JAKARTA - The prolonged dry season has recently become a challenge for commercial vehicles, because when operating it will be more difficult and difficult because it has to deal with the heat of the weather.

For this reason, every vehicle owner is required to check his fleet regularly, to ensure ideal conditions during the trip, as well as minimize damage, one of which is the DFSK Super Cab model as a light commercial vehicle modeling pick-up.

"We urge DFSK vehicle owners to routinely check the condition of their vehicles every day so they don't experience problems during the dry season. Of course, entrepreneurs want their DFSK Super Cab to continue working as usual so that they continue to generate profits and are not damaged which will add costs," said Deputy Head of Customer Service Division PT Sokoindo Automobile, Herry Bertus Windyarto, in an official statement received by VOI.ID, Thursday, October 19.

The following are guidelines for self-examination and treatment that can be done at any time:

Checking the condition of the tires

As is known, tires are the main component that must be checked every day before starting a trip with the DFSK Super Cab. Tires are the only component that rubs with asphalt and faces the heat of asphalt every day. The first thing to pay attention to is that the wind pressure must be in accordance with the guidelines set by the manufacturer.

The condition of tires that lack wind will be very dangerous because there is a risk that tires are damaged more quickly or even erupt if they are carrying a very heavy load. In addition, tires that lack wind will also inhibit wheel scrolling and have an effect on fuel consumption to be wasteful.

In addition, at the same time check the condition of the tire development whether it is still thick or has started to run out (brain brain). The way to check the development of this tire can be seen from the TWI (indicator wear thread) to help in checking the thickness of the tire tread.

Radiator Fluid

In addition to tires, another important thing is that the radiator fluid serves to cool the car engine during the trip. If the radiator water is lacking or even running out, the vehicle will overheat and cause the car engine to turn off.

Therefore, always check the volume of the radiator fluid according to the limits set by the manufacturer. Then also use a special radiator liquid to get maximum performance and avoid carat that can settle in the radiator.

Check Machine Oil

One of the tasks of the engine oil is to help cool the engine temperature. Oil that is too old or has expired, the ability to cool the engine is also reduced. Then don't forget, always use machine oil that has specifications according to manufacturer recommendations.

Always Use The Suitable Fuel

Simple maintenance that is sometimes not carried out by vehicle owners is using fuel that does not match the specifications of the manufacturer. The effect will certainly make the engine lifetime not long and the fuel efficiency is not obtained.

Don't carry a burden too much

Carrying the burden on the tub is excessively dangerous for all parties, making the car unstable and consuming fuel wasteful. In addition, the condition of overloading over dimensional (ODOL) vehicles can make the engine work harder and cause the engine temperature to increase.

Routinely Perform Periodic Service In Official Workshops

The last treatment that must be done is to service the vehicle to the official workshop regularly. Owners of DFSK Super Cab can come to the official DSFK workshop spread across various regions in Indonesia according to the schedule listed in the vehicle guidebook.

Periodic maintenance at the official DFSK workshop will include general check-ups to ensure the condition of the car is always the best.
