The principle of a clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race can rotate freely in the clockwise direction as the wedges do not lock; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedges lock, preventing the outer race from rotating. The main functions of a clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impacts from the engine and prolonging the lifespan of transmission gears. Severe clutch wear can lead to: 1. Car slippage and insufficient power; 2. Difficulty in starting the car or ignition problems; 3. Poor climbing performance and increased fuel consumption.

What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles?

The difference between plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicles lies in their charging methods: Plug-in hybrids have larger battery capacity, can be charged via external power sources, can drive a certain distance in pure electric mode, and are eligible for green license plates. Hybrid vehicles cannot be charged via external power sources, have smaller battery capacity, and are not eligible for green license plates. Plug-in hybrids are vehicles that can be 'plugged in,' meaning they can be charged using dedicated charging stations or even household power sources. For conventional hybrid vehicles, the primary power source is still the internal combustion engine, with the electric motor serving only as an auxiliary. Therefore, these vehicles feel more like conventional cars when driven. However, during the initial acceleration phase, hybrid vehicles mainly rely on the electric motor. The engine only kicks in when a certain speed is reached, allowing each system to fully utilize its advantages.

Can I leave the car in P gear without pulling the handbrake?

When parking on a flat road, there is not much difference between pulling the handbrake first or shifting to P gear first. However, if parking on a slope, it is best to pull the handbrake first and then shift into P gear to reduce the burden on the car's transmission gears. But when parking in P gear, the handbrake must be engaged; otherwise, it may cause damage to the transmission. Introduction to car gears: 1. P position (Parking gear): When the lever is in this position, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft, preventing the car from moving. 2. R position (Reverse gear): When the lever is in this position, the reverse gear oil circuit of the hydraulic system is connected, the drive shaft reverses, and the car can move backward. 3. N position (Neutral gear): When the lever is in this position, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power. 4. D position (Drive gear): Automatically adjusts to the required gear based on the speed of the car.
