How Often Should a Sedan Rest During Long-Distance Travel?
1 Answers
For long-distance travel during the day, it is recommended to take a break every 3 to 4 hours for a sedan. At night, breaks should be taken every 2 hours. If driving at higher speeds, it is advisable to rest every hour during the day. For safety at night, maintain a steady speed and avoid excessive speed. Below are some precautions for long-distance travel in a sedan and the recommended tire pressure range. Precautions for Long-Distance Travel in a Sedan: Before departure, conduct a comprehensive vehicle inspection, including checking for oil or water leaks, ensuring proper tire pressure, sufficient fuel in the tank, and the condition of the spare tire. Test the brakes to confirm they are functioning correctly. Only proceed with the journey once everything is confirmed to be in order. Avoid high-speed driving and sudden braking during the trip. Reduce speed and honk before taking curves. When driving on mountain roads, stay close to the mountain side. Avoid overheating the brake pads during long descents and never park on a curve. Recommended Tire Pressure Range for Long-Distance Travel in a Sedan: The tire pressure for car tires generally ranges between 2.3 and 2.8 BAR. Any value within this range is considered safe. However, during summer when temperatures are high, the tire pressure can rise above 3.0 BAR even if it starts within the normal range. Therefore, in summer, it is best to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure within the normal range, ideally between 2.3 and 2.5 BAR.
