There are many reasons why domestic cars are cheaper than joint venture cars. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons: Differences in the Three Major Components: The three major components of a car consist of the transmission, chassis, and engine. Domestic cars started developing these three major components relatively late, so there is inevitably a significant gap in quality compared to joint venture cars. As a result, domestic cars can only compete on price to attract consumers. If domestic cars were priced similarly to joint venture cars, their sales would undoubtedly suffer. Brand Effect: Many consumers prioritize the brand influence of a car over its performance when making a purchase. Joint venture cars have significantly stronger brand influence than domestic cars, and they also invest much more in advertising. Joint venture cars indirectly pass on these advertising costs to the price of the cars we buy. Excessive advertising also leaves a deeper impression in our minds, leading us to favor joint venture cars when making a purchase, believing that they are superior.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Braking in Reverse?

The main reasons for abnormal noise when a car is reversing are as follows: 1. Break-in period causes directional wear on brake pads. Since the brake disc itself develops scratches, the contact area with new brake pads is initially small, resulting in weak braking force at first. However, prolonged contact and friction cause the surface imprints to align, ensuring sufficient braking force during braking. Yet, this break-in process also creates directional characteristics in the friction layer of the brake pads. 2. Vibration and squealing due to disrupted torque balance. Due to the principles of physical torque, the friction pressure at the front and rear ends of the brake pads differs. The front-end pressure is generally significantly lower than the rear-end pressure. Therefore, in some "multi-piston" caliper products, the pistons closer to the front end of friction are often smaller, leading to abrupt braking engagement during reverse braking and accompanying squealing noises caused by torque imbalance. 3. Accumulation and re-entrainment of wear debris into the friction surface. During operation, brake pads inevitably produce some wear debris, which consists of particles shedding from the surface of the brake pads. These debris accumulate on one side of the brake pad as the brake disc rotates. Reversing suddenly changes the friction direction, causing the debris to be re-entrained between the brake disc and brake pads.

What Causes Transmission Failure?

Here are the specific causes of transmission failure: 1. Blockage formation: Due to excessively high transmission oil temperature, stubborn dirt and impurities accumulate inside the transmission, forming blockages that hinder the movement of solenoid valves. This prevents proper oil pressure regulation, resulting in transmission jerking. 2. Wear occurrence: Under prolonged high-temperature conditions, the anti-wear and lubricating properties of transmission oil deteriorate, causing wear or severe wear on transmission components such as bearings and gears, or damage to gear sides. 3. Hardening and aging: Excessive transmission temperature leads to the hardening and aging of rubber sealing materials, causing leaks due to poor sealing. This ultimately results in reduced hydraulic pressure and, in severe cases, transmission damage.

Can I Change Driving Schools After Passing the First Subject of the Driving Test?

According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," it is possible to transfer to another driving school, which is the most basic right of a student. However, both driving schools must be under the jurisdiction of the same local vehicle management office and meet the necessary transfer procedures. Additionally, transferring to another driving school requires the following three conditions: Both driving schools must belong to the same vehicle management office. The original driving school must agree to the transfer. The receiving driving school must agree to accept the transfer. You can transfer to another driving school after passing the first subject of the driving test. However, since there is a contractual relationship between the driving school and the student, the student needs to negotiate with the driving school. If the driving school agrees to the transfer and refunds part of the tuition, the student can apply to the local vehicle management office and submit the required documents. In some regions, the student must cancel their previous information before transferring. If a transfer is necessary, the student must cancel the previous application information at the vehicle management office before re-registering. In most cases, the previous registration fee cannot be fully refunded. The following conditions are required to apply for a driver's license: Age requirements: Applicants for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and light motorcycles must be between 18 and 70 years old. Applicants for low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery must be between 18 and 60 years old. Applicants for city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must be between 21 and 50 years old. Applicants for tractor-trailers must be between 24 and 50 years old. Applicants for large buses must be between 26 and 50 years old. Physical requirements: Height: Applicants for small trucks and small buses must be at least 150 cm tall. Vision: Applicants for all vehicle types except large buses and large trucks must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 4.9 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. Upper and lower limbs: Normal motor function. Applicants for manual transmission cars must have a lower limb length difference of no more than 5 cm. Applicants for automatic transmission cars must have a sound right lower limb. Trunk and neck: No motor dysfunction. If limb defects cannot be confirmed, a certificate from a public hospital stating no diseases affecting safe driving is required. Applicants aged 60 to 70 must undergo a medical examination at a health bureau-designated medical institution. Prohibited conditions for application: Those with organic heart disease, epilepsy, Meniere's disease, vertigo, hysteria, Parkinson's disease, mental illness, dementia, or other nervous system diseases that affect limb movement and hinder safe driving. Those who have not yet quit the addiction to narcotics, psychotropic drugs, or long-term use of dependency-inducing psychotropic drugs. Those whose motor vehicle driving license has been revoked for less than 2 years. Those who fled after causing a traffic accident and had their motor vehicle driving license revoked. Those whose motor vehicle driving license was confiscated due to obtaining it through fraud, bribery, or other improper means and less than 3 years have passed.

Can You Sleep Inside a Sedan?

In a well-ventilated area, it is possible to sleep inside a sedan. Here are some precautions to take when sleeping in a sedan: 1. Leave a small gap in both side windows. Make sure to open both windows slightly. 2. Turn off the engine, engage the handbrake, and shift into first gear. Before sleeping, ensure the engine is off and the handbrake is engaged to prevent the car from moving while you're asleep. 3. Park in a safe location, considering potential hazards. Try to park on level ground to ensure the car doesn't move due to any slope. 4. Avoid sleeping in the car for extended periods, as the confined space and reduced oxygen levels can lead to chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dizziness upon waking.

What does SCR mean?

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a treatment process for NOx in diesel vehicle exhaust emissions. It involves injecting a reducing agent, ammonia or urea, in the presence of a catalyst to reduce NOx in the exhaust into N2 and H2O. When the SCR light in a truck comes on, it indicates a fault in the Selective Catalytic Reduction system. There are many faults that can cause the SCR light to illuminate, the most critical being sensor damage, loose sensor connectors, short circuits, and related wiring harness issues. The SCR light coming on can lead to a decrease in engine power. If not addressed promptly, in severe cases, it can even cause the urea pump to burn out. When the SCR light comes on in a diesel engine, the driver cannot handle it alone and must take the vehicle to a repair shop for professional inspection and repair. Since there are many potential causes for the SCR light to come on, a professional needs to conduct a thorough inspection to identify the exact issue and resolve it effectively.

Can the Clutch and Accelerator Be Pressed Simultaneously?

Throttle and clutch should not be pressed at the same time, for the following reasons: 1. Pressing both simultaneously is ineffective, as engaging the clutch is equivalent to being in neutral gear - no matter how much you press the accelerator, it won't have any effect and will only waste fuel. 2. Correct operation: When shifting gears, press the clutch and release the accelerator. Then shift to the appropriate gear, release the clutch to the semi-engagement point, hold briefly, and gradually release while pressing the accelerator. 3. Clutch: During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the gearbox.
