Revision question · Environmental issues

For normal starting of a diesel vehicle whose handbook says not to use the accelerator, what should you do?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

Leave the accelerator untouched and follow the starting procedure

Pump the accelerator throughout cranking

Hold the accelerator fully down

Rev hard as soon as the engine fires

Show the answer

Leave the accelerator untouched and follow the starting procedureThis was the right answer

Follow the vehicle’s normal starting procedure without pressing the accelerator. Engine-management strategies differ, including cold-start and fault procedures; do not assume pressing it always injects excess fuel.
