Preparations for a long trip
Prior to a long trip it is advisable to check the car's functions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
- the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
- there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
- all bulbs are working
- the tyres have sufficient tread depth and pressure
- a warning triangle and high-visibility vest are located in the car - legally required in certain countries
- the wiper blades are operable.
