Function checks

The road test is an important part of the service programme. Check the functionality of the various components and systems as described below.


• Lighting: Check front and rear lights, direction indicators, brake lights, high-level brake light, rear fog lights and number plate illumination.

• Ignition switch: Check that the gear-lever lock operates satisfactorily and that the key is easy to insert and remove. Check the parking position lock on cars with automatic transmission (certain markets only).

• Engine: Check function and noise level. Make sure the engine acceleration is normal.

• Clutch: Check the clutch disengagement and engagement positions.

• Manual gearbox: Check gearbox operation and noise level.

• Automatic transmission: Check the starting interlock, i.e. that the engine can be started only when the selector lever is in P or N, noise levels and shifting performance.

• Wheels: Check wheel balance and wheel roundness.

• Steering: Check the straight-ahead position of the steering wheel, directional stability and operation of the power steering system.

• Instruments and indicator lamps: Check the operation of instruments and indicator lamps.

• Brakes: Check brake pedal travel, handbrake lever travel (1-4 notches) and the efficiency of the brakes and handbrake.

• Cruise Control: Check the functionality of the Cruise Control system.

• Heating and ventilation unit: Check the operation of the A/C system and controls. When the outdoor temperature is so low that the A/C cannot be turned on, check its operation indoors.

• Wipers and washers: Check the washer jet pattern and wiper operation on the windscreen.

• Check that the clock shows the right time.


Bear in mind the customer's expectations!

Wipe the steering wheel and gear lever clean and make sure that all other traces of pre-delivery inspection and service work have been removed.

Return the driver's seat to its original position if it has been readjusted.
