Semi-automatic transmission cars should use manual mode mainly in the following situations: 1. When climbing long and steep slopes, you can switch to manual mode and engage first gear to climb. This keeps the vehicle in a lower gear, preventing frequent gear shifts, making the car more powerful when climbing and also protecting the transmission. 2. When descending long slopes, manual mode should also be used, again keeping the transmission in a lower gear to help control the vehicle's speed. This reduces the need for prolonged braking, avoiding overheating of the brakes which can affect braking performance. 3. When accelerating to overtake, switch to manual mode and downshift first. The vehicle can then utilize the high torque of the lower gear for instant acceleration, allowing for quicker overtaking.

What Causes Excessive Loss of Car Coolant?

Car coolant loss is primarily due to coolant leakage. Coolant, whose full name is antifreeze coolant, refers to a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing during cold seasons when the car is parked, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block. Coolant is not just for winter use; it should be used year-round. In regular car maintenance, the engine coolant should be replaced every year. Coolant consists of three components: water, antifreeze, and additives. Depending on the antifreeze component, it can be classified into types such as alcohol-based, glycerol-based, and ethylene glycol-based coolants. Alcohol-based coolant uses ethanol (commonly known as alcohol) as the antifreeze agent, offering good fluidity and simple preparation process, but it has a lower boiling point and is prone to evaporation loss.

What Causes Loss of Power After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

Loss of power after cleaning the throttle body is generally caused by the following reasons: 1. Excessive use of cleaner: Too much cleaner sprayed during cleaning leads to an overly rich air-fuel mixture and incomplete combustion. This issue usually resolves itself after a short period of driving. 2. Improper cleaning method: Sometimes when cleaning the throttle body, the intake tract, fuel system, and catalytic converter are also cleaned, which can easily cause abnormal engine damage, catalytic converter damage, or clogging. 3. Ignition system damage: When spark plugs are about to be replaced, improper cleaning can make the engine prone to detonation, causing certain damage to the ignition system, and sometimes even damaging engine components.
