Uncertain times call for certain measures

Tips to make your car feel at home

Your vehicle needs your attention especially when it is kept at rest for long periods of time. Here are some tips to protect your car and keep it healthy.

Safe parking

Park the car on an even, solid and dry surface
Disengage parking brakes, and keep gears in engaged mode(or “P” for auto-transmission cars)

Protect Battery

Start the car once a week and keep it in idle for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tire health

Increase tire pressure(only if you have a compressor) during parking period, to avoid cracks on tire sidewalls.
Move the car back and forth (in your parking area) to prevent damage.

Air circulation

Keep AC fan blower speed position at full speed when parked.
Switch off fresh air recirculation mode when parked.

Clean car

Clean bird dropping on regular basis to prevent surface or paint damage.
Cover the car for long duration parking.
Ensure no eatables are left inside the car to keep rodents at bay.
Use hand sanitizers after touching the door handles of the car
