SAFETY
CHECKLIST

DRIVE SAFELY
Make sure your battery has a strong charge, clean

BATTERY terminals, and proper cable-to-terminal connection.

Replace the battery if it is already near its end
of Service.
Test the headlights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse

LIGHTS lights, and tail lights in the garage. Replace busted

lights. Check also for dirt, cracks, and breakage.
If you spot any, have the lights cleaned or fixed.

OIL
Check the engine’s oil level and color[. When the oil is
below the minimum level, it’s time to refill. Look also for
oil leaks.

WATER
Check the water level of the radiator to prevent
overheating of the engine.

Check the brakes by stepping on the brake pedal

BRAKES fully with the engine turned on. If it feels spongy, too
hard, too soft, or it sticks to the floor, then don’t use
the car. Call a mechanic and have it checked.

AIR
Keep the right tire pressure to prevent accidents
and decreased fuel economy. Tires, regardless if
they’re old or new, lose air over time.

GAS Do not forget to check your fuel level through the

fuel gauge before you take your car out for a drive.

Check for leaks that indicate an engine problem.

ENGINE Start the engine and listen to its sound. If you hear
pinging, tapping, knocking, or any weird noise,
better have a mechanic check your engine

TIRES
Check the tire tread depth by inserting a coin into
the tire’s grooves. If you can see much of the coin’s
outer band, that means the grooves are already
shallow, and you need new tires soon.

SELF
Assess yourself before driving. Do not drive
when you are drunk, sleepy, sick or feeling tired
