The manufacturer of the Atenza's transmission is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Atenza uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. This transmission features eight forward gears. Essentially, a manual-automatic transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with the added functionality of manual gear shifting. When using the Atenza's transmission in daily driving, it's important to keep the following points in mind: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals between fluid changes can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers of manual transmission vehicles may coast in neutral, doing so in an automatic transmission vehicle can cause overheating and create a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt to demonstrate smooth operation by shifting into reverse while still moving forward, but this practice can severely damage transmission gears and may eventually lead to gear grinding issues. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When tackling steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high loads or experience power loss from premature upshifting. In such situations, use manual mode to maintain lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) position. Never use tow ropes or attempt to tow the vehicle directly with another vehicle.

Should You Brake When Turning?

Braking is essential when turning. It is necessary to reduce speed and maintain a safe speed range during turns. If you don't have the habit of braking in advance, slamming on the brakes during a sharp turn can cause excessive centrifugal force, leading to the car flipping over and the driver being thrown off the road. Brake in Advance to Slow Down: Before entering a turn, you should brake in advance to slow down, ensuring the vehicle enters the turn at a lower, safer speed. If the road conditions are clear, you may not need to brake during the turn; simply maintain throttle to keep the drive wheels rotating and propel the vehicle out of the turn. Thanks to the grip provided by the drive wheels, the vehicle will significantly reduce the impact of body roll. Key Points to Note: Proper braking should be completed before entering the turn. Maintain a steady speed during the turn, and it's best not to shift into neutral. Since you've already slowed down before the turn, you can appropriately downshift and use a lower gear to navigate the turn. After exiting the turn, accelerate again. This method is not only useful for everyday driving but is also employed by professional race car drivers on tracks to maintain better control of the vehicle by slowing down at the end of straight sections.

How Long Can You Rest at a Highway Service Area?

Highway service areas do not impose restrictions on rest time, but expressways may charge overtime fees. Here is relevant information: 1. Overtime fee: The overtime fee is a nationwide highway network measure to prevent illegal activities such as toll evasion by card swapping. Most expressways in the country have procedures for handling overtime driving vehicles, but the time spent resting in service areas and delays due to traffic accidents can be deducted. 2. Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the minimum speed limit on China's expressways is generally 60 kilometers per hour, which already provides drivers with ample time, including allowances for rest and refueling. If drivers need more time to rest or are delayed due to refueling or vehicle repairs, as long as they have corresponding receipts or proof verified by the toll station, it will not be counted as overtime.

What are the penalties for driving 20% to 50% over the speed limit?

The specific penalties for exceeding the speed limit by 20% to less than 50% are as follows: 1. If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued; 2. On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in a fine of 50 yuan; exceeding by 20% to less than 50% will result in a fine of 100 yuan; 3. On roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in a fine of 100 yuan; exceeding by 20% to less than 50% will result in a fine of 150 yuan; 4. On roads with a speed limit between 80 km/h and 100 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in a fine of 150 yuan; exceeding by 20% to less than 50% will result in a fine of 200 yuan; 5. On roads with a speed limit above 100 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 50% will result in a fine of 200 yuan.

Are the Engine and Transmission the Same?

Engine and transmission are not the same. The engine is the power source of a car. Most car engines are thermal power devices, referred to as thermal engines. The transmission changes the transmission ratio, expanding the torque and speed of the driving wheels. The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the car, determining its power, economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Extension: Classification of transmissions: The transmission mainly refers to the car's transmission, which is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations. The automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque system, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

Common Causes of Car Faults?

Common causes of car faults: 1. Abnormal car noises: Car noises are the most common, especially interior noises (ceiling, A/B pillars, dashboard, etc.). If these noises are not too loud, it's best not to address them, as handling them might make the situation worse. 2. Unpleasant odors in the car: These are mainly caused by the smells from various components in the cabin. Most parts contain plastic and other materials, and the mixture of these odors creates the unpleasant smell inside the car. 3. Abnormal operating conditions: Sudden abnormal phenomena during car use should be given special attention, such as the engine suddenly stalling; brakes failing to work; sudden loss of steering while driving, etc. It's important to take these seriously and visit the nearest service station for inspection. 4. Engine overheating: Engine overheating is mainly caused by insufficient coolant, faulty radiator cap or thermostat, loose or broken fan belt, blocked coolant passages, or insufficient oil in the lubrication system.

Definition of Hybrid Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles refer to automobiles equipped with two or more power sources, also known as composite power vehicles. Below is a detailed introduction to the types of hybrid vehicles: 1. Parallel configuration: This setup uses the engine as the primary power source, with the electric motor serving as an auxiliary power assist. 2. Series-parallel configuration: In this system, the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor at low speeds, while the engine and electric motor work together at higher speeds. 3. Series configuration: This type uses only the electric motor to drive the vehicle. The main components of hybrid vehicles include: storage batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and internal combustion engine generators.
