Question 2

What should you do if the 'engine temperature' warning light comes on while driving in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Stop safely as soon as possible, turn off the engine, let it cool, and check the coolant level; do not open the radiator cap while hot

Answer

An overheating engine can cause serious damage. Pull over safely, switch off the engine, and wait for it to cool. Never open the radiator cap when hot as pressurised steam can cause severe burns.

Question 3

What is the correct tyre pressure for a vehicle in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Refer to the manufacturer's recommended pressure shown on the vehicle's door frame sticker or owner's manual

Answer

Correct tyre pressure varies by vehicle and is specified by the manufacturer, usually on a sticker on the driver's door frame or in the owner's manual. The sidewall number is the maximum, not the recommended pressure.

Headlights (dipped beam), tail lights, and number plate lights must be illuminated

Between half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise, vehicles must have headlights (dipped beam), tail lights, and number plate illumination lights switched on.

Question 5

What is the purpose of the vehicle's braking system warning light?

Accepted Answer

It warns of low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or a braking system malfunction — stop and check immediately
