Tell me how you’d check that the brakes are working before starting a journey.  \nExplain that brakes should not feel spongy or slack and your vehicle shouldn’t pull to one side. Brakes should be tested as you set off.  \n2. Tell me where you’d find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.  \nThe manufacturer’s guide will explain how to do this. You must use a reliable pressure gauge, and check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold. Don’t forget to check the spare tyre and remember to refit valve caps.  \n3. Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash.  \nThe rigid part of your head restraint must be at least as high as your eyes or the tops of your ears and as close to the back of your head as possible-whilst still remaining comfortable.  \nNote: Some restraints might not be adjustable.  \n4. Tell me how you’d check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road.  \nTyres shouldn’t have any cuts and bulges. There must be at least 1.6mm of tread depth across the central three-quarters ofthe breadth of the tyre and around its entire outer circumference.  \n5. Tell me how you’d check that the headlights and tail lights are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.  \nExplain how you’d operate the switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk around your vehicle (as this is a ‘tell me’ question, you don’t need to physically check the lights) .  \n6. Tell me how you’d know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system.  \nExplain how the warning light should illuminate if there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system.  \n7. Tell me how you’d check the direction indicators are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.  \nExplain how you’d operate the switch (turn on your vehicle’s ignition if necessary), and then walk round vehicle (as this is a ‘tell me’ question, you don’t need to physically check the lights) .  \n8. Tell me how you’d check the brake lights are working on this car.  \nExplain how you would operate the brake pedal and then make use of reflections in nearby windows or doors to check-or ask someone to check for you as you operate the pedal.  \n9. Tell me how you’d check the power-assisted steering is working before starting a journey.  \nIf your steering becomes heavy suddenly, then the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey, two simple checks can be made: gentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively, turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning or not.  \n10. Tell me how you’d switch on the rear fog light(s) and explain when you’d use it/them. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.  \nOperate the relevant switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary) . Check that the warning light is on. Explain its appropriate use  \n11. Tell me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you’d know the main beam is on.  \nOperate the relevant switch (with your engine and/or ignition on if needed) . Check the settings using the main beam warning light.  \n12. Open the bonnet and tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient oil.  \nTo answer this, you must first identify the dipstick/oil level indicator. Then, describe the check of your oil level against the minimum and maximum markers.  \n13. Open the bonnet and tell me how you’d check that the engine has sufficient engine coolant.  \nFirst, identify the high and low level markings on the header tank where it’s fitted or on the radiator filler cap. Then describe how to top it up to the correct level.  \n14.
