JAKARTA - Entering the end of the year marks the entry of the holiday season, and not a few choose to use cars to go various dream tourist destinations with their families.

In response to this phenomenon, there are some easy tips that families who are going on vacation can do, using a Suzuki car, so the year-end holiday trip is calmer.

" Vacationing with family to welcome the end of the year is the most anticipated activity because it is a moment for parents to take their children on vacation. For that, we urge the whole community to pay more attention to safety while driving, one of the easiest things is to ensure the use of seat belts and take advantage of safety features that have been embedded in Suzuki cars," said Hariadi, Assistant to Service Department Head of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS), in an official statement received.

Here are tips that must be done to stay safe and comfortable during the trip:

1. Make sure all passengers have used seat belts

Before starting the trip, it is very important to ensure that the seat belt has been properly installed. Often the use of this seat belt is focused on the driver and the passengers sitting in front of the wheel, even though everyone in the car including passengers in the middle and back rows also needs to maintain safety during the trip.

As is known, seat belts have an important role in safety. For this reason, the Suzuki passenger car is equipped with a warning sensor so that when the seat belt is not fully installed, the warning light will turn on.

2. Use Child Seat for child safety

For those who bring children, it is recommended to use child seat according to their age to ensure safety and calm during holidays.

Child seat choices are quite diverse so that they adjust the needs of children at each age, for example, such as seat boosters for teenagers so that seat belts are comfortable to use, or baby cars seats specifically designed for infants to toddlers who need ISOFIX to ensure their safety is perfectly attached. Suzuki cars such as XL7, Grand Vitara, Ertiga, Baleno, Ignis, to S-Presso are designed with a global safety system so that they are equipped with ISOFIX, namely a hook system in the sitting area and the back of the car seat that is used as a child seat point.

3. Take advantage of the Child Proof Near Door Lock feature on the passenger line door

In addition to paying attention to the seat belts that are always installed, it is also important to ensure that the doors and windows of the passenger row have been perfectly locked to anticipate the child opening them when the car is still running.

In addition, to give more peace during the trip, passenger Suzuki car users can also take advantage of the child proof door lock feature located on the inside side of the passenger row door. When activated, the door can only be opened from the outside so that the child's potential to open the door without parental supervision can be minimized.

4. Ensure safety support features for cars in an active and normal position

Some safety support features such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brave Assist (BA), Airbag, to Hill Hold Control (HHC) that have been embedded in cars play a role in reducing the risk of accidents, and increasing the safety ratio of car users in unanticipated emergency conditions.

Cars today are mostly equipped with features that help maintain control over vehicles, and prevent potential loss of control due to reduced wheel traffic in less ideal road conditions. To ensure the function of safety features continues to run normally, Suzuki's Official Workshop also always checks on customer cars that are carrying out routine maintenance.
