Vehicles important enough to support everyday activities, especially while traveling long distances. In a drive should not be arbitrary because it must comply with applicable regulations, and of course would all want an efficient and durable vehicles.

Here are some vehicles care tips that might be useful in the drive and make the vehicle more efficient and durable.

1. Save fuel/gasoline

• Recommended refuel in the morning when the temperature is still cold, because it will make the fuel will be more condensed or more concentrated.

• Make sure the vehicle is well maintained. Clean Oxygen sensor and air filter can save on fuel consumption.

• Check the tire pressure, because if done in accordance with the procedure properly, can increase mileage in 1 liter of fuel.

• Vehicle expenses should not be excessive, because the vehicle with a heavy burden to make wasteful of fuel.

• Driving a reasonable course. If you need quite a drive at speeds below 85 km/h. The reason is, any speed increase by 10 km/h at speeds above 100 km/h will require more fuel.

• You should not start the engine when stopped, because every 15 minutes stationary, the engine will burn about 100 cc of fuel is wasted.

• Use engine oil recommended by the manufacturers factory.

• Avoid heavy traffic lane.

• Where possible, while filling the fuel demand that the officers did not press the gas station to fuel tap for the position of the fastest, but it’s better to fill the tank slowly. Quick charge will only fuel the evaporation process when the fuel pumped from storage tanks. Better to fill the vehicle tank slowly to reduce evaporation.

• Do not get fill of fuel when the tank is empty. When the capacity of fuel in the tank was only remaining half, then immediately added. This is to prevent the air does not enter into the tank. If it gets lots of air into the tank, fuel evaporation will be faster, so the fuel would evaporate quickly exhausted in vain.

• If you look at the gas stations are charging the storage tank, you should abort exception to fill fuel in forced conditions. Because at the time of replenishment of fuel in storage tanks, there was turnover in the tank so that the dirt in the bottom of the tank will be lifted. If forced to fill the tank of fuel because the vehicle was empty, the fuel that enters the vehicle tank will be mixed with dirt. Fuel is mixed with dirt will make the vehicle engine performance is not optimal, and the risk of blockage.

• Use of fuel in accordance with the specifications of vehicles, because if the type of fuel used not in accordance with vehicle specifications may cause damage to the vehicle engine piston rings and reduced power rate generated by the engine.

• The use of fuel for vehicles should be adjusted between the compression ratio on the vehicle containing the fuel octane value is used. The engine which has a high compression requires gasoline with contain a high octane rating. Information about the compression ratio on the vehicle can be seen in the brochure the specifications of the engine when buying a vehicle. For fuel, the octane content of gasoline pertamax is 92, while the value of the octane content of gasoline lower at the 88. Because the effects of too low octane content in the fuel makes the fuel usage becomes more wasteful and too high content of octane in the fuel can make a failure of combustion, so fuel can cause scale buildup in the combustion chamber.

2. Driving safely

• Always check the condition of the vehicle such as gasoline, oil and tires and the vehicle registration and drive license before traveling to anticipate things that are not desirable.

• When driving at the night, visibility would be limited, therefore ensure that the vehicle can function well, including brake lights and rear sein. If necessary, use the type of halogen lamp because it has a brighter light, but not to make glare to another vehicle in the opposite direction.

• Use a strong helmet collision and has a transparent scratch-resistant glass for a clearer view. Choose a helmet that can also reduce the light from vehicle headlights in the opposite direction to view does not glare.

• Use the vest/jacket protector, and when driving at the night often use brightly colored or can glow in the dark.

• Be patient and obey driving regulations, because the highest cause of accidents because of driver negligence.

3. Prevent loss of vehicle

• The most trivial but often forgotten (especially for a clumsy/forgetful) that confirm that the vehicle was in a state locked up safely and have you hold the key.

• Use additional security such as disc lock, steering lock, hidden switch or alarm.

• Select a location easily monitored parking, if you are in the public car park, find a location easily monitored by parking attendants or security cameras.

• If you want to leave the vehicle in a long time, remove one component, such as spark plugs or other electrical components.

• Do not ever put the goods or other securities in the vehicle.

• If necessary, insure your vehicle to get the vehicle protection.

4. Caring for vehicle battery

• Always check the accu water level, make sure the accu water is always above the low-level line, if less immediately add, and do not let the accu water is completely empty, because it can reduce the battery service life.

• If the drive has finished, turn off the lights before you turn off your vehicle engine, so the battery load is not too large when the vehicle is about to be used again.

• Occasionally clean the inside of the accu by using warm water. After cleaning, dry the accu first before recharging, then charge for 2 hours.

• For the dry battery type, does not require too much maintenance, and most importantly, if the vehicle is not used for a long time, then just cut off the negative cable at the battery.

5. Caring for vehicle paint

• Use a special shampoo for vehicle when washing, because the content of chemical substances on the wrong soap can damage the paint and the risk of causing scratches or abrasions on the surface of the paint.

• The process of drying after washing the vehicle must be perfect, because the remaining patches of water can cause water stains and mold that will be very difficult to remove. Use a clean chamois/Kanebo for the drying process, so that the surface paint is not scratched, and can dry out completely.

• Avoid parking in an open area for a long time to avoid sunlight, rain, and dew directly which can make the vehicle paint color becomes dull and can cause corrosion on parts made of metal. If necessary, cover the vehicle when parked in an open area in a long time.

• Do not be too often use a special fluid to the vehicle body polish, because if too often to make a coat of paint on the vehicle body to be eroded, so that the paint color will be faded or washed out.

• Avoid mounting a sticker that too much because when the sticker is removed or released, the protective layer of paint on the vehicle body can participate regardless and will be clearly visible scars on the body of the vehicle.
