What should be verified before performing dash displacement?

• A. Airbags status and stability of the dash; ensure no imminent deployment
• B. Tire pressure
• C. Fuel level
• D. Battery type

Answer: (A)

Before displacing the dash, you must confirm the airbags are not armed or deploying and that the dash is stable. If airbags are still active or the dash is loose, moving the dash could trigger a dangerous airbag deployment or cause the dash to shift unexpectedly, risking injury to you or your team. Verifying the airbags status helps determine whether you need to isolate or protect the system, and checking dash stability ensures you can perform the movement without sudden shifts or falling debris. Tire pressure, fuel level, and battery type don’t address these immediate safety risks of dash displacement, so they aren’t the focus of this precaution.
