  2. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    On these surfaces, locked wheels dig in and stop the vehicle more quickly. ABS prevents this from occurring. Some ABS calibrations reduce this problem by slowing the cycling time, thus letting the wheels repeatedly briefly lock and unlock. Some vehicle manufacturers provide an "off-road" button to turn the ABS function off.

  3. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

    A discharged battery means that the tire must be dismounted in order to replace it, so long battery life is desirable. To save energy and prolong battery life, many dTPMS sensors do not transmit information when parked (which eliminates spare tire monitoring) or apply a more power expensive two-way communication which enables wake-up of the sensor.

  4. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

    DOT 5 is a silicone-based fluid and is separate from the series of DOT 2, 3, 4, 5.1. It is immiscible with water, and with other brake fluids, and must not be mixed with them. Systems can change fluid only after a complete system changeover, such as a total restoration. It contains at least 70% by weight of a diorgano polysiloxane. [7]

  5. Battery pack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_pack

    Lead-acid automobile battery pack consisting of 28 Optima Yellow Tops Lithium-ion battery pack for Lucid Motors. A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells. [1] [2] They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage and current. The term ...

  6. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene...

    ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions can vary from 15% to 35% acrylonitrile, 5% to 30% butadiene and 40% to 60% styrene. The result is a long chain of polybutadiene crisscrossed with shorter chains of poly ...

  7. Battery leakage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_leakage

    Battery leakage is the escape of chemicals, such as electrolytes, within an electric battery due to generation of pathways to the outside environment caused by factory or design defects, excessive gas generation, or physical damage to the battery.

  8. ISO standards for trailer connectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_standards_for_trailer...

    This means that if a pre-1999 camper trailer with a battery is connected to a post 1999 vehicle there's a risk that the battery charging won't work. The combination of 12N+12S was replaced in 2008 by the 13-pin ISO 11446 connector.

  9. Aliso Canyon gas leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliso_Canyon_gas_leak

    Aliso Canyon SS 25 wellhead, December 17, 2015. Note subsidence craters at center, apparently from the attempts to plug the leaking well. The Aliso Canyon gas leak (also called Porter Ranch gas leak [1] and Porter Ranch gas blowout [2]) was a massive methane leak in the Santa Susana Mountains near the neighborhood of Porter Ranch in the city of Los Angeles, California.
