Sentences with phrase «engine drag»

They reduce engine drag by slowing the engine down — without compromising performance of the vehicle or the performance of these critical components.

This is true, but it is largely offset by significantly increased internal engine drag at high speeds.

Standard Equipment: 3.4 - liter horizontally opposed 6 - cylinder engine 6 - speed manual transmission Porsche stability management Engine drag torque control Automatic brake differential Brake pad wear indicators Tire pressure monitoring system Tilt / telescoping steering wheel Halogen headlights Cruise control Remote entry Two - piece manual top

However, I have found in my own experimentation with a vehicle that shows current fuel consumption (in the form of the instantaneous mpg) that is is not always the case and fuel will actually be injected at certain times when going downhill, apparently when it detects engine drag is slowing the vehicle down too much.

Not all of the extra efficiency of the Prius is due to the HSD system: the Atkinson cycle engine itself was also designed specifically to minimize engine drag via an offset crankshaft to minimize piston drag during the power stroke, and a unique intake system to prevent drag caused by manifold vacuum («pumping losses») versus the normal Otto cycle in most engines.

Bent wheels, axles, bad shocks, broken springs, et cetera create engine drag and are unsafe at high traveling speeds.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM) with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR), and Trailer Stability Management

Lift off the throttle at cruising speed, and again, the gasoline engine shuts down and is decoupled from the drivetrain, reducing engine drag and fuel consumption.

DPC is a new active rear differential that can shuffle engine torque (or engine drag) between the two rear wheels.

Traction Control (TC), with its integrated automatic brake differential (ABD), anti-slip regulation (ASR) and engine drag - torque control (EDC), regulates the longitudinal dynamics of the car.

In terms of safety, the Hexa comes with six airbags, an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), vehicle dynamic control, traction control system and engine drag control system.

For safety, the F - Pace gets six airbags, All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Jaguar Drive Control (JDC) and Engine Drag Torque Control (EDC).
