Steering systems 2

What are Steering Angles?

• The angles at which the wheels of a vehicle are set to steer.

• The speed at which a vehicle travels.

• The distance between the front and rear wheels of a vehicle.

• The weight of a vehicle.

Explain Basic hydraulic Power steering.

• A system that uses hydraulic fluid to assist in steering.

• A system that uses electric motors to assist in steering.

• A system that uses manual force to assist in steering.

• A system that uses magnetic fields to assist in steering.

Electric/Hydraulic Power steering is a type of steering system used in vehicles. What does it do?

• It assists the driver in steering the vehicle by reducing the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.

• It increases the speed of the vehicle.

• It controls the braking system of the vehicle.

• It enhances the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

Full Electric Power Steering is a system that:

• uses hydraulic fluid to assist steering

• relies entirely on electric motors for steering assistance

• combines hydraulic and electric systems for steering

• is only used in heavy-duty vehicles

How is Steering Fault diagnosis performed?

• By visual inspection

• Using diagnostic tools

• Through test driving

• All of the above

What is a requirement for the power assistance arrangement to be 'Fail-safe'?

• It must operate without external power.

• It must have a backup system.

• It must be manually operable.

• It must be maintenance-free.

What must the driver be able to retain according to the power assistance arrangement requirements?

• The ability to control the vehicle manually

• The ability to communicate with passengers

• The ability to navigate using GPS

• The ability to refuel the vehicle

The degree of assistance in a power assistance arrangement should be proportional to what?

• the force applied by the user

• the speed of the vehicle

• the weight of the vehicle

• the type of terrain

How does the system use an engine-driven hydraulic pump?

• The system uses it to power the landing gear.

• The system uses it to operate the flight controls.

• The system uses it to generate electrical power.

• The system uses it to manage fuel distribution.

What is the purpose of the pressure switch in the hydraulic steering system?

• To regulate the hydraulic fluid flow

• To monitor and control the pressure within the system

• To provide feedback to the steering wheel

• To ensure the system operates at a constant temperature
