Sentences with phrase «conventional brakes»

Unlike most conventional brake systems, there's no initial dead space before the brakes engage.

* Use conventional brake pedal for aggressive braking situations.

Also, the Sierra 1500 might have some of the lowest maintenance costs among pickups because of its 4 - wheel disc brakes with Duralife rotors, which GM claims will last twice as long as conventional brake rotors.

This contrasts with conventional braking systems, where the excess kinetic energy is converted to unwanted and wasted heat by friction in the brakes, or with dynamic brakes, where energy is recovered by using electric motors as generators but is immediately dissipated as heat in resistors.

• Regenerative Braking: Electric Vehicles make use of regenerative braking, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electric energy - and uses this to charge the battery - rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventional brakes do.

ABS doesn't make much difference in stopping distances on dry roads, although it can enhance vehicle stability and allow the driver to maintain steering control during an emergency stop, when conventional brakes might allow wheel lockup and skidding.

When driven hard the pads wear at a similar rate to those used on conventional brakes; the discs still withstand wear better no matter how the car is driven.

Flicking down on the left paddle creates up to five stages of regenerative braking, meaning the use of partial conventional braking is kept at a minimum.

The CCM brakes are some 12.5 kg lighter than conventional brakes reducing not only the overall weight of the car but also the unsprung mass specifically.

They weigh half as much as comparable conventional brakes, cutting unsprung mass and sharpening turn - in response.

Compared with conventional brake discs, PCCB reduces unsprung masses by 20 kg and sets new standards in terms of responsiveness, resistance to fading, and a long service life.

«Anti-lock brakes should not be pumped like conventional brakes.

In terms of braking, it gets conventional braking mechanism with front ventilated discs and rear drum brakes.

When the Insight is coasting or its brakes are applied, and the vehicle is in gear, its electric - assist motor becomes a generator, converting forward momentum into electrical energy, instead of wasting it as heat during conventional braking (vented front disc / rear drum brakes are still the main means of braking).

During testing, Mercedes engineers were able to ascertain that the braking reaction time of motorists is quickened by an average of 0.2 seconds if they see a flashing red warning signal instead of conventional brake lights in an emergency braking situation.

«Particularly, the normal habit after years of driving conventional brakes is to lock your hands on the wheel and steer straight.

Driving exercises teach drivers how to stop their car in the minimum distance, including reaction time and use of Anti-lock or conventional braking systems.

Modern HEVs make use of efficiency - improving technologies such as regenerative braking, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into electric energy to charge the battery, rather than wasting it as heat energy as conventional brakes do.

The second system is the regenerative braking, which inverts the motors when you stand on the brake pedal to recharge the batteries, and the third is the conventional brake system, which uses carbon ceramic discs and six - piston calipers.

To do this, it uses regenerative braking from the electric motor and the stopping power of the car's conventional brakes.

Since Citroen's mushroom - shaped brake button made heel - and - toe downshifting difficult, Maserati installed a conventional brake pedal that acted as a lever on the mushroom, which was hidden behind the pedal.

Conventional brakes, when pressed and held, lock the wheels, which can make a vehicle spin or skid out of control.

This results in reduced braking distance & improved balance, leading to more confident riding compared to conventional braking.

Being much lighter than a conventional brake system, they also contribute to the all - round reduction in weight.

There was an obvious difference between the regenerative braking and when the conventional brakes activated, which led to some pretty inconsistent stopping distances during our testing.

Make sure your young driver knows how to use anti-lock brakes, which respond differently than conventional brakes.

Other green systems include the aforementioned regenerative braking system, which combined nicely with the conventional brakes to provide good feel and smooth control.

The unique Equalizer in Honda's advanced Combi Brake System (CBS) distributes braking force proportionately between front and rear wheels simultaneously by pressing just the left lever resulting in reduced braking distance & improved balance compared to conventional braking.
