JAKARTA - Ahead of the 2023 Christmas and New Year holidays in 2024, many people have planned trips with their families to tourist attractions or hometowns. In order for the trip to run smoothly and safely, maintenance of vehicles before leaving is an important step to reduce the risk of accidents or other obstacles.

The following are tips and tricks from Asajai Indonesia's insurance, through a statement received by VOI, Thursday, December 7, to prepare vehicles before traveling long distances.

Check Engine And Oli Conditions

The engine is the main component as a source of driving the car. Ensure engine conditions by checking volume and oil filters. The use of the latest oils helps lubricate the engine components, reduce friction, and prevent wear. Check regularly because good oils support engine performance, especially on the brake system and steering gear.

Pay Attention To The Condition Of The Car's Aki

Aki provides electricity for various components of the car. Check the starter system, the function of the head unit, lights, horns, and other electric components. Make sure the battery is in good condition so as not to experience problems during long trips.

Make Sure The Radiator's Condition Remains Stable

Radiators play a role in keeping the car's temperature from overheating. Check the radiator water level and avoid filling with regular water. Use radiator water containing Ethylene Glycol to avoid radiator water evaporation and maintain temperature balance.

Check The Condition Of The Car's Legs

Long trips require checking the legs of the vehicle, including tires and car bearings. Check the wind pressure on the tires to avoid wind shortages that can affect fuel efficiency, handling, and safety. In addition, check car bearing conditions to maintain wheel stability and prevent disturbing vibrations.

By paying attention to these several things, it is hoped that the vehicle can function optimally during the trip, provide comfort, and increase safety factors for passengers. Enjoy the holidays!
