BASIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES 1 EXAMS SCRIPT
2026/2027 QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔What is the function of seat belt pretensioners? - ✔✔Tighten the front seat belts
during impact to help provide better energy dissipation
✔✔What is the primary restraint system in every vehicle? - ✔✔Seat belts
✔✔What is the function of the ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor) mode for seat belts? -
✔✔Allows a child safety seat to be installed with the seat belt without using a locking
clip
✔✔Why are air bags called a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)? - ✔✔They are
designed to be used in conjunction with a seat belt
✔✔What can prevent Intelligent Lane Intervention (I-LI) from activating even when it
detects vehicle movement out of a lane with detectable lane markings? - ✔✔A turn
signal has been activated
✔✔Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) uses sonar to help detect large stationary objects
behind the vehicle when backing up, but what objects may not trigger the system to
engage? - ✔✔Obstacles with a soft outer surface that may absorb a sound wave, such
as a snowbank
Obstacles high off the ground
Obstacles in a position offset from the vehicle
✔✔What are the benefits of using seat belts? - ✔✔Best single protection device
throughout range of all possible collisions
Reduces likelihood of making contact with interior components in a crash
✔✔What does Zone Body Construction do? - ✔✔Provides a reinforced passenger
compartment that resists deforming
Divides the vehicle into three zones
✔✔What do high-strength guard beams do? - ✔✔Help add protection for the passenger
compartment
✔✔What components are part of Vehicle Dynamic Control? - ✔✔Brake pressure sensor
Four wheel-speed sensors
