washer
Always keep windshield glass clean
to avoid any distortion in visibility.
Ensure proper working of wipers and
condition of wiper blade. Ensure that
windshield washer reservoir is full. Do
not operate wiper alone when the
windshield glass is dry, this would
damage the windshield and wiper
blades.
Headlights
Keep headlight lenses clean. Check
for operation of headlamps in both high/
low beam condition. Check for correct
focusing of headlamps. Use only
recommended type of bulbs. Do not
use the high beam unless it is
necessary, as its dazzle may blind the
driver of an oncoming vehicle, thus
causing an accident.
