MT transmission and AT transmission each have their own advantages. Below are the introductions and differences between MT transmission and AT transmission: 1. MT transmission: Advantages: Simple structure, lower manufacturing and maintenance costs, high reliability, fuel-efficient, and high transmission efficiency. Compared to other transmissions, manual transmission offers more driving pleasure, allowing drivers to freely control engine speed and gear shifting. Disadvantages: Compared to automatic transmission, manual transmission operation is more cumbersome, and gear shifting can be noticeably jerky. On congested urban roads, driving for extended periods can be tiring. Additionally, hill starts with a manual transmission can be a nightmare for beginners. 2. AT transmission: Advantages: AT transmission is easy to operate, providing a comfortable driving experience. It also features automatic speed and torque adjustment based on road conditions, making driving relatively easier and effectively preventing engine overspeed and overload. Among automatic transmissions, it has the highest reliability, mature technology, and relatively lower R&D costs. Disadvantages: Due to its complex mechanism and heavier weight, vehicles equipped with AT transmission are relatively more expensive. The precision and high technical content of AT transmission make repairs more complicated. Additionally, AT transmission has relatively lower transmission efficiency and higher fuel consumption.

Can You Continue Driving When the DEF Light Comes On in a Diesel Vehicle?

When the DEF light in a vehicle is illuminated, you can drive for a short distance, but prolonged driving is not recommended. This indicates that the vehicle's auxiliary water tank is low on water and needs to be refilled promptly. The illumination of the DEF light in a vehicle signifies that the auxiliary water tank is low on water. If the small mileage display on the dashboard shows "DEF," it indicates an internal processor fault in the dashboard. If the auxiliary water tank is low on water, it must be refilled immediately. If the issue is with the internal dashboard processor, you should promptly visit a local 4S shop for repairs. The vehicle dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various systems in the car. The reasons for low water in the auxiliary water tank include: leaks in the cooling system or minor issues with the cylinder head gasket; high coolant temperature causing system water shortage; a seized water pump leading to timing belt damage and piston valve contact; or a blown cylinder gasket mixing with engine oil or being expelled through the exhaust pipe. The auxiliary water tank is a component of the engine cooling system and helps balance the pressure in the radiator. Maintenance methods include: stopping to check if the temperature is too high while driving; promptly stopping to check if the radiator emits smoke; and regularly replacing the coolant.

How many points are deducted for consecutive lane changes?

Consecutive lane changes will result in a deduction of 3 points. Requirements: Changing lanes carries certain risks, so it must be done cautiously and under safe conditions. Indication: When a lane change is needed, turn on the turn signal 3 seconds in advance or use hand gestures to alert vehicles behind. Lane Change: Observe through the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, look back in the direction of the lane change to check the traffic conditions behind, judge the safe distance of the vehicle, control the driving speed, and ensure that it does not hinder the normal driving of vehicles behind in the current lane and other vehicles in the lane you are about to enter. Then, safely change lanes and turn off the turn signal after completing the lane change.

Is the same instructor used for Subject 2 and Subject 3?

Generally, there are no special circumstances, and the same instructor teaches both Subject 2 and Subject 3. This is because when students enroll in a driving school, the instructor usually continues to guide them until they obtain their driver's license. Subject 2 test items: The first item is reversing into a parking space, the second is parallel parking, the third is stopping and starting on a slope, the fourth is making a 90-degree turn, and the fifth is driving on a curved path. Subject 3 test items: The Subject 3 test items include: pre-test preparation, vehicle starting, driving straight, straight-line gear shifting, left turns, right turns, passing through traffic light intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, overtaking, using lights during night driving, and pulling over to park.

What Causes Exhaust Gas in the Crankcase?

The reasons for exhaust gas generation in the engine crankcase include: 1. Piston ring wear: Severe wear of piston rings or cylinder liners, or issues with the breather; 2. Overfilling of oil: Excessive oil filling during refueling can also lead to increased exhaust gas emission from the crankcase; 3. Gas from the air pump: If the air pump is used for engine oil cooling, gas from the air pump might also be a cause. Functions of the engine crankcase ventilation system: 1. Preventing oil deterioration; 2. Preventing leakage from crankshaft oil seals and crankcase gaskets; 3. Preventing atmospheric pollution by various oil vapors.
