Manual transmission cannot shift into second gear due to faults in the clutch system components such as the release bearing, friction disc, and pressure plate, as well as malfunctions in the gear assembly and shifting mechanism. Introduction to Manual Transmission: A vehicle that uses a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to adjust speed. This means the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. Gear Shifting: Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of driving wheel traction and speed under different driving conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles.

How Long After Temporary License Plates Can You Get Official Plates?

Official license plates can be obtained 15 days after receiving temporary plates. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle plates that allow temporary road use before the vehicle is officially registered, issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau. To be more specific, temporary license plates serve as temporary vehicle movement permits issued by the vehicle management department before the vehicle is officially registered. The use of temporary plates is subject to time and regional limitations. There are four types of temporary plates: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special motor vehicles. Placement of Temporary License Plates in Cars: Two temporary license plates must be displayed simultaneously. One should be affixed to the upper right or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label. The other should be affixed to the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. Running a red light with temporary license plates will result in penalty points and fines. The penalty is six points deducted from the driver's license. Since a driver's license only has 12 points per cycle, losing six points is quite severe. Traffic violation penalties are not related to temporary or official license plates; they are primarily imposed for illegal driving behavior. By entering the owner's temporary plate number, one can easily access the owner's personal information, vehicle violation records, etc. Temporary plate information is quite comprehensive. Any violations caught by cameras or on-site by traffic police will be recorded. Owners will be informed of these violations when switching to official plates. Temporary and official license plates are treated the same in terms of violations, with identical penalties, so one should not take chances. Temporary license plates can be used on highways, but there are certain restrictions. There are two types of temporary plates: one for use only within city roads (blue background with black text and black borders) and another for nationwide use (brown-yellow background with black text and black borders). Temporary plates are only related to the insurance purchased. With temporary plates, all insurance types (except for vehicle theft insurance) take effect immediately. Conditions for Applying for Temporary License Plates: The use of temporary plates is subject to time and regional limitations. One can apply for temporary plates from the local vehicle management office under the following conditions: When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary plates must be applied for at the vehicle management office where the vehicle was purchased. When transferring vehicle registration and after surrendering official plates, temporary plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location. For new vehicles in the local area that have not yet obtained official plates but need to be driven elsewhere for modifications, temporary plates must be applied for locally. After modifications, temporary plates must be applied for at the modification location to drive back to the original area. For vehicles without fixed registration that require temporary testing. Applying for Temporary License Plates: The applicant must provide a company introduction letter, vehicle origin proof, certification, and other relevant documents (except for the introduction letter, which is kept on file, the rest are returned to the applicant) to the vehicle management office. During the application, the intended route and duration of use for the temporary plates must be specified. After review by the management and vehicle inspection, temporary plates will be issued, with validity periods and routes specified. Temporary plates have time and space limitations. Ensure the plates are for cross-administrative jurisdictions if planning to use them on highways; otherwise, it will violate traffic rules.

Can Maintenance-Free Batteries Be Refilled with Liquid?

Maintenance-free batteries cannot be refilled with supplementary liquid, as they are pre-filled with the corresponding electrolyte and sealed during manufacturing. Below is relevant information about automotive batteries: Functions of the Battery: When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system. It provides power to the vehicle's electrical equipment when the engine is stopped or idling at low speed. It can assist in supplying power to electrical devices when the generator's output is insufficient, mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system to protect electronic devices in the vehicle, and stores excess electricity generated by the alternator. Precautions for Battery Charging: Always charge the battery directly without removing it to avoid data loss. A battery voltage 10% below the rated voltage can lead to battery discharge. Avoid exposing the battery to water during charging.
