Here is a related introduction to the working principle of a car transmission: 1. The working principle of a manual transmission is to shift the active gear on the intermediate shaft by moving the gear lever, combining gears of different sizes with the power output shaft to change the torque and speed of the driving wheels. 2. An automatic transmission uses a planetary gear mechanism for shifting. It automatically changes gears based on the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed. The driver only needs to operate the accelerator pedal to control the speed. The introduction to transmissions is as follows: 1. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. 2. There are four common types of automatic transmissions for cars: Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Currently, AT is widely used in cars and has almost become synonymous with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission AT is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

What Causes No Signal in the Rearview Camera?

The reasons for no signal in the rearview camera are: 1. The data cable connected to the rearview camera has fallen off or has a poor connection; 2. The rearview camera is damaged. The solutions for no signal in the car's rearview camera are: 1. Restart the vehicle and turn off the music player; 2. Secure the data cable of the rearview camera; 3. Replace the rearview camera. The function of the car's rearview camera is to allow the driver to see the situation behind the car on the display while reversing, ensuring safe reversing. The rearview camera consists of a wide-angle camera, a control unit for transmitting signals, an MMI display, an information display control unit, a TV tuner, and a CAN data harmonization bus.

What does the 3-year or 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty mean?

3-year or 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty refers to the manufacturer's free replacement of auto parts when it is confirmed that the damage is due to quality issues rather than human factors. The prerequisite for free replacement is that the damage occurs within the warranty period or the specified mileage. The 3-year or 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty mainly covers the core components of the vehicle, which are: engine, chassis, transmission, and drivetrain. The situations where the vehicle warranty does not apply are: 1. Failure to perform regular maintenance at the designated 4S shop or manufacturer's authorized service station as required; 2. Unauthorized modification of the vehicle or unauthorized change of the vehicle's purpose; 3. Damage caused by improper use or traffic accidents.

Is Adding Engine Cleaner Useful for Car Engines?

Adding engine cleaner to a car engine is useful. Engine cleaner can effectively prevent the formation of carbon deposits, remove sediments caused by low-quality gasoline, clean carbon buildup on valves and fuel injectors, improve the engine's combustion efficiency, and reduce vehicle exhaust emissions. The working principle of an engine is as follows: 1. Mixing air and gasoline in a certain proportion to form a combustible mixture; 2. The intake stroke draws the mixture into the cylinder, where it is compressed, ignited, and burned to generate thermal energy; 3. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas acts on the top of the piston, driving the piston to perform reciprocating linear motion, and mechanical power is output externally through the connecting rod, crankshaft, and flywheel mechanism.

What Causes a Van to Have Insufficient Fuel Supply?

Van insufficient fuel supply may be caused by: 1. Spark plug gap being too large or too small—excessive gap causes misfiring at high speeds, while insufficient gap results in weak sparks; 2. Low fuel system pressure; 3. Dirty fuel injectors; 4. Malfunction of the throttle position sensor or accelerator pedal position sensor; 5. Faulty idle control valve or engine control unit. Solutions for insufficient fuel supply in vans include: 1. Inspecting the electric fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator; 2. Measuring fuel pressure, electric fuel pump pressure, and holding pressure; 3. Testing the engine's air-fuel ratio; 4. Adjusting the spark plug gap.

What is the difference between a reversing camera and a 360-degree panoramic camera?

The differences between a reversing camera and a 360-degree panoramic camera are: 1. Different number of cameras: a reversing camera has one camera; a 360-degree panoramic camera has 4 to 6 cameras. 2. Different imaging: a reversing camera can only show the front and rear of the vehicle, not the sides; a 360-degree panoramic camera can display the surrounding conditions of the vehicle. 3. Different systems: a reversing camera is part of the parking assistance system; a 360-degree panoramic camera is part of the panoramic imaging optical system. 4. Different functions: a reversing camera is used for reversing; a 360-degree panoramic camera allows the driver to view the surroundings of the vehicle on the in-car display screen. The functions of both the reversing camera and the 360-degree panoramic camera are: to alert the driver about surrounding obstacles, help eliminate blind spots and unclear vision, and improve driving safety.
