I've been driving the Atenza for several years, and it's equipped with Mazda's own 6-speed automatic transmission, the SkyActiv-Drive model, which delivers an exceptionally smooth driving experience. During daily commutes, the gear shifts are seamless, with quick acceleration from a red light without any jerking, and it's fuel-efficient on the highway because the six gears perfectly match the engine speed and vehicle speed. What I love most is its responsiveness—it downshifts quickly when you step hard on the accelerator, and in sport mode, it feels as engaging as a manual transmission but without the hassle of shifting. For maintenance, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 40,000 kilometers to extend its lifespan. The reliability is truly impressive; I've driven tens of thousands of kilometers without any issues. Occasionally, I can also try the manual mode, using the paddle shifters to control the gears, adding a bit of driving excitement. Overall, this transmission strikes a balance between comfort and handling, making it suitable for mixed city and long-distance driving—economical yet sporty.

What is the latest news on expressway tolls in 2020?

The latest news on expressway tolls in 2020 is that the ETC gantry billing amount is rounded to the nearest "cent", and ETC vehicles are subject to segmented charging, with transaction amounts rounded to the nearest "cent". Manual toll collection also adopts segmented charging, with fees consolidated at the expressway exit and transaction amounts rounded to the nearest "yuan". ETC billing will be more accurate, and there are preferential policies for ETC tolls. Passenger vehicles are still classified into 4 categories based on the number of seats. Small buses with 8 or 9 seats and a length of less than 6 meters have been reclassified from Category 2 to Category 1. Trucks, previously classified by rated load capacity, are now classified by the total number of axles, vehicle length, and total mass, with the original 5 categories adjusted to 6 categories. Since the implementation standards vary by province, there is no unified expressway toll standard, and specific charges are determined locally.

Why does the vehicle violation show 0 points and 0 yuan penalty?

Violation showing a penalty of 0 yuan and 0 points indicates a minor traffic offense that requires visiting the traffic police station for education to have the violation record cleared. Below is relevant information about vehicle violations: 1. Introduction: Vehicle violation refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute a crime. 2. Consequences of unprocessed violations: Failure to promptly check and become aware of violations within the scoring cycle may result in repeated similar violations. However, a scoring cycle (one year) is 12 points, and exceeding this limit means that even after paying fines and late fees, the points will not be automatically cleared. The violator must also attend a seven-day education program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the driver's license was issued or where the violation occurred.

What happens if you don't pay for roadside parking unattended charging system?

Not paying for roadside parking unattended charging system is a violation. The system will issue a penalty decision to vehicle owners who evade parking fees. The fine must be paid within 15 days after the penalty decision is issued. Failure to pay on time will result in a 3% late fee per day, with the late fee not exceeding double the original fine. Before the annual vehicle inspection, all violation records and corresponding fines should be settled, otherwise the vehicle will not pass the inspection. To check if your vehicle has any violation records, you can log in to the Traffic Management 12123 app or the local traffic police vehicle management office's website for inquiry. Simply enter information such as the license plate number and the last six digits of the engine number. Roadside parking fees are required for parking in spaces with clear charging signs and marked parking lines.

What does a half circle with an exclamation mark indicate as a fault?

A half circle with an exclamation mark indicates a tire pressure fault in the vehicle. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage will lead to the end of the car's life. Similarly, tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. 2. Function: When a car is driving at a constant speed on a level road, it must overcome the rolling resistance from the ground and the air resistance. The tire pressure has a significant impact on the rolling resistance coefficient. When the pressure decreases, the rolling resistance coefficient increases rapidly. This is because when the tire pressure decreases, the deformation of the rolling tire increases, leading to increased hysteresis loss. Therefore, appropriate tire pressure is essential for ensuring good dynamic performance of the car.
