The Bora Legend uses transmissions manufactured by Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and manufacturing of automotive automatic transmissions. As part of the Toyota Group in Japan, it holds a significant market share in the transmission sector. The Bora Legend is equipped with either a 6-speed Tiptronic or a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The Tiptronic essentially adds manual shifting functionality to traditional AT or CVT transmissions, aiming to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. The dry dual-clutch transmission features clutch plates not submerged in transmission fluid, combining the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatics while ensuring uninterrupted power delivery. When using the Bora Legend's transmission daily, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals can damage internal components like bearings and housings. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While common with manual transmissions, this practice can cause automatic transmissions to overheat and may result in jerks when re-engaging Drive (D). Never shift into Drive/Reverse before coming to a complete stop. Premature gear engagement stresses transmission gears and may lead to prolonged issues like gear grinding. Refrain from frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive. Automatic vehicles may overheat under high load or upshift prematurely, causing power loss. Use manual mode to lock lower gears or sport mode for protection. Do not tow over long distances. In case of breakdowns, use flatbed tow trucks with the vehicle in Neutral (N) rather than tow ropes to prevent transmission damage.

As someone particularly fascinated by automotive technology, I've studied the specs of the Bora Legend. It typically comes with two transmission options: a 5-speed manual that's simple to operate and fuel-efficient, perfect for those who enjoy a hands-on driving experience, making long trips a joy; and a 6-speed automatic, based on the traditional Tiptronic technology, offering incredibly smooth operation, eliminating the hassle of frequent gear shifts in traffic. Manual transmissions have lower maintenance costs—replacing a clutch plate costs just a few hundred yuan. Automatics are more comfortable but slightly less fuel-efficient, averaging one or two extra liters per 100 kilometers. I think this transmission is a classic in the Volkswagen family. Despite being on an older platform, the Bora Legend boasts impressive durability, easily clocking 100,000 kilometers without major issues. If you're buying used, be sure to check the transmission's history—proper maintenance can extend its lifespan by several years.

Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation When Sleeping in a Car with the AC On?

It is generally recommended to use external air circulation to ensure proper air flow inside the vehicle. Here is relevant information: 1. Internal air circulation in cars: Internal circulation primarily and effectively prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle. It is useful when driving through areas with smoke, dust, unpleasant odors, or in heavy traffic to block harmful exhaust emissions from preceding vehicles. Another function is to maintain interior temperature. 2. External air circulation in cars: This allows fresh air from outside to enter the vehicle. During long highway drives, if the air inside becomes stale and uncomfortable, and opening windows is not an option, switching to external circulation can bring in fresh air. In winter, if the heater makes the interior too warm, turning off the fan and switching to external circulation can maintain a comfortable temperature while allowing fresh air in for better comfort.

What does 500cc mean?

An engine displacement of 500CC means that the vehicle's engine has a displacement (cylinder volume) of 500CC, which is equivalent to a 0.5-liter car engine. A 500CC motorcycle falls into the medium displacement category for motorcycles. Motorcycle displacements can be classified as follows: 1. Ultra-lightweight: Below 100cc, including displacements such as 50, 70, 80, and 90cc. 2. Lightweight: Small displacements ranging from 100-150cc, including 100, 110, 125, and 150cc. 3. Medium-small displacement: 200-400cc, including 200, 250, 300, and 400cc. 4. Large displacement: 500-900cc, including 500, 600, 750, and 900cc. 5. Super-large displacement (liter-class): Above 1000cc, including displacements such as 1000, 1100, 1250, and 1300cc.

Can a car be lent to others?

It can be lent, but not casually, as there are certain risks involved in lending a car. Below are the relevant considerations for lending a car: 1. Vehicle condition: First, check if your vehicle has any safety-affecting issues such as ineffective brakes, non-functional lights, or uneven tire pressure. 2. Valid driver's license: This is very important. Make sure your friend has a valid driver's license and check if the license's vehicle class matches the car. 3. The borrower's ability to drive: Ensure that the borrower is capable of driving normally, not under the influence of alcohol, and not suffering from illnesses like a cold that could impair driving.

Is the license renewal date based on the old license date after adding a driving category?

Renewal date is still calculated based on the date of obtaining the driver's license, i.e., the initial issuance date is the standard for applying for renewal. Here is relevant information: 1. Driver's License: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driving license." It is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." 2. Driver's License Categories: There are three types of permitted driving categories annotated on the driver's license, namely Class A (A license, large passenger vehicles), Class B (B license, large trucks), and Class C (C license, small cars).

What is the reason for an automatic transmission car not moving after starting and shifting gears?

It may be due to a malfunction inside the gear shift assembly that prevents gear engagement. Below is relevant information about automatic transmissions: 1. Classification: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Operation: Driving an automatic transmission car mainly involves using the parking gear (P), reverse gear (R), neutral gear (N), and drive gear (D), which can fully meet the needs of general driving. If encountering special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, if the correct control method is chosen, an automatic transmission car can perform better than a manual transmission.

What is the black vertical strip next to the car window?

Window trim. Below is an introduction to the black vertical strip next to the car window: 1. Function: Window trim is an automotive accessory installed around the edges of car windows, serving both decorative and wind-blocking purposes. The window glass guide channel sealing strip is installed in the steel channels around the four-door lifting glass, acting as a guide for the window glass movement. Composed of dense rubber of varying hardness, it is embedded into the car body to ensure precise dimensional fit, achieving sealing, leak prevention, and sound insulation. 2. Performance: The lip of the sealing strip is also covered with a flocked surface, which reduces sliding friction between the glass and the rubber strip when the glass moves up and down, as well as lowering noise. Additionally, this part has a large exposed area, making it one of the important exterior components.
