You may have the best new car. You may be driving the iconic Maruti 800 or the latest Ford Figo, Volkswagen Polo, Nissan Micra or Alto K10. Whatever car you drive, the rains have begun to challenge your driving skills. Are you prepared to challenge the rain and drive your new or used car the right way? Do not worry. To ease your car trips this monsoon, here are the top 10 tips you may want to consider. Read on!

Tip 1: Skidding while driving in the rain can be scary and dangerous too. Never rush in the rain. Drive slowly and carefully.

Tip 2: Extra care and gentleness is required while driving in the rain. While you are about to take a turn, take care to steer and brake with light touches.

Tip 3: There are puddles everywhere. But, as far as possible, stay away from them. If it's impossible to escape a puddle, apply slight pressure or tap on the brake pedal lightly. It will help take off some of the water on the car rotors.

Tip 4: During the rainy season, it is best advised to follow and not overtake. See if you can drive in the tyre tracks left by automobiles ahead of you. Allow the car in front to pave a path through the water so that you can safely follow. And, if the rains are heavy enough to significantly obstruct your vision, it's safer to pull over and wait it out.

Tip 5: In spite of trying your best to avoid a skid, you may end up skidding. Do not panic. That's exactly the time you need to stay composed. Panicking may double your trouble.

Slowly ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and steer the car carefully in the direction you want the car to move. You have an advantage if your car is equipped with ABS. Modulate the brakes while steering the car.

Tip 6: Tyres need to be properly inflated at all times, especially during the raining season. When water under your car tyres cannot drain through the tyre grooves on time, the car tends to skid due the thin layer of water in between the tyres and road surface. The condition is called aquaplaning and you may not be able to steer, brake or accelerate. Be sure to maintain enough tread depth on your tyres. Replace the tyres when necessary.

Tip 7: Braking hard or locking up the wheels can result in a risky skid. So, when you want to stop your running car while driving in the rain, do so gently; apply the brakes lightly. Also, brake earlier than you would otherwise.

Tip 8: Rains always mean that you need to be extra careful and watchful. Keep an open eye for pedestrians. Rains can be loud enough to deafen the car horn. Moreover, pedestrians could get distracted fiddling with their umbrellas. Adding a little more precaution could prevent a car accident.

Tip 9: While driving in the rain, even if it's a light drizzle, turn your headlights on. That would help you see the road more clearly and will also make you visible to other drivers. If your car has fog lights, turn them on. They will shed that extra bit of light you would need on a rainy road.

However, do not flash high-intensity beams. While blinding others on the road, they are going to obstruct your vision too. The rain is going to reflect the sharp beam back at you.

Tip 10: Once again, avoid heavy braking and turning suddenly. When you feel you've lost control, ease your foot off the accelerator. You will start feeling the road again, once the car slows down.

Automotive System Integration Growth Advances

It doesn't seem too long ago that the electrical system in a vehicle was mostly concerned with lights, starter motors, radios and windshield wipers. Those days are long gone. The automotive industry is currently realizing a dramatic increase of electronic equipment for onboard vehicle control. In modern cars, a variety of electronic control units (ECU) delivers sophisticated real-time control functionality.

In the automotive industry, there is little doubt that electronics growth will continue. To remain competitive, it is crucial to seamlessly integrate the new technology. Whether it's an entertainment system, keyless entry, a back-up camera or touch screen navigation, the role of the automotive manufacturer is increasingly becoming that of a system integrator working closely with its suppliers.

There is a long tradition in the industry of working with suppliers, and a number of suppliers that exist deliver similar systems to vehicle manufacturers. Automotive suppliers are more than happy to fill the needs of manufacturers, and the ever increasing importance of electronics in automobiles brings with it a growing challenge and need for low-cost, reliable electronic systems. These systems are not isolated and must communicate with each other.

Historically, automotive electronics have relied on proprietary, dedicated wire communication schemes (at least for many sensor systems) and directly wired power outputs. This has led to excessive wiring, and wiring consumes space, adds weight and expense, and can be difficult to maintain.

Fortunately, advances in vehicle-networking standards are addressing these issues with the wide adoption of Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) architecture. These network standards are providing a balance between performance and cost optimization across automotive systems. CAN provides a high-speed network for chassis, powertrain and body-backbone communications, while LIN answers the need for a simple network for sensor and actuator subsystems that reduces cost and improves robustness through standardization. Together, the vehicle networking standards and advanced mixed-signal processes provide an opportunity for automotive manufacturers to introduce affordable new electronic systems as well as reduce costs. They also improve maintenance and reliability while providing advanced convenience and safety features, like collision avoidance.

The widespread adoption of CAN and LIN standards is an important development for automotive electronics and becomes much more significant in conjunction with recent advances in mixed-signal semiconductor processes.

Adopting standardized vehicle-networking architectures and using more highly integrated mixed-signal ICs bring several advantages at the system level. The first is an improvement in a system's robustness and diagnostics. By adopting standardized networks for two-way communication, diagnostic and failure information can be obtained when there are issues with the system.

The second is a reduction in wiring requirements. Using standardized vehicle-networking architectures, it is possible to build a feature- and diagnostic-rich system that requires only three wires. Reduced wiring requirements have less cost, less weight, will be easier to install at the factory, and will help reduce the potential for failure.

Integration also leads to other advantages and savings. Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and housings can be smaller, allowing for improved and more flexible placement in the vehicle, with less concern about where and how to run the wires. Through the use of fewer components, there are fewer items to keep in inventory, qualify and monitor. Some of these factors also lead to a reduction in weight and space consumption, factors that are always important in vehicle design.

This advance is another step in increasing the intelligence and capabilities of automotive systems. We're already witnessing this increased intelligence and capability with complex navigation systems, Internet access, passenger entertainment, ABS brakes, engine management systems and advanced stability control. The next generation of mixed-signal automotive integrated circuits (ICs) will integrate even more performance and processing power. It will provide programmable features and added flexibility that will be used to address the automotive electronic system needs of tomorrow. As these systems become more advanced, the possibilities are limited only by the applications that vehicle designers can imagine and that the end customer is willing to purchase.

1993 Nissan Quest. Did all models came with ABS? missing!?

Hi, my 1993 Nissan Quest (bought it new back in 1993)is missing the ABS module actuator. My question is, did ALL QUEST models (GXE and XE) came with ABS? Standard ABS? I was 5 years old back then, so its not my car, its my parents.

Could they have stolen the module and wheel sensors? Why would they do that? Can the abs actuator module work with a different ECU of another car? Im thinking they stole...

here is a link of what it looks like, these one is from ANOTHER CAR and the QUEST actuator is a bit larger:

HELP!!

it probably came with the ABS, but may have given your parents a problem for some reason, and they took it out, which is what i would have done, because i just dont like ABS, one day it kicked in on our jeep and let me slide right into the ditch, came real close to getting stuck, if i had been driving my '85 GMC truck i would have been fine, ABS is for fools who dont know how to drive
