Tires: Your First Line
Check your tyres! The monsoon demands superior grip. Ensure adequate tread depth for effective water displacement; the legal minimum is 1.6 mm. Consider
replacing worn tyres for a safer ride. Remember, good tyres are your best defence against aquaplaning and skidding on wet roads. It is like your vehicle's 'raksha kavach' during the rains!
Brakes: Stop Smartly!
Brakes are crucial. Get your brake pads and discs inspected. Ensure they're in top condition to handle the increased braking distances in wet conditions. Consider a brake fluid check too; contamination can compromise performance. Remember, smooth braking is vital. Regular brake checks are as important as your daily chai!
Wipers: Clear Vision!
Don't underestimate wipers! They're your eyes during heavy rain. Replace worn wiper blades for streak-free visibility. Also, keep your windscreen washer fluid topped up and ensure the nozzles are clean. Good visibility is a must; it's like having 'divya drishti' on the road. Ensure to check it before you drive every time!
Lights: Be Visible!
Check your car's lights! Ensure all headlights, taillights, and fog lights function properly. Clean the lenses regularly. Use your headlights even during the day to enhance visibility. This is particularly important in the hazy monsoon weather. Safety first, like always putting the 'tilak' on before any auspicious event!
Underbody: Protection Needed
Protect your car's underbody! Monsoons bring corrosive elements. Get an anti-rust treatment to prevent damage. Wash the undercarriage regularly to remove mud and debris. This will safeguard against long-term corrosion and maintain your car's longevity. Remember, prevention is better than cure – just like in Ayurveda!
