The new year is almost here. For anyone who is planning to leave the provinces.
We would like to recommend that you check the important points of your vehicle before leaving.
You can do a basic check yourself as follows.

engine
      First of all, let's survey the color and viscosity of the engine oil. By lifting the oil dipstick. This is usually a yellow handle. To pull it all the way up. And look at the color of the oil on the dipstick or use a white cloth to wipe it to see the clear color. If you find that the engine oil starts to have a coffee-like color or becomes thick and sticky. You should change your engine oil when you're ready for a long trip.

Defroster system and wiper arm
    When traveling, if traveling up a mountain or traveling in an area where the temperature changes suddenly, such as rain, fogging may occur. This usually occurs when the temperature inside the cabin and outside conflict with each other. This is often clearly noticeable during the rainy season. Where the air inside the cabin suddenly changes, causing fog to appear on the glass. Checking the demister system You press the button to turn on the defroster system and leave it for a while. Then touch the glass to see if it heats up. If the glass heats up, it means that the bleeder system is still working well and check the windshield wiper system. that water can be sprayed out normally and the wiper arm should be soft, not too hard And clean the glass well before traveling.

battery
Check to make sure there are no salt buildup or loose battery terminals. If it is a water battery or semi-dry, semi-water battery The distilled water level should be checked so that it is not too low. And most importantly, you should always go to a service center or a shop that has a battery meter to measure voltage and current so you can have peace of mind throughout your trip.

car tires
Tire pressure and the right amount of tire inflation have a huge impact on driving. Make sure that all tires are evenly inflated around each tire. And there are no cuts, cracks, or tires that are too thin. Because it may cause accidents while traveling.

Suspension
Before actually traveling, test drive the car to see if there are any abnormalities such as Do the shock absorbers deflate while driving or make a loud noise when falling into a hole? Including symptoms of the steering wheel shaking and shaking when starting to pick up speed. All of this may be more than a problem with the vehicle's suspension. You should check first.

If done regularly and consistently, open the car hood just 5 minutes before traveling. I feel relieved and ready to travel.
