At RAPP, we continue to expand our offerings to prepare you as best as possible for the driving theory test for licence B. From now on, you will find a brand-new chapter in the app: Technical knowledge of the car.

Why this chapter is important

During the theory test, questions will not only cover traffic rules but also the technical workings of the car. Think about the engine, gearbox, fuel consumption, tires, brakes, and warning lights on the dashboard. Thanks to this new chapter, you will gain all the fundamental knowledge you need to take the test with confidence.

What will you learn in this chapter?

• The engine and fuel: difference between petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric.

• Gears and foot placement: when to upshift or downshift.

• Fuel consumption and eco-driving: tips for driving economically and environmentally conscious.

• Dashboard lights: identifying red and orange signals.

• Maintenance and safety: tires, brakes, lights, and fluids.

• Battery and coolant: how to recognise failures and prevent issues.

• Braking technique and engine braking: driving safer and more economically.

• Tire choice: summer, winter, and all-season tires.

With this overview, you not only gain the right knowledge for the test, but you also learn how to keep your car in good technical condition.
