Before starting the car, ensure that the gear is in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. When starting, pay attention to the coordination of the handbrake, brake, and accelerator. During driving, avoid sudden acceleration or braking. Below is a detailed introduction to automatic transmission cars: 1. Overview: An automatic transmission car generally refers to a vehicle that uses an automatic transmission (AT) to adjust speed. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting. 2. Other Information: Automatic transmission cars usually use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward.

Does the sixth year of the six-year exemption from inspection for passenger cars require an on-site inspection?

Yes, vehicles in their sixth year require an on-site annual inspection. Below is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: Exemption from Inspection: The six-year exemption from inspection refers to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) being exempt from on-site inspections within six years. However, owners need to regularly apply for the annual inspection decal. In the second and fourth years after purchasing a new vehicle, owners must bring the vehicle's registration certificate and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office to apply for the inspection decal. Alternatively, they can apply for the annual inspection decal online and choose to have it delivered by courier. Mandatory Scrapping: Before the sixth-year inspection expires, owners need to take the vehicle to an inspection station for an on-site inspection. Upon passing the inspection, they can receive the annual inspection decal. Traffic police departments specifically remind that if a vehicle fails to obtain the inspection decal for three consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires, the vehicle must be mandatorily scrapped.

How to Choose Xenon Lights?

When purchasing xenon lights, pay attention to the model, color temperature, size, and brand. Here are some considerations for your reference: Model: Each vehicle has a specific bulb model. Common xenon bulb models include H1, H3, H4, H7, 9004, 9005, and 9006. Color Temperature: Color temperature is the most directly perceptible criterion. Higher color temperature does not necessarily mean better for xenon lights; it should be within the acceptable range for human eyes. Many car owners might think that higher color temperature means brighter light, but this is not the case. Generally, when the color temperature exceeds 6000K, the light emitted by xenon lamps tends to be too white, which can be glaring and increase driving hazards. Size: In most cases, xenon light modifications are done based on the original car lights. Therefore, when installing xenon lights, the size must match the original car lights to avoid issues like misalignment of the light-emitting part or poor focus. Brand: There are many brands of xenon lights on the market. Well-known brands include Osram and Philips, which, although expensive, offer superior quality.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: 1.5T or 2.0L?

First, let's discuss the differences between 1.5T and 2.0L. The 1.5T refers to a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Naturally, its engine type is a turbocharged engine. The operating principle of a turbocharged engine is an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gases produced during operation drive an air compressor, which in turn generates power for the engine. The 2.0L engine represents a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Generally, the 1.5T is more fuel-efficient. Theoretically, the 2.0L consumes more fuel, but this is not absolute. It also depends on the weight of the vehicles equipped with these engines and the structure of the transmission. If two cars have the same weight and travel the same distance at the same speed, the power and energy consumed by both vehicles will be the same. However, this scenario has conditions: the displacement of the engines in the two cars should not differ too significantly. From this perspective, the 1.5T engine is still more fuel-efficient. If driving on regular roads, the fuel consumption of a 1.5T car and a 2.0L naturally aspirated car may be quite similar. Moreover, influenced by the vehicle's own weight, it's highly possible that your smaller displacement car may waste more fuel during acceleration. In particularly congested urban areas, the fuel consumption of a 1.5T might even exceed that of a 2.0L.

How often should a car be waxed?

Under normal circumstances, if the car is parked in a garage and driven mostly on good roads, waxing every 3-4 months is sufficient. However, the interval between waxing should vary depending on the driving environment and parking conditions. For new cars, it is recommended that owners avoid waxing them casually. Some people wax their new cars immediately after purchase, but in fact, the paint layer of a new car already has a protective wax coating. Typically, there is no need to rush into waxing a new car within the first five months of purchase. Washing and waxing a car offers many benefits, such as waterproofing, heat resistance, and anti-static properties. In the later stages of car use, waxing approximately every 2 to 3 months can help maintain the smoothness and shine of the paint.

Does AT Transmission Refer to the Tiptronic?

AT transmission does not necessarily mean Tiptronic. Below are the relevant introductions about Tiptronic: Transmission: Tiptronic transmission is not AT. Tiptronic refers to a certain type of automatic transmission that has manual shifting functionality, and this transmission with manual shifting capability is not necessarily an AT transmission—it could also be a dual-clutch or CVT transmission. Transmission mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic types. Manual Transmission vs. Automatic Transmission: A manual transmission primarily consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. On the other hand, an automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
