B Category questions

1. Show or tell how to lock and unlock the steering wheel.

B category questions are the easiest of them all. But you shouldn't take it too lightly, that's why read the questions carefully. Good luck !

Turn off the engine, take out the key and turn the steering wheel until you hear a click. To unlock it put in the key, and turn the key and the steering wheel at the same time.

If it is a Start/Stop button it usually locks and unlocks automatically, in some cases you need to open the driver's door and turn the steering wheel to lock it. Unlock it by closing the door and simply turning on the engine.

2. How will you check the oil level in the engine.

Open the hood, take out the dipstick, clean it, put it back in, take it out again and check where the level is. It should be between minimum and maximum marks.

The car should be standing on flat ground and the engine should be cold.

3. Show or tell how do you check if the power steering is working.

If the engine is turned on, the steering wheel should move very easily. If the steering wheel requires a lot of strength to move it, there is a problem with power steering.

It might even be shown on the dashboard.

4. Show where to turn on the rear window heating.

There is a special button for it. It shows a rectangular shape with wavy arrows pointing upwards.

Pull the handbrake and try driving forward. If the car is not moving, the handbrake is working.

Other method is you can stop downhill or uphill, put the gear in neutral and pull up the handbrake. If the car is not rolling, the brake works.

7. Where you will refill the window washer fluid.

The tank is located under the hood. On the cap it shows a window with a water stream going upwards.

When you press the airbag with a horn marking on the steering wheel, a loud beep sound should come out.

10. How do you know if there is no malfunction in the anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Other way is when suddenly braking, the wheels lock and you won't feel brake pedal vibrating.

11. How do you check the level of the brake fluid.

You locate the tank that is directly under the brake pedal and check if the level of the fluid is between minimum and maximum.
