A mechanical component that sends rotational power to both wheels when one is raised off the ground or experiencing slippage. Standard differentials, also known as open differentials, cannot perform this task.
A system employed in hybrid and battery electric vehicles that captures energy created during braking/deceleration and transfers it to the onboard battery. Energy stored in this battery is then used to power the vehicle at slow speeds reducing its reliance on the engine and making it more fuel efficient.
A collection of sensors that work together to monitor the distance between the vehicle and the one in front of it. This feature is usually bundled with Automatic Emergency Braking that jams the brakes if the driver does not respond in time to prevent a collision.
The climate control system helps both drivers and passengers to control the interior temperature of their cars with great accuracy, and all they have to do is select the desired temperature, and the system will automatically determine the rate and amount of cold air that enters the cabin.
A safety mechanism that automatically unlocks the doors when the airbags are deployed in an accident.
