TIPS FOR BETTER MILEAGE:

Mileage is an important factor that will make a break a person's decision to buy a car. As fuel prices are reaching sky high every month, vehicle owners wants to make the most of their price.

Here are some of the few tips that might help:

1. Changing the normal air filter with the k & n air filter.
2. Maintaining the parameters like tire pressure and the vehicle oil when it needs to be changed.
3. Follow the economic speed set for your vehicle.
4. Avoid abrupt starting. The jump starting a vehicle is one of the biggest wastage of fuels.
5. Don't get your cars idle for longer time.
6. Keep calculating your gas mileage and keep your vehicle wel serviced.air filter.
7. Try parking the vehicle at the shade.






Ride safe everyone :)

ABS-Anti-lock Braking System

While braking at the higher speed all the tyres in the vehicles do not put a 100% of efficient, as you still can steer the vehicle so, the front two types of vehicles does not get proper braking. ABS, however ensures that, vehicle remains steerable and stable while applying brake.

The sign in the speedometer will glow, as shown below, which will last for like 5 minutes after is is seen, after then it goes.* [Depending upon the vehicle and the system]


How does ABS work?
ABS control unit controls all wheels by wheel speed sensor, when the wheel gets locked, ABS systematically intervenes a braking  pressure with electronically braking system without ABS, the vehicle cannot respond to the driver steering attempts at higher speed, with ABS vehicle remains steerable and stable, collision thus remains avoidable.

ESP: Elecectronic Sabity Program

It is an innovative safety system, that supports the driver and keeps the vehicle safe on the road in any critical situation. It counters skidding of vehicles at early state and controls the vehicle automatically. Usually on th snowy or the slippery or the wet floor where immediate brakes are needed, then the car may skid or start dancing here and froth, during such times ESP can be of huge importance.


If without ESP a vehicle is driven, in certain conditions like in highways when you are making 60+ mph/ 100+km/hr and suddenly a vehicle comes in front, the steering looses it's control and the vehicle can not stop. But if the ESP system is there it monitors the vehicle and stops automatically.


* Also on sharp turnings during higher speed, according to the law of physics, the centrifugal force pushes the vehicle outwards of the track which lead mostly to collisions.


 

How does ESP work?
  ESP monitors vehicles 25 times more, if a car is aobut to over skid or over steer and is about to loose the track then it automatically brakes on the over skidded part of tyre. system reacts immediately. Precisely, immediate braking system reacts on each wheels immediately and gets controlled.

ESP consists of following things inside: 

 1. speed sensor on each wheel.

 2. rotation rate censor on all wheels.
 3. steering angle sensor.
