Safety-wise, Toyota engineers fitted the Aygo with ABS and electronic
brake force as well as dual airbags (including side and thorax airbags from 2013 on).
Sensors measure turning, accelerating and
braking forces as well as differences in wheel - rotation speeds.
Further advantages of the new brake discs include well controlled dosage of
braking force as well as stability.
A Brake Assist system applies full

Not exact matches
The EEG measured patterns of brain activity
as drivers were
forced to
brake suddenly.
This magnetic
braking forces the core to rotate at nearly the same angular speed
as the envelope
as long
as the core does not go into dynamic collapse.
As an athlete you must be able to generate
force and put the
brakes on movement.
Similarly,
as a racer involved in a pursuit, you have access to tools such
as EMP jammers, unlimited nitrous and the ability to lock your enemy's
brakes,
forcing them into a wall.
This however does not hold true for rear wheel drive vehicles which can have a strong weight transfer (high, soft - suspension cars,
as most US vehicles),
as the added
braking force on the rear wheels without added (weight - transfer caused) friction could cause wheel lockup and possibly loss of control of the vehicle.
Foot
braking only will likely cause wheel lockup,
as the ABS system has limited capabilities at low speeds and whithout it you are applying the same amount of
braking force to all wheels.
Active cruise control accomplishes both missions, except that the system tends to mistake off - ramps for a clear piece of road,
forcing you to
brake twice
as hard to slow down the self - accelerating vehicle.
I say «might be» because, in modelling this situation, one can not get away from the dependence on multiple factors, such
as the 5 listed above So if (for example) the natural rates of deceleration after downshifting and in neutral are the same, that doesn't mean it would take the same
force of stepping on the
brakes in both cases to further change the deceleration by the required amount.
As the
braking force is improved the balance between front and rear may need to be adjusted, so a bias valve or adjustable pedal box can restore the balance and allow you to tune it to suit the conditions on the day.
Firstly, You should not pump the
brakes with any of the pads missing -
as you have discovered, this results in the pistons being
forced out of the calipers!
The Type R's dash also features a cool g meter that continually displays cornering,
braking, and acceleration
forces as they move about the X and Y axes.
On top of all this,
braking forces applied to each front (or rear) wheel are not guaranteed to be equal, so from a moderate speed on ICE, engine
braking can conceivably help, but you MUST have a good «seat of the pants» feel for what's going on under you
as conditions vary.
A rear wheel drive vehicle will realize theoretically, an advantage when
braking on ICE over a front wheel drive vehicle because the proportioning valve sends
as much
as 67 % -70 % of the
braking force to the front wheels anyway.
But unlike aero downforce,
as soon
as you get off the
brake the extra
force is gone and understeer can return.
As a result, the
braking system can not apply much clamping
force before those wheels lock (i.e., they're now out of the picture).
First, everyone who said that the
braking effect comes from the compression stroke is wrong... the air in the cylinder is compressed which takes energy, yet after top dead center acts
as a spring and helps
force the piston back down, returning the exact same
force as was put into it in the first place.
It relishes a fast corner entry,
braking right to the apex — the front tyres gripping
as they are being
forced into the tarmac
as the nose dives.
When you are
as little
as one ounce short or too much, these pressures are wrong and because the hydraulic
brakes and clutches inside won't work smoothly with the wrong pressure, the control unit
forces emergency mode.
As an example, if the left tire has more traction than the right tire, then under
braking, your car will pull left since it exerts greater
braking force.
It tramlined horribly, its suspension was about
as compliant
as a cast - iron street lamp, its aerodynamic performance suffered from latent liftoff fits, and the operating
forces required to work steering,
brakes, clutch, and transmission called for athletic abilities I never pretended to possess.
The coating on the discs makes the surface much harder than regular uncoated cast iron, and it therefore allows a more consistent
braking force even
as the
brakes get hot.
The pressure feedback from my
brake pedal progressively increases
as I apply more
force to it, but I'm able to push it until it feels like it is stopped by a physical barrier (with engine running and while stopped).
The really interesting stuff lies on the standard equipment list, with an AUX input - equipped CD player, Bluetooth connection, Isofix child seat mounts, airbags, electric windows, remote central locking and ABS with electronic
brake force distribution all
as standard.
They don't crumble completely, but when you're carrying
as much speed
as these cars allow you to do, any change or deterioration in
brake feel and stopping power is a big deal, chipping away at your confidence and
forcing your right foot to waver when the Ferrari driver still has his foot hard on the gas.
The system may even boost
brake pressure
as the situation demands, even to the point of the maximum
braking force that the system is able to provide.

Engine
braking occurs when the retarding
forces within an engine are used to slow a vehicle down,
as opposed to using additional external
braking mechanisms such
as friction
brakes or magnetic
brakes.
INFINITI's Electronic
Brake force Distribution (EBD) system detects vehicle - load conditions, such
as passengers and luggage, and distributes additional
brake pressure to the rear
brakes as needed.
As before, standard Kluger safety equipment includes seven airbags, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, anti-skid

Sometimes it'll downshift
as you're
braking to a stop and it lunges forward,
forcing you to push down a little harder on the pedal.
Apart from these, this elegant Honda Civic petrol sedan has been incorporated with an advanced anti-lock
braking system along with a sophisticated electronic
brake force distribution mechanism and
brake assist
as well.
When the traction control function is operational,
as the vehicle's wheels tend to spin faster than the other on a straight surface, meaning not during a turn, then the anti lock
brake system will apply
braking force to the wheel that is not in full contact with the flat surface.
For one, all units include side curtain airbags
as well
as an electronic
brake force distribution feature.
Included in the optional Technology package is Volvo's pedestrian detection feature, which can apply full
braking force (reducing speed by
as much
as 22 mph) to help you avoid hitting pedestrians and cyclists who are at least 31 inches in height.
Inside, the all - new Dodge Caliber SRT4 boasts sport seating with deep, performance bolsters, an SRT race - inspired instrument design and Reconfigurable Display with exclusive «performance pages» that provide lateral and longitudinal G -
force, 0 - 100 km / h acceleration time and distance
as well
as 100 - 0 km / h
braking distance and time.
This higher factor under overrun was chosen, first, because the engine's drag
force is lower than its maximum torque and, second, because this configuration serves to stabilise the car, preventing it from swerving or turning under load change in bends,
as now
brake force is applied more evenly on both wheels when the driver suddenly takes back the gas pedal.
ABS
braking with electronic
brake -
force distribution is standard on the 2006 Honda Accord EX,
as are vehicle stability assist (which can be switched off) and traction control.
As for safety, our Tucson came with ABS four - wheel discs, traction and stability control, electronic
brake force, all the airbags, hill descent control and Blue Link telematics to name a few.
More sophisticated systems allow for more information such
as lateral and longitudinal acceleration (g -
force), throttle position, steering wheel position and
brake pressure.
On top of that,
brake assist electromechanically works the
brakes in a panic stop, applying maximum
force to haul the car down to a controlled stop
as quickly
as possible.

This system incorporates electronic
brake distribution (EBD), which helps to distribute
braking force evenly to all four wheels
as weight shifts during cornering.
Some of the features that the Terrano Sport takes from the standard Terrano are the dual airbags, anti-lock
