2. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

   AEB differs from forward collision warning: FCW alerts the driver with a warning but does not by itself brake the vehicle. [4] According to Euro NCAP, AEB has three characteristics: [5] Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation.

   Only the 2.0 L engine was offered in North America. Unlike the 2006 model year XD series, the 2007 model year base Hyundai Elantra GLS trim did not include air conditioning as standard equipment, but added side curtain airbags (previously front and side only), active head restraints and all-round disc brakes with four-channel ABS.

4. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

   If the driver does not react, the system pre-charges the brakes and increases the brake assist sensitivity to maximize driver braking performance. Later versions would automatically apply the brakes to minimize pedestrian impacts. In some models of Volvos, the automatic braking system can be manually turned off.

5. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   Anti-lock brakes enable ESC to slow down individual wheels. Many ESC systems also incorporate a traction control system (TCS or ASR), which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels and/or reduces excess engine power until control is regained.

6. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

   FS: Parking Brake. Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD or EBFD) or electronic brakeforce limitation (EBL) is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's wheels, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc, thus providing intelligent control of both brake balance and overall ...

7. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

   SUA resolutions include applying the brakes or clutch, or shifting into neutral with an automatic transmission. [72] [73] [3] In most cars, fully applied brakes are easily capable of stopping the car while the accelerator pedal is also fully applied. [17] "

8. Hill-holder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill-holder

   Hill-holders work best for those who are inexperienced with manual shift techniques, or in situations with heavy traffic in steep hilly conditions (as in San Francisco, or Duluth for example). However the same technique can be accomplished by a driver through the use of the manual parking brake lever, coordinated with the brake, clutch, gear ...

9. Parking brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake

   In manual transmission vehicles, the parking brake is engaged to help keep the vehicle stationary while parked, especially if parked on an incline. [2] [3]While automatic transmission vehicles have a "Park" gear with a parking pawl that immobilizes the transmission, it is still recommended to use the parking brake, as the pawl in the gearbox could fail due to stress or another vehicle striking ...
