TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT There shall be a tire alert pressure management system provided that shall monitor each tire' s E pressure. A chrome plated brass sensor shall be provided on the valve stem of each tire for a U_ total of six ( 6) tires. U a The sensor shall calibrate to the tire pressure when installed on the valve stem for pressures Y between 20 and 120 psi. The sensor shall activate an integral battery operated LED when the pressure of that tire drops eight ( 8) psi. d Removing the cap from the sensor shall indicate the functionality of the sensor and battery. If the sensor and battery are in working condition, the LED shall immediately start blinking. J r C Meets Exceeds Comments: d E R 35.

ANTI -LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM The vehicle shall be equipped with an anti -lock braking system. The ABS shall provide a four 4) channel anti -lock braking control on both the front and rear wheels. A digitally controlled system that utilizes microprocessor technology shall control the anti -lock braking system. Each wheel shall be monitored by the system. When any particular wheel begins to lockup, a signal shall be sent to the control unit. This control unit shall reduce the braking of that wheel for a fraction of a second and then reapply the brake. This anti -lock brake system shall eliminate the lockup of any wheel thus helping to prevent the apparatus from skidding out of control. Meets Exceeds Comments: 38. ANTI -LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WARRANTY Y The ABS system shall come with a three minimum ( 3) year or 300, 000 mile parts and labor warranty provided by ABS manufacturer. d a Meets Exceeds Comments: a 39.
