subject: Your Cars Checklist Before Boarding On For An Expedition [print this page] There is no better way to test your cars performance than by taking it for a long and enduring trip. However, before you begin with your expedition, look for the important factors first that you need to consider in your cars manual. In the meantime, take note of these plain but very important reminders so that youll know what to prepare for prior to your planned adventure.
Your cars transmission fluid and engine oil are two factors you should check before anything else. Checking these two requires a similar process, which involves noting the level of the oil and the way the oil appears color wise. You only have to make certain that both have reached the mark labeled FULL and the color of the oil is not darker than they are supposed to be. If the case is the opposite, then its time that you change oil.
Subsequently, have the four tires checked as well. If youre not sure of the recommended air pressure for each tire, go and check the label. To find out whether all tires are correctly aligned, get inside your vehicle and wait if youll feel a vibration while driving. If yes, have the tires balanced. Other parts you should also check include the CV joints and the suspension.
Since there is no way you can find out when the battery will run out, watch closely for possible signs of leaks or any kind of damage the battery may have. If you see that there are indeed leaks on the battery, replace it with a new one. New batteries usually last for five years, so, in case the cars battery is almost five or six years old, then its an indication that it should be changed at once.
Whats a first aid kit for the driver is a vehicle emergency kit for a car. At this point, make sure the cars emergency kit is properly attached to a corner where you can easily access it in case of a car emergency. Tools found in your car kit should include pliers, a jack, jumper wires for the battery, a tire gauge, tire wrench, and a flashlight. Along with the car kit, make sure that the spare tires are set as well.
To end, it would be best if you have a GPS Navigation Device installed in your vehicle. GPS devices work by helping drivers with navigating along unfamiliar places. Using it, you can easily identify where the next gas station or cafeteria is located.
