Vehicle Safety Checks Before You Hit the Road this Summer
BC has endless beauty to discover. Whether you’re going on a cross-province adventure, or heading to the Okanagan for a weekend getaway. But before you start your journey, it’s important to perform essential safety checks to ensure your trip goes as planned.
Here are some important vehicle safety checks to help with that!
Tires
Have your tire pressure, tire depth and overall condition of your tires checked for any visible damage such as cuts, punctures, or bulges. In addition make sure your spare tire is functional.
Fluids
Your vehicle’s fluids are the lifeblood of all the moving parts. This includes:
- Engine Oil
- Coolant
- Brake Fluid
- Transmission Fluid
- Windshield Washer Fluid
Lights
Ensure your high and low beams are functioning, along with your brake lights, signals and hazards.
Brakes & Battery
If you hear squeaking or grinding noises when braking, it may indicate worn brake pads. This should definitely be checked ahead of any long-distance trip. As well, make sure your battery life is in good working order.
Emergency Kit
- first aid kit
