Des cript ion and Operat ion
Road or roll ing road t es t ing may be carri ed out for various reasons and a procedure det ail ing pre-t es t checks , throughengi ne s tarti ng and s topping, pre-driving checks , on-t es t checks to final checks on complet ion of t he tes t are given.
Unles s complete vehi cl e performance is bei ng checked, t he ful l road t est procedure need not be carried out . Ins tead, t hos eit ems part icularly relevant t o t he s yst em(s) bei ng checked can be ext racted.
Pre-Test Checks
W ARNING: If t he brake s yst em hydraul ic fluid level i s l ow, pedal travel i s exces si ve or a hydraulic leak is found, donot att empt to road t est t he vehicle unt il t he reas on for t he low fl ui d l evel, excess ive pedal travel or hydraulic leak isfound and rect ified.
It is s ugges t ed that pre-t es t and funct ional t es ts of t hose sys tems/circuit s whi ch affect t he safe and l egal operati ons oft he vehi cl e, s uch as brakes , light s and s teeri ng, should al ways be carri ed out before the road or roll ing road tes t .

Make anote of any apparent leaks and wipe off t he surrounding areas t o make it easi er to identi fy t he extent of the leakon complet ion of t he tes t.
Starting the Engine
• NOTE: On i nit ial dri ve away from cold and wit hi n t he fi rs t 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress accelerat or pedal beyond halft ravel unt il t he vehi cl e has att ained a minimum s peed of 25 km/h (15 mil es /h). Never operat e at high engi ne speed or wi tht he accelerat or pedal at ful l travel whil st the engine i s cold.
With the ignition off, check:
The parking brake is appli ed.Automatic transmission: The s el ect or lever is i n 'P' - PARK.Manual transmission: The gear l ever i s in NEUTRAL.All i ns t rument gauges read zero.
With the ignition on, check:
