before starting a journey the brake should not feel spongy or slack
the brakes should be tested as you pull off the car should not pull to one side
tell me question number two tell me where you'd find the recommended tire pressures for this car
and how the tire pressures should be checked
so you'll find the tire pressures in the manufacturer's guidebook comes with the car
remember to use a reliable pressure gauge um and test the tires when they're cold not when
you've been on a long journey and oh remember to fit the valve caps tell me question number three
tell me how you would make sure that your head restraint is correctly adjusted um so that you
have the best protection in the event of a crash so the head restraint this is the head restraint
here at the back of your seat and it needs to be adjusted so that this bit here this is what we
call the sticky outfit and that wants to be level with the top of your ears and your eyes so you
like that as you drive it along okay and it's just in case there's a crash it just supports your head
tell me question number four tell me how you check the tires have sufficient tread depth
and that their general condition is safe to use on the road to check their tread depth on your car
all you need to do is get a coin and push it in the tread there and it hopefully will go in so far
so that really reached up where it says pound and you know then that you've got more than 1.6 mil
across three quarters of the tire also you're looking for any bumps or scrapes
or bubbles on the wall of the tyre to make sure that that's safe as well
