What Should Be Checked in a Vehicle Before Driving on the Highway?

[DeKinsley]

Before driving on the highway, the vehicle should be checked for tires, various fluid levels, the steering system, etc. Tire Inspection: Visually inspect for signs of cracks or bulges; check tire pressure. In summer, it's advisable to slightly reduce the pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar to prevent blowouts. Fluid Inspection: Check if the engine oil is sufficient, as high-speed engines require good lubrication. Prolonged high-speed driving can lead to increased water temperature, and insufficient coolant may cause the engine to overheat, leading to smoke or even fire in the engine compartment. Brake fluid should not be deteriorated, as this can cause it to boil easily, resulting in insufficient braking force. Steering System Inspection: Check for any looseness in the steering wheel by attempting to turn it. According to regulations, when driving straight for one kilometer, the vehicle's lateral deviation should not exceed 5 meters. Also, inspect the rotating components on the chassis for any deformation or sticking.
