The difference between a 6AT transmission and an 8AT transmission lies in the number of gears: a 6AT transmission has 6 forward gears, while an 8AT transmission has 8 forward gears. The functions of a transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio and expand the range of torque and speed variations of the drive wheels; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction; 3. To use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output. Transmissions are divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variations through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

Is ACC Adaptive Cruise Control Necessary?

Whether ACC adaptive cruise control is necessary depends on the specific circumstances. If you frequently drive on highways or in urban areas with severe traffic congestion, this system is highly recommended. However, if you rarely drive on highways or encounter heavy traffic in urban areas, you may not need this system. ACC adaptive cruise control is an evolution of traditional cruise control. It features a distance-measuring radar at the front of the vehicle. Once activated, the driver can set the following distance. If the distance to the vehicle ahead becomes too close, the car will automatically slow down, making this feature very convenient to use.

What is the ground clearance of the Corolla?

Ground clearance of the Corolla: The ground clearance when fully loaded is 120mm; the ground clearance when unloaded is 160mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the car is fully loaded and stationary, which is used to characterize the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. The Corolla is a brand of Toyota, equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads to ensure its relatively ideal sports performance.

What is an airbag device?

An airbag is an auxiliary safety protection device that can only function effectively when used in conjunction with seat belts. The airbag is an application system - what we commonly see as deployed airbags are merely the execution units of this system. A crucial component of the airbag system is the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, commonly known as the airbag computer). This computer is installed at a specific location on the vehicle floor, where it detects and analyzes collision signals from the front of the vehicle to determine whether to deploy the airbag. If the analysis indicates a severe collision requiring airbag deployment, the airbag computer will issue an ignition command to activate the airbag module through wiring harnesses, thereby protecting the occupants.

Should the GL8 use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

The GL8 should use 95 octane gasoline, as it is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that utilizes variable valve management technology and can perform intelligent cylinder deactivation. This engine has specific fuel requirements, and only 95 octane or higher gasoline can ensure stable engine operation. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and it is used as fuel. The GL8 is a 5-door, 7-seat MPV with a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, and 1776mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3088mm.
