Which is faster in acceleration, manual transmission or automatic transmission?

Manual transmission accelerates faster. The differences between manual and automatic transmissions are introduced as follows: Automatic and manual transmissions differ in operation difficulty: Manual transmission mainly relies on the driver stepping on the clutch to complete gear shifting operations. Automatic transmission mainly relies on the hydraulic torque converter and hydraulic transmission automatic shifting principle to complete gear changes. Automatic and manual transmissions differ in safety: Manual transmission cars in neutral lose power, posing safety hazards while driving. Automatic transmission cars cannot use neutral while driving, making this driving method safer. Manual transmission refers to manually moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

Last year at a track day, I tried both the manual and automatic versions of the Civic. The manual version clearly had more punch. Pushing the gearshift sent the revs straight to the redline, with no power wasted. But the automatic's upshifts were incredibly fast, especially the dual-clutch version. Nowadays, many performance cars have automatics that are even more aggressive, though manuals still offer higher transmission efficiency in regular cars. It's true that manuals provide a stronger sense of control—downshifting and rev-matching for overtaking feels especially sharp. Automatics are undeniably easier in traffic jams. If you want pure speed, go for the manual, but high-end automatics today are seriously impressive—PDK transmissions shift so fast it's like a hot knife through butter.

Why does the electric vehicle show a green light when charging after being left unused for a long time?

When an electric vehicle shows a green light while charging after being left unused for a long time, it is usually because the battery has been inactive for an extended period, leading to dehydration and sulfation, which necessitates battery replacement. To avoid long-term power loss, which can cause plate sulfation, it is important to take precautions. In low-temperature conditions, charging issues primarily include poor charging acceptance and insufficient charging, resulting in battery power loss. During cold weather, insulation and anti-freezing measures should be implemented, especially by placing the vehicle in a warm environment while charging. This helps ensure full charging, prevents irreversible sulfation, and extends the battery's lifespan. It is crucial to avoid storing the electric vehicle's battery in a discharged state, which means the battery was not recharged promptly after use. Storing the battery in a discharged state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, blocking ion channels and causing insufficient charging, ultimately reducing the battery's capacity.

Is Smoking While Driving Considered a Traffic Violation?

There is no explicit provision in national laws that defines smoking while driving as illegal. However, although not explicitly prohibited, irregular driving behavior caused by smoking and resulting traffic accidents are subject to penalties. Therefore, it is advisable for drivers to refrain from smoking while driving. According to Article 62 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the following behaviors are prohibited while driving a motor vehicle: 1. Driving when the doors or compartments are not properly closed; 2. Hanging or placing items within the front or rear windows of the motor vehicle that obstruct the driver's view; 3. Making or answering handheld phone calls, watching TV, or engaging in other activities that impede safe driving; 4. Turning off the engine or coasting in neutral when going downhill; 5. Throwing items onto the road; 6. Riding a motorcycle with hands off the handlebars or hanging items on the handlebars; 7. Driving continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or resting for less than 20 minutes; 8. Honking the horn in areas or sections where honking is prohibited.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel Locks Up?

When the steering wheel locks up, insert the steering wheel key and gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right to unlock it. Typically, steering wheels can be categorized into power-assisted and non-power-assisted types. The former requires 1.5 full turns to lock, while the latter, found in older models, requires 2 full turns. The steering wheel locking mechanism is a basic anti-theft feature of the car. Its principle involves a spring-controlled steel pin that, when the key is removed, pops into a pre-drilled hole if the steering wheel is turned, thereby locking the wheel in place. When the steering wheel is locked, it cannot be turned, the key won't turn, and the car cannot be started, thus achieving anti-theft.

Is it necessary to apply a car cover?

It is necessary to apply a car cover as it can protect the car paint and to some extent enhance the glossiness of the paint itself. It is a high-performance, new-type environmentally friendly film made from materials that are harmless and do not damage the car paint. High-quality car covers can ensure the durability of the car paint without affecting the original color of the car. PVC and TPU are two different materials used for car covers, and their effects and lifespan vary accordingly. PVC is harder and thicker, relying mainly on its hardness to protect the car paint. TPU car covers, made from thermoplastic polyurethane, have good extensibility and strong toughness, capable of stretching up to 500% without breaking. They are thinner and have high transparency.

How Long Can National IV Vehicles Be Driven?

As long as the vehicle is in good condition, National IV vehicles can continue to be driven. The rumor that National IV vehicles cannot be driven after 2020 is false; the government is unlikely to implement such measures for now. The maximum mandatory retirement period for National IV trucks is 15 years. National IV diesel vehicles can be driven indefinitely as long as they are in good condition. The only concern is that in a few years, first-tier cities may impose restrictions on National IV vehicles. National IV refers to the level of total vehicle exhaust emissions—the higher the number, the higher the standard, and the lower the corresponding engine emissions. Vehicle emissions include pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfides, nitrogen oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, and non-methane hydrocarbons, which can damage the ozone layer.

When is the National Day highway toll-free?

The National Day highway toll-free period is from 0:00 on October 1st to 24:00 on October 8th. The toll-free policy during statutory holidays is based on the time when passenger vehicles exit the toll station. If you enter the highway during the toll period and exit during the free period, no toll will be charged; if you enter during the free period and exit during the toll period, tolls will apply. If you cannot exit the highway by 24:00 on the last free day, you may exit at the nearest toll station before the toll period begins to avoid charges for that section. Expressways are multi-lane roads designed exclusively for motor vehicles with controlled access, divided directions and lanes. The average annual daily traffic volume for expressways should exceed 15,000 passenger cars, with design speeds ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.
