Preparing for a long trip

It is important to have the vehicle's systems and
equipment checked carefully before driving long
distances.
Check that:
•
the engine is running properly and that fuel
consumption is normal
•
there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
•
the brake pedal is functioning optimally
• all lights are working ‒ adjust the headlight
height if the vehicle is carrying a heavy load
•
tire tread depth and air pressure are at cor-
rect levels. Change to snow tires when driv-
ing in areas where there is a risk of snowy or
icy roads.
•
the start battery is sufficiently charged
•
the wiper blades are in good condition
