  1. CHAPTER 4 Systems and Checks Prior to Driving STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 4 LESSON 1 Comfort and Control Systems • Match the vehicle part on the left with a description of one of the part’s functions on the right. d g a h f b c e j i

  2. The ignition system has five positions. What are they, and what do they do? • On: • turns on ignition, electrical systems, dashboard information gauges and warning lights. • Start: • draws power from the battery to the engine. • Off: • turns off the engine but does not allow the key to be removed. • Lock: • locks the ignition switch and steering wheel. • Accessory: • lets you use electrical equipment without running the engine. • FIND OUT MORE. Talk with somebody you know who has a vehicle with cruise control. • When does this person use cruise control? • Does the person feel that less concentration is needed on the road because of cruise control? • Why shouldn’t you ever use cruise control in the rain???

  3. STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 4 LESSON 2 Visibility and Protective Systems • For each sentence below, circle T if the statement is true and F if it is false. Correcteach false statement in the space below. • Your side-marker lights come on when you turn on your headlights. • True • A good set of mirrors will eliminate all blind spots. • False – Mirrors cannot eliminate all blind spots. • You can rely exclusively on your mirrors when backing up. • False – You must also turn your head to look over your shoulders. • If you are wearing a shoulder-lap seat belt at the time of a crash, your risk of being killed is reduced by 50 percent. • True (text says 45%) • An example of a passive safety device is an air bag. • True

  4. All states require very young children to ride in safety-tested seats and approved car seats. • True • Air bags are most effective in preventing injuries in rear-end crashes. • False – Air bags are most effective in preventing injuries in frontal crashes. • Head restraints are valuable in preventing injuries to the head because the restraints prevent your head from hitting the steering wheel. • False – Head restraints prevent injuries to the neck by stopping the head from snapping back. • FIND OUT MORE. Ask an adult to move a vehicle to an open area. Get into the driver’s seat, and adjust the mirrors so that you can see as much of what is behind and next to you as possible. Have the adult walk around the vehicle while you observe the person. • Where are the blind spots in that vehicle? • How did you know? • Draw a diagram below that demonstrates exactly where the blind spots are:

  5. Look online or in your NJ MVC Manual to find the answer:During the daylight hours when rain, snow, or ice, motorists must turn on ___________________ and ____________________. • Headlights and Wipers

  6. STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 4 LESSON 3 Information and Communication Systems • For each sentence below, circle T if the statement is true and F if it is false. Correct each false statement in the space below. • If your alternator warning light comes on, you should turn off any unnecessary electrical devices and check with a mechanic as soon as possible. • True • The oil-pressure gauge tells you if your vehicle is low on oil. • False – The oil-pressure gauge tells you if the pressure at which the oil is being pumped is low. • If brake fluid is leaking, the brake warning light will come on. • True • Your vehicle’s backup lights are red or amber and come on when you shift into Reverse. • False – Your vehicle’s backup lights are white and come on when you shift into Reverse. • Vehicles are required by law to have a license-plate light. • True

  7. What does itdo? • Speedometer • Shows how fast the vehicle is moving. • Fuel gauge • Shows how full or empty the gas tank is. • High-beam indicator • Tells you whether your high-beam headlights are on or off. • Temperature gauge • Tells you if the engine temperature is too hot. • Alternator • Provides electricity to keep the engine running. • Oil pressure gauge • Warns when the pressure of the oil being pumped to the engine is low. • Emergency flashers • Warns other driver that the vehicle is stopped or slow moving. • Odometer • Keeps track of miles driven. • What if it is not working? • Speedometer • You would not be able to tell how fast the vehicle is moving. • Fuel gauge • You could run out of gas easily. • High-beam indicator • It may be difficult to tell if the high-beams are on. • Temperature gauge • The engine could overheat easily without any warning. • Alternator • Battery will eventually run down and you are out of power. • Oil pressure gauge • The engine may seize if there isn’t any oil lubricating the engine . • Emergency flashers • Lack of communication with other drivers may cause them to crash into stopped or slow moving vehicles. • Odometer • You may not be able to tell when it is time to change the oil.

  12. What procedures should you follow for an inside-the-vehicle check before you start the vehicle? • Close and lock all doors • Put your seatbelt on/make sure all passengers put theirs on • Adjust the seat, head restraint and mirrors • Have passengers adjust head restraints • Clean inside of windows • Secure all packages • Familiarize yourself with controls • Put the key in the ignition • FIND OUT MORE.
