Question 1722
Must you turn off the engine if you have to get out of the vehicle to unload luggage?
- No, if it is a brief stop.
- No, you only need to apply the parking brake.
- Yes, and you must also switch off the starting system or ignition.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, and you must also switch off the starting system or ignition.
When getting out to unload luggage, the driver leaves the driving position. The engine must therefore be turned off and the starting or ignition system switched off, even if the absence is brief.
