Updated on April 20, 2021 - Have you ever wondered how to start your BMW car when the battery of the key fob drains out? We tell you how to do that in this article, so read it till the end. 



Original Article - December 25, 2019 - Nowadays, we see most cars coming with keyless entry and a start-stop function. It may seem fancy and useful to some, it sure has its drawbacks. What if the battery of the key fob drains out and you need a manual start? Or if the battery of the car is out then you might not be able to enter with the keyless!



Well, to answer your question as to how to get inside the car
and start it, we explain this situation with an example of BMW. Like how to
turn the ignition of the BMW if the keyfob isn't working! Here is a step by
step guide to answer all your queries:



Step 1: Remove the metal blade from the BMW key fob. You can find it on the other side of the buttons.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/BMW-Start-Stop.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-295"/></figure>



Step 2: Now, the next step is to get inside the vehicle and
with that metal piece, unlock the driver side door of the vehicle.



Step 3: Place the key in the ignition slot. Now, if your BMW
is deprived of the slot then place the keyfob next to the right of the steering
column. You may find the key figure in the steering column.



Step 4: Press the brake pedal and push the start/stop button. If your vehicle has a manual gearbox then press the clutch and then press the button.

If the vehicle does not start then the key wasn't recognised.
You may also get a check control message for the same on the dashboard. Try the
same procedure again but with a gap of at least 3 seconds.



Note - Sometimes the radio frequency can be a hindrance with
the frequency of the BMW key. The electronic devices in your pocket or the
one's charging can be interfering.

Update - 19/04/2021 - While we have come through several posts of manual cars with CNG kit and some of the examples are from Maruti which provides factory-fitted CNG cars. In this article, we explain the pros and cons along with our final verdict if CNG can be opted for automatic cars.



With petrol prices going up every day and with increasing traffic jams on the roads, the running costs of petrol cars are increasing at a brisk rate. In addition to this, the air pollution levels are also touching new highs with each passing day. All these conditions have led to an increase in the demand of CNG powered vehicles as CNG is not just a cleaner fuel but costs way less than petrol. While we do have many companies that offer CNG powered cars with a manual transmission, no company offers an automatic CNG car. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/cng-station-1280x720-1.jpg" alt="Can We Install CNG In Automatic Cars" class="wp-image-13363"/></figure>



<h5> How Is A Petrol Car Converted To CNG?</h5>



As of now, there are a number of companies that are offering cars with factory fitted CNG kits. However, as we discussed before, no automatic car comes with a CNG kit from the factory. In such cases, we can get a CNG kit retrofitted from outside. There are three types of CNG kits available in the market - open-loop, closed-loop, and sequential kit. While it is the open-loop kit that works out to be the cheapest, we recommend you to go with a sequential kit as it is safest and gives the best performance amongst the three. With the basics being sorted, we will not go into the detailed procedure of the installation of the CNG kits. If you are interested to know more about the installation procedure, join our 91Wheels Auto Enthusiasts Whatsapp Group. (Click on the link via mobile to join)



Usually, after the installation of a CNG kit, a petrol car can be run on petrol mode or on the CNG mode. A CNG tank is installed in the boot to store the gas. As of now, CNG is available in almost all metropolitan cities and other major cities. With this being said, the answer to the question 'can we install CNG in Automatic cars?' is a big yes!



Yes, there is no problem with installing a CNG kit in a petrol automatic car. Let us take a look at the pros and cons of installing a CNG kit in automatic cars.

<h5>Pros:</h5>



<ol><li>It will save a lot of money on fuel bills.</li><li>The vehicle will pollute lesser than before.</li><li>Reduces maintenance costs: Since CNG contains no lead, the spark plug life is extended. Similarly, CNG does not react and contaminate other components of the engine and the engine oil.</li><li>Performance Advantage: Natural Gas gets an octane rating of around 127 which decreases the chances of knocking, and vapor locking. In addition to this, severe weather conditions do not take a toll on the ignition efficiency of the vehicle. </li></ol>



<h5>Cons</h5>



<ol><li>The warranty of the vehicle will stand void as soon as a CNG kit is installed in the vehicle.</li><li>The boot space is occupied by the CNG cylinder, making it difficult to carry large luggage.</li><li>The performance of the vehicle will go down by a significant margin.</li></ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Maruti-Celerio-Green-CNG-press-shot-CNG-tank.jpg" alt="Can We Install CNG In Automatic Cars" class="wp-image-13483"/></figure>



<h5>Precautions</h5>



<ol><li>You should get the kit installed from government authorized CNG installers.</li><li>A sequential kit is expensive but performs better and is more reliable. A sequential kit should be your first choice. </li><li>Do not go for cheap kits</li></ol>



<h5>Final Verdict</h5>



If you are someone who needs a car strictly for commute and if you are someone who does not push the car to have that occasional fun, then getting a CNG kit in your automatic car is highly recommended. As of now, we have not encountered any instances or examples where a CNG kit has failed to perform in an automatic car. However, do not forget to take the necessary precautions while doing so.

Can We Install CNG In Automatic Cars? All You Need To Know

Update - 19/04/2020 - The new prices of the Kia Sonet range from Rs 6.79 lakh and the top model fetches Rs 13.20 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. The carmaker has also discontinued the HTK Plus 1.0L DCT and HTK Plus 1.5L Diesel AT. 



Kia Motors India has steamrolled its competition and people already had the trust in KIA. Being a sister brand of Hyundai, buyers didn't have a second thought for the purchase - at least for the ownership experience and service costs. We earlier explained the service costs of Kia Seltos and Kia Carnival and now its time for the Sonet. Kia offers the Sonet with four engine options - 1.5-litre diesel WGT, 1.5-litre diesel VGT, 1.0-litre turbo petrol and 1.2-litre petrol engine. We explain to you the service cost of all the engines offered with the Kia Sonet. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sonet_Tracking-47.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Service Cost " class="wp-image-20921"/></figure>



<h4>Kia Sonet Petrol Service Cost - 1.2L and 1.0L Turbo</h4>



Kia Sonet comes with two petrol engine options - 1.2-litre NA petrol and 1.0-litre turbo petrol. While the 1.2-litre is only available with a 5-speed manual in lower trims only, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol is offered in top trims with either a 6-speed iMT or 7-speed DCT. The 1.2-litre petrol engine produces 83PS and 113 Nm of torque whereas the 1.0-litre turbo produces 120PS and 172 Nm of torque. Talking about the service costs, you can refer to the table below:



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Service Interval</td><td>Kia Sonet 1.2</td><td>Kia Sonet 1.0</td></tr><tr><td>1st and 2nd Service</td><td>NIL</td><td>NIL</td></tr><tr><td>3rd Service (10,000 km or 1 year)</td><td>Rs 2,485</td><td>Rs 3,150</td></tr><tr><td>4th Service (20,000 km or 2 years)</td><td>Rs 4,840</td><td>Rs 5,505</td></tr><tr><td>5th Service (30,000 km or 3 years)</td><td>Rs 4,820</td><td>Rs 5,485</td></tr><tr><td>6th Service (40,000 km or 4 years)</td><td>Rs 5,705</td><td>Rs 6,554</td></tr><tr><td>7th Service (50,000 km or 5 years)</td><td>Rs 4,995</td><td>Rs 5,670</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-grey.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20851"/></figure>

The service costs mentioned are indicative and expect to change with additional wear and tear. The above service costs also include the cost of wheel alignment and balancing which will be done at Kia's official service dealership. As Kia uses an iMT in place of the normal 6-speed manual transmission, it needs the iMT fluid at regular intervals but it would just cost Rs 56 per top-up.



<h4>Kia Sonet diesel Service Cost </h4>



Kia Sonet is offered with the most fuel-efficient diesel engine in its class. The powerhouse is a 1.5-litre diesel engine which is sold in two tunes - 100PS (WGT) and 115PS (VGT). The 1.5 VGT produces 115PS and 250 Nm of torque, mated with the 6-speed automatic only. The 1.5 WGT produces 100PS and 240 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission only. The 1.5 6AT is the same powertrain we also see in the Creta, Seltos, Verna and Elantra. You can see the service costs of Kia Sonet Diesel in the table below:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2-1.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Service Cost " class="wp-image-19449"/></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Service Interval</td><td>Kia Sonet Diesel </td></tr><tr><td>1st and 2nd Service</td><td>NIL</td></tr><tr><td>3rd Service (10,000 km or 1 year)</td><td>Rs 3,674</td></tr><tr><td>4th Service (20,000 km or 2 years)</td><td>Rs 5,698</td></tr><tr><td>5th Service (30,000 km or 3 years)</td><td>Rs 5,690</td></tr><tr><td>6th Service (40,000 km or 4 years)</td><td>Rs 6,898</td></tr><tr><td>7th Service (50,000 km or 5 years)</td><td>Rs 5,864</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

The service costs mentioned above are again indicative and expect to change with any additional wear and tear. The wheel alignment costs are included in the cost chart which is scheduled to happen every 10,000 km. The service cost of the Sonet is very affordable and the diesel engine is not expensive to maintain either. The basic servicing includes air filter and engine oil replacement whereas the brake and clutch fluid and fuel filter are changed every 30,000 km and 40,000 km respectively.

Updated on April 19, 2021 - In this article, you will get to know what are hypothecation charges and should you pay more for them. Also, in case you wanna know how to remove hypothecation from your vehicle, you can click <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/how-to-remove-hypothecation-from-your-vehicle-details/">HERE</a>. You can also check the cancellation of hypothecation from your RC by clicking <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/hypothecation-cancellation-rc-online/">HERE.</a>



Original Article - July 25, 2020; Buying a car is everyone's dream, be it a budget hatchback or a full-size SUV. While having a car is a necessity these days, there is a theory that one should not buy a car on a Loan. It attracts hypothecation and further charges. Well, should you buy a car on a Loan? Or via cash? We answer your query. 



If you see the car-buying culture in India then almost all people pull up a loan to buy their car. In most cases, the bank finances the car till 85%-90% and then you pay the remaining amount. Here, what happens is there are some hypothecation charges which the bank charges and in the RC too, the bank is the owner of the car.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Hypothecation.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17440"/></figure>



Let me first tell you about what does Hypothecation means? Suppose if you own a car and opt for the financing schemes. Then the majority of the money is provided by the bank and in that case the original paper and in the RC also, the bank is the rightful owner of your car. This is done to make sure that the required EMIs are duly filled with time and there is no delay in them.

So that means that your car is an asset to them and the bank enjoys the possession of the car until you have paid all the interest money to the bank. The payment can be done before the time period also and you can get the complete ownership of your car in the RC. 



Hypothecation charges are paid by the customer because they are opting for the loan of their car. If you are buying your car with the direct flow from your account to the required dealership account then you need not pay the hypothecation charges. It is only done in case if you finance the car from the bank. However, some car showrooms end up adding this cost in the final on-road price and this is the reason why you must keep an eye on the complete break-up of charges.

Currently, the hypothecation charges are as high as Rs 1500 for a car and Rs 300 to Rs 500 for two-wheelers. This updated rule is from 2017 and now you might have to check with the dealer and the bank as to what are they charging currently.

Updated on April 17, 2021 - India is one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world. Now, most Indians use a motorcycle as their primary mode of transport as the commuter ones offer good fuel economy. In this article, we will be telling you the different ways to calculate the mileage of your bike. 



Original Article - June 8, 2020; Fuel is becoming more expensive day by day and it's only smart to keep track of how much fuel is your vehicle is consuming. You should calculate the mileage of a bike on a bi-monthly basis so that you can get to know at the earliest when the fuel consumption is increasing. An increase in fuel consumption could be an indicator of bigger issues with the motorcycle as well. These could range from underinflated tyres, low levels of oil, clogged fuel and air filters or even defective spark plugs. It could also be an indication that you might need to tweak your riding style a bit if you're too aggressive with the throttle and the braking to get better fuel efficiency.



There are basically two methods to calculate the mileage of a bike. Do note mileage is also referred to as 'average' or 'fuel economy' or 'fuel efficiency.' Which method you use depends on the type of motorcycle you have.



First Method The first method involves filling your fuel tank to the brim. (Try to remember the exact point till which you filled it). Next, set the trip meter to 0 and ride for at least about 150-200 kilometres. You don't have to do this all at once but make sure that you do cover at least this much distance before you fill your tank again. The more distance you ride the better it is but make sure that you're nowhere close to emptying the tank. Now once you've covered the desired distance, fill your tank again precisely up to the same spot that you filled it before and note down the quantity of fuel you've had to fill. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/13-3.jpg" alt="calculate mileage of a bike" class="wp-image-11991"/></figure>



Next, use this formula to calculate your mileage: So let's say you rode about 150 kms and then filled 4 litres of fuel to fill your tank till the same spot again. Then the mileage would be: Distance travelled (odometer reading) / fuel used or fuel refilled = 150/ 4 = 37.5km/l



Second method The second method is only applicable to bikes that come with a petcock fuel tap valve. This was common with carburetted motorcycles that were on sale before BS6 norms kicked in. Ride your bike until your main tank is empty. Once your motorcycle won't budge because there's literally not a drop of fuel left, use the fuel tap and put it on 'Reserve'. Once in reserve put the odometer to 0 and ride to the closest petrol pump and fill precisely one litre of fuel. Turn the fuel tap switch back to 'On' which only allows it to use the main tank for fuel.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/maxresdefault-33-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-11992"/></figure>



Now, again keep riding till your main tank becomes completely empty again. Once its empty, read the odometer reading and that number will be the mileage that your bike is giving. The same formula is applicable here also - fuel economy = distance travelled divided by fuel filled.

Cheapest CVT Cars In India Under 8 Lakh Rupees

Update on 16.04.2021 - There are several myths that involve increasing the height of your car seat. If you pick the standard version then you do not get the seat height adjuster and there are several ways where you can increase the seat height of your car. What are those? Let's find out!



One has to find a perfect balance in the seating posture when they are driving a car. The right seating position will help you in covering long journeys in a much easier and relaxed manner. Also, the added benefit is that you can take control of the steering wheel and the functionalities of the car easily. Thus a car with a height adjuster is the key and if your car doesn't have a seat height adjuster, we tell you some of the ways where you can increase the seat height of your car.



With recent times and technologies, cars are coming with six-way, eight-way, 10-way and even 12-way adjustable driver’s seat to give a correct seating position. In addition, you also get a tilt and telescopic steering wheel for more comfort. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Seat-Height.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17495"/></figure>



If you closely observe then all these configurations are mostly offered in the higher trims of any car and not many people opt for the top variants. Many stick to the base variant and if someone is running on a budget then they buy the entry-level trim. So how does one increase the height of the seat of their car if they are on a budget?

Adjust your car seat where your feet are comfortable reaching to the pedals. And then tilt the seat by 30-40 degrees angle to get the best of the front view of the windshield. This position will help in beating the stress of long journeys and also keep you at a minimal distance from the steering wheel. Often, people position the steering wheel too close and in any crash, the airbags deploy and cause injury to the driver.

If you don’t have the height seat adjuster then you can always go for the aftermarket options. Well, they won’t provide you with the same accessory but they have enough options to raise the height of the seat.

You can go for the aftermarket seat covers (bucket cover preferably) which provides more cushioning and hugs you when you sit inside. You can also ask the professional to add foam-rubber layers to the seat so the height is increased without altering to any pain in the future. Similarly, for better under-thigh support, extra padding comes to the rescue and the same works for the lumbar support.

Now, if you do not wish to spend much on the cushioning of seats and putting new covers then you can also rely on the cushions. No, we are not referring to the car cushions but the professional ones which are specially designed for the cars. The cushions will come under Rs 1000 and will provide the right amount of comfort and increased height and will be suitable for long journeys and in traffic conditions.

This Is How You Can Increase Your Car Seat Height

Updated on April 16, 2021 - We all love to modify our bikes, to make them look cool and unique and sometimes to extract more performance too. But, do you know what are the procedures for the modified bike registration in India? In this article, we will tell you all about the registration of modified bike in our country. 



Original Article - December 19, 2019; “You just want attention…..you don’t want my heart” 



Oh, if only our bikes could sing out their feelings. We hate to admit it but it's true. We all care about our bike's appearance and talk a tad bit more about it than what actually powers the machine. We all love it when our bikes get attention; heads turning when you go past a crowd with that screaming exhaust. Those racy decals that make it seem like its fresh off the race track. Despite the additional investments that these modifications entail, it wasn’t uncommon to come across such modified bikes pretty frequently. 



2019 however changed the game for a lot of people. The Honourable Supreme Court of India in 2019 ruled that “No vehicle can be altered so as to change original specification made by the manufacturer. Such particulars cannot be altered, which have been specified by the manufacturer for the purpose of entry in the certificate of registration.” This decision was taken in lieu of the original decision by the Kerala High Court and the Supreme Court suggested that the high court’s decision failed to give effect to the provisions contained in section 52 of the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. Hence, any major modifications on vehicles have been completely banned and any alterations to the original specifications will now be illegal.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/IMG_9491.jpg" alt="Modified Bike Registration" class="wp-image-497"/></figure>



So what does this mean for those who wish to convert their fairly simple bikes into a handsome roaring beast? Well, in short, the Supreme Court has a blanket ban on all modifications that change any of the original specs given by the manufacturer to the govt. These specs include performance specs, dimensions of your bike, brakes, exhausts etc. Almost everything in fact is untouchable except a few little things about which we will tell you down below. This also brings us to the big question: is modified bike registration possible anymore? 



Can I register my bike now if I’ve already modified it? If you have already modified your bike and are now looking for a way to register it, we’re sorry but it will simply not be possible. Any RTO today will simply refuse to register your bike unless it has its original specifications. If you don’t register and you’re caught, the bike will be impounded. So in a nutshell, no, it is currently not possible to register any bike which does not match its original RC book that was issued when it was first bought. What can be legally modified in a bike? 1) The colour of your bike can be changed as the Supreme Court specifically said that changing the colour of the vehicle to any “RTO – approved” colours will be allowed. This means that you can either wrap your bike or do a custom paint job as long as you take prior permission from the local RTO to do so. 



2) Extremely minor fitments and modification like winglets, visors, decals, tail tidys, engine bellys etc can be added and are legal.



3) It is also allowed to change the tyres if the manufacturers offer different spec tyres for the base and the top variant. You can change the tyres then to match the ones on the top spec variant.



4) The engine can also be changed provided your current engine is damaged or is not safe enough to operate, but even this requires prior permission from the RTO. You will have to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the RTO first to allow you to change the engine and then apply for re-registration once the engine is changed. If your old engine is in working condition then this won’t be allowed. Also, both the old and the new engines have to run on the same fuel. If the protocols are not followed, the vehicle’s registration can be cancelled.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/5cc7f8733a2e1.jpg" alt="Modified Bike Registration" class="wp-image-499"/></figure>



How to take permission from the RTO for colour changes. 1) So the first step is to take your RC book along with a sample and precise name of the colour you wish to paint your bike to the authorised RTO under whose jurisdiction your vehicle is registered. 2) Fill the form for requesting an approval for colour change ( NAMV form) and get a signed letter of approval from the RTO for the colour change. 3) Go to a reputed workshop that can wrap or paint your bike properly. Always use good quality wraps and paints for the job. Get your vehicle painted in the same colour for which you got your approval. 4) Now, take your vehicle to the RTO, show the colour and the RTO approval letter, pay the necessary fees and get your RC book entry edited by the Authorized RTO officer. It is important to note that you cannot paint your vehicle’s colour to Olive Green or Military Green. These colours are not permitted for civilian use and are only meant for defence vehicles. This is precisely the reason why the Royal Enfield’s Battle green (Classic 500 in the military green) is not available for sale to civilians in India. It is however exported to other markets outside India. Apart from the Military colours, camouflage patterns are also not permitted for civilian use.

Like removing the hypothecation from the RC of your vehicle which was a tedious task, checking the HP removal online is a much easier process.



Below are the steps which help you smoothen up the process of hypothecation cancellation from your RC



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Hypothecation-Cancellation.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13219"/></figure>

In that case, you need to contact the registered Regional Transport Office and maybe even visit on further instructions. There is a minimal chance of getting this notification since the officials present at the RTO verifies your documents in the first place only so there is no delay in the process.

This Is How You Can Check Cancellation Of Hypothecation From Your RC

Update On 15/04/2021 - We have seen several additions in technologies and convenience for the two-wheeler market and slipper clutch is one basic feature that now comes in affordable bikes now. But what is a slipper clutch and how it benefits the rider and is it better than the normal one? We will answer everything related to it in this article. 



India is one of the largest two-wheeler markets in the world. In the past few years, we have seen new additions in the affordable 200-400cc motorcycle segment in the country. These high-capacity motorcycles offer a plethora of features, including some high-end safety equipment too. Well, Slipper Clutch is a name, you all must have heard at least once. Earlier, it used to be available only in high-end mid-capacity and litre-class bikes. But now, thanks to the advancement in technology, we get assist &amp; slipper clutch in some affordable bikes too. Many bike manufacturers even boast of a slipper clutch in their marketing campaigns. So, you all must have wondered What is a Slipper Clutch, what are its Pros and Cons? How does it work? Is it any different from the regular clutch? And to answer all these queries, here we have a detailed article on the Slipper Clutch.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/slipper-clutch-1.jpg" alt="what is a slipper clutch " class="wp-image-12712"/></figure></div>



<h6>What is a Slipper Clutch?</h6>



So, if you google it, the Wikipedia answer will be "A slipper clutch is a specialized clutch with an integrated freewheel mechanism, developed for performance-oriented motorcycles to mitigate the effects of engine braking when riders decelerate." This is a bit complex, so let me break it down for you in simple layman term. Imagine you are cruising on a normal motorcycle (without slipper clutch) on an empty highway at the speed of around 100 - 120 kmph and suddenly a cow comes in front you (which is quite possible on Indian highways), what will you do? So, the first thought will be to apply brakes &amp; shift to lower gears and once you do that, there is a high possibility that&nbsp;your motorcycle will go out of control and you will end up in a high-speed collision/accident as the motorcycle is running at high speed, you have very less time to act and the rear wheel might get locked-up.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/KTM-390-Adventure-Features.jpg" alt="ktm 390 adventure bs6 price in india" class="wp-image-12715"/></figure></div>



This is when the Slipper Clutch comes into the play. To tackle such type of situations at ease, Slipper Clutch&nbsp;(also known as back-torque limiter clutch) was introduced. The main purpose of a slipper clutch is to prevent over-revving of the engine and rear-wheel hop (or clatter) under hard braking scenarios in a motor vehicle. The slipper clutch helps by allowing the clutch to partially slip until the engine speed matches the speed of the vehicle. In vehicles equipped with a normal clutch, the engine braking force is transmitted to the rear wheel via its chain drive which causes the rear wheel to wobble and may eventually lose traction. The main function of a slipper clutch is to control the rear wheel of the bike under hard braking and downshifting scenarios.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/apache-200-4v-3.jpg" alt="tvs apache rtr 200 4v bs6 price in india most affordable bike with slipper clutch in india" class="wp-image-12716"/><figcaption>TVS Apache RTR 200 4V BS6 is the most affordable bike in India with a Slipper Clutch</figcaption></figure></div>



<h6>What Is Engine Braking? </h6>



Before I explain in detail how does a slipper clutch work, let me tell you about Engine Braking. You might have heard this term too. So, we will explain to you this term too with the help of an example. Again imagine you are riding on a motorcycle. So, when you open the throttle, the engine produces an accelerating effect by sending positive torque to the rear wheel through the clutch and transmission. On the other hand, when you are off the gas, the engine sends negative torque to the rear wheel, creating a braking effect. This braking effect is called Engine Braking. That's because in this case, you are not applying brakes, instead, it is the engine that produces a retarding effect on the rear wheel. Engine Braking is useful as it reduces the speed of the vehicle without actually using brakes but it can be harmful if you are an amateur rider or accidentally downshift too aggressively.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/slipper-clutch-2.jpg" alt="how does a slipper clutch work can a slipper clutch can be installed on a bike" class="wp-image-12714"/></figure></div>



<h6>How does a Slipper Clutch work?</h6>



The main difference between a slipper clutch and a normal clutch is the clutch hub. A slipper clutch assembly uses ramps to drive apart from the clutch plates and these ramps are built into the inner basket as well as the pressure plate. These ramps can slip or slide in the direction of the rotation of the wheel. So, with this kind of advanced &amp; complex arrangement, even if you downshift more than one or two gears at a time, the rear wheel won’t be able to over-rev the engine. In such scenarios, the ramps slide or slip over each other, pushing the pressure plate away from the clutch and thus avoiding engine over-revving, rear-wheel locking or hop. In simple terms, a slipper clutch disengages or ‘slips’ until the engine speed i.e. the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) matches the speed of the vehicle.

<h6>What is an Assist &amp; Slipper Clutch? Can we install a Slipper Clutch in any bike?</h6>



Until now, we have explained to you about the slipper clutch but additionally, some people will also ask about assist &amp; slipper clutch. In today's day and age, you will mostly find an assist &amp; slipper clutch in most bikes. So, an assist &amp; slipper clutch also does the same job what a slipper clutch does but along with that, it has a lighter pull on the clutch lever. Next, some people have a query if they can install a slipper clutch in any bike? So, the one-word answer to this question is No! It is not advisable to install after-market slipper clutch because it is a very complex mechanism. If they are not installed properly, it won’t deliver the desired results and can also harm the engine, gearbox and your own life too. So, we will advise you not to install it on your bike, better to get a bike which gets a factory-fitted slipper clutch.

<h6>Pros and Cons of a Slipper Clutch</h6>



Hitherto, we have discussed what is a slipper clutch, how does it works, can it be retro-fitted etc. Finally, coming to our last point of discussion that what are the Pros and Cons of having a Slipper Clutch:



Pros



<ul><li>A Slipper Clutch reduces the effects of engine braking.</li><li>It also reduces wear and tear on the engine and transmission, thereby improving its durability.</li><li>A Slipper Clutch prevents the rear-wheel from locking-up in case of any uncertain situation. </li><li>Slipper Clutch improves the performance of the motorcycle.</li><li>One can enjoy a tension-free ride on a bike equipped with a slipper clutch as he/she need not worry about accidental downshifts.</li></ul>



Cons



<ul><li>It is a complex mechanism and so cannot be retrofitted.</li><li>A slipper clutch is an advanced technology and so they are still found in expensive motorcycles only.</li></ul>

<h4>How To Ride Scooty in 5 Simple Steps</h4>



Step 1: Know Your Scooter



Before we begin riding any new machine, the first thing we need to do is to know about that machine. So, before you start riding a scooter, you need to know basic things about the scooter. In a gearless scooter, you need to press the rear brake and start the scooter with the help of the electric start button. It is advisable that we should hold the rear brake while starting the scooter because otherwise, the vehicle will tend to move forward on its own. In a scooter, both the brakes are placed on the handlebar. The right side of the handlebar has the accelerator and the front brake lever while the left side of the handlebar has the rear brake lever.



Step 2: Sitting on the Saddle and Starting the Scooter



Now, as you know about the basic parts of the scooter, so now you need to sit on your scooter and start it. The gearless scooters have a very low saddle height (seat height) and comfortable sitting posture, so you can easily sit on it. But, make sure you sit upright and straight. Don't lean more towards the handlebar or your left or right as this might cause hindrance in driving. Also, it might disbalance the vehicle and you might fell down. Now, as you are comfortable, start the scooter with the electric start button and don't forget to press the brake lever. You can also start it with the help of the kick.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pleasure-alia-2.jpg" alt="How To Ride Scooty " class="wp-image-17517"/></figure>

Step 3: Start Riding and Balancing



Now, as you have started your scooter safely, let's now start to ride it. Please make sure you are on a good smooth surface as you are riding it for the first time. So after starting the scooter, start leaving the brake lever slowly and you will notice that the scooter has started moving forward. Gradually, leave the brake lever completely, place your legs up on the footboard and start giving it throttle with the help of the accelerator. Don't rev the nuts out of it. Just twist the throttle slightly and you will notice that in no time you have crossed 30-40 kmph. As you are a beginner, don't cross 40 kmph and keep riding at a constant speed on a straight road. Also, try to maintain the balance of the vehicle by sitting in a constant position and if you are afraid, you can keep your legs down.



Step 4: Know How to Brake and Turn the Scooter



Now, as you have started riding the scooter at good speeds and know how to balance it, so the next thing you need to know is how to apply the brakes. As mentioned earlier, the front brake is the right lever while the rear brake is handled by the left lever. Try to decrease the speed of the vehicle gradually by applying the rear brakes, i.e. by pressing the left lever. Don't press the brake lever all of a sudden as the tyres might skid. After reaching the final destination, apply the front brake to stop it completely. For turning the scooter, you need to place your one leg on the ground and show the handlebar its direction. Turn the vehicle at slow speeds and use the brakes accordingly.

Step 5: Ride in Traffic 



Now that you know, all the basic things about to the scooter and know how to ride it properly, its time you take it on the roads. If you are riding on the main roads of the city for the first time, it is advisable that you take someone as the pillion who is having a driving license. Also, you need to have at least the learner license. Now, to become a good rider you need to drive on the main roads and know how to filter through the traffic. You have to constantly alter the speed, throttle response and apply brakes according to the traffic condition. Don't lose your confidence, ride very confidently but don't be overconfident. You may also need to encounter idiots on the roads, so take care of that and don't race on public roads.

There are several questions as to how the F1 Drivers pee when they are involved in a race. Do they have a special suit which they wear so they can pee while driving the car at high speeds? Or they have to hold the pee and wait for the next pit stop? But if they do the latter then they will be easily left far behind? In this article, we showcase what these F1 Drivers do. 



Formula 1 is one of the most technologically advanced and ultramodern single-seater auto racing events that exist on the planet. Along with MotoGP, these races involve automobiles worth millions of dollars racing with pinnacles of technology integrated into every piece of the car. So well, you might be thinking, “man, this stuff is so cool” and “surely they have some kind of a system for peeing integrated into the racing suits”. Yeah well, THEY DONT have any such set-up! Instead, F1 drivers pee inside their race suits during the race. Read on...



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Screen-Shot-2019-12-31-at-12.55.01-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-675"/></figure>



So what does an F1 driver do when he’s racing at 230 mph, tolerating 6g cornering forces, wearing a fireproof suit and realizes “shit dude, I gotta freaking pee!” Damn! Well since stopping the car and using the restroom is not really an option if they want to keep their jobs of racing the fastest cars in the world and getting paid millions of dollars (hate your job right now? yeah me too.) They simply pee inside their suits. No fancy-schmancy tubes or systems. Nothing. They pretty much wet themselves.

Not convinced? Don't worry we’ve come with substantial evidence to corroborate our claims. For example, here’s a video of Narain Karthikeyan admitting that many F1 drivers pee inside their cars while racing.



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GySphLZeadY
</div></figure>



We’re not done yet. Five-time world champion, the man himself, Lewis Hamilton too in an interview as reported by The Mirror admitted that drivers are supposed to urinate in their suits. He was quoted as saying, "You're supposed to go in your suit, but I can't do it. I've never done it. But there are drivers that do’” 



It is believed that even if the drivers do wet themselves, the suit becomes dry in almost no time since the temperatures are so hot in the car. For the smell, a little bit of Gatorade or water over the suit and Sherlock himself wouldn’t know what transpired under there.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1017415717-LAT-20190331-_U4I2916-16x9-1.jpg" alt="f1 driver pee" class="wp-image-669"/><figcaption>Via Formula1.com</figcaption></figure>



Here’s the thing, the cockpit of an F1 car is hot. And when I say hot I mean hot enough to scald a lizard. The temperatures can soar to more than 50 degrees Celsius. Add to that, the fact that the driver is suited up in several layers of fireproof clothing and what you get is a lot of perspiration. It’s well known that drivers lose about 5-7 pounds of fluid easily during a race. It is pretty intense out there and the fluid loss, as well as the heat and physical strain, can put drivers under extreme bodily discomfort which can cause severe exhaustion and if it lasts long enough maybe even a loss of consciousness.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/l5Esc4Z-e1577790738985.jpg" alt="F1 driver pee" class="wp-image-709"/></figure>



To make sure that this doesn’t happen, there are steps in place to ensure that all the fluid that the driver loses through perspiration is duly replaced. Even before the race starts, the driver is continuously consuming a hypotonic fluid which you might have witnessed on your television sometimes. They always have a bottle in their hand which they are drinking out of. In the race, The F1 car has a built-in drinks system that pumps fluid into the mouth of the car driver every time he pushes a button known as the drinks button on the steering. There is a tube that runs all the way from the fluid bag through the driver’s helmet and into his mouth. Since they are constantly drinking and replenishing their bodily fluids, there is a small possibility that despite the crazy sweating, this could lead to the production of more urine as well.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/i.jpeg" alt="f1 driver pee" class="wp-image-668"/><figcaption>Via Octane/Action Plus via Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



The drink that drivers consume varies from driver to driver and his physical constitution. However, if you think they’re sipping pina Coladas and racing, well you couldn’t be more wrong. It’s usually a glucose-based drink having high amounts of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes to help restore the electrolyte balance and pump essential nutrients into his body to help the driver function. It is a hypotonic drink since an isotonic solution that is very watery won’t be of much help due to slower absorption. The drink is also not cold owing to the temperatures inside the cockpit, and kind of resembles warm tea in taste.

Before I conclude, there is another reason why drivers end up peeing - it's for their own safety. A filled bladder is a lot like a water-filled balloon. Now imagine throwing the same balloon, with full force, against a wall! A similar result could occur if a driver has a nasty crash at high speed when his bladder is full - internal injuries could be grave. So, the next time you see an F1 driver getting off his car post a race and sprinkling water or other liquids all over his suit (to wade off the smell), you know exactly what went down during the race!

Holi is approaching and it brings joy among family members and loved ones. The colourful festival lights up the living beings and we tend to have a lot of fun around the season. However, sometimes a lot of fun is bad for our materialistic things like our beloved vehicle. So at 91Wheels, we share some of the few preventive measures which you can take care of to protect your car from Holi colour stains. 



Before we go any further and bring you all the latest tips as to how to protect your car from Holi colour stains, make sure you are a member of our <a href="https://t.me/joinchat/VgWABBkUASe-iAiMajaRRg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="exclusive 91Wheels Telegram (opens in a new tab)">exclusive 91Wheels Telegram</a> group where we bring you all the latest information related to the Indian Automotive Industry. 



Park It Underground



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/h.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-31332"/></figure>



That's right! If you have the availability then park your car in a basement so park it there. Or you know a close place which has underground parking then that is your spot. This way you will have to worry less about your car plus it will be saved from the direct sunlight too.

Cover It Properly



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Car.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-31333"/></figure>



If you have not used the car cover for a really long time then now is the time to take it out. Cover your car at least 2-3 days prior after you have done your daily running with the cover. This way your car will be safely protected if the people around are throwing water balloons and playing with colours. 



Use Car Wax



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Car-Wax.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-31334"/></figure>



Car wax is something which you should invest in whether or not Holi season is around. It adds to an additional coating over the exteriors of your car and protects the paint. No matter how chemical-free the colours are, your ride will be protected from it at all times. 



Keep the windows closed



It's summers and we mostly leave the window open by a slight margin so that the interiors don't warm up. However, when it is Holi season, you have to close your windows at all cost to prevent the colours from entering inside. This preventive measure will go a long way in protecting the cabin of your car.

Avoid Taking Your Car Out On Holi



Now, we know Indian festivals are about greeting and sending happy wishes, however, try to limit your contact with people firstly because of COVID-19 and secondly because every time you will go out, you will take the car with you. That means the interiors of your car will be spoiled and so will the exterior if someone throws colour on your car. 



Buy A Good Car Insurance



If by any chance the paint of your car is damaged in the festival season then good car insurance will save you a lot of money and thus make your car just like when it was new.

Here's Top 10 Steps To Protect Your Car From Holi Colour Stains

Just recently Union Roads Transport And Highway Minister, Nitin Gadkari announced that soon India will get rid of toll plazas and now officials at the National Highway Authority of India announced that Delhi-Jaipur Highway will soon become toll-free. 



Before we go any further and bring you all the latest updates related to the Delhi-Jaipur Highway becoming toll-free, make sure you are a member of our <a href="https://t.me/joinchat/VgWABBkUASe-iAiMajaRRg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="exclusive 91Wheels Telegram (opens in a new tab)">exclusive 91Wheels Telegram</a> group where we bring you all the latest updates related to the Indian Automotive Industry. 



In a recent official meeting, there are plans to ditch the toll plazas at the Delhi-Jaipur highway and we feel it may be North India's first highway to follow the lead. The officials are currently preparing an action plan to get rid of toll plazas and enable the GPS transaction method in its first phase.

As of now, this removal of toll plazas is an undergoing plan and there have not been any timeline as to when this plan of action will be taken in course. 



According to a senior NHAI official, the headquarters is currently preparing a detailed project report implementing the same on the Delhi-Jaipur highway and Dwarka Expressway. This is still at an early stage and only when the reports are prepared then we can share the plans. 



The officials have also raised their concern over the massive traffic jam at the Kherki Daula toll plaza. They have also received the GMDAs proposal and that is under consideration not only for its feasibility but to also see how it aligns with what Gadkari Ji has announced regarding making India road toll plazas toll free. If this plan gets into action in a years time then there's no point in relocating the toll.

With the help of the FASTag, the toll collection has one up by Rs 10,000 crore from the previous year and it has also benefitted in facilitating the traffic formed at toll plazas. With the GPS toll collection, there will be smoother operation at toll plazas thus a shorter waiting time leading to a faster road journey.

Delhi-Jaipur Highway The First Toll Plaza In North To Ditch Toll Plazas?

IRVM or Inside Rear View Mirror is the mirror in a car or which is made in such a way that it allows the driver to observe rearward vehicles without much eye strain. The Auto-Dimming Inside Rear View Mirror or an IRVM is available in many luxury high-end cars and is one of the features that every car owner wishes for. Some carmakers go ahead and make it an integral element of the Outside Rearview mirrors or ORVMs.&nbsp;Today, in this article, we will be telling you what is auto-dimming IRVM, its history and its uses.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xuv300-dashboard.jpg" alt="What Is Auto Dimming IRVM" class="wp-image-29351"/></figure>



History of IRVM



Auto-dimming IRVMs are particular types of mirrors that dim when the light falls on the surface of the mirror. These unique mirrors were invented way back in the 1950s but became a part of the automobile industry only somewhere in the 1980s. Today, Gentex is one of the most prominent manufacturers of auto-dimming mirrors in the world.&nbsp;



What is the fantastic feature called auto-dimming IRVM?



An automatic IRVM has a mirror and an attached electronic system or photo sensors tuned to detect light. The significant parts of an auto-dimming IRVM are: 



<ul><li>A control unit is the heart of the IRVM. It receives signals from the sensors. And then it decides on what to do with the glare. There is a conductive layer between the mirror and the glass consisting of three sub-layers – electrochromic, electrolyte, and ion storage.&nbsp;</li><li>An ambient sensor that notifies the control unit to start its functioning when the ambient light is low</li><li>Body of the mirror, and</li><li>The glare sensor to measure the light intensity that falls on the mirror. Once the sensors understand, it notifies the control unit to behave accordingly.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IRVM-1.jpg" alt="What Is Auto Dimming IRVM" class="wp-image-31186"/></figure>



The light could be coming from behind the mirror or from the front. The sensors then automatically dim and darken the mirror or light and brighten it up.&nbsp;When the light falling on the sensor from behind is more than the light coming in from the front, the electronic system dims the mirror.&nbsp;

What is its technology?



The mirror surface is equipped with electrolytes or ions consisting of uniform crystals, just like a mobile phone screen containing an LCD. When the crystals receive a voltage, they get arranged at a particular angle, which in turn determines the amount of light that can get reflected. The voltage determines to the extent the mirror dims out.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Mahindra-xuv300-exterior-5.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-28977"/></figure>



Use of IRVM



Automatic IRVM is a technology that has proven to be a blessing in enhancing safety, especially when driving at night. How? The mirror does not dazzle, as it does in a standard car with an ordinary rearview mirror. Thus, the IRVM helps improve the visibility in the dark minus the glaring lights from behind, and the entire journey becomes safer. The other distinct advantage is the ease that they provide the driver when driving through heavy traffic. It helps in reducing driving fatigue to a great extent. Also, the use of such mirrors has been reported to cause less eye strain.

Vahan Registration Check - Is It Necessary? Guide For Vahan Registration Check

Ceramic Coating and Its Unique Advantages&nbsp;



A ceramic coating is a special type of chemical that can be manually added to the external paint. The ceramic coating helps the car to shield from external colour damage. The car plant paintwork remains unaffected thanks to this chemical bonding and development of a new coat.



Ceramic coating is quite similar to waxing, while many automotive enthusiasts and even retailers claim it is an alternative to the paint protection film. The main purpose of putting ceramic coating is to avoid dust, sludge, and scratch marks from the original paint on the car body. Because of its chemical properties, the ceramic coating does not fail under normal temperatures and pressures.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/mercedes-eqc.jpg" alt="What Is Ceramic Coating Benefits " class="wp-image-15219"/></figure>



Benefits of Ceramic Coating



Ceramic coating is permanent and simple to clean, and you will get a sustainable alternative to painting your car. Check out some of the most prominent reasons to apply a ceramic coating on your car:



1. Safeguard from UV rays - The sun's UV rays do a lot of harm to your car’s painting work. Ceramic coating can protect the car paint from oxidizing and prevents a lacklustre look. If you do parking your car in an open area, this is important.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/30hyundai-creta-2020-gdi-dct-red.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17563"/></figure>



2. Shielding from the chemical reaction - Another possible harm to your vehicle is chemical stains that result from acidic pollutants in an open environment. A coating can avoid the bonding of these contaminants in the paint. Also, the rate of air pollution is only growing in the city, so this type of coating can be an enormous relief.

3. Easy to clean - Cleaning your car becomes a challenge in the case of waxing and other forms of solutions. The ceramic coating not only blends with the paint of your vehicle but also repulses water. This implies that the dust would land on the car surface and slip off eventually. Afterwards, you can apply a fast jet wash and get a glowing vehicle.



4. Polished look - The ceramic coating improves the aesthetics of the car. Ceramic coating, such as the car bra, also adds shine and dimension to your car's paint. This coating gets the best out of the original paint job and makes your car an attractive one.

Is Car Wrap Legal in India?



Wraps allow individuals to change vehicles’ colour quickly, leading to significant problems if vehicles fall into criminals' hands. In India, wrapping a vehicle in different colour vinyl than the colour reported in the RC book is not legal. It will attract fine and even seizure of the vehicle on suspicious grounds if such difference is noted. However, the truth remains that if a vinyl wrap does not change the colour or texture of the vehicle as stated in the company's registration certificate, then there is no point in calling it illegal.

But you're likely to be protected in case a wrap of the same colour. So, the car's original colour must remain the same for those who just want to wrap their cars.



Are Wraps Durable?



The durability of the wrap depends on the rider/driver wrapping the car. Let us be clear about one thing, though, that wraps will not last as long as the paints over time. It also depends on how you hold the car and the nature of the material used. In the extremely dry, cold, or rainy climate in India, this is especially true. Also, the chances of damaging your wrap are very easy if you go for long drives or road trips and tie up any extra baggage to your vehicle.

All You Need To Know About Maruti Insurance Policy

We all want to have an AC in our cars to enjoy the drive no matter what the temperature is outside. The AC can make the inside of your car cool and warm according to your needs. But have you ever heard about automatic climate control in a car? Today, in this article, we tell you what exactly is automatic climate control and is it any different from the regular AC.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cars-AC-1.jpg" alt="What is Automatic Climate Control " class="wp-image-28141"/></figure>



Difference between Air Conditioner and Climate Control



When you have an AC in your car, you need to set the temperature all by yourself. The temperature change will be done by turning the dial or pressing a button on the car's dashboard. Once you manually adjust the temperature, it will remain constant throughout the journey, and even when you start your vehicle again, the temperature setting will stay the same.&nbsp;



On the other hand, with climate control, you as a driver don't have to worry about manually changing your car's inside temperature because it will be automatically controlled. The software present in the climate control will check the outside's temperature and, according to your liking, will make adjustments. You can still tweak the temperature when you have automatic climate control in your car.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Mahindra-XUV300-dual-zone-ac.jpg" alt="What is Automatic Climate Control " class="wp-image-28060"/></figure>



How does Climate Control Work?



You know all the latest cars have it, and salespeople love to brag about it in the showroom, but how much of a difference does climate control make? First, you need to know that climate control can have separate zones in a single cabin. As a result, individuals can set their zone's temperature accordingly without changing other zones' temperature.&nbsp;

Several sensors capture the temperature in and around the car. After the sensors get the required data, they transfer it to the system, where the algorithm will work out on how much cold and hot air needs to be pumped in the car's cabin. Some other parameters make it possible for the climate control algorithm to adjust the fan speed and the spin direction. That's how climate control works on autopilot, and drivers can concentrate on the road while others can enjoy the ride.

Conclusion&nbsp;



If you already have automatic climate control in your car, then it's all good, and you can enjoy it as much as you can. On the other hand, if you have a basic air conditioner in your car then you don't need to change it, there's not a much significant difference between these two, both work on the same principle and provide the same service which is keeping the car's cabin cool and warm. So you don't need to get it in your vehicle from a third party. So now you know all the advantages of climate control over normal air conditioners.&nbsp;Does your car have it?

Which One is Better: Remaps Or Diesel Tuning Box for Diesel Engine Performance?



These days, people have found a new ignition to their love of diesel engine performance, but as things are, diesel engines won’t give you the kick that you would want to feel from your car. Diesel engines provide you with better torque and fuel efficiency, but people who want to get more from their diesel engines go for some upgrades, and those upgrades are called remaps and diesel tuning boxes. Sure, you might have something else that can boost the performance, but when it comes to reaching the optimal performance, these two methods are the best. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/thar-bimbra-4x4-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28816"/></figure>



Remaps



Well, the easiest way to get your diesel engine performance to punch above its weight is to remap the engine control unit. For this, you need to take your car to a professional tuner and let them connect a laptop with your car’s ECU and load it with the latest software and tweak some key parameters. A widespread tuning change is the injection of more fuel for a given RPM. As a result, your engine will take less time to produce more power. There are two things, which the diesel engine performance needs - more air and more fuel, as they are based on compression engines. The remaps make sure that the diesel engine present in your car gets more fuel. The one issue with the remapping is that the engine will start chugging more fuel at higher RPMs, leading to decreased fuel efficiency. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/engine.jpg.ximg_.l_12_m.smart_.jpg" alt="Remaps or Diesel Tuning Box " class="wp-image-7782"/></figure>



<h5>Also Read: <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/aprilia-sxr-160-launched-in-nepal-price/">Aprilia SXR 160 Launched in Nepal - India vs Nepal Price Comparison </a></h5>



Furthermore, if the ECU remaps are done on your engine, it will stay like that; so, in case you need to change it, you have to get back to the tuner who did the remap in the first place. On the other hand, if your car is under warranty, this process will void it, as the changes will show up when the service station mechanic will plug in the computer to find out about the car's diagnostics. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Mahindra-XUV-500-BS6-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19224"/></figure>



Diesel Tuning Box 



The other word of putting a diesel tuning box is chipping, this solution is more powerful than the previous one, and in terms of flexibility, it has no match. What this tuning box does is connect with the ECU of your car along with the fuel injectors. It works by fooling the ECU to think that the engine requires more fuel. As a result, more fuel will go to the engine, and more power will be generated at the same RPM. You can quickly install the diesel tuning box in your car without even disrupting the wiring of your vehicle. It’s almost like a plug and play mechanism. When you don't need it, you can take it off, and your vehicle will start working at stock settings. Thus, If you have double thoughts about buying a tuning box for your diesel engine car to give it a new spark, then think no more and buy it because the tuning boxes do work.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/mod-fortuner-3.2.jpg" alt="Remaps or Diesel Tuning Box " class="wp-image-10699"/></figure>

Remaps or Diesel Tuning Box - Which One is Good for Diesel Engine Performance?

We all want our vehicles to be in perfect working condition, just the way we love our bodies to be hale and hearty. Thus, as we opt for plenty of diets, medicines, and cosmetic surgeries to stay fit and fine, a vehicle's engine also requires proper care, preventive maintenance, and some procedures to ensure its good health and maximum performance. One of such ways that claim the maximum performance of your vehicle is engine decarbonisation. So, today in this article, we will tell you what is engine decarbonisation and is it essential for your car? 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/mechanic-filling-oil-in-engine.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-12991"/></figure>



What is Engine Decarbonisation?



In this process, an experienced mechanic mechanically removes the excessive carbon deposits on the cylinder head, and then physically scraps out the carbon deposits from the combustion chamber and piston valves. There are two types of engine decarbonisation - mechanical and chemical:



Mechanical: In this process, a well-trained mechanic first opens the engine, and then physically scraps off the cylinder heads and block the piston. Mechanical decarbonisation is highly successful when done by a competent mechanic. But it can be terrible for the engine if done by an incompetent person.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/kwid-engine.png" alt="What is Engine Decarbonisation" class="wp-image-11224"/></figure>



Chemical: In this method, an expert adds alcohols and terpenes to the conventional fuel supply, which breaks down the carbon deposits. Then this chemical compound and the exhaust gases are flushed out. This process results in dissolving the excessive carbon content from the fuel injectors, pistons, crown rings, and other parts of the engine.

Cause of carbon deposits in engines:



When an engine of the bike or automobile burns its fuel, it releases by-products of carbon, fumes and smoke in huge amounts. This waste is built-up on the tube of the engine restricting the airflow and causing various other problems.



Problems caused by carbon deposits in engines:



<ul><li>  The engine stops running smoothly.</li><li>The machinability of the vehicle is reduced.</li><li>The bike or automobile starts vibrating robustly and leaping repeatedly.</li><li>The vehicles start jerking and shaking off the engine is instigated.</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screen-Shot-2020-07-10-at-8.05.38-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-15788"/></figure>



Benefits of engine decarbonisation:



<ul><li>It cleans out the engine thoroughly.</li><li>It decarbonises all the integral components of the engine from the inside out.</li><li>It enhances an engine’s performance.</li><li>It reduces the engine’s vibration and noise.</li><li>It restores the engine’s fuel efficiency.</li></ul>



Why is engine decarbonisation essential?



<ul><li>Decarbonisation is essential for the maintenance of any vehicles that run on engines.</li><li>Decarbonisation is needed to ensure an engine’s optimal functioning and effective working condition.</li><li>Decarbonisation also ensures the safe and smooth running of vehicles.</li><li>Decarbonisation improves the engine’s effectiveness and keeps the vehicle in an overall good condition.</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Magnite-CVT-Mileage-Test-2.jpg" alt="What is Engine Decarbonisation" class="wp-image-26721"/></figure>

Preventive maintenance and periodic care are ideal for a car, bike, and other vehicles. It keeps its engine healthy and runs smoothly for years. Hence, engine decarbonisation can be a smart move to reduce the excessive carbon content deposited on the cylinder head of automobiles and bikes. Excessive carbon deposits reduce the effectiveness of the machinery. Therefore, for the proper maintenance and optimal functioning of the engine, every bike or car owner must go for engine decarbonisation.

3 M Paint Protection Film For A Glossy Showroom-like Finish

IRVM or Inside Rear View Mirror is the mirror in a car or any other automobile, which is made in a way that allows the driver to observe rearward vehicles without much eye strain. As is commonly known, the rearview mirror is one of your car's most critical parts, even if it is a small part. While almost a century ago, the use of rearview mirrors was not as common as today, the essence of these mirrors was felt mostly in safety-enabled driving. Most governments today make this a mandatory feature of all automobiles and cars on the road. Today, in this article, we tell you what is day and night IRVM. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/creta-2020-3.jpg" alt="What is Day and Night IRVM" class="wp-image-28542"/></figure>



The Day and Night IRVM with an anti-glare feature is a must-have feature for most cars today. The concept is - when the light from the headlight of a vehicle behind falls on such a rearview mirror, the mirror can be adjusted to finish the glare. Some mirrors come with an integrated mechanism to control the reflection of the light, and in some cases, it is a manual system. The objective is to reduce glare.



What is the Use of the Day and Night IRVM?



At night, the mirrors help in warding off the glare off the headlights from the car behind. In the day, the rearview mirror works just like any standard ordinary rearview mirror, aptly showing the traffic behind.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xuv300-dashboard.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-29351"/></figure>



The day and night IRVM has two surfaces - front and back. The front cover is like a straight glass, while the back surface has a reflective material coating. So, while the front acts like glass, the light gets reflected from the back cover. The standard rearview mirror has both the front and the back parallel to one another. However, in a day and night IRVM, the front and the back are not parallel. The bright reflections during the day can be viewed from the back surface, and a fainter reflection can be viewed from the front during the night.

Understanding the Technology



The manually-operated day and night IRVM is simply flipped using a lever. In this case, the mirror is a prismatic mirror with a wedge-shaped mirror on the inside. During the day, the objects behind are reflected from the surface of the mirror. At night, the plain mirror tends to bounce off the light coming in from the headlights of the car behind. It can distract the driver and cause a lot of strain on the eyes. Such a glare also becomes the reason for many accidents on the road amidst traffic.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Maruti-Baleno-5.jpg" alt="What is Day and Night IRVM" class="wp-image-18896"/></figure>



The day and night auto-dimming mirrors or IRVM use sensor technology to dim the lights. These mirrors contain two glass pieces that are coated with electrically-conductive materials. These are filled with electrochromic gel or ions that tend to go dark on receiving voltage. These mirrors have two sensors - ambient and glare. The ambient sensor senses the intensity of the light and informs the control unit to dim the mirror. The glare sensor senses the amount of light hitting the mirror. The case of glaring light tells the control unit to activate the ions and darken the mirror. Once the glare is finished, the mirror is back to normal again.

What is Day and Night IRVM - All You Need To Know About It

Some premium features can elevate a car's value. One of these features is Cornering headlights. So, today in this article, we will tell you what are cornering headlights and everything else that you need to know about them. Now, the cornering lamps are small lights that are placed with fog lights or headlights. When the car is steered in a particular direction, they automatically signal the other drivers that the car is moving in that direction. They also light up when the car travels at a low speed and when the driver is reversing the car.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Laser-headlights.jpg" alt="What Are Cornering Headlights" class="wp-image-27830"/></figure>



Versions of Cornering Headlights:



Dynamic Cornering Light: These were the first cornering lights to hit the market. They were situated in the headlights and pivoted with the steering. These lights effectively doubled the light spread of the headlights.



Adaptive Frontline Systems: The AFS took the concept a step further when we first saw them in 2006. Dynamic Cornering Lights only took steering angle into consideration. These systems use steering angle as well as vehicle speed to illuminate the areas where light is scarce. They point the cornering headlights in areas where the driver intends to go. These systems provide the optimum light distribution when the vehicle is in a vulnerable position. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ignis-ownership-headlights.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26050"/></figure>



Adaptive Cut-Off: These lights use many parameters to illuminate the road. They factor in data such as the positions of other vehicles on the road, oncoming traffic, steering angle, and vehicle speed to turn the headlights in the right direction. The whole process is completed in the blink of an eye. 



Benefits of Cornering Headlights



These lights are a nifty feature. They can reduce infractions and accidents by complimenting the indicators of the car. They provide utility as well as give a premium touch to the car. In premium cars, cornering headlights are a given these days. The light spread is scarce when the car is in vulnerable positions, like reversing or turning. The spread can be increased with the help of cornering lights. The blind spots are made visible.

Looking to personalise the appearance of your car? You can do it easily by paying a little amount for car wrapping. Initially, car wrap examples were used for promotional purposes only, but in the present scenario, a proud car owner chooses it for various reasons. So, today in this article, we will tell you the Car Wrap Price in India and also the top four car wrap examples to personalise your much-loved car.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/106481945_152494159705817_166276526038341397_n-2.jpg" alt="Tata Harrier wrapped" class="wp-image-15880"/></figure>



<h3>What is the car wrap price in India?</h3>



Since car wrapping is a vinyl covering applied to the car's paintwork, car wrapping cost varies depending on the material used and the vehicle and coverage area's size. On average, car wrap costs somewhere INR 10,000 to 1,00,000 for the right quality products.



<h3>What are some examples of car wrapping?</h3>



Here are some common types of car wrap examples:



Glossy Wrap - A glossy car wrap is the most preferred choice of wraps for vehicle owners as these wraps resemble the original paintwork. It comes in a wide range of colours and metallic flakes. Its finish is exclusively smoother, which transforms the entire look of your pre-owned car. So, if you wish to give your old car a new makeover with a stylish appearance, the glossy wrap is the ultimate choice for you.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Modified-Kia-Seltos-3.jpg" alt="Which Modifications Are Illegal For Your Car" class="wp-image-17910"/></figure>



Matte Wrap - The matte wrap looks opposite to the glossy wrap. As evident from the name, it gives a classic look and matte finish to your car. Since it is matte, the light will not be reflected on your car's surface. With a matte wrap, you can create several designs and textures, giving your car a distinct look to stand out in the crowd. People with a distinct taste and unique style love to opt for matte car wraps.

Satin Wrap - As compared to matte car wrap, the glossiness is higher with satin wrap. It means, you can't see a perfect light reflection on the wrapped surface but a significant amount of light will still reflect on the satin car wrap. So, if you are looking for something between a matte and glossy wrap, a satin wrap can be the best choice for you. This kind of wrapping offers a very professional look and sleek design to your car, which makes it a perfect pick for mobile advertisements.

Brushed Wrap - A brushed car wrap can be segmented into two different variants - brushed material car wrap and brushed texture car wrap. No matter which option you prefer to wrap your car, both will give your vehicle a unique look. Also, both of these options can be easily installed. However, brushed texture car wrap looks more authentic than a brushed material car wrap.

<h3>Which Modifications Are Illegal For Your Car?</h3>



You want your modified car to stand out in the ocean of normal cars that can be seen on the Indian roads every day. However, Indian laws are very restrictive when it comes to car modifications. Anyone who wants to modify his/her car should know which car modifications are legal and which aren't.&nbsp;So, today in this article, we tell you which modifications are illegal for your car?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Modified-Mahindra-Thar-2.jpg" alt="Which Modifications Are Illegal For Your Car" class="wp-image-8797"/></figure>



<h3>The Current Status of Modified Cars in India</h3>



In January of 2019, the supreme court delivered a judgment that no motor vehicle in the nation can be altered or modified to make the car's information different from the information submitted to the transport authorities.&nbsp;Long story short, you cannot modify the 'structural features' of your car. Changes to the engine or chassis of your car are illegal. Now, we all have an imagination and a personality that we want to project onto our car, but letting your imagination run wild can land you in legal trouble.&nbsp;

<h3>Illegal car modifications:</h3>



<ul><li>The volume of the horn: This one is common sense. Noise pollution should be not only illegal but also against common decency. The horns on your car should not cross the 100 decibels limit.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Modifying the tyres: Bigger tyres look great, but they also cause your car's width to increase. This makes them illegal.&nbsp;</li><li>Alloys: Alloys look great on a car, but if an alloy is sticking out and increasing the width of your vehicle, then it's illegal. Know this, as long as your car alloys don't increase the width of your car. They are legal. The design or any other factor doesn't matter in determining if they are legal or not.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/thar-bimbra-4x4-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28816"/></figure>



<ul><li>Modifying your engine: Getting more horsepower and better fuel efficiency sounds great, but if you're violating the engine specifications laid down by the manufacturers, then it's illegal to modify your engine.&nbsp;</li><li>Bullbars: A bullbar is a metal grill installed on the front of the vehicle's back to protect it from damage. These are illegal in India as they harm both the occupant's safety and the person/vehicle which the car will hit.&nbsp;</li><li>Loud exhaust systems: Your car's exhaust system is supposed to do two things- Number one, to regulate the amount of emissions emitted out, and number two, to control the sound levels generated. Many car enthusiasts prefer customized exhaust systems that you install as they generate great sounds at higher noise levels. Such systems are illegal now.&nbsp;</li><li>Tinting your windows: Easily the most common law that people violate in India. As per the latest judgement, you cannot tint your car window in India. It's now prohibited to use any Visual Light Transmission (VLT) film on the front and rear of the vehicle as well as the side. However, tinted windows straight from the manufacturer are allowed under certain conditions.</li></ul>

Conclusion&nbsp;



The January 2019 ruling will only affect illegal car modification shops or customers who modify their vehicles in a way that endangers the safety of others around them. Genuine enthusiasts will not be affected. Have you ever modified your car? Do feel free to share your opinions with all of us in the comments section below.

Best Small Cars For Hills - Maruti Alto 800 To Honda Amaze

Car Damping is a cost-effective way of eliminating noise inside a car cabin. It enhances the quality of the car’s speakers and creates a quiet environment inside the car so that you can enjoy the music better. Investing some money in this upgrade is better than investing tens of thousands on an expensive speaker system. The most common locations for installing this upgrade are the door and the floors. 



How Does it Work? A base layer of elastomeric butyl is used on the floor and the doors. The layer is added to the metal surfaces. The layer adds mass and makes it difficult for sound to travel through it. This layer made of rubber absorbs a considerable amount of noise.



<h6>Also Read: <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/bajaj-platina-110-abs-launched-price/">India's Safest 110cc Bike; Bajaj Platina 110 ABS Launched - Details</a></h6>



Otherwise, this noise would have made its way to the inside of the cabin. Sound Damping can reduce noise inside the cabin by more than 6 Decibels. Adding the layer to the trunk, the firewall, and the roof can increase this figure.



What are its benefits?



Focused driving Road noises can be too loud at times. At signals, multiple cars start honking like there is no tomorrow. All this can distract a driver from focusing on the road. This procedure eliminates road noises so that the driver can concentrate on the road. 



Well Insulated Cabin With outside noises eliminated, people inside the car can talk easily. The car’s rattlings can create noise vibrations that can make it hard for people to talk inside the car. Car Damping creates a peaceful environment. 



Call Quality The quality of calling on the Bluetooth system will increase as well. Since much of the noise inside the cabin is eliminated, your voice will sound clearer when you talk to someone.

Premium feel What is the point of traveling in a car if you can hear significant outside noises? You might as well travel on a bike. Eliminating outside noises gives a premium feel to the people traveling in the car. It is a much more enjoyable experience. 



Prevents rattling As a car gets old, lots of parts start rattling in the car. The engine noise gets irritating. This process can prevent the constant rattling that is common in old cars. You should not think twice about going for this if you have a car that rattles a lot. 



Is it Necessary?



The car speakers, especially the bass speakers at the back, cause strong vibrations. After this procedure is done, the rattling of the bass speakers decreases significantly. Car speakers sound way better after the outside noises, and car vibrations are removed. 



You will be able to hear the lows and the highs more clearly. Not only that, the nuances of the music can be easily heard after this upgrade. Even average speakers will start feeling premium. Outweigh the costs with the benefits and take your decision. 



Conclusion There are significant advantages to Car Damping. The benefits outweigh the costs. Sound Damping should be seen as an investment rather than an expense.

The winters can be a rough time for car batteries. Extreme weather conditions can put pressure on your vehicle’s runtime while making your car work that much harder. Keeping your car away from harsh weather is a good start, as that should keep your battery in a stable condition temperature-wise that is in winters.



You should have a regular maintenance pattern embedded in your car care program so that you can systematically take care of your car battery. Batteries come with their own set of rules, that all car owners must follow regularly. Otherwise, a faulty battery may decide to shut down at the worst time.&nbsp;



Expiration date and age of vehicle



It may be important to consider both the age of the car and the battery. You can always find an Amaron car battery online and replace an existing one if needed. Delaying in these matters is a wrong move, as expired batteries tend to require more power as they age. This means that expired batteries have to work harder to get the same output.

Older vehicles need a battery change done more often. Ideally, this should be taken care of before winter begins, as replacing a dead battery can be difficult if its too cold outside. Older vehicles also have older parts that need more battery power to run at normal efficiency. Batteries are therefore burned out from both ends of the equation.&nbsp;



Keeping your battery charged



Don’t leave your car running for longer times and try to take it outside multiple times a day. This is done to prevent any rusting and to avoid any problems rising from exhausted batteries. Keeping your battery charged is key, especially if you have a long drive ahead of you.&nbsp;



If you are driving along cold roads, then you should keep the load on your battery at a minimum. Switching off anything that’s not needed, inside the car, is a good way to go about it. Incase you need to replace your battery, then speaking to the right company is essential. You always want to get the best quality battery from companies like Car Fit Experts, who understand how to best run a vehicle in the winters.

Maintenance and inspection



It’s important to get your car cleaned out and maintained every few weeks. A car battery has its own set of maintenance requirements that must be followed accordingly. You should also make sure that your car’s heating is well-maintained, and all accessories are working properly. There shouldn’t by any additional load on the battery because of a faulty attachment. Interior car detailing should also be a regular component of your maintenance schedule.

Kia India Cars - A Little Backstory Of The South Korean Carmaker

What is a Dead Pedal?



A dead pedal is a single layer on the left side of all different pedals in the car's passenger floorboard area. Permanently attached in a place, the dead pedals are sometimes at around the same magnitude as accelerator pedals; sometimes significantly bigger. A dead pedal can be a material backplate or a hard plastic element or incorporated into the ground's shapes. Now, occasionally they fit the glance of the accelerator, the brake, and the clutch pedals. Regularly alluded to as 'footrests', the primary function is provided as a supporting footstool. The left ankle of the driver does not hang at an unpleasant edge. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Dead-Pedal-1.jpg" alt="What is Dead Pedal " class="wp-image-30674"/></figure>



Why is it Necessary in Today's Cars?



It makes the driver feel more at ease - Added support for dead pedals should not be overlooked. The pressure will decrease on the leg and knee’s musculoskeletal system and back by supplying an adjustable resting place for the foot precisely where it is required. On hectic journeys or daily journeys, this tends to increase the driver's comfort level. If you have problems with your back or knee, a dead pedal can make a significant difference.



It can stop Clutch wear - Also, because the dead pedal offers a rational neighbourhood for the foot to relax, the unintentional use of the pedal side of the foot support's clutch for the foot support is eradicated. The level of stress on the clutch pedal tends to cause the clutch to pull temporarily absent from the engine motor, triggering slippage and a high level of costly wear.

It can help stop accidents - What if you're in a place where tough braking was done to prevent an accident? If that is the case, you can easily control the vehicle and avoid losing consciousness. A dead pedal facilitates a convenient place to instinctively hold the left foot against it because that power can be retained. As both feet can stand strongly toward particles of regular composition and angle, you can apply the most power to the brake pedal, and, at the same time, maintain yourself extra squarely in the driving seat, which would be optimal in the occasion of an effect.



Types of Dead Pedals



Footrests - The most popular and freely accessible, these dead pedals take the form of footrests on the car's floor. They come in various varieties:



<ul><li>Some may be metal plates.</li><li>Some are hard plastic pads.</li><li>Some are merely a crisis response to the car's floor.</li></ul>

Dummy Pedals - These are falsified pedals that offer a purpose and are a portion of the vehicle's pedal system. These can be discovered in a couple of race cars.

The dead pedal helps promote safety on the road by serving as a position for car owners to place their feet and help stop unintentional left-foot braking. The dead pedal can be replaced easily for washing as well.

You can get the same treatment from aftermarket or car detailing shops, but people usually prefer getting it done from the dealer itself. This coating is done on the above as well as the under-body of the car. Teflon is a form of synthetic fluoropolymer that has a non-sticky nature, and it reduces friction that prevents scratching. Most of the car dealers in India can provide you with the Teflon coating.



How is Teflon coating done on a car by car dealers?



There is a complete process through which the car undergoes to get the Teflon coating done. 



The surface that has to be coated is cleaned and washed properly. The body is then wiped properly and dried. Post this. The coating lubricant is applied to the car surface. Once the coating dries on the surface, the car buffing process takes place after that. It will take around 25-35 minutes to complete the buffing process. If the dealer does it correctly, the minor scratches will completely finish from the surface.



Pros of Teflon coating

If your car sustained minor scratches, they would be removed, and post coating, your car will sustain minimal to no scratches. 



The Teflon layer acts as an anti-rusting layer on the car that prevents it from the same. 



It also helps improve your car's paint life, but to get that, you need to get it coated regularly.



Cons of Teflon coating



If you get this done from the aftermarket, you need to be on your toes and around your car because what they do is machine polishing and simple waxing. 



If the person chooses any inferior brand, it would leave marks on your paint and won't be able to resist scratches.



One thing that we all hate is our cars getting scratched but as harsh as it may sound, getting a scratch is inevitable. So, to protect the cars from scratches, people usually get the Teflon coating to protect it. If you wish to get one from the dealer, you can get that, but you need to inform them about the same beforehand.

How The Cruise Control Of The New Tata Nexon Works - Explained

Popularly known as GQ, the Golden Quadrilateral is the result of a dream project that connects four major cities of India. Namely, Delhi in the North, Kolkata on the West, Chennai towards the South, and Mumbai covering the West. 



The Beginning



The Golden Quadrilateral was planned in 1999, started in 2001, and finally completed in 2012. Measuring 5,846 kilometres in length, it is the largest highway in Indian and the fifth largest one in the world. The highway consists of four-lane and six-lane expressways, and the total estimated cost of construction was around USD 8.4 billion. 



Who Built It?



The construction of the Golden Quadrilateral was the first phase of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) and was managed by the National Highways Authority of India (N.H.A.I). Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister then, under whose leadership this dream project was launched and started moving closer to completion. 



Sections of GQ or The Golden Quadrilateral



There are four sections in the Golden Quadrilateral, forming a straight-line route connecting two metropolitan cities each.

<h3>What is the Purpose of the ARAI Mileage Test?</h3>



When an Indian family or an individual decides to buy a car, they check the mileage the car will give. Mileage means the amount of fuel consumption that will happen for a certain distance. The Government of India has an automotive testing body called the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). This body conducts tests on all vehicles sold in India for emissions through an Indian Driving Cycle (IDC). The IDC uses a formula to calculate the fuel efficiency of the car. ARAI mileage test is conducted in a controlled environment, and therefore, gives excellent results for mileage.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sonet_Tracking-47.jpg" alt="What is ARAI Mileage" class="wp-image-20921"/></figure>



<h3>Is the ARAI Mileage Test for Fuel Efficiency?</h3>



The car manufacturing companies love to advertise these figures to attract people who are looking for a vehicle that runs the longest for less fuel consumption. The IDC test done for all vehicles is to test for emissions to ensure that they meet India's emissions standards and not for mileage. In the process of the test, you get the numbers for mileage too. The release of these efficiency numbers is just for the car manufacturers' marketing or advertising gimmicks to attract more customers. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/thar-bimbra-4x4-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28817"/></figure>

How is the Test Conducted?



<ul><li>The test is conducted under a laboratory-like condition where the average speed is 30 kmph. The test is conducted for 19 minutes or less for a distance of 10 km. The test is performed on a dynamometer on a simulation of highway and city roads. The speed doesn't exceed beyond 90 kmph, with speed variation happening gradually.</li><li>This doesn't include a waiting period at traffic lights, car stopping and starting, weather, or road condition. As you know, driving at sea level is different from driving on mountainous terrain.</li><li>The air-conditioner is switched off when this test is conducted, which is not possible in the cities of India. The ARAI certificate for mileage doesn't include a vital factor used while driving in the live scenarios.</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/131-hyundai-verna-2020.jpg" alt="What is ARAI Mileage" class="wp-image-13893"/></figure>



<ul><li>The test is conducted with the dynamometer attached to the chassis and not on an actual road. Although in this laboratory-like condition, simulation for highways and city roads includes a very limiting factor. Road conditions are never the same at all times in real life. The mileage we read is measured when the car is stationary, but the tires are moving.</li><li>Another essential factor that the test doesn't consider is the driver's driving style, as we all know that everyone drives a vehicle in their unique way. In the test, the computer monitors all the essential parts of the cars without using the steering wheel.</li><li>This test is conducted on new cars only. This means that as the cars get some kilometres in, the mileage will get affected. A new vehicle will always give you better mileage than a used vehicle.</li></ul>

With these points, we can't say that the ARAI mileage test is not useful at all. It is just one of the factors to keep in mind while checking new vehicles. As the test is done for an entirely different purpose than what information you get to see, hence, you must act smartly while buying a car that promises excellent numbers, which may be jacked up to make the sale attractive for the company. It is important to consider all the factors, and with a test drive done a couple of times to ensure you are buying the best possible vehicle as per your needs.
