You get into a car that a much taller family member drove last. What should you do before you start the engine?
Correct answer: Adjust the seat, the inside and outside mirrors, the steering wheel and the head restraint.
Why
The Rhode Island manual gives a routine for each trip: lock the doors, set the seat, mirrors, ventilation, pedal reach, steering wheel and head restraint, and make sure that everyone buckles up. Also set the radio or other audio before you move. Before you get in, look in front of and behind the car for objects, animals or people.
