What is the function of ATF oil?

In addition to lubricating and cooling the planetary gear set, the primary function of ATF oil is to transmit power. Precautions when refilling: Different types of automatic transmission fluids cannot be mixed, as they vary in flow rate, density, dynamic and static friction properties, and expansion coefficients. Some manufacturers develop specific transmission fluids tailored to the characteristics of their AT transmissions. It is recommended that car owners replace or purchase the corresponding type at authorized 4S shops rather than switching to other types on their own. CVT transmission fluid: CVT transmission fluid is similar in nature to ATF oil but is a specialized fluid. Since CVT transmissions use unique steel chain drives, parameters such as fluid flow rate, friction properties, and expansion coefficients differ, making ATF oil unsuitable as a substitute. Comparatively, CVT fluid is thinner than ATF oil and must also provide a certain degree of damping friction to prevent the drive chain from slipping.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Binyue?

The fuel tank capacity of the Binyue 2021 1.4T DCT Platinum Edition is 45L. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Among vehicles in the same class, the Binyue 2021 1.4T Manual Gold Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 45L, while the Changan CS35 PLUS 2021 Glory Million Edition 1.6L Manual Elite has a fuel tank capacity of 53L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to rising temperatures without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is sufficiently full.

How to Retake the Driving Test After License Revocation?

To retake the driving test after license revocation, you can reapply once the revocation period expires. This process is treated as an initial application for a motor vehicle driver's license. You need to bring the applicant's identity proof and a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution (or a military regiment-level or higher medical unit) to the vehicle management office to fill out an application form. After submission, the office will arrange the examination. A driver's license, also known as a driving permit, is officially called a motor vehicle driver's license. It is a legally required certification that motor vehicle operators must obtain. Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills, and drivers lacking these skills may cause traffic accidents if they operate vehicles without proper training.

When does the ABS system activate?

ABS system activates when wheels lock up during emergency braking. Functions of ABS system: Maximize braking efficiency, shorten braking time and distance; effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; allow steering during emergency braking, maintaining good steering control; avoid severe friction between tires and ground, reducing tire wear. Working principle of ABS system: During braking, ABS closes the normally open input solenoid valve for wheels that begin to lock based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, maintaining constant braking force. If wheels continue to lock, it opens the normally closed output solenoid valve. This keeps braking at optimal conditions, achieving best braking performance and maximum driving safety.
