If your car is standing in the parking lot for a long time, then these car care tips can be very useful for you.
Due to the second wave of Corona epidemic, most of us are sitting in our homes. Due to Covid-19, neither we are able to go anywhere nor anyone is able to reach us. In such a situation, our cars are also standing in the houses and about this, now the famous automobile manufacturer Ford has also given some tips about the maintenance of the car. By following these tips, you can take full care of your car during lockdown.
First let’s talk about where you should park the car. If your car is going to stand for a long time, then park it inside the shed so that it will be safe and clean. If there is no shed, then use a good quality cover so that it does not get rusty and does not fade the color of the car from the sunlight. If your car is standing inside, do not cover it because it can get moisture in humid weather.
Take care of tire
If you want to get the best experience of driving your car on the road, then it is important to have a correct tire. In such a situation, if the car is standing for a long time, then the air pressure in it decreases. Therefore, it is important to check the air in the tires from time to time. This is the most important thing to do in this lockdown. Also check the valves and caps of the tires so that the air does not come out.
Do not use hand brake
If the vehicle has to be parked for a long time in lockdown then it is not right to use handbrake. This can cause corrosion of the brake pads and disc / drum contact points, which can also lead to car jam. Instead, you can use wheel choke and leave the car in the first gear. With this, park the car on equal ground.
Take care of fuel too
If your car is not being used, it can also happen that its fuel tank gets rusted. Less fuel can have a harmful effect on the fuel pump, this will make the pump go faster. In addition, condensation can occur in the empty tank due to less fuel, which can also lead to corrosion. So keep the car filled with fuel and also keep in mind that the tank is completely full.
Take care of battery and engine
If you are not going to use the car then it is better that you disconnect its battery. If you cannot do this, then turn on the car once every fourth-fifth day and check it to see if the battery is working or not. Apart from this, change the engine oil of the car also from time to time.
Apart from the exterior of the car, take good care of the interior as well and keep it clean. Start the car every fourth-fifth day and run the AC and the blower also so that it helps to blow the dust or other parts present in the cabin. Do not keep any kind of food items in your car. This can damage your car.
