Monsoons are just a few days away. Wet roads and water lodging are the most common driving conditions you will have to face as per the tradition. How can we forget the potholes and the poorly managed rough speed breakers? In Spite of all the adversities, we are bound to keep going with our daily routine. Whatever be the situation, none can compromise with the work/job that needs to get completed. To get through the monsoon weather safely, you need to prepare your car with the following aspects.

  • Tires

The first and the foremost thing you must consider checking is Tyres. The wet roads and the potholes won’t allow you to get through unless you have good tires with ample treads and duly filled gas. If your vehicle’s tire is old and has lost most of its tread, you must consider replacing it with new ones. It is always advisable to have an extra pair of new tires for long trips.

  • Braking and fluids

Your vehicle’s braking strength will face the actual test during rains, where the wet roads and the reckless drivers worsen the driving experience. You ought to be sure of your car’s braking performance.

Moreover, you must be sure if all the fluids in the vehicle are up to the mark. If not, refill to avoid further probabilistic stoppage.

  • Wipers and washers

The rainwater falling on the windshield makes it impossible to see across and drive. Wipers play an essential role in helping you drive even in heavy rains.

Along with the rainwater, dust gets stuck to the Headlamps, mirrors, windshields, and exteriors. A functional washer would minimize the burden of cleaning this dust and making the vehicle ready to go for another drive.

  • Working lights

Visibility is a big concern during rainfalls. The sprinkling of water and the dim sunlight of monsoon season reduces the visibility. To cope with this situation, you will need good lights to drive while it’s dark.

  • Battery and wiring

Check and ensure that all the wires are in good condition. Your car’s electrics will have to work more in the rainy season. Check If your battery is in a proper working shape. Consult an expert if the battery is old. If the battery doesn’t seem to go long, replacing it with a new battery would be best.

  • Pre-monsoon service

It is advisable to get your car serviced by an best car dealer near you rather than trying to do it all by yourself. There are several things you might not notice, but a person with expertise in the field would catch even the slight probabilistic issue to make you future-ready.

  • Spares

No one can predict what situation will arrive while you drive. It is advisable to have spare components (wiper blades, fuses, etc.) inside the car every time you take your vehicle for a drive. Moreover, having spare clothes, towels, a torch, a battery, and a first aid kit is always fortunate.

 

These are a few things you must check for before the monsoon arrives.

Be proactive with your vehicle, and be prepared for any probabilistic situation.

Enjoy the monsoon drive!
