Systèmes de sécurite et de confort automobile

The Auto-didact collection presents methods and techniques for discovering or learning more about new technologies. The manuals allow professionals to update their knowledge, and students or car enthusiasts to train and test their mechanical skills using the questionnaires in each chapter.
Volume 5 of the collection presents safety and comfort systems.

The different themes below are presented and accompanied by clear and precise diagrams:
- Vehicle details (directional headlights, dynamic lighting, adaptive lighting, etc.)
- Active safety (adaptive cruise control, assisted parking system, etc.)
- Comfort systems (keyless access and starting, electric tailgate, auxiliary heating, etc.)
- Passive safety (programmed reinforcements and deformations, occupant protection, etc.)
- Airbags (single and double triggers, impact sensor, pretensioners).

The main faults of each system are also covered (symptoms, descriptions, solutions).
