Preparations and Useful Driving Tips

Before hitting the road, inspect your vehicle to ensure it has no technical defects. An on-time departure also depends on the condition of your car. Here are the basic checks to perform:

Essential Vehicle Checks

• **Fluid Levels:** Check engine oil and coolant.
• **Tires:** Check the pressure of all tires (including the spare tire) for safe driving.
• **Lighting:** Ensure all your lights are working correctly.
