  1. Your car becomes stalled during a winter trip. There is no immediate danger that requires leaving it. Which choice follows the safety guidance?

    Correct answer: Stay with the car rather than setting out unnecessarily into the conditions.

    The winter guidance recommends staying with a stalled vehicle and avoiding overexertion. The scenario does not involve a separate immediate hazard requiring evacuation.

  2. Snow has packed around the exhaust outlet of your stranded car. You want to run the engine briefly for warmth. What must you address first?

    Correct answer: Clear the exhaust outlet before running the engine; do not run it against the snow blockage.

    The guidance specifically calls for a clear exhaust pipe when using a stalled car for warmth. It also limits running the engine to what is needed for warmth rather than continuous idling.

  3. While waiting with your stalled car during a winter trip, which action can help other people locate the vehicle?

    Correct answer: Use a bright marker on an antenna or window and the interior dome light as appropriate.

    The stalled-vehicle advice includes bright markers and the dome light. Making the car noticeable does not require standing in moving traffic.

  4. Repeated attempts to shovel out your stalled vehicle are leaving you exhausted. What should guide your next decision?

    Correct answer: Avoid overexertion; remain with the vehicle when safe and conserve your effort while arranging help.

    The guidance warns against overexertion after a winter stall. Exhausting yourself is not a substitute for a safe plan and assistance.
