  1. How should the inside rearview mirror normally be aimed?

    Correct answer: To frame the rear window and show traffic behind.

    The inside mirror is the primary rearward mirror. Its useful view is traffic through the rear window; set its day/night mode appropriately.

  2. Heavy snow interferes with lane assistance. What should you expect from that feature?

    Correct answer: It may not work properly in these conditions.

    The handbook warns that rain, snow, ice, fog, hills and curves can affect assistance features. Keep driving responsibility yourself and respond to the actual conditions.

  3. You drive a different car with unfamiliar safety-feature alerts. How should you learn their operation and limits?

    Correct answer: Read that vehicle's owner's manual and manufacturer guidance.

    Features differ. Learn the specific vehicle's operation and limitations, keep its software current as recommended, and do not experiment with hazards in traffic.

  4. While starting an automatic-transmission car, what should you check besides holding the brake and selecting Park?

    Correct answer: The vehicle's indicator lights and gauges.

    Starting preparation includes observing the vehicle's fuel and safety-system indicators. Use the owner's manual for the starting procedure and meaning of warnings.
