During the long weekend in May, many of us choose a car at his residence. How do I get to the exit is not met us an unpleasant surprise in the form of a defective car?
Before leaving, we should definitely take care of our vehicle along with our own safety, taking reflective vest with your drive. Alone can check the basic components of the car such as tire pressure, check them for two reasons: security and cost savings, because too low will result in increased fuel consumption and faster tire wear, the state of the spare wheel, the level of fluids (oil, brake fluid, to aid or washer).
It also correctly adjust the seat and ventilate the car. Let’s see it, if they work all exterior lights and the horn is operational. It may be that the need to replace the burned light bulbs. Be sure let’s check the oil level. This operation is performed when the engine is cold. It should also look under the car and check for leaks, or grease. We must remember that basic equipment as efficient fire extinguisher, warning triangle, first aid kit and a safety vest. For their lack of can we get the mandate. It should also make sure that we have the jack and wheel wrench, necessary for self-replacing the tires, if you happen to us “flat tire.” Not worth it, of course, clutter the car, but things like gloves to change a wheel, basic tools (screwdrivers, pliers, a set of the most important keys), and spare light bulbs, fuses, or belt can sometimes be worth its weight in gold. Before going further in the journey but it is worth to go to the professionals and do a comprehensive inspection condition of the vehicle. The mechanics will check among other things, the operation of the cooling system, battery status, belts with reflective tape, discs and brake pads and suspension. Another key issue on the long journey is to make sure that we have with them the necessary documents to travel. We should have a current liability insurance policy, proof of registration with an important overview of the vehicle, service book, call for assistance and the insurer. Poorly secured luggage in the car is a serious threat. How to properly pack for the trip?
