It reduces the engine idlingtimes, and therefore fuel consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases andnoise, an advantage for all road users, especially in urban areas. For reasons ofsafety and passenger comfort, temperature control commands and control ofvacuum brake force amplifier remain active during phase hitchhiking. If needed, the driver can deactivate the system manually switch through "cross", ie when trafficstarts and stops with repeated busy.
Electric power steering precise answer because
New-developing power assisted steering system with rack (reps) adjustable interms of speed, first used on the Insignia, increases driving dynamics. A significant advantage of the system reps, along with precise power distribution, an exact answer and excellent adhesion, is the increased potential for reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Because it is not permanently based on ahydraulic power steering, electric power steering is active only when necessary.
