Question 1052 in the bank

What is the function of the vehicle’s dashboard( Control panel)

  1. Correct answer: To control and receive information from the vehicle’s different systems.
  2. The dashboard regulates the engine systems, and prevents tire wear.
  3. To serve as an additional security measure during frontal collisions.
  4. To control the sound system in the driver’s compartment only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: To control and receive information from the vehicle’s different systems.

The dashboard shows the driver information about the state of the vehicle's systems, such as speed, fuel, engine temperature and warning lights. It lets the driver monitor them and identify faults. It is not meant to regulate the engine or prevent tire wear. Protecting passengers in a collision is the job of safety devices such as seat belts and airbags.
