Answer
 Applying the indicators or hazard warning switch and check functioning of all indicators. (may need to switch ignition on, prompt not to start engine)
 Operate brake pedal, make use of reflections in windows, garage doors, etc, or ask someone to help. (may need to switch ignition on, prompt not to start engine)
If the steering becomes heavy the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey two simple checks can be made. Gentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.
Apply footbrake firmly. Demonstrate by applying parking brake (handbrake) so that when it is fully applied it secures itself, and is not at the end of the working travel.
Set all relevant controls including; fan, temperature,air direction / source and heated screen to clear windscreen and windows. Engine does not have to be started for this demonstration.
Operate control to wash and wipe windscreen (turn ignition on if necessary.)
Check is carried out by using control (turn on ignition if necessary).
Operate switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary). Check warning light is on. Explain use.
Operate switch (with ignition or engine on if necessary), check with main beam warning light
Operate switch (turn on ignition if necessary), then walk round vehicle. (As this is a "Tell Me" question, there is no need to physically check the lights.)
 Warning light would illuminate if there is a fault with the anti lock braking system.
No cuts and bulges. 1.6mm of tread depth across the central 3/4 of the breadth of the tyre and around the entire outer circumference.
The head resraint should be adjusted so the rigid part of thje head restraind is at least as high as the eye or top of the ears and as close to the back of the head as is comfortable. NB some restraints might not be adjustable.
