Tyre care is essential for maintaining vehicle
safety
:Tyres should be checked on a regular basis
and before any long driving trips. Correctly maintained tyres will improve fuel economy, extend tyre life and improve vehicle safety.
1.Tyre inflation should be checked every two weeks
when cold.
2.Abnormal wear patterns indicate possible wheel
alignment or suspension problems.
3.Vibrations in the steering indicate the tyres may
require balancing.
4.Make sure that tyres have a minimum of 1.6mm
of tread depth.

Buying Gas :Become gas-buying nocturnal. Only fill
your tank during the coolest time of the day―late evening or early morning. Gas is more dense in cooler temperatures. And since fuel pumps measure by volume, rather than by density, you’ll receive more gas for your buck. Don’t overfill your tank. If using an automatic nozzle, stop at the first click. Avoid the fuels or additives that claim to increase your gas mileage. The only thing these “wonder liquids” increase is your spending. If you don’t mind the inconvenience, only fill your tank half-full. Less fuel means less weight.

Don’t fill up if you see the tanker : If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local
gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

Fill with washer fluid only : Don’t add water to the
windshield washer reservoir. It won’t clean as well as washer fluid, and it may freeze in cold weather and damage the system. Don’t try to run your windshield washer system once you suspect there’s no more fluid in the tank, or you may damage the washer fluid pump.

Blast mats with the hose When washing your car,
drag out the rubber or carpet floor mats and blast them with the hose.This will dislodge dirt particles that, if allowed to build up, will grind holes in your mats. Let the mats dry thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling them.

Keep a Clean Machine :Keeping your vehicle as
clean as possible to cut down the damage done by salt and sand.Take your vehicle to the car wash as often as possible. Many car washes offer steam cleaning and undercarriage cleaning as well as traditional car washing,Have your car re-waxed and sealed when you have it washed.

Don’t forget to flush Coolant-antifreeze eventually
degrades and becomes contaminated. Flush it from your cooling system as recommended in your manual (typically every two years; every five years for newer coolants). Failing to do so can damage your radiator, clog your heater core, and cause the thermostat and water pump to fail.

Keep the tires inflated . Under-inflated tires can
reduce the tire life by 15% and will slightly decrease your gas mileage, perhaps by 10%. Inflating tires is perhaps the easiest of all activities, and many stores sell tire gauges for a very small cost. Checking your tire pressure every other time you get gas will reduce tire wear and prevent these issues. Monitor your tire tread with a penny. Insert the penny into the tread with Lincoln's head down. If the top of his head is not obscured by the tread, your tires need to be replaced. Basically, if you can see all of Lincoln's head, you must replace your tires.

Tape saves light covers A cracked taillight or turn-
signal cover, if left alone, may allow your light compartment to fill with water and cause some real damage. A good short-term fix is to tape over the crack. Use the red or orange tape that’s made for this purpose.You can purchase it at many automotive parts stores.

Don’t mix coolants Avoid mixing coolants that are
different in color. If your coolant is pink, don’t add a
green formulation to it. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a thick solution that won’t do its job. Use only the coolant specified in your owner’s manual.

Wash your car : Road salt, sludge and pollution can lead to costly body work. Without regular cleaning,
you can start to notice rust on the bottom of your doors within four years. Another three to four years and the corrosion will creep to underbody components, like brake lines. It can cost thousands in rust-related repairs if you neglect to wash your car, especially near ocean/gulf shorelines where the road sand or morning dew might be salty.

Clean dash gauges carefully Use a soft damp cloth
to lightly wipe dust from the clear plastic lenses on your dashboard. Too much pressure will scratch them. Too many scratches can make it difficult to read your gauges under certain lighting conditions.

Use your parking brake . Even if you are driving a car with an automatic transmission, use your parking
brake regularly, especially if you're parked on an incline. It helps keep the brakes adjusted in the rear of the car and makes them last longer. Do not use your parking brake in the wintertime because your brake will freeze and it will be stuck until it thaws out.

Power steering fluid should be checked regularly to ensure it is filled to capacity.
The fluid can be checked via the reservoir. For the
specific location relating to your vehicle please check your owner's manual. Only use the recommended oil for your car, this information can be found in your owner's manual. Never over fill the reservoir.

Give your car a new skin New self-adhering urethane films have been developed to protect the most vulnerable painted areas on your car from stone chips and other minor abrasions.You can wash and wax these surfaces, just as you would the rest of the paint job. While it’s best to have these films professionally installed, you can peel them off yourself. One product is made by 3M, and you can learn more by going to 3m.com and searching for Scotchgard Paint Protection Film Solutions.

Maintain proper inflation Under-inflated tires are a
tire salesman’s best friend. They create excessive heat and stress that can lead to tire failure. If you want to get every last mile out of your tires, get yourself a tire pressure gauge and use it at least once a month (more in hot weather) to keep your tires inflated to the recommendation in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Check tires when they are cold (driven for less than one mile) for an accurate reading.
