Before taking your private car out of the garage, it's important to check a few essential things to ensure a safe and hassle-free journey. Here are the key points to check:
Tire Condition: Check if the tires have adequate air pressure and inspect for any cracks or damage. Make sure the tire pressure is at the correct level.
Brake System: Ensure that the brakes are functioning properly. Press the brake pedal to check the braking power.
Engine Oil: Check the engine oil level. Too little or too much oil can cause damage to the engine.
Coolant and Radiator: Check the coolant level and ensure the radiator is in good condition to manage the engine temperature.
Lights and Indicators: Verify that the front and rear lights, brake lights, indicators, and hazard lights are working properly.
Fuel Level: Ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank. Running on a low fuel level could cause problems during the journey.
Wipers and Washer Fluid: Check if the wipers are working properly, and ensure the washer fluid level is adequate, especially in case of rain.
Battery: Check if the battery connections are secure and that there is sufficient charge in the battery.
Vehicle Documents and License: Make sure to carry your driving license, vehicle registration, insurance, and pollution control certificate (if applicable).
By checking these things, your trip will be safer and more comfortable.
