Session 14 (Owning, Insuring, and Maintaining a Vehicle) DE

Define power steering fluid.

• It is a hydraulic fluid used in the steering system of vehicles to make steering easier.

• It is a type of coolant used to regulate engine temperature.

• It is a lubricant for the vehicle's transmission system.

• It is a cleaning agent for car interiors.

Define washer fluid.

• It is a liquid used in vehicles to clean the windshield via the windshield washer system.

• It is a type of engine oil used for lubrication.

• It is a coolant used to prevent engine overheating.

• It is a fuel additive to improve mileage.

Define coolant.

• It is a fluid used in vehicles to absorb and dissipate heat from the engine, preventing it from overheating.

• It is a type of fuel used to power the engine in vehicles.

• It is a device that measures the temperature of the engine.

• It is a lubricant used to reduce friction between engine parts.

Define radiator cap.

• It is a pressure-sealing cap on the radiator that helps maintain the correct pressure in the cooling system.

• It is a device that controls the speed of the engine.

• It is a component that filters the air entering the engine.

• It is a switch used to turn on the headlights.

Define brake fluid.

• It is a hydraulic fluid used in the brake system to transfer force into pressure, enabling braking.

• It is a type of engine oil used to lubricate moving parts in the engine.

• It is a coolant used to maintain the temperature of the car's radiator.

• It is a cleaning agent used to remove dust from brake pads.

Define oil change.

• It is the process of replacing old engine oil with new oil to ensure proper engine lubrication and performance.

• It is the process of replacing car tires with new ones.

• It is the process of cleaning the car's exterior with soap and water.

• It is the process of refilling the windshield washer fluid.

Define engine air filter.

• It is a device that removes dust, dirt, and other particles from the air before it enters the engine.

• It is a device that cools the engine by circulating coolant.

• It is a component that increases fuel efficiency by mixing air and fuel.

• It is a part that controls the speed of the engine.

Define hood latch.

• It is a mechanism that secures the vehicle's hood in place and allows it to be opened when needed.

• It is a device that controls the speed of the vehicle.

• It is a part of the vehicle's exhaust system.

• It is a sensor that measures tire pressure.

Define tire pressure.

• It is the amount of air in a vehicle's tires, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI).

• It is the thickness of the tire tread.

• It is the weight of the tire itself.

• It is the temperature of the tire during operation.

What does it mean if a tire is overinflated?

• An overinflated tire has more air pressure than recommended, which can cause uneven wear and reduce traction.

• It means the tire has less air pressure than recommended, which can cause the tire to wear out faster on the edges.

• It means the tire is flat and needs to be replaced immediately.

• It means the tire is made of a special material that resists punctures.
