Car Definitions

What does Emergency Brake Assist mean?

An electronic system that maximizes brake efficiency during panic stops.

What does Differential Lock mean?

A mechanical component that "locks" both wheels on a axle, forcing them to turn in unison, regardless of the traction available at each wheel.

What does Performance Tyres mean?

Tires that are dedicated to high-speed driving are known as performance tires. They tend to have a shallower tread pattern than standard road tires to reduce rolling resistance while providing maximum grip.

What does Active Understeer Control (AUC) mean?

A driving characteristic usually associated with front-wheel drive cars, wherein the car doesn't turn enough at high speeds.

What does Torsen Limited Slip Differential mean?

A mechanical component that sends rotational power to both wheels when one is raised off the ground or experiencing slippage. Standard differentials, also known as open differentials, cannot perform this task.
