10 points
antilock brakes
emergency brakes
drum brakes
parking brakes

Explanation:

Analyze engine overheating response

Turning on the heater draws heat away from the engine compartment into the passenger cabin, helping to cool the engine. Removing the radiator cap when hot is extremely dangerous due to pressurized boiling coolant. Turning on the air conditioner adds extra load and heat to the engine.

Analyze headlight use in snow

During snow, rain, or fog, high beams reflect light directly back into the driver's eyes off the water droplets or snowflakes, severely reducing visibility. Low beams direct light downward onto the road, minimizing glare.

Analyze braking systems for steering control

Antilock Brakes (ABS) prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, which maintains traction and allows the driver to continue steering the vehicle while stopping. Standard brakes, emergency brakes, or parking brakes do not dynamically prevent wheel lockup to preserve steering.
