Question 1

Tell me where you’d find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.

Answer 1

Manufacturer’s guide, use a reliable pressure gauge, check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, don’t forget spare tyre, remember to refit valve caps.

Question 2

Tell me how you’d check the power-assisted steering is working before starting a journey.

Answer 2

If the steering becomes heavy, the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey, 2 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.
