Car’s Most Popular Useful Features

Overview

Today’s automobiles are equipped with loads of technology features. These range from must-have safety features to nice-to-have convenience elements that will make driving a breeze. There are so many of them that it’s difficult to keep track of what to look for when buying a car.

We’ve compiled an expert guide to all the automotive characteristics you should consider.

SRS Airbags

The SRS Airbag System was designed to support the seatbelt system and provide passenger safety in specific collision situations. In certain types of collisions, airbags complement the seat belt and improve passenger safety.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is one of the most popular and important car features. Today yet many people don’t even know they need it. ABS is designed to maintain control of the vehicle during emergency stops.

Forward collision prevention (Radar)

Radar-based pre-collision systems help drivers to steer away from potentially dangerous collisions by alerting drivers. With any potential risks that are on their way. With the installation of a radar-based pre-collision system. There will be an extra layer of protection and the probability of drivers encountering collisions on the road will go down. it will also prevent a road accident on a fog journey.

Blind-spot monitoring

With the rise of technology, it’s important to stay up to date with the latest safety features for your vehicle. One such feature is the Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM), a system designed to help drivers detect and avoid potential collisions. The BSM system uses sensors to detect when a vehicle is in the driver’s blind spot, alerting the driver to potential danger. This system can be a great tool for keeping you safe while driving, making it essential to have a BSM system in your car.

Lane Departure Assistant (LDA)

Safety is a top priority for all drivers, so the Lane Departure Assist System (LDA) is an invaluable safety feature that you can’t afford to ignore. This system uses advanced technology to detect lane markings and alert drivers when they are departing from their lane. By providing an early warning, LDA helps drivers stay safe by preventing potential accidents due to distracted or sleepy driving.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The traction control system (TCS) monitors friction loss among the vehicle’s wheels. When the system detects a wheel that is losing its grip on the road, it suddenly applies the brakes to that wheel or reduces the car’s engine power and security to the slippery wheel.

Eco Idling or Ene-Charge

The Eco Idle technology will restart your vehicle engine at every traffic signal stop and even in static traffic. Instead of three or four times per day, the battery will be used to start the vehicle 10-15 times every day. In the feature when you apply the brake then the engine and all features going to stop. After releasing the brake it starts again. This feature is totally fuel efficient.

Ene-charge

ENE-CHARGE and the new Engine Auto Stop-Start System are examples of fuel-efficient technologies.

To provide energy generated, ENE-CHARGE is a hybrid system that combines the engine with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. When the brake is applied, the engine stops, but the climate control system switches to the lithium-ion battery fixed under the passenger seat.

Automatic High Beams

Auto high beam is the latest technology in cars. If you are driving at night time or you are passing from the tunnel where you need a high beam. There is a high beam button in the car when it’s active then it will start automatically when you need it.

Rear Cross-Traffic Warning

Rear cross-traffic warnings are also known as “rear parking sensors”. When the driver’s car is in reverse and backing out of a parking place, a Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning system alerts him or her if a vehicle is coming from the left or right.  It will show statics or dynamic lines on your car display system.

360-degree camera system

The 360-degree camera is a very interesting feature in newly assembled cars. It is also known as “bird view vision”. Because you can see the complete view of your surroundings in the car.

Unless factory-equipped variations are also available, no car offers this provision. As a result, mounting this functionality would be tough.

When viewed from the sides, the camera may become an inconvenience.

Dynamic Adaptive Cruise Control

The function works by placing sensors and cameras in front of your vehicle to detect other cars in your lane and surrounding area. The technique combines these detections to decide whether your car needs to slow down or accelerate, and it will automatically engage your brakes.

Heated and Cool Seats

A heating coil is hidden behind the seat cover in heated seats. When you switch one on, power from the battery travels to the cushion’s heating coil, which warms it up. Some automobiles have thermostats installed into heated seats to avoid overheating. The thermostat functions exactly like the one in your home.

If you feel hot then you can turn on the option of cooling seats the perforated car seats will turn into cooling and will make the temperature cool.

Lumbar support

Lumbar support relieves spinal strain, preventing pain or discomfort caused by bad posture, tightness, or pre-existing back disorders. It can control from driving seats electric controls.

Heated steering wheel

These sensors deliver a charge through the mirrors, causing the harshness to dim and allowing you to see clearly.

Climate Control System

In the car you have seen there is only simple AC. This can control with knobs. But you have listened to the climate control system. It means a variety of sensors are analyzed to measure how hot or cool the air is in order for the system to continuously manage the temperature inside the car. There is an auto button utilized to calculate how much warm or cold air needs to be blown into the car to maintain the temperature set by the users.

Multi-zone Climate Control

Multi-zone climate control is also known as a Dual climate control system.  it controls is a heating and air conditioning technology in automobiles that allows the driver and front passenger to manage their own Ventilation settings. For example, the driver is feeling cold and the passenger is feeling hot so, they can set the temperature as per they want.

When the driver enters the car before driving he adjusts the steering first. To improve comfort and safety while driving, all vehicles include a Steering Wheel Adjustment lever that rotates the steering wheel up, down, in, and out to fit passengers of different heights in the car seat.

There are two types of steering adjustment,

• Tilt position
• Telescopic 

In the tilt position, the steering wheel only rotates up and down.

In the telescopic position, the steering wheels move up, down, in, and out.

Conclusion

Much technological advancement has taken place in the last 50 years, but none have been as significant as those achieved in the automobile industry. Unbelievable innovations in automotive technology have made automobiles easier to drive and run, safer, and perform better.
