Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with systems that contribute to the driver’s comfort and safety. For the comfort system we can think of electrically adjustable exterior mirrors: while manoeuvring, the driver can easily adjust the mirror so the car can be parked close along the curb.
In the “safety” category there are systems that help minimise damage in the event of an accident (for example the airbag and crumple zone), but also systems that help prevent an accident, such as driver assistance.
On the subpages behind the tile “Climate and HVAC” you will find all topics related to the interior climate control. HVAC stands for “Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning”.
To prevent a vehicle from being stolen as much as possible, the central locking system is equipped with a so‑called rolling code, and the immobiliser can only be deactivated with a correct key code. The systems that prevent unauthorised access to the vehicle are listed on the overview page “security and access”.
