Epica manual-automatic transmission gear explanation: 3 is the forward gear, where the transmission automatically shifts between 1st to 3rd gears. 2 indicates 2nd gear, where the transmission stays in 2nd gear. 1 is 1st gear. S gear and L gear. S stands for Sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely in this gear. L stands for Low gear, where the transmission remains in 1st gear without shifting up. Introduction to manual-automatic transmission: In manual-automatic vehicles, when shifting from automatic D to manual M, the clutch or brake used for a specific gear remains fixed. For example, in a 6AT transmission driving in D gear at 3rd gear, switching to M gear keeps the transmission in 3rd gear. While driving in 3rd gear, the 35R and UD clutches inside the transmission remain engaged, keeping the transmission fixed in 3rd gear. Principle of manual-automatic transmission: When the driver shifts from D to M, it does not involve switching between different gear clutches but only changes the transmission control logic. The transmission remains in a specific gear, where the TCU cannot shift gears automatically, requiring the driver to shift manually. If the driver wants to drive in a lower gear, the engine speed increases significantly, enhancing the vehicle's acceleration capability. If the driver prefers a higher gear, the engine speed is lower, making the vehicle more fuel-efficient and providing a more comfortable ride.

What is the real fuel consumption of the Tourneo automatic transmission?

The real fuel consumption of the Tourneo automatic transmission is 9.6L per 100 kilometers. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Overview: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting the obtained values into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model at specified speeds. 2. Others: Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at 90 km/h, the theoretical fuel consumption figures published by most manufacturers are usually based on the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h.

How to Report a Cloned License Plate Vehicle?

If you discover a cloned license plate vehicle, you can report it by submitting relevant evidence, such as front and rear appearance photos of the original vehicle, the illegal time and location of the cloned vehicle, to the traffic police department's violation handling window at the vehicle's registration location or where the violation occurred. Below is more information about cloned license plate vehicles: 1. What is a cloned license plate vehicle: A cloned license plate vehicle refers to a vehicle where criminals forge and illegally obtain the license plate number, model, and color of a genuine vehicle, making smuggled, assembled, scrapped, or stolen vehicles appear "legal" on the surface. Cloned license plate vehicles are also known as "clone cars" or simply "cloned plates." 2. Hazards of cloned plates: They disrupt public security management by authorities and create social instability. Cloned license plate vehicles not only severely interfere with proper road traffic order but also increase the likelihood of traffic accidents. Moreover, since cloned vehicles lack legal procedures and insurance, drivers are more likely to flee the scene in case of an accident, significantly increasing the difficulty of solving such cases. 3. New traffic regulations: The 2013 traffic regulations imposed stricter penalties for cloned license plate vehicles, stipulating that using forged or altered vehicle license plates, registration certificates, driving licenses, school bus signs, or using someone else's vehicle license plates or registration certificates will result in a 12-point deduction on the driver's license.

Why is there no response when pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor while going uphill?

No response when pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor while going uphill may be an operational issue. Here are some related introductions about the car accelerator: 1. Function of car accelerator: The gasoline engine's accelerator does not control the fuel injection volume, but rather controls the throttle opening size. That is, a smaller opening results in less mixture entering the cylinder, thus the engine produces less power, and vice versa. 2. Solution for a heavy accelerator pedal: A heavy accelerator pedal can be addressed by cleaning the fuel system. Alternatively, try continuing to accelerate to see if the engine speed increases but the speed does not. If this occurs, it may be due to a damaged sensor inside the transmission locking the overdrive gear.

Solutions for BYD Not Detecting Smart Key

Solutions for BYD not detecting the smart key include using the mechanical key to open the car door, placing the key near the start button, and waiting for the button indicator to turn green. Common reasons why BYD cannot detect the key include the following: 1. Low battery in the key: For example, the battery has not been replaced for a long time. Solution: Replace the battery. Here is a simple way to check: If the red indicator light on the remote key flashes when you press the button, it means the key battery is functioning normally. 2. Key malfunction: For example, the control unit of the key is damaged. Solution: Get a new key. 3. Signal interference near the parking area: You can first use the mechanical key to drive the car to another location and try again. If it works, it indicates that the remote key failure was caused by severe signal interference. 4. Vehicle-related issues: It could be a problem with the fuse box or the vehicle's central control system. Some owners have reported needing to replace the high-frequency receiver. If the issue is related to the vehicle itself, it is necessary to contact a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop for assistance from experts.

What are the effects of removing the catalytic converter?

Removing the catalytic converter will result in reduced exhaust gas purification function, exceeding emission standards, increased exhaust back pressure, higher fuel consumption, decreased power, and high-temperature sintering blockage. As the most critical component in the gasoline vehicle emission purification system, the catalytic converter is responsible for the catalytic reduction of harmful gases in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Composition of the catalytic converter: The catalytic converter generally consists of four parts: the shell, damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. Shell: Made of stainless steel to prevent oxide scale from falling off and causing substrate blockage; Damping layer: Composed of gaskets or wire mesh pads, which serve to seal, insulate, and secure the substrate. To protect the substrate from damage due to vibration or thermal deformation, the gasket is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded with adhesive; Substrate: Made of honeycomb-shaped ceramic materials, though many also use metal (including stainless steel) materials; Catalyst: Composed of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, sprayed onto the substrate to form the purification agent.

Are there any restrictions on new energy vehicles with out-of-town license plates in Beijing?

No restrictions, new energy vehicles are not subject to traffic restrictions or purchase limits nationwide. The following is relevant content: 1. State Council: Local governments must not impose traffic restrictions or purchase limits on new energy vehicles. On September 29, Premier Li Keqiang presided over a State Council executive meeting, which identified measures to support the development of new energy and small-displacement vehicles to promote structural adjustment and domestic demand expansion. The meeting concluded that promoting new energy and small-displacement vehicles while phasing out over-emission vehicles helps alleviate energy and environmental pressures, optimize the automotive industry structure, upgrade consumption, and foster new economic growth points. 2. Government agencies and enterprises: Government agencies and enterprises must meet the proportion requirements for new energy vehicles in vehicle replacement, increase the assessment of the proportion of new energy vehicles in added or replaced buses, and reduce fuel and operation subsidies for non-compliant regions. Innovate operation models such as time-sharing leasing and vehicle sharing.
