In addition, those components which must cause noise, such as ‘he engine and transmission have been built with extreme precision to reduce noise causing vibrations and then the entire drivetrain has been mounted in a straight line on energy absorbing mounts to further reduce the transfer of vibrations. Soundâ€"deadening inâ€" sulation is also employed in the firewall which isolates engine noise from the passenger cabin and gives LS 400 a quiet reputaâ€" tion Lexus LS 400; The Sense Of Safety to where it is needed and then exhausted with a minimum of Virtually all air passing over or under or around the LS 400 is managed. In addition, air passing into the car for engine and brake cooling is channelled efficiently nolse Finally, for noises which cannot be totally eliminated, the next step is to apply sound absorbing materials. For instance, road surâ€" face nouse caused by such things as irregular pavement have been muffled or overcome with addiâ€" tional strategic use of specially developed sound deadening maâ€" terials in the floor and trunk However, air management over the top and visible surfaces of the LS 400 wasn‘t considered to be enough. Even the air passing under the car has been managed for efficiency and the quietest possible ride. Anything that might impede the smoothest of urflow under the flagship Lexus has been faired in, this means a smooth wind deflector shrouds the engine and exhaust system as well as front wheels and rear suspension arms. In fact, the rear suspension members are made of Lexus Engineers note that the death rate in accidents rises for drivers These figures are significant to iutomakers, according to panel ists at a recent SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) convenâ€" tion. The group pointed out that a number of problems, such as poor night vision can cause seniors‘ driving ability to decline. valâ€"shaped â€" tubing . to permit smoother air flow.

When slipâ€" pery conditions are encountered, the TRAC control, which uses A.B.S. wheel sensors to detect loss of traction, will then reduce The panel concluded that engiâ€" neers must consider older drivers when designing future cars, and use technology to help overcome problems. Suggested innovations include: wider availability of rearview mirrors that automatiâ€" cally adjust to reduce glare; onâ€" board sensors that sound an alarm when the car comes too close to obstacles; headâ€"up display systems that project dashboard displays onto the windshield; and over 65, and leaps dramatically for those over 80.
