1 fill up: To "fill up" a car (with gas or petrol) is to put fuel into a car until it is full. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank", meaning he wants Icarus to put gas in the vehicle. Note, to be "full up" is have a full stomach; to eat a maximum amount of food.
2 pump: A "gas pump" is a machine that transfers fuel to a vehicle. It is normal to "fill up" the "tank" of vehicle using a "pump". To "pump up (a tire)" is to inflate it with air.
3 unleaded: "Unleaded gas" is a type of gasoline without lead that is used to fuel vehicles in order to reduce pollution. In the audio, Icarus asks for "premium unleaded gasoline" which usually costs more and gives a better motor vehicle engine performance.
4 tank: A "(gas, petrol, fuel) tank" is a metal reservoir or container that holds the fuel for a vehicle. Philip asks Icarus to "fill up the tank". Note, a "tank" can also refer to an armored military vehicle.
5 hood: The "hood" (US) ("bonnet", UK) of a vehicle is the metal cover (or lid) of the part of the car that holds the engine. To access the car motor, you usually have to "lift up", "open" or "pop" the hood. The hood is situated at the front of a vehicle, and the "trunk" (US) ("boot" UK) is situated at the back of a vehicle.
6 oil: "(Machine) oil" is a petroleum derivative that is used to lubricate a machine such as a motor or engine. The "oil level" refers to the amount of lubricant remaining in the car engine.
7 tires: A "tire" (US) or "tyre" (UK) is a rubber band around a wheel, for example around the 4 wheels of a car or the 2 wheels of a bike. Tires are made of rubber. If one is deflated then we say that it is "flat".
8 windshield: The "windshield" (US) or "windscreen" (UK) is a protective piece of glass or plastic which protects the car's driver and passengers from objects and the elements. In the audio, Icarus asks for the windshield to be washed because it has a lot of dead insects on it.

1 steering wheel: The 'steering wheel' is the circular, disk-like device used by the driver to direct the vehicle. The term is composed of two interesting terms: the adjective 'steering', which comes from the verb 'to steer', which means to control the direction of something and 'wheel', any circular or disk-like object, often on an axis so that rotation is possible.
2 brake: A 'brake', (or 'the brakes') is a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle, usually by means of friction. Most good cars have 'brakes', accessible by depressing a pedal, as well an 'emergency brake' (or 'hand brake') located adjacent to the drivers seat. Did you know? 'Hit the brakes' is a common expression meaning 'slow down'!
3 clutch: In an automotive context, the term 'clutch' has two related meanings. It refers to the pedal which is depressed in order to engage and disengage the 'stick shift' while changing gears, as well as to the mechanism which changes gears itself. 'Clutches' are only present in cars with manual transmissions. Note that the term 'clutch' is generally preceded by the definite article 'the'.
4 gears: In an automobile transmission, a 'gear' is a mechanism which permits the driver to 'switch' or 'alternate' between different relations of torque and speed for the vehicle. The gears of a car also permit the driver to increase or decrease speed progressively, as well as reverse directions. The verb most commonly associated with 'gears' is 'to shift'. Did you know? 'Let's switch gears' is a common expression meaning 'let's change the topic of discussion', or 'let's do something completely different'.
5 windshield: The 'windshield' (US) or 'windscreen' (UK) is a protective piece of glass or plastic which protects the car's driver and passengers from the elements. Did you know? There are no common expressions which use the 'windshield', although this is place that 'windshield wipers' are found, rubber blades which remove water and dirt from the glass.
6 tire: A 'tire' (US) or 'tyre' (UK) is the rubber ring or band which surrounds the 'rim' of a 'wheel'. It is this rubber which comes in contact with the ground when a car is driven. When a 'tire' is punctured it must be replaced: this is called a 'flat tire'. Did you know? 'To burn rubber', an expression which means 'to go very fast', originates in the smell and sound of tires when a car accelerates very quickly, and the rubber of the tires 'burns'.
7 horn: The 'horn' of a car is the device used for emitting a noise to alert motorists of your presence, (very rarely called a 'klaxon'). 'A horn' has several other meanings; notably it is a brass instrument sometimes called the 'French Horn', or a general term for the brass section of a band, as well as the term for the projecting skin on the head of many animals such as goats and cows (and the devil). Did you know: 'To toot (or blow) your own horn' is an expression which means to 'boast', 'brag' or to talk highly of yourself or accomplishments.
