  • B.A vibration in the steering wheel only
  • C.A message that appears only after the trip
  • D.A red warning light and buzzer, or a mechanical wig wag that drops into the driver's view on older vehicles
Correct answer

D. A red warning light and buzzer, or a mechanical wig wag that drops into the driver's view on older vehicles

Why

The warning must be impossible to miss, so it combines visual and audible signals in most cabs. Whatever the form, seeing or hearing it at low pressure means stop as soon as it is safe.
