Answer
|
| Tell me how you would check that
the brakes are working before starting a
journey. |
Brakes should not feel spongy or
slack. Brakes
should be tested as you set off. Vehicle should not
pull to one side. |
| Identify where the windscreen
washer reservoir is and tell me how you would
check the windscreen washer level. |
Identify reservoir and explain how
to check level. |
Tell me how you make sure your
head restraint is
correctly adjusted so it provides the best
protection in the event of a crash |
The head restraint should be
adjusted so the rigid part of the head
restraint is at least as high as the eye or top
of the ears, and as close to the back of the
head as is comfortable. N.B. Some
restraints
might not be adjustable |
| Tell me how you would check the
tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread
depth and that their general condition is safe
to use on the road. |
No cuts and bulges, 1.6mm of tread
depth across the central ¾ of the breadth of
the tyre and around the entire outer
circumference. |

to physically check the lights.) |

there was a problem with your anti lock braking
system |
Warning light should illuminate if
there is a fault
with the anti lock braking system |
