4. SECURITY AND CONFORT
Air Bag: The air bag (in English, airbag) is a passive safety system
installed in most modern cars. This system was patented on October 23, 1971
by Mercedes-Benz signature, after five years of development and testing of
the new system.

5. Seat belt: No seat belt is a harness designed to restrain an occupant of a
vehicle if a collision occurs and keep his seat. First used in aircraft in the
1930s and, after years of controversy, its use in cars is now mandatory in
many countries. The seat belt system is considered the most effective passive
safety device ever invented, including air bag ("airbag" in English), the
deformable body or any technical advancement today.

6. Instruments and Controls
Tachometer: s a device that measures the speed of rotation of a shaft,
usually the rotational speed of a motor. It is measured in revolutions per
minute (RPM). Currently most commonly used digital tachometers, for their
accuracy.

7. Speedometer
Picture of a car that includes a speedometer (left), a tachometer (right), along
with other information and control devices.
An instrument is a speedometer which measures the value of the average
speed of a vehicle. Because the measured interval at which this speed is
generally very small closely approximates the magnitude of the instantaneous
speed, ie the instantaneous speed.
Suspensión Systems
7
8. The suspension in a car, truck or motorcycle, is the set of elements that absorb
terrain irregularities by which circulates to increase comfort and control. The
suspension system acting between the chassis and the wheels, which directly
receive the busy surface irregularities.
8
9. Upper arm: Kinematic element for attaching the wheel to the body. This
element is to define the relative position of the wheel relative to the body and
simultaneously to convey some of the efforts that must exchange wheel and
body (the remainder is absorbed by the suspension springs). Can be
constituted by one or several arms arranged, referring to the car, in the
longitudinal, transverse and oblique even.
Stabilizer Bar
9
10. The stabilizer bar is a component of the suspension solidarize allowing
vertical movement of the opposite wheels, thereby minimizing the lateral
inclination suffering a vehicle body when subjected to centripetal force,
typically in curves.
Damper: The damper is a device that absorbs energy, normally used to
reduce unwanted oscillations of a periodic motion or to absorb energy from
impacts or shocks.

12. System of Direction
Steering column:
The function of the steering column is to transmit the rotational movement of
the wheel until the steering mechanism, which in turn take care of the wheels
move in the direction required by the driver. The resistance to rotation of the
steering wheel should be the same all the way to ensure fluidity in their
movement and discarded the appearance of parasites or cyclical efforts.

13. Steering gear
Gear steering gear unit has two steering gear a worm gear and gear sector
section or straight. A gear rack and a pinion gear are two types used in a
steering gear rack and pinion.

14. Steering knuckle
In automotive suspension, a steering knuckle is that part which contains the
wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension components. It is
variously called a steering knuckle, spindle, upright or hub, as well.
