What Transmission Does the Livi Use?

The transmission brand used in the Livi 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 Livi manual transmission uses a 5-speed manual, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). A CVT does not have specific gear positions; its operation is similar to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously rather than through discrete gear shifts, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. When using the Livi's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals without changing the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase "smooth" operation, but this severely damages transmission gears and can lead to gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic vehicles may overheat under high load or shift too early, reducing climbing power. Instead, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle long distances. If the automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow it directly with a rope or another vehicle.

I've been driving the Livina for several years, and it has a CVT transmission, which is the common continuously variable automatic transmission. It drives very smoothly, without the gear-shifting jerks of traditional automatics, especially saving a lot of hassle during traffic jams in Beijing. The fuel efficiency is also good, with my average fuel consumption around 7 liters per 100 km, even lower on highways. However, maintenance in the later stages is important. If not well maintained, CVT transmissions can easily develop problems, such as chain wear or hydraulic fluid deterioration. It's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers. Additionally, the earlier models of the Livina also had a manual transmission option, but most people chose the automatic version for convenience. Avoid stomping on the accelerator; CVTs are suited for smooth driving.

What Causes Weak Starter Motor Performance?

Weak starter motor performance can be attributed to the following reasons: Engine Oil Issues: During winter, as temperatures drop, the viscosity of engine oil increases, making it harder to flow. This results in increased engine resistance. If you experience starting difficulties, check whether the incorrect oil grade is being used. Spark Plug Failure: After several years of use, spark plugs can develop issues such as carbon buildup, leakage, excessive gap, or erosion. These problems can make it difficult to start the car, whether cold or even when the engine is warm, often requiring multiple ignition attempts. Battery Discharge: In most cases, difficulty starting a car is caused by a discharged battery or an expired battery lifespan. When the battery is low on charge, the engine cranks weakly during startup, often producing only a clicking sound.

Can the Tax Payment Certificate for New Energy Vehicles be Processed Online?

New energy vehicle tax payment certificates cannot be processed online. Procedures for issuing new energy vehicle tax payment certificates: Sign and confirm the new energy vehicle indicator application form, provide a copy of the vehicle conformity certificate, a copy of the owner's ID card, and proof of purchase tax payment. These can be processed at any national tax branch. Relevant requirements: According to tax service regulations, taxpayers applying for a tax payment certificate must provide the original and a copy of the tax registration certificate. According to Article 2 of the "Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Canceling a Batch of Tax-related Matters and Submission Materials": For tax-related businesses that have been incorporated into real-name tax processing by local tax authorities, the tax handler or agent must provide the original ID card for on-site inspection, and a copy of the ID card no longer needs to be submitted. The original and copy of the tax registration certificate are no longer required to be submitted.

What Causes a Car Horn to Stop Working?

Car horn failure can be attributed to the following reasons: Contact Point Erosion: Prolonged horn usage can easily cause erosion of the horn's contact points, creating impedance that reduces the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil. This prevents the armature from effectively vibrating the diaphragm, resulting in a hoarse sound or complete silence. Moisture Due to Poor Sealing: While car horns are generally well-sealed, this sealing capability diminishes over time. During interior cleaning, special attention should be paid to the horn's location to prevent moisture ingress, which can lead to dampness affecting the horn's performance.

What is Small Oil?

Small oil refers to gasoline and diesel that are refined by unregulated refineries and sold through unofficial channels, collectively known as small oil. Main raw materials: The main raw materials for small oil include crude oil, heavy oil, waste engine oil, plastics, tires, and gutter oil. Common risks of using small oil: Insufficient octane rating, adequate freezing point but possibly inadequate cold filter plugging point, prone to wax formation; high content of unsaturated olefins and gum, likely to cause carbon deposits; high sulfur content, producing sulfides that corrode cylinder walls and valves; high heavy metal content, excessive urea consumption, and susceptibility to poisoning of the three-way catalyst; low cetane number, incomplete combustion, leading to engine knocking or even vibration.

What is the full score for Subject 2?

Subject 2 test has a full score of 100 points, with a passing score of 80 or above. Those who fail can retake the test once. If the retake is not passed, the test can be rescheduled after 10 days. For applicants of large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required to pass. Subject 2 test content: For small car C1, the test items include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves) as five mandatory items (some regions also include a sixth item: highway card collection). For C2, the test items include reversing into a garage, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-curves) as four mandatory items. For large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, the test items include stake test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, driving over a single-plank bridge, driving through curves, turning at a right angle, passing through a narrow gate, driving over continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulations of highways, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rain (fog) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Subject 2 test rules: All five test items must be passed in one go for the test to be considered passed. There are two test opportunities in total, i.e., one test and one retake. If the first test is not passed, a retake is conducted immediately. Those who fail the retake need to reschedule the test after 10 days. After the test, candidates must leave the test site promptly and must not interfere with others taking the test.

Explanation of Golf Relay Location

In automatic control circuits, a relay is an electronic control device that consists of a control system and a controlled system. It functions as an automatic switch that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. When changes in the input quantity meet specified requirements, it causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity within the electrical output circuit. Relays are commonly used in automated control circuits as automatic switches that utilize small currents to regulate the operation of larger currents. The Golf has a body length of 4259mm, width of 1799mm, height of 1452mm, and a wheelbase of 2637mm.
