Anti-theft alarm system

An anti-theft alarm system designed for use with a motor vehicle such as an automobile which includes a logic control assembly activated by a transmitted, coded signal being sent to a receiver and decoder connected to the logic control system for the activation and operation of a fuel valve control mechanism, an ignition control and associated timer mechanism, and a mobile transmitter structure mounted on and carried with the motor vehicle. Activation of the system may occur by authorized personnel calling into a central telephone switching office by means of a conventional subscriber, touchtone telephone or a cellular telephone.

Traction control system (TCS) or Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)

A traction control system (TCS), also known as Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), is typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system on production vehicles, and is designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and therefore maintain the control of the vehicle when excessive throttle is applied by the driver and the condition of the road surface (due to varying factors) is unable to cope with the torque applied.

The intervention can consist of one or more of the following:

• Retard or suppress the spark to one or more cylinders
• Reduce fuel supply to one or more cylinders
• Brake one or more wheels
• Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted with drive by wire throttle
• In turbo-charged vehicles, the boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine power.

Typically, the traction control system shares the electro-hydraulic brake actuator (but does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo), and the wheel speed sensors with the anti-lock braking system.

Use of traction control

• In road cars: Traction control has traditionally been a safety feature in high-performance cars, which would otherwise need very sensitive throttle input to keep them from spinning the driven wheels when accelerating, especially in wet, icy or snowy conditions. In recent years, traction control systems have become widely available in non-performance cars, minivans, and light trucks.
• In race cars: Traction control is used as a performance enhancement, allowing maximum traction under acceleration without wheel spin. When accelerating out of turn, it keeps the tires at the optimum slip ratio.
• In motorcycles: Traction control for a production motorcycle was first available with the Honda ST1100 in 1992.By 2009, traction control was an option for several models offered by BMW and Ducati, and the model year 2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 (1400GTR).
• In off road vehicles: Traction control is used instead or in addition to the mechanical limited slip or locking differential. It is often implemented with an electronic limited slip differential, as well as other computerized controls of the engine and transmission. The spinning wheel is slowed down with short applications of brakes, diverting more torque to the non-spinning wheel. This form of traction control has an advantage over a locking differential, as steering and control of a vehicle is easier, so the system can be continuously enabled. It also creates less stress on the drivetrain, which is particularly important to the vehicles with an independent suspension that is generally weaker compared to solid axles. On the other hand, only half of the available torque will be applied to a wheel with traction, compared to a locked differential, and handling is less predictable.

Skoda Superb

Overview

Skoda presents the new Superb which provides experience with its 7-Star superior style and innovative engineering. The new Superb is escorted on the Indian automobile market with great expectations. The old Superb made a good impression in India with his magnificent performance and style. The latest version will follow the legacy of Skoda. The superb style of striking from the outside with specific internal offer a strong visual emotion. Smart style lines and a bold appearance define the unique nature of this car.

Powertrain & Performance

Super is available in three petrol variants and a diesel variant. The petrol version and given a choice between two engines, 1.8-liter turbocharged engine that generates 160 horsepower and 3.6 liter V6 with an output of 260 hp. The diesel version sports a 2.0-liter engine with turbocharger, delivering 140 hp.

The 1.8-liter engine comes with options for manual transmission 6-speed and 7-speed automatic with Tiptronic manual control over an automatic transmission 5-speed in the old Superb. The petrol engine of 3.6 liters and 2.0 liters of diesel engine sports a gearbox 6-speed automatic with manual Tiptronic. The new Superb also comes with a well-tuned front and rear suspension.

 

Build & Styling

Skoda's design philosophy is clearly reflected a new front radiator which is reinforced with chrome detailing the addition of a vintage model of the car. The all-new Superb is stylish alloy wheels of 16 inches. Other interesting features like an exterior mirror with indicators, power sunroof, automatic trunk lid closed and automatically wipe the windshield rain sensor come as standard on the new Superb.

The interior is upgraded with leather seats and Nappa Ivory, a 12-way power driver seat with power adjustable programmable memory. Music while driving creates magic with a music player and touch screen Skoda amazing 6.5-inch color LCD. Dual zone air flow and Climatronic automatic sensors air quality ensures an optimal environment in the cabin regardless of the weather outside. The comfort and convenience of the new Superb rich pampered like no other.

The new Skoda Superb takes full advantage of security features and security such as 8-airbags including side airbags rear, ABS with electronic brake force of the anti-slip regulation (ASR) system traction control, electronic stability system, monitoring tire pressure and engine immobilizer with the code floating.
