Question

1. this system assists a vehicle in preserving rolling traction and eliminating wheel spin with acceleration of the vehicle.

a) anti - lock braking system
b) airbag (supplemental) restraint system
c) traction control
d) service engine soon or engine
e) overdrive
f) electronic stability control

1. one of the steps to recovering from an accelerator failure is to change gears to neutral.

a) true
b) false

Explanation:

Question 11

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• a) Anti - lock braking system (ABS) is for braking, not acceleration - related traction.
• b) Airbag system is for safety during collisions, not traction.
• c) Traction control systems are designed to prevent wheel spin during acceleration by maintaining rolling traction. This matches the description.
• d) "Service engine soon" is a warning, not a traction - related system.
• e) Overdrive is about gear ratios for fuel efficiency, not traction.
• f) Electronic stability control (ESC) is for vehicle stability during turns, not just acceleration - related traction.

When an accelerator fails, changing the gear to neutral is a valid step. This is because putting the vehicle in neutral allows the engine to idle and the vehicle can be brought to a stop safely without the engine powering the wheels. So the statement is True.

Answer:

c) Traction control
