When waiting at a red light with a wet dual-clutch transmission, you can keep the gear in D and hold the brake, or shift to N. Some cars have an autohold function, allowing you to stay in D without pressing the brake. Here are some precautions for using a wet dual-clutch transmission: 1. Avoid heavy acceleration in traffic jams: When driving a car with a dual-clutch transmission, if you encounter a traffic jam or need to stop at a traffic light, try to avoid heavy acceleration, as this can cause frequent gear shifts, leading to jerky movements and rapid transmission overheating, which may further damage it. 2. Press the brake firmly or shift to N when temporarily stopped: When temporarily stopped, press the brake pedal more firmly. If the waiting time is long, you can directly shift to N. If your foot slips off the brake, it may cause the transmission to remain in a semi-engaged state.

What is the engine oil specification for the new Santana?

The new Santana originally uses engine oil with the specification 5W40. The Santana employs semi-synthetic oil, which is primarily suitable for the EA211 1.6L naturally aspirated engine equipped in the Santana. This type of oil used in the Santana has a replacement cycle of approximately 6,500 kilometers. The Santana (SANTANA) sedan is a brand vehicle produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. The new Santana completely abandons the boxy styling of the 1970s seen in the old Santana, replacing it with a more modern and fashionable dynamic design, aligning with the new exterior styling of the Volkswagen family. The front face's family design makes it difficult to distinguish between several compact models under the Volkswagen brand.

What is the purpose of a suspension system?

Suspension is used to connect the vehicle body to the wheels. Without a suspension system, a car cannot operate normally. The suspension is crucial for automobiles as it directly affects the vehicle's handling and comfort. The driving experience also depends on the design and tuning of the suspension. There are two main types of suspension systems in automobiles: independent suspension and non-independent suspension. In independent suspension, the connection between the wheels on the same axle is disconnected, meaning there is no linkage between the two wheels on the same axle, thus avoiding motion interference. In non-independent suspension, the wheels on the same axle are connected, resulting in motion interference between them. Independent suspension types include MacPherson strut, multi-link, double wishbone, double ball joint, and double transverse arm suspensions. Non-independent suspension types include torsion beam and solid axle suspensions.

What engine is used in the Toyota Avalon?

Toyota Avalon is equipped with three types of engines, with model numbers M20A/M20E, A25A/A25G, and A25B. The M20A/M20E engine has a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, a maximum power of 131 kW, a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and a peak torque of 210 N·m. The A25A/A25G engine has a maximum horsepower of 209 hp, a maximum power of 154 kW, a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The A25B engine has a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, a maximum power of 131 kW, a maximum power speed of 5700 rpm, and a peak torque of 221 N·m. The engines of the Toyota Avalon are manufactured in China. For daily maintenance of the Toyota Avalon's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB_CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
