When starting from a stop on an uphill grade, HAC automatically increases brake pressure to all four wheels to reduce rearward rolling while the driver steps on the accelerator pedal.
Industry:Automotive
Refers to Toyota's name for advanced technology hybrid powertrains that combine gasoline and electric propulsion with the ability to operate on one or the other, or both, depending on the driving situation. By enabling the vehicle to operate at its most efficient level, regardless of engine speed, Hybrid Synergy Drive® boosts power output and, at the same time, enhances efficiency and emissions control.
Industry:Automotive
The work process and ethic that involves continuous search for improvement, constantly taking measures to improve work procedures and equipment. Kaizen often involves utilising teams of employees who revise their work procedures and standards round-the-clock to achieve improvements in efficiency, quality and working conditions.
Industry:Automotive
By detecting high frequency vibrations that are early signs of pinging (pre-ignition) or knocking, a computerised engine control can retard the spark timing until the knock ceases. This allows an engine to take advantage of a high compression ratio (for more power) while reducing the risk of damage from hot weather, increased engine loads or lower grades of gasoline.
Industry:Automotive
Light-Emitting Diode (taillamps) make vehicles more distinctive and reduce power consumption.
Industry:Automotive
Improves traction by splitting torque evenly and preventing one wheel from slipping or spinning. Especially helpful during cornering or other slippery situations (snow, gravel, etc.).
Industry:Automotive
Mounted to the frame and the rear axle, the LSP & BV senses the weight distribution of the vehicle and automatically varies the amount of hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes based on the load in the vehicle. This helps to reduce rear-wheel lock-up with either light or heavy loads to maintain stopping control.
Industry:Automotive
Low Emission Vehicle meets California Low Emission Vehicle and the Federal emissions regulations.
Industry:Automotive
An independent suspension unit consisting of both a coil spring and a shock strut. (A shock absorber is inside the strut.) It is most commonly found in the front of passenger cars, but can also be used in the rear. This is a compact design that allows efficient space utilisation while providing a smooth, comfortable ride with good handling.
Industry:Automotive
A type of transmission that utilises a mechanical clutch and is operated manually by the driver.
