How Your Car Works

Updated for 2008! It’s the ultimate challenge for every basic automotive instructor: how to teach students who know almost nothing about car technology. This video is designed for viewers who might have only a vague understanding of an automobile’s inner workings, helping them to become more technically informed about vehicle parts, systems, and operation. With the help of detailed yet accessible animation, as well as high-energy live action footage, the program provides enough technical vocabulary and know-how to communicate with service technicians and to begin preparing for an automotive career. Note: Contains new material on hybrid cars and systems. A Cambridge Educational Production. (17 minutes)
