Goodyear, Tire With Air Maintenance Technology (ATM)

New breakthrough technology results Tires Air Maintenance Technology (ATM) Development and will automatically measure the air pressure in it. That results from the development of Goodyear Tire one of the leading brands.
Goodyear has been showcased in full in the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in the past.

Goodyear ATM is the result of development in the laboratory for 2 years. At the Geneva Motor Show Exhibition visitors can see how the tire was fixed at the optimal pressure without having to check the tire pressure with an external device. Maintained tire pressure will affect the reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions further, because the optimal tires make the car move will also be optimal. Unlike Wind tire shortage that resulted in engine performance becomes more severe so wasteful and more polluting fuels

AMT development based on research at Goodyear Dunlop Europe that consumers did not care about their tire pressure. Half of those surveyed did not know when to check air pressure in their tires, and one of three riders said he did not think to check their tire pressure, even before embarking on long trips. AMT technology will help motorists to ensure and maintain optimum tire pressure. The result is claimed to save fuel, 2.5 percent - 3.3 percent. Furthermore, AMT claimed to save 57 liters of fuel per year for vehicle users who travel frequently enough.

Membersihkan Velg Mobil

JAKARTA - Velg mobil berdesain jari-jari cukup indah dilihat dan cenderung tidak membosankan. Namun, sangat sulit saat membersihkannya lantaran mempunyai celah yang sulit dijangkau dengan jari tangan. Enggak usah pusing, ikuti langkah-langkah melenyapkan kotoran velg itu di bawah ini.

1. Jangan mencuci velg saat mobil baru digunakan. Sebab, velg yang masih panas akan menimbulkan jamur jika langsung disiram air. Sebaiknya tunggu sampai dingin.
2. Pastikan ruang dalam fender bersih (dibersihkan dulu) agar kotorannya tidak jatuh dan menempel ke velg.
3. Setelah itu, baru giliran velg. Setelah disiram, gunakan sampo atau cairan khusus. Untuk yang berwana krom, pakai cairan khusus krom untuk menghindari risiko lapisan mengelupas.
4. Untuk sudut yang sulit dijangkau, gunakan kuas atau sikat gigi. Jika masih terdapat noda membandel, maka sebaiknya bahasi dulu velg dan diamkan beberapa saat, baru kemudian dibersihkan.
5. Jika terdapat "emas hitam" (aspal), maka noda ini biasanya tidak mempan jika dihilangkan hanya dengan sampo. Untuk itu, bisa pakai bensin atau minyak tanah. Selanjutnya, bersihkan velg dengan bantuan kompon agar bensin tidak meninggalkan noda.
6. Yakin sudah bersih? Keringkan velg dengan lap chamois.
Khusus untuk velg krom, jika ingin benda ini kinclong, maka ditaburilah bedak, kemudian digosok dengan lap bersih. Anda juga bisa menggunakan wax khusus warna krom.
