Be sure to check your tire pressure regularly, and keep it at the recommended level. This is usually found in your owner’s manual, the doorpost or your glove compartment.
Remember that the over-inflation of your tires is just as dangerous as underinflation. This can cause any of the following to occur…
Uneven tread wear
Weaken your tires
Reduce traction
Impact gas usage
Remember to rotate and balance your tires as recommended by your car’s manufacturer.
Check fluid levels, including motor oil, radiator fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid.
Check the air filter which keeps dirt and debri from your engine. This will ensure a smoother more stable ride.
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk. The kit should include: first aid supplies, jumper cables, a flashlight, fresh batteries, flares, basic tools, duct tape, gloves, flares and a mobile phone.
Check the pressure and wear and tear on the tires.
Check the headlights, tailights, parking lights and license plate lights and turn signal lights.
Check your wiper blades.
