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 is no fluid leakage
- the brake pedal is functioning properly
- tire tread depth and air pressure are at correct levels. Change to snow tires when driving 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
