AT transmission not moving when shifted to D gear can be due to insufficient transmission fluid or issues with the shift valve. Insufficient transmission fluid: If the automatic transmission fluid is slightly low, it can cause the transmission to jerk when shifting. In severe cases, it may even burn out the transmission. Generally, the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in a car's automatic transmission should be replaced every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. However, this varies depending on the vehicle model. For Japanese models, it is recommended to replace the fluid every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Vehicles that frequently drive at high speeds should consider replacing the fluid around every 40,000 kilometers. Issues with the shift valve: If there is a noticeable jerk when the automatic transmission shifts gears while driving, or if there is severe vibration when shifting from Park or Neutral to Reverse or Drive during startup, the shift valve may need to be replaced promptly.

What is SF15W-40 engine oil?

SF is the grade designation of engine oil, and 15W-40 is the viscosity rating of the oil. Engine oil grades range from "SA" to "SN", with each subsequent letter indicating better performance and more additives to protect the engine. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade. International brands often have oil grades above SF. 15W-40 is the viscosity rating of the oil. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces wear, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is known as the "blood" of a car. Choosing the right oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its service life. 2. Choosing engine oil: The best oil is not necessarily the most expensive; it should be selected based on the characteristics of the car's engine and driving habits. It can also be categorized by winter and summer use. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, oils with better low-temperature viscosity grades are not necessary.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Southeast V3?

Southeast LIONCEL V3 has a general fuel consumption of 6.8-9.2L; on highways, it's around 6.3-7.8L. Below are the specific details about the Mitsubishi 4A91S engine: 1. Features: The Mitsubishi 4A91S engine is a reverse-flow engine, which may produce more noise, and attention should be paid to heat dissipation issues. The advantages of this engine are its light weight, high fuel efficiency, and long service life. 2. Models equipped: The Southeast autonomous brand V3 LIONCEL, Brilliance Junjie FRV, GAC Mitsubishi ASX, and Haima's new car M2 are all equipped with the 4A91S engine. 3. Performance: The direct-driven DOHC 4-valve with MIVEC variable valve timing system provides an output power of 83kW and a peak torque of 141Nm for the 1.5L displacement engine, with a fuel consumption of only 6.7L per 100 kilometers.

What is the following distance when visibility is 200 meters in foggy weather?

When driving in foggy conditions with 200 meters of visibility, vehicles should maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead in the same lane. Below are some precautions for driving in foggy weather: 1. Proper use of lights: When driving in fog, drivers should turn on both front and rear fog lights. If the fog is extremely heavy, hazard lights can also be activated. The main purpose of turning on fog lights and hazard lights is to make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, helping to prevent rear-end collisions or side-swipe accidents. 2. Pull over when necessary: If heavy fog suddenly appears and you don't have time to reach the nearest service area, you should pull over to the emergency stopping lane of the highway as soon as possible while turning on your fog lights, width indicators, and tail lights. Additionally, place a warning sign at least 150 meters away in the direction of approaching traffic.

What are the requirements for driving shoes?

Here is a detailed introduction to the requirements for driving shoes: 1. Lightweight: Heavy shoes, such as outdoor hiking boots, are not light and flexible enough, which may prevent timely and precise reactions in emergency situations. 2. High fit with the foot: Sports shoes with air cushions or airbags in the soles are not suitable for driving, as they prevent the foot from fully sensing the pressure on the pedals. 3. High friction: The soles should not be too smooth, as this would be similar to driving barefoot. Shoes with higher friction ensure better contact between the soles and the pedals. 4. Avoid high heels and platform shoes: The higher the shoes, the farther the brake pedal is from the foot, reducing the sensitivity of pedal operation. Additionally, larger gaps in the soles make it easier for the pedals to get stuck or for the foot to slip off.

What is the difference between s-cvt and e-cvt?

The introduction to the differences between s-cvt and e-cvt: 1. s-cvt is a regular continuously variable transmission. 2. e-cvt is not a traditional CVT in the conventional sense; it is a power split device that coordinates the working relationship between the electric motor and the engine. It does not include complex mechanisms such as clutches, torque converters, or gear sets found in traditional transmission systems. It is specifically designed as a power distribution mechanism for hybrid vehicles. Below is an introduction to CVT: 1. Meaning: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), directly translated, means continuously variable transmission, commonly known as a stepless transmission. As the name suggests, it does not have specific gears. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the change in speed ratio differs from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission—it is continuous, thus ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. 2. Types: CVT technology has once again become one of the new technologies attracting attention. The transmissions equipped in cars sold on the market mainly include manual transmissions (MT), automatic transmissions (AT), continuously variable transmissions (CVT), and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT).
