IT'S time to travel for Raya, and before you hit the road to ‘balik kampung’ for the long festive holiday weekend, make sure your car is ready for the long journey ahead.
Here are 10 things you need to check to ensure a smooth and worry-free ride!
Engine Oil: Don't let your engine oil get you down. Check your car's oil level and top it up with the recommended oil type if it's low on quantity.
Tires: Don't tire out before you reach your destination. Check your car's tire pressure and inspect for any cracks, bulges, or wear. If they're worn out, replace them before your journey.
Brakes: Don't brake your journey with faulty brakes. Test them before hand to make sure they're working well.
Wipers: Don't let the rain spoil your Raya mood. Test your car's wipers and replace them if necessary.
Battery: Don't let a dead battery stop you in your tracks. Check it to make sure it has enough charge.
Belts and Hoses: Don't belt out in frustration. Inspect your car's belts and hoses for any signs of wear or damage.
Air Filter: Don't let a dirty air filter bring you down. Check and clean or replace it if necessary.
Fuel: Don't run out of fuel before you reach your destination. Make sure your car has enough fuel for the journey.
By following these easy tips, you can make sure your car is Raya-ready and avoid any unexpected delays on the road.
So, get your car checked properly, buckle up and enjoy the toll-free ride with your loved ones!
