AutomotiveMagz, Automotips – Even though the car was only a year old, there's nothing wrong to inspect the car condition before driving, especially if the car already been used for two to three years. Sometime just because of little things that escape from our observation, a big problem actually appears.
For example, engine oil or battery water. If it’s dried or empty, it can be fatal. Well, here are parts of a vehicle that needs to be checked before you hit the road.
- Engine oil. Pull the dipstick from the hole, and then rub the tip of the measuring marks (indicators). Then, insert the dipstick and pull it back again. Make sure the oil height is in the safe limit (more than half of the measuring mark).
- Wiper water. Check wiper water in its tube. Wiper is very useful for cleaning glass especially in summer
- Radiator water. For new cars, not need to recharge too often, except for the reserve tube. If it was already filled, but kept needed to refilled, immediately take it to mechanic because there could be leakage.
- Air filter. Do this if you have some spare time because it needs some time to get it done. To clean it, blow it with compressor. .
- Engine compartment. Observe the most important parts, check if there is a leakage, whether the battery head is loose, the cables, etc.
- Tire pressure. Make sure air pressure is still in accordance with standard recommendations. Use a pressure gauge. If it was under the standard pressure, then immediately fill the tire when it’s cold.
- Lights. Especially for the brake and the turn sign, make sure all that parts work well. After that, check your dimmer, small lights, and headlights
