What Needs to Be Checked Before a Long-Distance Trip?

[VonCorbin]

Check the tires, brake pads, fluid levels, and lights. The specific details are as follows: Tires: First, confirm the tire pressure. The standard tire pressure for most cars is between 2.2-2.5 bar. If it is below 2.0 bar, inflate the tires immediately. After checking the tire pressure, inspect the sidewalls for bulges or cuts. If there are bulges, replace the tire immediately as it cannot be repaired. For cuts, check the depth—if the inner cords are visible, the cut is deep, and it is best to replace the tire. Brake Pads: If the car has alloy wheels, the brake pads are easily visible. The minimum thickness should not be less than 3 mm. Fluid Levels: Check the engine oil by pulling out the dipstick. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. If it is below the minimum level, inspect promptly for leaks, oil burning, or if it is time for maintenance.
