Monsoon Car Care Tips

KwikFix Auto, an automotive aggregator has released a vital Monsoon Advisory for car owners in India. As the rains begin to pour, the automotive aggregator is committed to educating car owners on the importance of proper vehicle maintenance during the monsoon season.

The Monsoon Advisory:-

♦ Check Tyres: Ensure that tyres have a tread depth of at least 1.6mm for safe driving. Replace tyres if the tread is below this threshold to avoid skidding on wet roads.

♦ Inspect Wipers & Lights: Replace worn-out wipers. Ensure that headlights and taillights are functioning properly and are properly aligned for improved visibility during heavy rains. Check for water or moisture accumulation inside the headlights or taillights and address it promptly.

♦ Protect Against Rust & Paint Damage: Apply a protective wax coating and check for any signs of rust. Address paint chips and exposed metal immediately to prevent corrosion.

♦ Brake Maintenance: Check brake pads and fluids to ensure optimal braking performance on slippery roads.

♦ Interior Care: Use good quality rubber mats to avoid water seepage damaging the car's interior. Keep windows slightly open to prevent fogging. Place moisture absorbers inside the car to prevent the growth of fungus on seat covers and plastic parts.

♦ Emergency Kit: Keep an emergency kit with a flashlight, basic tools, and a first-aid kit. It is also advisable to keep a spare umbrella and raincoat.

♦ Regular Service: Schedule regular maintenance check-ups during the monsoon season to keep the car in peak performance.

♦ Driving Tips: Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and avoid driving through waterlogged areas.

♦ Battery Care: Ensure the battery is securely mounted and the terminals are clean and tight. A weak battery should be replaced.

♦ Ventilation System: Ensure the car’s ventilation system is functioning well to avoid mist accumulation on the windshield.
