BEFORE YOU HIT THE ROAD, CHECK THESE 6 THINGS
A breakdown is never convenient. Whether you're heading across town or across the country, a few quick checks can help catch problems before they leave you sitting on the side of the road.
1. CHECK YOUR FLUIDS
Engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and other fluids should be at the proper levels and checked for leaks.
2. LOOK AT YOUR TIRES
Check tire pressure, tread depth, and look for cracks, bulges, uneven wear, or anything that doesn't look right.
3. CHECK YOUR BRAKES
Grinding, squealing, pulling, vibration, or a soft brake pedal shouldn't be ignored.
4. CHECK YOUR LIGHTS
Headlights, brake lights, turn signals, hazards, and marker lights are all important for keeping you and everyone around you safe.
5. PAY ATTENTION TO WARNING SIGNS
That new noise, vibration, hard start, warning light, or change in how your vehicle drives could be telling you something is wrong.
6. CHECK UNDER THE VEHICLE
Take a quick look for fresh oil, coolant, fuel, or other fluids underneath your vehicle. Finding a leak before you leave is a lot better than finding one on the road.
