The function of the transmission interlock device is to prevent automatic gear shifting or gear disengagement during vehicle movement, where gear disengagement refers to the gear shifting back to neutral. The interlock device consists of interlock steel balls and interlock pins. The gear shift lock device of a manual transmission includes: a self-locking device; an interlock device; and a reverse gear lock device. The self-locking device is used to prevent the transmission from automatically disengaging or engaging gears and ensures full tooth width engagement. The self-locking device is composed of self-locking steel balls and self-locking springs, with three grooves distributed axially on the upper surface of each shift fork shaft. When any shift fork shaft moves axially along with the shift fork to the neutral or a working position, one groove will align precisely with the self-locking steel ball. Under the pressure of the spring, the steel ball embeds into the groove, fixing the axial position of the shift fork shaft, thereby securing the shift fork along with the sliding gear (or coupling sleeve) to prevent unintended disengagement. The reverse gear lock requires the driver to apply greater force to the gear lever to engage reverse gear, thus serving as a warning to prevent accidental engagement of reverse gear.

Does Automatic Tire Repair Fluid Affect Tires?

Automatic tire repair fluid does affect tires. As a high-molecular compound, it can chemically react with the inner rubber of the tire and the wheel hub, causing corrosion to both the tire and the wheel hub, which may compromise the vehicle's driving stability. The method of using automatic tire repair fluid is as follows: 1. Shake the repair fluid well; 2. Lift the outer tube and connect its opening to the tire valve, then tighten it; 3. Tear off the fixing ring at the top of the bottle and open the switch; 4. The repair fluid will start to inject into the tire. After filling, turn the valve counterclockwise to close it. The working principle of automatic tire repair fluid is: when the fluid is injected, the centrifugal force generated by the moving tire spreads the fluid to cover the inner side of the tire, forming a sealing film that serves to repair the tire.

What is the difference between automatic and manual car air conditioning?

The difference between automatic and manual car air conditioning lies in their functionality: Automatic car air conditioning can be set to a specific temperature value via the intelligent computer system according to the owner's needs. The system then automatically controls the output power of the air conditioning compressor and the airflow volume to adjust the temperature to the set value. Manual air conditioning, on the other hand, only allows for the adjustment of cold or warm air and cannot precisely control the temperature. Car air conditioning is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin to an optimal state. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces travel fatigue, creates favorable working conditions for the driver, and ensures safe driving.
