Curious how your car runs? Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible
The engine converts fuel into power. It uses air, fuel, and spark to create explosions that move pistons and turn the wheels.
The transmission controls how much power goes to the wheels. It shifts gears to help the car go faster or slower smoothly.
Press the pedal, and hydraulic pressure squeezes brake pads onto discs—slowing the car down safely and quickly.
Turn the steering wheel and the system moves the front wheels in your desired direction using a rack-and-pinion mechanism.
The suspension system absorbs bumps and keeps your ride smooth. It also helps maintain control and comfort.
All these systems work together to move, steer, and stop your car safely. Now you know the basics of how a car works.
