In your vehicle, what should you adjust before you start your engine?

  1. Adjust the seat so you can reach all controls

  2. Adjust the steering wheel height

  3. Check tire pressure

  4. Fill the gas tank

The correct answer is: Adjust the seat so you can reach all controls

Adjusting the seat so you can reach all controls is crucial for safe driving. Before starting your engine, ensuring that you are comfortable and can operate the vehicle's controls effectively is a fundamental step. A properly adjusted seat enables you to have full visibility of the road and access to the pedals and steering wheel without straining. This adjustment not only enhances your comfort but also supports better control of the vehicle, increasing safety for yourself and others on the road. While checking tire pressure, adjusting the steering wheel height, or filling the gas tank are important vehicle maintenance tasks, these actions are not as immediate in terms of driver readiness before starting the engine. They can be addressed at different times, whereas seat adjustment is essential for ensuring you are poised to drive safely before you even turn on the ignition.
