Explanation:

1. The exhaust system is responsible for carrying harmful fumes from the engine to the rear of the car and releasing them. The ignition system starts the engine, the fuel system supplies fuel, and the suspension system provides a smooth ride.
2. When your car breaks - down on an interstate, you should raise the hood and tie a white handkerchief to the left door handle to signal distress. Sitting in the car is dangerous, and standing in improper positions can also be risky.
3. When starting and pulling away in snow, increasing speed slowly helps prevent slipping. Turning the steering wheel slightly is not a key action for starting in snow.
4. When pulling away from a slippery surface in a manual - shift car, using low gear gives more torque and better traction. Letting the clutch out quickly will cause the wheels to spin.
5. Neither statement is correct. The proportion of pedestrians in motor - vehicle accident fatalities is not typically 2 out of 5 in cities, and most of the pedestrians killed are not teenagers.
6. When walking along a road at night, wearing or carrying something white makes you more visible to drivers. Walking on the right - hand side with the traffic is incorrect; you should walk facing the traffic.
