Road Test
There are two purposes for conducting a road test.
Firstly, to ensure the work completed within the
dealership meets the standards required as laid
down by dealership processes. Secondly, for a
skilled technician to assess the general condition of
the vehicle and report any conditions that the
customer should be made aware of.
CAUTION: Two wheel dynamometer tests must
not be carried out. Four wheel dynamometer
tests must be restricted to 3 mph (5 kph).

positions.
Selector Cable – (Automatic only)
1.Check for correct setting of gear selector cable.
Engine Performance and Throttle Operation
1.Start engine and check that it starts easily.
2.Check that 'oil pressure' and 'no charge'
warning lamps extinguish.
3.Check that throttle pedal movement is free and
unrestricted.
4.Check that engine is responsive to throttle
movement.
Clutch and Gear Selection –
(Manual only, normal driving conditions)
1.Check that clutch engages smoothly without
judder, slipping or noise.
