The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) was the first agency to begin testing for roll-over possibilities. The test involves a new vehicle making an emergency lane change.

There’s no substitute for regular gauge checks of your tires’ pressure, but of course, unless you want to stop every few miles and do this, you can only be so sure your last readings were correct. Fortunately, every vehicle made after 2007 (and many before) are equipped with a TPMS…

The exhaust system is located directly behind the engine, housing a few cylinder heads that collect gases evaluated and analyzed by oxygen sensors. These gases are then refined by the catalytic converters and ultimately muffled by the muffler and coughed into the air.
