The Basics
What Every Vehicle Owner and
Mechanic Should Know?
“
There’s a lot of
information in this
module about how to
take care of the
vehicle, and not all of
it will apply to you.
“
But as a vehicle owner,
mechanic and driver,
there are some things
you need to know and
some things you need to
have with any vehicle
you encounter.
KNOW WHAT TO DO IN AN
EMERGENCY
It takes time for emergency and roadside help to
arrive.
13
UNDERSTAND HOW
YOUR SAFETY SYSTEMS
WORK
These features can be very helpful, but if you
aren’t aware of them or don’t know how they
work, they can cause panic or confusion when
they engage.
14
OWNER’S MANUAL
The owner’s manual contains a lot of
information about your specific vehicle and
what to do in emergency situations.
15
KNOW HOW TO INSPECT,
MAINTAIN, AND CHANGE
YOUR TIRES
Regular inspections will alert you to any
potential problems.
16
KNOW HOW TO CHECK THE
FLUIDS IN YOUR CAR
Most people don’t check their fluids as
frequently as they should.
17
KNOW HOW TO CHECK AND
REPLACE FUSES
Consult your owner’s manual so you know
where to look if you have to change a fuse.
18
KNOW HOW TO CHECK
COMPUTER CODES
Know how to use a scanner and read the
computer error codes.
19
KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY
JUMP-START YOUR
VEHICLE
The battery isn’t always in a convenient location,
and it’s easy to damage the electrical system if
the car is jump-started incorrectly.
20
KNOW HOW TO FUEL
YOUR CAR
There are a lot of fuels available today.

Types of Cars
Engine, Battery or Combination?
POWER SOURCES
Most cars are powered in one of three ways: by a
combustion engine, by one or more electric
motors, or by a combination of both called a
hybrid.

The drivetrain is the mechanism used to transfer
the power generated by the engine or motor to
the wheels that move the car.

FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE
This V6 car does not have a
transmission dipstick
tube, and it uses
electronic power steering,
so there is no power
steering reservoir.

OILS
USED MOTOR OIL
Is blackened by the
deposits left in the
engine after burning
fuel.
110
“
A car that is leaking oil
will eventually fail when
the metal parts are no
longer able to move
against each other
smoothly.
“
Oil leaks can be caused
by engine or axle seals
failing, a clog in the
engine vent, a loose oil
filter or drain plug, or
even spilling oil on the
engine while filling it up.
BRAKE FLUID OR
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Hydraulic fluid is used
to operate the brakes
and sometimes the
power steering.
113
TRANSMISSION
AND TRANSAXLE
FLUIDS
Transmission and
transaxle fluids work
like both oils and
hydraulic fluids.
114
TRANSMISSION
AND TRANSAXLE
FLUIDS
They lubricate the
metal parts and can be
pressurized like
hydraulic fluids to
operate the
transmission while
115
shifting.
ANTIFREEZE
Antifreeze, or coolant, is mixed with water and is
designed to remove the heat from your engine.
116
ANTIFREEZE
It prevents the water in your cooling system from
freezing and expanding, which will tear apart metal
and destroy the engine.
117
WATER
Most often, dripping
water is coming from
condensation on the air
conditioner.
118
WATER
Water may also
condense in the exhaust
system and be blown
out of the tail pipes
before the exhaust is
hot enough to evaporate
it.
119
FUELS
The most common fuels today are gasoline and diesel.
120
FUELS
Fuels have the consistency of water and can be clear to
amber in color, depending on the grade of the fuel and its
refinement.
121
FUELS
Diesel fuel has a slight oily feel to it.
122
FUELS
Fuels are known for their strong odors, which is a good
indicator of a fuel leak.
