LESSON 2 – FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERNAL PARTS OF A CAR 

1. STEERING 

A steering is the wheel that the driver holds and turns to control the direction of a car.

It is also known as the driving wheel or handwheel.

 

2. BRAKE PEDAL

A brake pedal is the pedal that makes a car go slower or stop.

7. WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK CONTROL

Wind and door lock control are the buttons that open or close the window or door automatically or manually.

 

8. AIR VENTILATION CONTROLS 

Air ventilation controls are the devices that control the air conditioner.

It is used used to regulate or control the warm air coming from the engine and cool air from air conditioner.

 

9. TURN SIGNAL BUTTONS AND INDICATORS 

Turn signal buttons are the buttons that turn on the signal indicators and lights.

It sends signal to the driver and other road users indicating right turn or left turn direction.

The accelerator pedal is also known as the gas pedal.

It is used to control the amount of gas pumped and the speed of the car.

Slowly push gradually accelerate the car.

 

15. GEARBOX OR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 

Gearbox is found on the centre of the car.

It can be manual or automatic.

The driver uses the gearbox to manually to shift the gears as he/she accelerate or slow down the car.
