Lesson

1 Check-up Procedures

In this fast-paced world, managing your personal and professional

lives can be really hectic. If you don’t have your own personal mode of
transportation, life can become even more hectic. To make your life easier,
you should always find an easier and reliable mode of transportation.

There are a lot of benefits such you cannot rely on public

transportation and can easily get from point A to B. However, if you own a
car, you can ease the burden and stress by dropping them by yourself.
Additionally, this can even lower your transportation costs on renting
vehicles or using public transportation. This can result in a significant
amount of savings on public transportation costs.

What’s New

Directions: Answer the following questions briefly. Write your answers on your
notebook
1. Have you experienced trouble while travelling?
2. Why did it happen?
3. How were able to cope with it?

 What is It

Lesson

1 Check-up Procedures

Checking Procedures are classified into nine:

 Oil Level. Oil level gauges are usually made

of brass with a patented-dual chamber
system for protection and a stainless steel
grid for impact protection.

 Brake Fluid. Is a type of hydraulic fluid

used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic
clutch applications in automobiles,
motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles.
It is used to transfer force into pressure, and
to amplify braking force.

 Fuel Gauge. To the sender unit, then turn

the vehicle on. If the fuel gauge reads full,
this indicates a problem with the sender
unit or the in-tank mechanism.

 Coolant level. Check your cooling fan - a

seized cooling fan is the most common cause
of initial overheating.

 Battery. A container consisting of one or

more cells, in which chemical energy is
converted into electricity and used as a
source of power.

2
  Tire Pressure. Is a precision measuring
instrument used to measure dimensions in
thousandths of an inch.

 Position of driving gear. These are used

for measuring or setting of distances, and to
lay out arcs and circles.

 Lighting and warning devices. Its purpose

is to enable the deployment of the warning
system to prepare for the danger and act
accordingly to mitigate or avoid it.

 Ignition key. A car key can open the doors,

as well as start the ignition, open the glove
compartment and also open the trunk (boot)
of the car.

What’s More

Directions: Match the items in column A with their uses in column B. Write
the letter of your answer on your notebook.

A B
____1. Battery (electrolyte)
____2. Lighting and warning
devices
____3. Tire Pressure
____4. Coolant level
A. An electrical fault opens, the electrical
circuit causes the indicator to show the
tank as being empty (theoretically
provoking the driver to refill the tank)
rather than full (which would allow the
driver to run out of fuel with no prior
notification).
B. A car key can open the doors, as well as
start the ignition, open the glove
compartment and also open the trunk
(boot) of the car
C. A type of hydraulic fluid and used to
transfer force into pressure, and to
amplify braking force.
D. Can improve your car’s performance

____5. Ignition key E. Used for measuring or setting of
distances, and to lay out arcs and

____6. Brake fluid F. Consists of lighting and signaling
devices mounted or integrated to the
front, rear, sides, and in some cases the
top of a motor vehicle.
____7. Position of driving G. Consisting of one or more cells, in
gear which chemical energy is converted into
electricity and used as a source of
power.
____8. Fuel Gauge H. Getting the right air pressure in your
vehicle’s tires is crucial to ensuring a
safe, efficient, and comfortable drive.
