This system optimizes the braking effort distributed between front and rear axles. Vehicle stability during braking is improved in conditions that fall short of triggering the ABS. EBD helps minimize stopping distances regardless of load conditions.
Industry:Automotive
A system that injects fuel into the cylinders, and is timed and metered by an electronic control unit.
Industry:Automotive
This system replaces the mechanical cable-operated throttle control with an electronic version with inputs from the accelerator pedal and engine control module. The system is more precise, more efficient and quieter. It also controls the cruise control system and engine idle speed when the air conditioning system or other accessories are turned on.
Industry:Automotive
In addition to tuning with more precision, an ETR permits adding other electronic features, such as station seek and scan.

Emergency Locking Retractor (seatbelts) allows the seatbelt to extend and retract with occupant movement, yet it locks the belt during a sudden deceleration, stop or upon impact. Automatic Locking Retractor (seatbelts) makes it possible to secure a child seat without using a seatbelt locking clip.
Industry:Automotive
Mileage figures arrived at through laboratory tests conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Mileage figures for city and highway driving are usually reduced by a set factor to more closely reflect "real-world" driving.
Industry:Automotive
Front seatbelt safety feature that helps reduce the load of the seatbelt on an occupant’s chest, thereby reducing the risk of injury from the seatbelt itself.
Industry:Automotive
Allowing more passenger and cargo room by placing the engine transversely (or sideways), this system carries the weight of the engine and transmission over the drive wheels, helping to improve traction in certain situations.
