What Needs to Be Checked Before Driving on the Highway?
1 Answers
Before driving on the highway, you need to check the vehicle's exterior, fluid safety, "four pressures" safety, and the braking system. A comprehensive inspection of the vehicle is necessary to ensure it is in good condition and can safely reach the destination. Check the vehicle's exterior: Observe whether the vehicle's lights and various signal lights are functioning properly. On the highway, lights are crucial as they serve as a means of communication between vehicles on the road. "Five fluids" safety check: The five fluids refer to engine oil, transmission oil, power steering oil, brake fluid, and fuel. "Four pressures" safety check: The four pressures refer to oil pressure, voltage, tire pressure, and air pressure. Braking system check: If the thickness is found to be close to or less than the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer, it should be replaced immediately. While checking the brake pads, also inspect the wear on the brake discs or brake drums. If dents appear on the contact surface, resurfacing ("glazing") of the disc or drum is necessary to ensure proper contact area with the brake pads and improve braking force.
