The gear of a car, also known as the transmission, refers to the automotive device that changes the size of gears, divided into gears of automatic transmissions and gears of manual transmissions. Below is more information about car gears: 1. Automatic Transmission: The gears of an automatic transmission are divided into P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L, etc. P (Parking): Used for parking, it utilizes a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing the car from moving. 2. Manual Transmission: A manual transmission (MT), also known as a manual gearbox, requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve the purpose of changing speeds.

What Should You Pay Attention to for Vehicles in Winter?

Winter driving precautions require drivers to pay high attention to driving safety under special winter weather conditions and enhance their awareness of safe driving. When operating vehicles, drive smoothly and decelerate skillfully. High Importance on Driving Safety: Drivers must pay high attention to driving safety under special winter weather conditions and enhance their awareness of safe driving. When operating vehicles, stay focused, control speed, and drive in a standardized manner. Anticipate and handle emergencies such as skidding, side slipping, deviation, pedestrians, and non-motorized vehicles crossing the road during starting, stopping, turning around, turning, changing lanes, and meeting other vehicles. Practice starting on slopes is strictly prohibited in snowy and icy weather. Smooth Driving: After winter snow, roads are slippery. Pay attention to maintaining a steady speed and uniform operations while driving. Actions such as sudden acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns are major taboos for driving on snow. Accelerate smoothly and drive at medium to low speeds. Skillful Deceleration: When decelerating, make full use of the engine's resistance to slow down. Quickly release the throttle without disengaging the gear or depressing the clutch, causing the engine speed to drop immediately and forcing the drive wheels to slow down, thereby decelerating the vehicle. If braking is necessary to stop, first reduce the speed using engine braking, then lightly apply the brakes. Emergency braking is absolutely prohibited on icy and snowy roads to prevent vehicle skidding.

Why is the car remote not working even though it has power?

Car remote has power but is not functioning properly. The reasons and solutions are as follows: Internal moisture: After prolonged use of the car key, due to sealing issues, internal moisture or dirt oxidation can make the buttons less responsive. In this case, you need to disassemble the key shell and use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the button base on the internal circuit board of the key. After cleaning, reassemble and test if it works normally. Car battery dead: The second reason could be that the car battery is dead, causing the vehicle to not receive signals, resulting in the car key malfunctioning. In this situation, you can use the mechanical key inside the remote to open the car door, as every remote key comes with a mechanical key, allowing you to unlock the door manually.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation When Running the Car AC in Summer?

Whether to use internal or external air circulation when running the car AC in summer depends on the situation: use internal circulation for short trips and external circulation for long trips. Internal and external circulation in cars refer to: Internal circulation: The AC system is closed to outside air and can only circulate the air inside the car cabin; External circulation: The AC system is open to outside air and draws in fresh air from outside the car for circulation. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

Can an Inter-Wheel Differential Lock Turn?

An inter-wheel differential lock cannot turn. Below is an introduction to differential locks: Forced Locking Type: The forced locking differential lock is set on an ordinary symmetrical bevel gear differential. This type of differential lock has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has a high torque distribution ratio. However, it is quite inconvenient to operate, generally requiring the vehicle to stop. Additionally, if the differential lock is engaged too early or disengaged too late, it can lead to a series of issues similar to those without a differential, with an unchangeable torque distribution. High-Friction Self-Locking Type: The high-friction self-locking type includes structures like the friction plate type and the sliding block cam type. The friction plate type locks the differential through the frictional torque generated when the friction plates slide relative to each other. This type of differential lock has a simple structure and operates smoothly, making it very common in cars and light vehicles. The sliding block cam type uses the large frictional torque between the sliding block and the cam to lock the differential, significantly improving the vehicle's off-road performance. However, it has a complex structure, high manufacturing requirements, significant wear on friction components, and higher costs. Torsen Type: The Torsen differential is a new type of inter-axle differential widely used in all-wheel-drive cars (such as the Audi TT). It employs the basic principle of worm gear transmission with self-locking characteristics. The Torsen differential has a compact structure, a wide and adjustable range of torque transmission, making it widely used as the central differential in all-wheel-drive cars and the inter-wheel differential in rear-drive axles. However, due to its automatic locking effect under high-speed torque differences, it generally cannot be used as an inter-wheel differential in front-drive axles.

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn at a red light?

Making a U-turn at a red light is an offense that results in a deduction of 6 points. Some drivers, seeing the long duration of the red light and needing to make a U-turn, decide to do so during the red light, which is very dangerous. Below is relevant information: Relevant regulations: Making a U-turn at a red light violates the Road Traffic Safety Law. According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations": driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights results in a deduction of 6 points per offense. At signalized intersections: if there is a U-turn marking, it indicates that U-turns are permitted. If the central median has a gap before the stop line, you can make a U-turn directly without crossing the stop line. If there is no gap, you need to wait for the left-turn green light (unless there is a marking indicating that U-turns are allowed when the straight-ahead signal is red), otherwise, you may be caught by traffic cameras.

What is the diameter of a 15-inch wheel hub in centimeters?

The diameter of a 15-inch wheel hub is 38.1 centimeters. Automotive wheel hub width: Wheel hub width is commonly referred to as the J-value. The width of the wheel hub directly affects tire selection. For tires of the same size, different J-values will require different tire aspect ratios and widths. Automotive wheel hub PCD and bolt pattern: The professional term for PCD is Pitch Circle Diameter, which refers to the diameter between the fixing bolts at the center of the wheel hub. Most wheel hubs have either 5 or 4 bolt holes, with varying distances between them. When selecting a wheel hub, PCD is one of the most important parameters. For safety and stability considerations, it is best to choose a wheel hub with the same PCD as the original vehicle for upgrades. Automotive wheel hub offset: This is the difference between the mounting surface of the wheel hub and the centerline of the entire wheel. In simpler terms, it determines whether the wheel hub will sit more inward or outward after modification. Automotive wheel hub center bore: The center bore is the part used to connect the wheel hub to the vehicle, specifically the position where the wheel hub center aligns with the concentric circle of the wheel. The diameter here affects whether the geometric center of the wheel can align with the geometric center of the hub during installation. .
