The tightening direction for car tire screws is clockwise, while the loosening direction is counterclockwise. When using a jack, always place it in the jack slots located on both sides of the vehicle's underside to prevent accidents. Whether tightening or loosening screws, always follow the diagonal sequence when turning the screws. This ensures that the stress on the tire is evenly distributed, making the process easier and reducing wear on the screws. Whether tightening or loosening screws, it's important to note that when the vehicle is raised with a jack, avoid applying excessive force to tighten the screws. Too much force may cause the vehicle to sway, leading to misalignment of the jack and potential harm to people or the vehicle. For large trucks, the direction of the tire screws differs between the left and right sides. The left side uses reverse threads, while the right side uses standard threads. This means tightening is done by turning in the direction of the vehicle's forward motion, and loosening is done by turning in the reverse direction. After loosening, it's essential to visit a professional auto repair shop to have the tires inspected, ensuring no safety hazards are overlooked due to negligence.

Which company's transmission does the Elysee use?

The transmission brand used in the Elysee is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional research and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Elysee is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The automatic manual transmission has eight forward gears. Essentially, an automatic manual transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. The purpose of this design is to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic transmission vehicles. When using the Elysee's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. Many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmission models, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate "smooth" operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or other malfunctions over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, leading to insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck and move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using a tow rope or dragging the vehicle directly.

What are the dimensions of the Volkswagen CC?

The length, width, and height of the Volkswagen CC are 4869mm/1870mm/1459mm, which are official data. The length of the CC refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width of the CC refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height of the CC refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the CC has a maximum power of 162kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 6200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4400 rpm. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The state has relevant regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of the vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in national standards lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.
