Save Money With Automatic Transmission

Cars with automatic transmissions have become increasingly attractive, especially in cities with traffic jams. Conditions that can be understood because the driver no longer operates the clutch and transmission tired when the halting pace car because of traffic.

Even so, the transmission is also complain about. Among other wasteful of fuel and brake linings.

Driving Techniques That Save Fuel
Why so? In fact, the automatic transmission cars wasteful because "torque converter" still spinning when the car stops. That is, the engine needs more fuel than when using a manual transmission. This factor also causes the automatic transmission vehicles cause symptoms of "creep" when stopped in gear stick position in the "D" and the brake pedal is not pressed.

Many users of vehicles with automatic transmission only always use the "D" is not never use overdrive or "OD". And by utilizing the "OD", fuel consumption can be diirit.

Brake Lining
Based on the records of the workshop: a car with automatic transmission every 20,000 miles had to replace the brake. While a car with manual transmission 50,000 km.

This is due, the driver simply use the "D" and never use teeth "D2" or "L". Especially when driving on the derivatives. Consequently, the use of "engine braking" is very rarely or never at all. To slow or stop the car, just relying on the brakes.

Automatic does not mean freeing the driver does not need to change gear and stepped on the clutch. In certain circumstances, for example to accelerate (OD "OFF"), when driving on the freeway (OD "ON"), stopped at a red light, "N", derivative "D2" or "L".

In developing this audio system, Toyota and JBL work intensively so that users can enjoy quality sound Prius SPL (Sound Pressure Level) with higher electricity consumption is much lower - which ends the need for fuel can also be reduced and extended the cruising range when operating with electric motors only. JBL said in a release, GreenEdge engineering technologies in an integrated manner to ensure all speakers, amplifiers, equalization, and even other components work in harmony as a cohesive and efficient system.

Important technology applied by Toyota through GreenEdge;

1. The latest high voltage amplifiers, more efficient energy supply that produces a larger output, but less energy consumption and heat production. Compared to the audio device used by previous Prius, the heat production is much smaller so no longer need to use a cooling fan.
2. New, more efficient speakers. Redesign speakers to optimum even with lower power consumption, the production of maximum acoustic and light weight. At maximum volume, the system uses half the energy of the commonly used audio standard Prius. And also 66% lighter weight. Another plus, four woofers can bekera together as a distributor of the architecture to balance the Performance subwoofer bass.
3. The system uses eight speakers. In the Prius V for example, needs only 120 watts of electricity. But with this new technology, the resulting output is equivalent to 600watt audio.
4. Sophisticated signal-processing device that continuously monitors the performance of each speaker to supply megoptimalkan signal amplifier to each speaker. Combined with a specially designed speaker and active equalization, the technology is able to create a more refined sound, and more dynamic.

Toyota Spare Parts: How to Distinguish Genuine and Counterfeit Parts

How To Distinguish Genuine and Counterfeit Parts - Increased counterfeiting of vehicle components must cause great concern among consumers. Because it should be observed before buying a spare part so as not to get a fake. Consumers should be more careful in choosing the component parts so as not to get a fake. How, by the following steps:

1. Price
Undeniably, the price becomes one of the many reasons why consumers choose a certain spare parts. But remember, when merchants offer the sloping parts for a particular vehicle brand, you need to be vigilant. For parts that may be offered is a fake. Merchants spares average false lure low prices to consumers so that they are interested in purchasing counterfeit parts. "But be careful too, because now the price difference is usually quite thin with original spare parts," he explained.

2. Packaging
Packaging or wrapper of the component parts of the original color and usually has a more clearly written than the fake spare parts. In addition, non-original spare parts too often have a faded pack.

3. Component Used
Once the packaging is opened, it will usually visible component parts in question. You can pay attention to details such as what materials are used in that component. Usually fake spare parts using a component having lower quality than the original. If the original use of materials such as steel, iron is usually a false charge, or even plastic.

4. Guarantee
Note also the warranty provided by the sellers. If the item is authentic, then the seller will provide a direct warranty from the manufacturer of the vehicle in question, such as Toyota, Daihatsu, Honda, and so on. But if the seller only guarantee a store or distributor warranty, spare parts can be sure it's fake. Also as much as possible look for shops that attach the label Genuine Part. Because then typically the seller has been granted a license by the vehicle manufacturer intended to sell the component parts.

5. Doing Service in the Official Workshop

And if you still have problems after doing service, you go right back to the garage where you do such a service, because they usually provide a warranty.
