Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of
long journey, it is important to check the car's
functions and equipment particularly carefully.

consumption is normal
there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
•
brake force during braking is optimal
•
all lamps are working - adjust headlamp level

pressure. Change to winter tyres when driv-
ing to areas where there is a risk of snowy or
icy road surfaces
starter battery charging is good

the wiper blades are in good condition
•
a warning triangle and high-visibility vest are
•
located in the car - legally required in certain
