The piston cooling jet operation is managed by the two - stage oil pump to enhance fuel economy
under normal driving conditions while improving durability under demanding, high - load engine operation.
Run - Flat technology allows the Potenza RE050A RFT to continue to operate safely at a speed of up to 50 mph for a distance of up to 50 miles
under normal driving conditions with zero inflation pressure.
If the driver's foot leaves the accelerator again to let the car coast, the system switches to electric drive at the front axle;
braking under normal driving conditions recuperates up to 80 % of the energy, which is fed into the battery.
This software was designed to sense when a car was undergoing an emissions test, and only then engage the vehicle's full emissions - control system, which would otherwise be
disabled under normal driving conditions — a cheat that allows the vehicles to emit 40 times more emissions than permitted by the Clean Air Act.
The BMW xDrive is an intelligent all - wheel drive system that monitors the driving situation constantly and distributes drive power smoothly between the axles,
where under normal driving conditions xDrive works with a basic 40/60 torque split front and rear.
Then again, due to the EPA's ill - defined testing procedures, CVT - equipped WRX models will wear last year's underwhelming 19/25 figure on their window sticker, though Subaru assures us that selecting the transmission's default i - Mode will return fuel economy numbers in the neighborhood of 23 city and 30
highway under normal driving conditions.
Toyota recommends replacing your engine air filter every 30,000 miles or 36
months under normal driving conditions and recommends inspecting the filter every 15,000 miles or 18 months if you frequently drive in a dusty environment.
Of the gasoline engines, the 1.2 - liter will probably be best at the
pumps under normal driving conditions, although the TwinAirs will beat it if you try to hypermile both variants.All new 500s come with standard Uconnect infotainment, manual adjustment for the climate control, seven airbags, height - adjustable steering wheel, 14 - inch steelies with hubcaps and electric windows.
Acceleration can be a bit rubber - bandy, as the CVT and the engine negotiate the cruising rpm, but the power train is quiet and
smooth under normal driving conditions with none of the jerkiness of that comes with shifting gears.
Providing a 20 kg weight saving over the standard brakes, the fade - free CSiC discs last the lifetime of the
car under normal driving conditions, while brake pad life is doubled.
Under normal driving conditions up to 50 per cent of the engine's power goes to the rear wheels; under extreme conditions up to 100 per cent, offering a new, high - traction rendition of the agile handling so typical of MINI.
[15] The Torsen differential distributed a variable torque split when left unlocked, including a 40:60 (front: rear)
ratio under normal driving conditions, a 30:70 ratio during cornering, and a 50:50 ratio when rear wheel slippage was detected.
Thanks to the support ring, PAX System can adopt a low profile - which is ideal for excellent handling - while maintaining more flexible sidewalls; this is the key to a comfortable
ride under normal driving conditions.
The gasoline engine runs so seldom that you would effectively get the equivalent of up to 120
mpg under normal driving conditions using a combination of EV mode driving and electrically assisted gasoline engine driving.
Be sure to keep in mind that the three electric motors in the hybrid powertrain are supposed to conserve
fuel under normal driving conditions, therefore, the sensitive hybrid system is likely to experience a mechanical overload when it's forced to provide explosive horsepower and torque output.
Run - Flat technology allows the Potenza RE050A MOE to continue to operate safely at a speed of up to 50 mph for a distance of up to 50 miles
under normal driving conditions with zero inflation pressure.
Run - Flat technology allows the Potenza RE050 RFT to continue to operate safely at a speed of up to 50 mph for a distance of up to 50
miles under normal driving conditions with zero inflation pressure.
The amount of wear on the brakes,
under normal driving conditions, is negligible, but the tradeoff is more wear and tear on potentially more expensive components.
