Manufacturer's guide, use a reliable pressure gauge, check all wheels and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, don't forget spare tyre, remember to refit valve caps.
3. 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
6. Tell me how you’d check that the headlights and tail lights are working. You don’t need to exit the vehicle.
Operate switch by rotating twice clockwise (turn on ignition), then walk round vehicle. (As this is a "Tell Me" question, there is no need to physically check the lights.)
Reset back to Auto after.
.9. Tell me how you’d check the power-assisted steering is working before starting a journey.
a. Turn steering wheel and it will fill hard to turn, start engine then repeat and the steering wheel will be easier to turn if power assisted steering is working correctly.
b. 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.
c. Turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.

Turn on dipped head lights to manual position and operate stalk by pushing stalk away from steering wheel (with ignition or engine on), check main beam warning light (blue) is on in front of you on instrument cluster. Turn off by pulling towards steering wheel and return head lights switch to auto and switch ignition/engine off.
