeds 50 centimeters, it is considered a failure; 2. After the vehicle stops, if the body is more than 30 centimeters away from the road edge line, 10 points will be deducted (originally 20 points); if the body is more than 50 centimeters away from the road edge line, the test is considered a failure; 3. After the vehicle starts, if the car rolls back between 30 and 50 centimeters, 20 points will be deducted; 4. After the vehicle starts, if the car rolls back more than 50 centimeters, the test is considered a failure; 5. If the engine stalls on the slope, 20 points will be deducted; 6. After the vehicle stops, if it is not started within 30 seconds, it is considered a timeout failure.

What are the car gears?

1.P——Parking: When parking and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2.R——Reverse: Used for reversing. 3.N——Neutral: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed. 4.D——Drive: Also known as the driving gear. This gear is used when moving forward. 5.2——Second, low gear: Can be used to start moving forward when climbing a steep slope or starting on a relatively inclined slope. The principle is that by shifting to this gear, the car's gear is automatically limited to only low gears (equivalent to first and second gears in a manual transmission car), ensuring the car obtains maximum forward power. 6.L——Low, low gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear limits the car's gear to only the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car), allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brake for a long time, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
