Things to check before starting your car


Car Repair

What: Things to check before you start driving a car.

Why: You don’t enjoy being late or being stuck due to vehicle breakdown – do you?

When: Every time you start the car – Or at least before the first start of the day.

Skill Level: All you need is a little observation and of course you need to remember this simple checklist.

The checklist:

From Outside:

  1. Check Tyres: Begin by verifying whether the tyres are effectively fixed: It is always better if you have a pressure gauge, but in any situation just see if pressure is clearly low in any of the tyres. It is also better to effectively examine tyres every week and re-inflate them (including extra tyre) to their suggested demands. You can also lightly kick a tyre or two – not only to make you feel a little better about the task, but also for the good luck charm!
  2. Check Underbody: Thoroughly examine under your car and in some situation even on top, for stray dogs and cats. Why? Well, I don’t think we need explanation for this one!
  3. Check Leaflets: If you are one of those souls who frequently park their car in the public parking spaces – then you will know better about the undesirable ads and leaflets that are powerfully trapped under your wiper blades / mirror housings / door-handles etc

From Inside:

  1. Adjust Seats: Check and adjust seat position and also adjust the rear view mirrors. Get an ergonomically comfortable driving position is of utmost importance.
  2. Check Headlight & AC: Before you turn engine, see if AC, headlights and other electronic devices are shut-off – your car will mostly begin trouble free even with these on, but then they will certainly impact your car battery’s life and in most advanced vehicles – it could damage the important electrical too.
  3. Warning Lights: After you turn-on the ignition wait for all warning lights in the instrument cluster to illuminate before starting the car.  Once you begin the car all the lighting should vanish in a short time except handbrake warning light. In case any light remains to be on like Oil level indicator or battery power, get you car checked from a service center.

This might sound a little foolish, but can be a lot of pain if ignored. Always do remember to check if there is enough fuel in the car to at least reach the nearest fuel station.

Now the final factor to do is to make sure that all headlamp and indicator lights is working fine; and though we declare that the use of horn should be little, it is still essential to check that it is working – as we still drive on the great Indian roads!
