Mitsubishi CVT transmissions can last up to 300,000 kilometers. Principle of CVT transmission: It mainly consists of two conical pulleys and a steel belt or chain. The two conical pulleys can be tightened or released through electronically controlled hydraulic devices, changing the diameter of the steel belt wrapped around the pulleys to achieve varying transmission ratios. During startup, the driving pulley has the smallest diameter while the driven pulley has the largest. At high speeds, the driving pulley diameter increases while the driven pulley diameter decreases. The entire diameter-changing process is computer-controlled, enabling seamless and stepless adjustment. Advantages of CVT transmission: Since CVT transmissions lack mechanical gears, they provide an exceptionally smooth driving experience with almost no noticeable jerking. CVTs have fewer components, typically only a few hundred, which contributes to their high reliability.

What are the essential items that come with a new car?

New cars typically come with essential items such as a warning triangle, fire extinguisher, dash cam, and rearview camera/rear parking sensors. Warning triangle and fire extinguisher: The warning triangle can be used when your vehicle breaks down on the road to alert other vehicles and prevent secondary accidents. The fire extinguisher becomes crucial in case of car fires or other emergencies. These items are vital for safety. Dash cam: On today's busy roads with heavy traffic, a dash cam is extremely important. It clearly records violations or illegal activities by others, such as ETC fraud on highways, false accusations by pedestrians, or encountering scammers on one-way streets. Without a dash cam, it would be difficult to prove your innocence in such situations. Rearview camera and parking sensors: If the vehicle doesn't come with parking assistance features, it's essential to get parking sensors, including a rearview camera. These features significantly enhance the driving experience, especially for novice drivers, making parallel parking and garage entry much easier.

What is the speed limit for vehicles at construction sites?

Construction sites implement vehicle speed limit management, with the speed restricted to within 20 kilometers per hour. Different locations have different speed limits for vehicles. Highways: On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. If there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; if there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the middle lane's minimum speed is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs. Urban Roads: For urban roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the maximum speed is 70 kilometers per hour where there are no speed limit signs. Closed motor vehicle-only roads and highways have a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour. Low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, tractors, battery-powered vehicles, wheeled special machinery vehicles, regular three-wheeled motorcycles, and mopeds must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour when driving on roads.

How to Use Turn Signals When Driving Around a Roundabout?

When navigating a roundabout, the use of turn signals is as follows: 1. Left turn at the roundabout: If the vehicle is turning left, choose the left lane inside the roundabout. Since the vehicle needs to merge from the outer lane to the inner lane, the left turn signal should be activated upon entering the roundabout to indicate to other vehicles inside and behind that "this vehicle is merging into the inner lane for a left turn." When exiting the roundabout, the right turn signal should be activated in advance. After confirming safety, change lanes from the inner lane to the outer lane of the roundabout and then exit. 2. Going straight through the roundabout: If the vehicle is going straight, choose the middle lane inside the roundabout. Since the vehicle does not need to change lanes after entering the roundabout, the left turn signal is not required upon entry. However, when preparing to exit the roundabout to continue straight, the vehicle will need to cross the right lane inside the roundabout, so the right turn signal should be activated to alert other vehicles. After confirming safety, exit the roundabout. 3. Right turn at the roundabout: If the vehicle is turning right to another intersection, it can choose either the right lane inside the roundabout or the outer lane for a right turn. The situation when entering the roundabout is similar to going straight, so the left turn signal is not required. However, after selecting the corresponding intersection, the right turn signal should be activated in advance, and the vehicle should exit the roundabout by turning right after confirming safety.

What is the standard width of a slow lane?

The standard width for a slow lane is 2×7.5 meters for a four-lane bidirectional road; 2×11.25 meters for a six-lane bidirectional road; and 2×15 meters for an eight-lane bidirectional road. The national standard for the width of each motor vehicle lane on highways is as follows: For multi-lane highways above Level III, the width of each motor vehicle lane is 3.5-3.75 meters. There is no uniform standard for the central divider, which is adapted to local conditions. A simple cement central divider is one meter wide, while for a central green divider, there is no uniform standard. Some 'image project' roads can have dividers as wide as several dozen meters. Classification of urban roads: Urban roads are categorized into three levels: expressways, arterial roads, and secondary roads, with the following red line width controls: expressways should be no less than 40 meters, arterial roads 30-40 meters, secondary roads 20-24 meters, and branch roads 14-18 meters.

Can a motorcycle run with too much engine oil?

Motorcycle cannot run with too much engine oil. Engine burning oil: The main reason why excessive oil causes the engine to burn oil is that the excess lubricant enters the cylinder piston rings and cannot be completely scraped back into the crankcase, thus entering the combustion chamber and burning along with the combustible mixture. Precautions when adding oil: Too much oil leads to weak driving performance. The main reason for this phenomenon is that excessive lubricant increases the operating resistance of the engine, thereby affecting the engine's power. Therefore, it is best to add the appropriate amount of lubricant when changing the oil, otherwise it will not only be a waste but also cause various problems with the engine.

What Type of Insurance Does Motorcycle Insurance Belong To?

Motorcycle insurance is similar to regular auto insurance, requiring the purchase of compulsory traffic insurance (CTL) and other commercial insurance policies. Among these, CTL is mandatory, while commercial insurance typically includes motorcycle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance, among others. Motorcycle Damage Insurance: This refers to coverage for the insured motorcycle against losses caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of the insurance policy. The insurer compensates according to the terms of the insurance contract. If you value your motorcycle, this insurance is recommended. Third-Party Liability Insurance: In the past, most local governments classified third-party liability insurance as a compulsory insurance type. Without this insurance, motor vehicles could not be registered or undergo annual inspections. After the introduction of Compulsory Traffic Liability Insurance (CTL), third-party liability insurance became non-mandatory.
