How does the use of adaptive dampers in a vehicle's suspension system primarily enhance driving performance?
How does the use of adaptive dampers in a vehicle's suspension system primarily enhance driving performance?
- By maintaining a constant, pre-set damping force regardless of road conditions.
- By automatically adjusting damping force based on road conditions and driving style. (correct)
- By entirely eliminating the need for traditional coil springs.
- By increasing the vehicle's ground clearance for off-road driving.
Which of the following is the MOST significant advantage of using disc brakes over drum brakes in automotive applications?
Which of the following is the MOST significant advantage of using disc brakes over drum brakes in automotive applications?
- Lower manufacturing costs due to simpler design.
- Extended lifespan of brake pads due to less friction.

In an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, what is a primary benefit over traditional hydraulic power steering systems regarding fuel efficiency?
In an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, what is a primary benefit over traditional hydraulic power steering systems regarding fuel efficiency?
- EPS systems use a continuously running hydraulic pump, which consumes more energy.
- EPS systems provide constant maximum power assist, regardless of driving conditions.
- EPS systems require a larger engine to generate the necessary hydraulic pressure.
- EPS systems offer variable assist, reducing energy consumption when less steering force is needed. (correct)
