sustème de réduction de la consommation


Explanation:

I want to let you know that the US-built Honda Civic Hybrid (IMA) has a valve pause system that’s used to reduce fuel consumption by deactivating three of the four cylinders. It works from oil pressure in a similar way to the VTEC system, the only difference being that oil pressure controls small pistons inside the rockers. The rockers are normally locked, which allows the valves to function as usual unless the spool valve switches off oil pressure to the rocker pistons (somewhere between 900 and 3200 rpm). I am not sure if you have this model in Australia but I know it is over here in the UK and I think it is in the US too. Hope this helps.
