Your client asks you about the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) fitted to their car. Why should you recommend that they read the manufacturer's handbook?
- A They may want to install new ADAS features and will need to learn how
- B Your client needs to know how to disable all ADAS for their driving test
- C ADAS are uncommon and will not be found in most modern vehicles
- D The technologies may differ depending on the manufacturer and the model
Why this is the answer
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will differ between manufacturers – they may have unique names or function in slightly different ways. These technologies are becoming standard in modern vehicles, and it is important to familiarise yourself with the ADAS fitted in your vehicle by using the manufacturer’s handbook.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- They may want to install new ADAS features and will need to learn how — These systems are built in, not added later.
- B
- Your client needs to know how to disable all ADAS for their driving test — Nothing requires them to be disabled for a test.
- C
- ADAS are uncommon and will not be found in most modern vehicles — They are now common across most new vehicles.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
