CVT is a transmission. Below is expanded information about automatic transmissions: 1. Types of automatic transmissions: There are three common types of automotive transmissions, namely hydraulic automatic transmission (referred to as AT), continuously variable transmission (referred to as CVT), and electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission (referred to as AMT). Currently, AT is the most commonly used in passenger vehicles on the market. 2. Function: The main function of an automatic transmission is to transform the engine's output into a wide range of speed variations delivered to the drive wheels. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; whereas automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of torque converters, planetary gears, and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.

How is the Cayenne's off-road capability?

Cayenne's off-road performance is stronger than the Q7 and X5, but not as good as the Touareg, let alone the Range Rover. Advantages of the Cayenne: The biggest advantage is definitely its appearance. The Cayenne is arguably the best-looking among luxury SUVs, followed by Porsche's craftsmanship, which is very solid. Both the brand and quality are commendable, and then there's the power—the 3.0T is indeed impressive. Fuel consumption is a bit high, especially in urban areas, and the optional accessories are really expensive. Maintenance costs are also quite high, not to mention repair costs. Cayenne's appearance: There's no need to say much about the Porsche Cayenne's exterior—it's absolutely beautiful, not only dynamic but also very classy. It's full of the wild charm of an SUV, along with Porsche's super sense of power and speed.

Why is the fuel consumption of Baojun 310W so high?

Baojun 310W has high fuel consumption due to the following reasons: Excessive spark plug gap: Poor ignition caused by excessive spark plug gap and insufficient energy from the ignition coil. Fuel injector atomization malfunction: Poor fuel injector atomization and faulty fuel pressure regulator, leading to excessively high fuel pressure. Gasoline absorbed by carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon buildup causes some of the injected gasoline to be absorbed by the carbon deposits. Sensor malfunction: A faulty coolant temperature sensor can make the engine mistakenly believe it is still in a cold state, continuously sending fuel injection signals, resulting in high fuel consumption. Oxygen sensor malfunction: This can cause fuel correction to fail, and the computer will continuously send fuel injection signals. A faulty air flow meter can lead to incorrect intake data.

Meaning of TPMS malfunction: TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which functions to automatically monitor tire pressure in real-time while the vehicle is in motion and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Methods to resolve TPMS malfunction: Start the car's engine and turn on the dashboard power. Check the tire pressure for each tire, ensuring all four tires have the same pressure. Press and hold the tire pressure reset control button until the TPMS light turns off, indicating the reset is complete.

Which Gear to Use for Climbing Hills?

Climbing gears vary by vehicle type: 1. Manual transmission cars use 2nd or 3rd gear; 2. Automatic transmission cars use S gear, L gear or D gear. The method to prevent rolling back during hill starts is: 1. Shift to neutral, firmly engage the handbrake to prevent rolling; 2. Depress the clutch fully with left foot, shift to 1st gear while holding the handbrake with right hand; 3. Gradually release clutch to semi-engaged position until vehicle vibrates and shows forward tendency - maintain this position (avoid further clutch release to prevent stalling), slowly press accelerator with right foot. When vehicle moves forward, fully release handbrake; 4. Continue accelerating to climb, avoiding prolonged semi-engaged acceleration during startup. Once propelled by throttle, the vehicle won't roll back - release clutch pedal and accelerate to complete startup.

What Causes Door Squeaking While Driving?

The reasons for door squeaking while driving are: 1. The door hinge may be rusted or deformed due to prolonged use. After cleaning the oil stains on the surface of the door hinge, limit arm, limit pin shaft, and connecting bracket, you can appropriately lubricate them with special lubricating oil. 2. It could be caused by loosening or deformation of the internal window regulator. 3. It might also be due to the door trim panel not being securely fixed or the fixing clips falling off. Door working principle and solutions for squeaking: 1. The door is connected to the body through hinges, and it is normal for hinges to make noise after long-term use. 2. To ensure the pulley remains smooth and silent for a long time, you can regularly add lubricating oil every 2 to 3 months for maintenance. 3. For some cars with relatively ordinary assembly processes, the door limiters are prone to deformation, leading to squeaking. In such cases, you can only go to the shop for repair or replacement.
