  1. Before a long trip in freezing weather, which preparation best addresses several preventable vehicle problems?

    Correct answer: Inspect the battery and tire tread, check antifreeze, and use suitable no-freeze washer fluid.

    Winter preparation includes the battery, tires, antifreeze and washer system. A tank of fuel alone does not establish that the vehicle is ready.

  2. Frost covers your side and rear windows. You have cleared only a small area directly in front of the steering wheel. What is the appropriate next step?

    Correct answer: Clear the windows before setting off so your view is not limited to that small opening.

    The preparation guidance calls for clear windows. Starting with only a small forward opening leaves important parts of the driving scene obscured.

  3. Which collection is most useful if a long winter trip leaves you stranded for a while?

    Correct answer: A flashlight, snow-removal tools, blankets, warning equipment, and appropriate food, water, medication and phone.

    Pack for both a vehicle problem and a wait for assistance. The recommended kit includes visibility and snow-removal equipment, with additional personal supplies for a long trip.

  4. A forecast warns of winter weather along your route. What is the best preparation before leaving?

    Correct answer: Check the weather and directions, allow extra time, and tell someone your route and expected arrival.

    Plan the route and timing before the trip. Sharing the intended route and arrival time helps someone recognize an unexpected delay.
