Basic Vehicle Technologies 2:
Drivetrains and Environment Exam
Questions and Answers
How does hill descent control assist the driver when traveling down steep hills at very
low speed? - Correct Answers -Applies braking action to individual wheels
What does SynchroRev Match do for a manual transmission? - Correct Answers -
Matches engine speed when upshifting allowing for faster, smoother upshifts
Raises engine rpm momentarily to allow faster, smoother downshifts
What does regenerative braking do? - Correct Answers -Converts normally wasted
energy from conventional braking into electric power
Works with the friction brakes to create outstanding stopping power
What's the benefit of overdrive? - Correct Answers -Allows the vehicle to operate more
quietly and efficiently
Increases economy through better fuel efficiency
Promotes a more comfortable, quieter ride
