Question 8260
Is it necessary to check that a vehicle's lighting system is working properly?
- No, it is not necessary.
- Only if the vehicle is not equipped with xenon lights.
- Yes; it is part of preventive maintenance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes; it is part of preventive maintenance.
Yes. Lights that are dim or aimed incorrectly make it harder to see and tire your eyes sooner, so lighting is part of preventive maintenance. Check that all bulbs turn on, the headlights are properly aimed, and their lenses are clean. This applies whether the car has xenon lights or another type. In the image, a man checks the car at dusk with the headlights on.
