You want to buy new tires for your car. What do you have to observe?

For the size of the tires, only the information in the vehicle's operating manual applies

Wider tires are always allowed, narrower ones are not

The specifications in the type certificate or COC paper must be followed

The tires must bear a Euro approval mark

8 / 15

Category: Class B -3- Vehicle Technology, Winter Driving - Level 4

You are driving your car and release the accelerator. Nevertheless, the vehicle gets faster. What dangers can arise if you behave incorrectly?

If I only disengage the clutch, engine damage can occur

If I try to stop the car with the foot brake, the engine can be damaged

If I try to stop the car with the handbrake, I can skid

If I mistakenly remove the ignition key, I can no longer steer

9 / 15

Category: Class B -3- Vehicle Technology, Winter Driving - Level 4

What advantages does a car with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) have compared to a car without this system?

Higher cornering speeds are possible with an ABS-braked vehicle

During full braking, the vehicle remains partially steerable

An ABS-braked vehicle is less likely to skid even during full braking

I can brake longer without the brakes overheating

10 / 15

Category: Class B -3- Vehicle Technology, Winter Driving - Level 4

You are driving your car. This warning light comes on. What does this mean?

There is not enough coolant

The engine has not yet reached operating temperature

The temperature of the coolant is too high

The temperature of the coolant is low

11 / 15

Category: Class B -3- Vehicle Technology, Winter Driving - Level 4

You are driving your car. This warning light comes on. How do you behave as long as this warning light is on?

I drive in the lowest possible gear

What purpose do the individual positions of the selector lever serve on this automatic car transmission?

With "D/S" the vehicle drives forward. I can choose the shift strategy

With "P" I secure the stationary car against rolling

"R" position engages reverse gear

"N" position switches to neutral

13 / 15

Category: Class B -3- Vehicle Technology, Winter Driving - Level 4

What advantages does a car with electronic stability control (ESC, DSC, ESP, etc.) have compared to a car without this system?

The stability control can brake individual wheels of the vehicle without the driver's intervention

The stability control replaces snow chains during steep uphill drives in winter

The stability control tries to prevent vehicles from tipping over during sudden steering maneuvers

The stability control tries to prevent the vehicle from skidding or spinning by braking on one side
