Spurred by improvements in microprocessor speed, miniaturization, and software development, the automobile continues to evolve. In addition to telematics-based services like OnStar, digital satellite radio and in-car e-mail, recent advances in braking technology have led to shorter stopping distances and increased control while driving in inclement conditions.
Traction control is yet another safety development that has reached the automobile during this period. A popular feature on many vehicles, traction control offers drivers the benefit of space-age electronics that improve a car's contact with the road.
Traction control deals specifically with lateral (front-to-back) loss of friction during acceleration. In other words, when your car accelerates from a dead stop, or speeds up while passing another vehicle, traction control works to ensure maximum contact between the road surface and your tires, even under less-than-ideal road conditions. For example, a wet or icy road surface will significantly reduce the friction (traction) between your tires and the pavement. And since your tires are the only part of your car that actually touches the ground, any resulting loss of friction can have serious consequences.
Safety is the top priority for Chevrolet Malibu. This midsize family sedan is equipped with respectable ride and handling balance, spacious cabin, comfortable seats, more powerful engine, better traction control system and notably higher quality. It comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction control, front- seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. It scored a "Good" rating in the Insurance for Highway Safety frontal offset crash test. Chevrolet Malibu guarantees a superb comfort, high performance, and luxurious interior which make it one of the most popular cars.
