  2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    A torque converter is a device, usually implemented as a type of fluid coupling, that transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. In a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the torque

  3. Viscous coupling unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_coupling_unit

    It linked the front and rear differentials for quiet and smooth transfer of power to the axle with the greatest traction, on wet or dry pavement. [ 4 ] Viscous couplings are used as the center differential in cars such as the Toyota Celica GT-Four , and also as a limited slip differential (LSD) in rear axles.

  4. Leak detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

    A leak appearing within an analytic region (a rule added to the camera) is immediately analyzed for its attributes, including thermal temperature, size, and behaviour (e.g. spraying, pooling, spilling). When a leak is determined to be valid based on set parameters, an alarm notification with leak video is generated and sent to a monitoring station.

  5. Rear-view mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear-view_mirror

    As many as 50 small children are killed by SUVs every year in the USA because the driver cannot see them in their rear-view mirrors. [8] Camera systems are usually mounted to the rear bumper or lower parts of the car, allowing for better rear visibility. [citation needed] Aftermarket secondary rear-view mirrors are available. They attach to the ...

  6. Torque tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_tube

    A torque tube system is a power transmission and braking technology that involves a stationary housing around the drive shaft, often used in automobiles with a front engine and rear drive. The torque tube consists of a large diameter stationary housing between the transmission and rear end that fully encloses a rotating tubular steel or small ...

  7. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    A leak in the head gasket - often called a "blown head gasket" - can result in a leak of coolant, the combustion gasses, or both. Blue smoke from the exhaust suggests that excess oil is entering the combustion chambers (although there are other possible causes than a head gasket leak). White smoke from the exhaust suggests that coolant is ...

  8. Driver monitoring system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_Monitoring_System

    Specifically, the driver monitoring system includes a CCD camera placed on the steering column which tracks the face, [2] via infrared LED detectors. [3] If the driver is not paying attention to the road ahead and a dangerous situation is detected, the system will warn the driver by flashing lights, warning sounds.

  9. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    "Pre sense rear", is designed to reduce the consequences of rear-end collisions. The sunroof and windows are closed and seat belts are prepared for impact. The seats are moved forward to protect the car's occupants. 2015 introduced the "avoidance assistant" system that intervenes in the steering to help the driver avoid an obstacle.
