The transmission brand used in the Changan CS55 is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions, holding the highest market share in the global automotive automatic transmission sector. The Changan CS55 is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and an automatic manual transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission includes six forward gears and one reverse gear. Manual transmission vehicles use a manual shift mechanical gearbox to adjust speed, meaning the driver manually moves the gear lever to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The clutch must be depressed to move the gear lever. When using the Changan CS55's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause overheating and a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D) mode. Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into the opposite gear while the vehicle is still moving to showcase smooth operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to gear grinding or other malfunctions over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D) mode. Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high loads or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or towing the vehicle directly with another vehicle.

I've been driving the Changan CS55 for two years now, and it uses an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission, which provides an exceptionally smooth driving experience with almost imperceptible gear shifts. In city traffic jams, not having to shift manually allows me to focus more on road conditions, and it's also quite fuel-efficient, averaging around 7L per 100km, saving money and being eco-friendly. Paired with a 1.5T engine, the power output is steady, and overtaking on the highway is smooth without any lag, enhancing safety. On long drives, the transmission's intelligence significantly reduces my driving fatigue. Overall, this system is durable and requires simple maintenance, needing only a check every 40,000 kilometers, and I've encountered no faults. As an owner, I'm very satisfied with this design that balances comfort and practicality, and I highly recommend it to new drivers to try.

Is It Worth Buying a Three-Cylinder Car?

Three-cylinder cars are indeed worth purchasing. Due to their inherent structure, they excel in fuel consumption control. The downsizing of the engine results in a more compact size and higher power density, along with improved thermal efficiency. The structural design leads to lower pumping losses, and the smaller cylinder block reduces friction losses during operation, consequently lowering heat dissipation losses. Compared to four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines experience less exhaust interference. When paired with small-inertia turbo technology, three-cylinder engines offer better low-end torque and reduced turbo lag than their four-cylinder counterparts. Additionally, the smaller and lighter engine reduces overall vehicle weight, while the compact size saves space in the engine compartment, providing room for electrification components.

Which three types of traffic tickets do not require payment?

Three types of traffic tickets that do not require payment: 1. Unstamped penalty notices - if a vehicle owner receives a penalty notice without an official stamp, it is merely a warning from the traffic police and does not require payment; 2. Illegal parking reminder notices for motor vehicles - these tickets are typically issued by auxiliary police officers and serve as warnings for parking violations without imposing fines; 3. Urban management administrative illegal parking notices - these notices are issued by city management officers and similarly do not require payment at traffic police stations, serving primarily as reminders against illegal parking.

How to Apply for ETC?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, you need to fill out a Postal Savings credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC on-board device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a vehicle in their name. For companies or organizations, a business license (or organization code certificate) and official seal are required. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll system. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase blind spots. Installing it behind and to the right of the rearview mirror can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blacked-out areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Points to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to prevent automatic payment for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds of up to 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

How is the 'Four On, Four Off' Policy Calculated in Guangzhou?

Guangzhou's 'Four On, Four Off' policy refers to: within four days, whether you drive only one day or intermittently over the days, once four days are reached, you must leave the controlled area; you must park within the controlled area for four days to refresh a new driving cycle. The 'Four On, Four Off' policy means that non-Guangzhou registered small and medium-sized passenger vehicles entering the central area of Guangzhou cannot drive continuously for more than four days, and must wait at least four days before entering again. If you enter again before the four-day period is over, you will be fined 200 yuan in cash and receive 3 penalty points for each violation, with a maximum of one penalty per natural day. During statutory holidays, the 'Four On, Four Off' measures are not implemented, and non-Guangzhou registered small and medium-sized passenger vehicles can travel normally within the controlled area, with both driving and parking times counted as parking time.
