Bendix Brakes for Teen Safety Campaign Shifts into Second Gear with Winter Driving Tips

To help educate motorists of all ages on safe driving and proper maintenance this season, Honeywell Friction Materials kicked off phase two of its engaging Bendix Brakes for Teen Safety campaign.

To help educate motorists of all ages on safe driving and proper maintenance this season, Honeywell Friction Materials kicked off phase two of its engaging Bendix Brakes for Teen Safety campaign.
 


Last October, two videos marked the launch of the campaign – the first took a lighthearted look at how little teens really know about car care basics and the second included car care tips every driver should know. Using clever stand-up comedy and familiar faces from the first two videos, the latest video shines the spotlight on winter driving tips – reminding drivers that poorly maintained vehicles can be even more hazardous when coupled with inclement weather conditions.
 


A survey commissioned by Honeywell Friction Materials – maker of Bendix Brakes – found that 36 percent of teens drive 250 miles or more per month, and they usually aren’t driving alone – nearly two-thirds of teen drivers are transporting others. This is why continuous education on safe driving and proper vehicle maintenance is important to keep everyone safe on the road. The online survey was conducted in August by Harris Interactive among 500 parents of teen drivers age 15 to 19 who have their own car.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Water Pump Replacement

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

Long-Life Coolants Explained

Different types of coolants cover a range of applications from diesel to domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Each one is formulated to a specific manufacturer’s specifications to keep their engines at an optimal temperature. But, changes to the old one-size-fits-all formula has led to confusion for consumers and even some technicians.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
