Automobile Accessory
An automobile accessory can enhance your vehicle as well as protect it. When purchasing any automobile accessory, check the product and its utility value. Be wary of stray dealers when going in for an automobile accessory. Various automobile accessory components can comprise:
- Automobile seat cover
- Car stereo and music system
- Car burglar alarm or Immobilizer
- Automobile air conditioning
- GPS vehicle Navigation System
- Microwave/LASER warning system to detect Police radar guns (illegal in some states)
A car alarm with remote is designed to protect the vehicle’s interior and exterior and is a very useful automobile accessory. Radar sensors of the alarm system help detect movement inside the car as well as attempts to open doors and windows. Remote keyless entry and programmable Auto Lock are useful features of this automobile accessory.
A music system in the automobile is an accessory that is available in a wide range of makes and models. An automobile accessory like a stereo system comprises tape deck, CD players, amplifiers, speakers and sub woofers.
Automobile Tire / Automobile Rim / Automobile Wheels
An automobile tire is a corded skeleton coated with rubber and mounted on to an automobile rim. This automobile tire is then inflated to provide traction for moving the vehicle. An automobile rim is made from continuous steel strip, which is then cut to length to form a circle by flash welding. An automobile rim must be kept taut and perfectly balanced as it plays a critical role.
The body of the automobile tire is made of several layers of fabric called ply. Polyester cord is the most commonly used ply fabric for an automobile tire. The strength of an automobile tire is generally described by the number of plies it has. An automobile tire may have two plies while a commercial jetliner tire may have thirty or more plies.
Over inflation of automobile tire is a common mistake that is made by users. Ensure that the automobile tire pressure does not exceed the maximum that is listed by the manufacturer. Maintaining optimum automobile tire inflation gives improved mileage and better running conditions.
Misalignment of automobile wheels is another issue that should not be ignored, as it is the leading cause of premature automobile tire wear. The visible sign of automobile wheels being misaligned is the uneven wear on the tire treads. All the four automobile wheels must be aligned parallel to each other. You need to go in for a check on the automobile wheels alignment in the following cases:
- After collision accident
- New set of automobile tires
- Change of suspension and steering parts
- Pull to the left or right when driving straight
- After nearly 6,000 kms of driving
Automobile Transmission
Automobile transmission is either a manual transmission or automobile transmission. An automobile transmission allows the engine to operate in its narrow range of speeds and at the same time provides a wide range of output speeds. Without an automobile transmission, a car would be limited to one gear ratio. An automobile transmission makes effective use of the engine’s torque and keeps the automobile engine operating at an appropriate speed.
Manual transmission involves manual movement of gears to unlock different set of gears to the output shaft to achieve various gear ratios. Automatic automobile transmission ensures that the same set of gears produces all the different gear ratios. Planetary gear set is the device that creates different gear ratios that the automobile transmission can produce. Some features of automatic transmission:
- If you accelerate gently, shifts will occur at lower speeds than if you accelerate at full throttle.
- If you floor the gas pedal, the transmission will downshift to the next lower gear.
