Crash Avoidance Systems Require Maintenance

Your customer’s vehicle and its Crash Avoidance Systems capability may be at risk unless you help them make good ride control (maintenance) choices. That’s correct: Shocks, struts, steering, suspension, brakes & tires are the most critical components of a vehicle’s Computerized Crash Avoidance System!

TV commercials and new vehicle salespeople would have you and the motorist believing that just because a vehicle has all the latest high-tech, fancy name features that it’s nearly Crash-Proof. What they don’t tell you is that it only works well (if) you maintain the designed performance of its ride control components. That’s when a service professional can really help the motorist… Stay in Control.

A computer system like Electronic Stability or Traction Control can’t actually stop a vehicle, it can’t change lanes quickly and it can’t help grip the road. Only the tires, brakes, shocks & struts and ride control components can! Computerized controls can only observe how a

vehicle is behaving and make decisions about how to correct a bad driving situation. Electronics and computer software can’t actually correct the problem nor avoid an accident by itself. The service & parts you recommend are what make the difference between it working well, or not.

So, are shocks & struts important to Crash Avoidance? Of course they are because they control the vehicle’s springs, which in turn controls body movements like pitch, roll & yaw. When too much spring movement occurs due to shock & strut wear the steering becomes unresponsive which causes under & over-steer problems as well as reduced tire to road contact. As a vehicle begins to lose control, Crash Avoidance kicks in and tries to keep the vehicle in control by applying brakes, slowing engine speed and in some models it changes transmission, cruise control & steering functions.

the service professional can help the motorist: By helping them understand the importance of ride control maintenance parts like shocks & struts that help keep Crash Avoidance working at its best.

KYB is one of the world’s largest suppliers of shocks & struts to new vehicle manufacturers and are original equipment on many of the world’s top selling vehicles. The importance of Crash Avoidance is why all KYB shock & struts have original equipment quality and are specifically calibrated to help restore a vehicle’s designed performance.

Helping the motorist stay in control is an auto care industry shared responsibility. The more you know and share with the customer, the safer we all drive!

Safety statistics show that most vehicle accidents occur to vehicles that are 4 to 8 years old.

You may be surprised to learn that National Highway Traffic Safety statistics show that most vehicle accidents occur to vehicles that are 4 to 8 years old. Virtually all vehicles in that age range are equipped with Crash Avoidance Systems, but they’re still involved in the most collisions. That’s where you,
