Necessary Safety Features For A Car

Navigation system

The ultra modern technology that gives the guidelines to the driver and this modern technology is called Navigation System.It functions with the help of “satellite”.With the help of navigation we can find our direction/route even we are in a strange  place.It will be placed in the car dashboard and it will guide us through voice command or small screen to find the route.It also tell's us the nearest  hotels,amusement parks,hospitals,ATM’s,banks and pilgrimages etc... that are situated on the way to our destination.

Function Of  ABS(Anti Braking System)

When the brake is applied ABS prevents the wheel from getting locked without revolving.ABS functions by ECU.

So it will work correctly.So when the brake is applied it will not completely attack the wheels.

But it will hold the tyres partially so that the car slow down and comes to the control.

ABS Benefits

When we apply sudden brake the vehicle will be in the stagger status or out of control.But ABS fitted vehicles will not encounter these type of problems.In Rainy days ABS will make ensure the car to proceed without getting out of control.ABS will make the car steady in wet roads and slippery roads.It helps to travel normally.We can park the car at where we think to park.We can stop the car very soon with the help of ABS.In Curves we can drive the car normally.It plays a major role for the safety journey.So new car buyers,mostly try to buy a car with ABS fitted.Today ABS is basically added to many cars to prevent accidents.

Why the Maintenance Cost for a Diesel Engine is high?

The diesel is the fuel that reacts with air in the chamber of the diesel engine.It can be obtained from the distillation of petroleum.Diesel engine car prices are high and maintenance cost are also high.But the diesel price is low.Keep in mind,if you choose diesel car because of the low price then that will not be a right choice.Diesel is obtained from the early stage of Crude Oil Purification.

But,petrol is manufactured from various stages.So unwanted slags will be eliminated and pure fuel will be obtained and that is petrol.So in the case of petrol engine the damage is low.But the diesel engine will work under lot of pressure into it.So very strong components are used in diesel engine.Then also the damage will be more for diesel engine comparing to petrol engine.

Diesel engine maintenance is doubler than petrol engine.The Reason is more oil changes and frequent engine maintenance makes the cost higher.If we fail to maintain diesel vehicles properly then the expenditure will bite your purse.Likewise,diesel engine spare parts cost are higher than that of the petrol engine spare parts.When a diesel vehicle crosses 4 lac kilometers it is necessary to do “overhauling” of engine.

Hereby,your vehicle life will be extended.If we maintain the diesel engine properly we can expect more power and superb functionality than petrol engine.The reason for the short life time of a diesel engine is the lack of maintenance.

How to Check Engine Oil?

Apart from Car driving every car owner must  know how to test the Engine Oil.In your Car-Manual they have clearly mentioned on how to check the ‘Tip-Stick’ oil level.Every time while checking your oil-level you have to keep an eye on it.Many people have confusion about changing oils.As mentioned in the car manual,change the oil according to the Km/service intervals.It is enough.

Mostly,it is better to change the oil once every 10,000km.Mostly at the service-station itself they will top-up the oil level.Another confusion while changing the oil,whether  to use Mineral oil or synthetic oil? Don’t use Synthetic oil for the first 20,000km.After that,you can generously use synthetic oil that suits your car.

Ground Clearance

The distance between the car and the road is called ground clearance.Generally off-roading cars will have more ground clearance.

At the same time sports car will have less ground clearance to gain balance.Cars without proper ground clearance will encounter more trouble while crossing speed breakers and bad conditioned roads.

New Less Weight Engine

Mahindra acquired korean ssangyong motors and mahindra is preparing a small petrol engine with ssongyaong motors.

It will be a 1.2litre petrol engine that delivers 85bhp power.

It will be in very light weight as it is made up of fully "all aluminium".

If this engine is launched the it is sure that all the bike's will get more mileage.It also reduces the consumption of fuel.

Tips For Vehicle Maintenance

Wash the vehicles with water at least once a week in home itself.Oil leakages in engine,gearbox,suspension etc...should be checked periodically.Distilled water level in the battery should also be checked.

   First time start the bike using the kick-start at the morning instead of self start.It will increase the life of battery and self motor for a long time.

     Engine oil should be changed periodically as suggested by the company.If you do so,it will increase the life of engine.

      Unnecessarily pressing the clutch during the vehicle running will reduce the flow of power from engine to wheel.

    Chain sprocket in bikes should not be fitted very tightly or loosely as it will damage the gear wheel.It will also cut the mileage.

      If the tyres are getting punctures often then it means that the tyre is weak.So it should be changed. Driving until the tyre buttons are getting flat then it is very risk. 

Run Flat Tyres

The Punctured Cars with run flat tyres can run up to 50-60km distance continuously at a speed of 50km.Run Flat  Tyres are commonly used in VVIP’S car for safety measures.

Tyre is the Life Of A Vehicle

Poor wheel alignment and balancing will first affect the car suspension and steering.If you keep the steering straight also the car will not go ahead in the straight line,it may pull us to left or right side so it means that there is some problem in the alignment.

Secondly,wheel balancing.No car will have the 100 percent proper balance.The next second when your car gets on the road after doing wheel balance also the wheel balance will be changed.So frequently wheel balance should be done.

Thirdly,tyre rotation.All the 5 tyres(including stepney) in the car should be used equally hence tyre rotation is done.Rotation method will be different for front,rear and 4 wheel drive cars.

If you fixed a new tyre for your car then don't drive very fast for the first 500km. Then only your tyre will get good grip on the road..

Applying Automatic Brake On Identifying Pedestrians

Ford company recently tested this new technology that identifies the pedestrians across the road and it will apply the brake automatically.A camera is fitted in the windshield and a radar is fitted in the bumper.This device will flag a caution signal to the driver if any pedestrian is across the road.

In the absence of driver's reaction to the caution signal the automatic braking system is applied and the car stops automatically.Ford is going to include this feature in its ford mondeo 2015 model sedan car for the first time.

Required Safety Features For A Car

Seat Belt 

Many people won't wear seat belt while driving or they even won't matter about it.In china many of them wear t-shirts that has seat belt design in it to avoid wearing seat belt. But,seat belt is also one of the safety equipment to save our life from the accident. Many accidents happened due to the non-wearing of seat belts. So,seat belt is mandatory to protect ourselves and it is a best practice.

Cruise Control

While travelling in highways,this ultimate feature is very much useful.It helps the car to run in an idle speed.For example,if we want to go at a speed of 80 km then we have to set 80 km in the cruise control and it is enough.Then the car runs automatically in 80 km without pressing the accelerator.If we press the accelerator or brake then the cruise control will cut-off. Also,its latest technology is the 

automatic cruise control.According to the vehicles moving front and back it controls the speed of the car automatically. So,in any unexpected situation the automatic brake will be applied and the car stops automatically.wow!nice to hear!Indians will surely need it!

Steering Wheel Drum Set With Music

Generally many of us used to put drums in the steering wheel while hearing songs.An American company has introduced a steering wheel where we can put drums in the steering.This steering wheel looks like a cover.Every thing we need to do is we have to buy the cover and fix it in the steering wheel that’s all.Looks easy.8 colors are given to both sides of the steering wheel cover. While we put drums each color will reveal each drum beat.

We can easily connect this steering wheel drums with car speaker system.Apart from this we can compose our own drum beat for the song that is running in the car music system.With the help of a Small FM Transmitter in the steering wheel  the sound and music is passed.

You can also share and register your own drum beats in the internet.Steering wheel drums can also be connected with iPhone and iPad.It is in the beginning stage of testing and  soon it will be launched.

While Parking

If we park the car correctly then only we can do our work with full concentration and we can return.Otherwise we’ll think about the car.It will create tension.While parking outside or in parking areas we should listen to some things.

Do Not Park Location:

Before parking the car we have to notice that the road has parking area allotted.Don’t park car in front of houses,malls and shops.At the same time don’t park at the entrance of post office,fire station,Taxi-Stand and Auto-Stand.While parking in roads try to park without disturbing the pedestrians and other car drivers.

Wheel Base

In Cars the distance between the centre part of the front wheels to the centre part of the back wheels is called as “wheel base” in the automobile industry.

Wheel base is measured with respect to car’s speed and size.

Wheel base ensures the car balance while running.

Automobile experts will give more importance for wheel base.

Benefits Of Alloy Wheel

It plays an important role in determining the car appearance,prestige.So every class people have interest in alloy wheels.It also gives many benefits.

Alloy Wheel Production

Alloy or make wheels is made up of aluminium or magnesium.Sometimes it is made with  the combination of both.Since it was used only in sports car now ordinary cars also have alloy wheels.

Cast Aluminium Wheels

Most of the alloy wheels are manufactured from the Melt of Aluminium.Some Alloy Wheels are made from Magnesium.They have high durability and water resistance.

Glamour

Alloy wheels add glamour to the car.We can buy our desired alloy wheels from various designs that suits our car.This will give a “High Look” to the car.
