1) Mark these statements t or f according to the information in the text.

1. Auto maintenance describes the act of inspecting or testing the condition of car subsystems and servicing or replacing parts and fluids.

2. Regular maintenance is critical to ensure the safety, reliability, drivability, comfort and longevity of a car.

3. During preventive maintenance, all the parts are replaced to avoid major damage or for safety reasons.

4. Car makers don’t recommend testing the condition of car subsystems.

5. In some countries, the completed services are recorded in a service book.

2) Match heads and tails

Regular maintenance is critical to ensure	major damage or for safety reasons, e.g. timing belt replacement.
During preventive maintenance, a number of parts are replaced to avoid	sensor signals, compensating for worn-out spark plugs, clogged filters, etc.
The actual schedule of car maintenance varies depending on	schedule intervals, which are often in between the ideal or extreme service schedule.
Experienced service advisors in dealerships and independent shops recommend	the safety, reliability, drivability, comfort and longevity of a car.
Today embedded software takes care of it by constantly checking thousands of	the year, make, and model of a car, its driving conditions and driver behavior.

3) Match these terms with their definitions

subsystem	a device in the engine of a motor vehicle, which produces electric sparks to make the petrol burn
preventive	a self-contained system within a larger system
spark plug	the process of keeping something in good condition
filter	designed to keep something undesirable such harm from occurring
maintenance	a porous device for removing impurities or solid particles from a liquid or gas passed through it

car safety

Car safety is the study and practice of design, construction, equipment and regulation to minimize the occurrence and consequences of automobile accidents. Today one of the most important parts of the cars is the safety system. Then, let’s see some instruments that can protect the drivers and passengers.

First, the most common, seat belt. Seatbelt or safety belt is a safety harness designed to secure the occupant of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result from a collision or a sudden stop. As part of an overall automobile passive safety system, seat belts are intended to reduce injuries by stopping the wearer from hitting hard interior elements of the vehicle, or other passengers (the so-called second impact), are in the correct position for the airbag to deploy and prevent the passenger from being thrown from the vehicle.

Of all the automobile-accident-related deaths, an estimated 60 percent were people who were not wearing their seat belt. Oftentimes, the most serious injuries are a result of the collision that occurs once a body is thrown from the seat as opposed to the primary collision the vehicle is involved in. With a seat belt, this second collision is easily preventable.

Second, an important thing is the airbag. An airbag is a vehicle safety device. It is an occupant restraint consisting of a flexible envelope designed to inflate rapidly during an automobile collision, to prevent occupants from striking interior objects such as the steering wheel or a window. Modern vehicles may contain multiple airbags in various sides and frontal locations of the passenger seating positions, and sensors may deploy one or more airbags in an impact zone at variable rates based on the type and severity of impact; the airbag is designed to only inflate in moderate to severe frontal crashes.

Cars have become safer partly because they are now stronger where it counts. To protect occupants from a direct impact, the passenger compartment should keep its shape in a crash. The Design Rules, which set out design standards for vehicle safety (and emissions), specify such things as strength and stiffness requirements for side-doors to help protect occupants in a side impact; collapsible steering columns to minimize the risk of crushing or piercing injuries from a frontal impact; anti-burst door locks; and padding on instrument panels.
