N E W Cabin air filters Wix's cabin air filters have been enhanced with Micro- ban's proprietary antimicro- bial protection to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew and help keep negative elements from entering a vehicle's interior, keeping cabin air fresher. Microban's technology helps to inhibit microbe growth by attaching to the cell wall and disrupting normal cellular function, which leads to the cell's breakdown and a reduction in the number of microbes on the treated surface, leaving the filters and the air inside the vehicle cleaner longer. Wix Filters, www.wixfilters.com, 800-949-6698 Rear sensor system ASA Electronics' Voyager CVRPS14 Rear Sensor System is comprised of four independent rear sensors spaced evenly along the back of a vehicle to facilitate an accurate reading of the surrounding areas and added range of vision. When an object is detected, the sensors are engineered to provide a visual notification and an audible warning that progressively beeps as objects ap - proach the vehicle. Color-coded signal warning zones, along with the camera image, are designed to visually inform the driver of an object's location. ASA Electronics, www.asaelectronics.com, 877-305-0445 Bypass cooler for transmission Hayden's internal pressure bypass coolers are engi- neered to allow a trans- mission to reach optimum operating temperature faster by routing the fluid around the cooler's bypass channel until the fluid's temperature increases. The coolers help vehicles in colder climates reach proper operating temperatures faster, facilitating improved fuel economy and reduced friction of internal components. Available in four sizes to accommodate a wide range of applications, the coolers come with installation hardware and are predrilled for easier mount - ing. An integrated valve is designed to eliminate the need for external valves and additional plumbing. Hayden Automotive, www.haydenauto.com, 888-505-4567 A/C compressors TRP's Super Heavy Duty A/C Compressors are rated at 2 million cycles and are built with the exact specifica- tions of industry units. Advanced oil circulation for the shaft bearing and seal helps facilitate smooth, consistent operation, while a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel reed valve contributes to longer life.
