00:00Hi guys and welcome to DriveSpark, I'm Pramit and today's video is going to be slightly
00:14different because in today's video we are going to talk about road trips and the safety
00:22measures that you need to take care just before you go on your next road trip.
00:27Now road trip is something that really someone wants and someone really wants to go out with
00:33family alone or wherever you're going but a key important thing about road trip is to
00:40check your vehicle just before you start from your place and that thing is really really
00:45important because at the end of the day the vehicle is only gonna take you to your destination
00:50so the vehicle has to be in a very proper condition.
00:55So let's start this video and I will be telling you some tips that you need to follow before
00:59you go for your next road trip.
01:03So number one, number one thing is when you are just gonna go for a road trip a day or
01:10prior before you should check your tyre condition.
01:13Now you just go around your car have a look if there are some issues with your tyre if
01:19some tyre is damaged in some way then you should get it changed because let me tell
01:24you that the tyre is the only point of contact between the road and the car so that is the
01:30number one safety thing that you should take care of and I think checking the tyres is
01:35a very very good thing apart from that not only you should check the treads you should
01:41check the sidewalls but you should also check the air that you're filling in the tyre and
01:48air pressure is very important when you are travelling so if for example this car that
01:55we are sitting in this is the Creta N line and if you just open the door from here below
02:00there is a chart now in that tyre pressure chart it's written that if you're two people
02:06travelling then the tyre pressure can be 33 psi but if you are four people travelling
02:11along with luggage then the recommended tyre pressure is around 35 psi and I think you
02:17should follow what has been given by the manufacturer because they have tested it out
02:22in various conditions with the load with everything and also when is the right time to fill your
02:27car with air so the chart that you see over here now the pressure that is written is cold
02:33tyre pressure now what is cold tyre pressure so cold tyre pressure is basically when your
02:37car has stopped for overnight you have parked it and the next day in the morning when you
02:43go out is when your tyres are cold the air is not expanded inside the tyre and that is
02:49the time you should fill the tyre with the correct amount of air that has been recommended
02:54by a manufacturer now some pumps I would like to mention that they don't have a correct
02:59tyre pressure like it's not calibrated correctly so you should have a pump of your own or maybe
03:05a pressure gauge a tyre pressure gauge of your own so after filling if there is a lot
03:09of pressure because if it's recommended 33 some pumps after filling it can go up to 34 and 35 so
03:15just after the fill you can just move out and you can just deflate your tyres or if there is
03:20slightly more pressure required and if it's and if it's not filled up to the mark then you can
03:24again like come and tell them to fill like one or two psi more so first thing is to take care of
03:31your tyres now the next thing that I would like to mention is that since we're going on a road
03:42trip visibility is very important and for that what you have to do is you have to check your
03:49wiper fluid the tank that is there inside the hood that obviously sprays water on your windshield
03:56now that has to be full because when you're going on a road trip obviously if you're cruising on the
04:01highway there will be some bugs some debris dirt that come and stick onto your windshield now
04:06regular water can get them off but if you have a proper wiper fluid that has been recommended by
04:13the brand or some other brand but typically for the car and typically for your wipers
04:18you should definitely fill that up because again that is a very important thing you should not use
04:25soap or shampoo like some people have been using and I know of some people and I have mentioned it
04:31to them as well so what happens is that when you mix water with shampoo or soap after some time
04:36when you park the car that chemical basically separates and it settles down below the tank now
04:41what will happen is that over time either it will clog the motor that is pressurizing the water out
04:48and if you damage the motor then you have to pay and get a new one there is no repairing for that
04:53motor it's a small motor but yeah a proper wiper washer fluid is what is required so
05:00that is another point you should take care of
05:05now the third thing is fuel now once again obviously if you're driving a petrol vehicle
05:11now this is the radar line so this is a petrol vehicle and I always recommend Indian oil because
05:18they have obviously I fill some of my cars with XP95 as well but regular fuel is also good now
05:25what happens is that some people I have seen that they will fill the tank up to the brim now that
05:30is really not required and especially if the climate outside is really hot you are in some
05:35really really hot climate especially in India during peak summers what happens is that the if
05:40you fill it to the brim obviously there is a valve on the cap that goes on top but if you don't have
05:47that what happens when the car moves the there is gas that has been created because of the movement
05:53and because of the heat and it needs to escape now obviously nothing will happen but I mean the fuel
05:59pump will come under load and is that is the time when you have to just put in your if you're going
06:05for a full tank what you can do is just tell them to fill it till your first cut so whenever the cut
06:12happens you should know that obviously your tank is full little more than that is fine but I have
06:17seen many people just shake the car and until it just starts overflowing well that is really really
06:23not necessary so yeah fuel and also you should notice that the density of petrol since we're
06:29talking about a petrol car I'll be telling you that the density of petrol should be between 710
06:34and 790 now the pump that I fill in usually has around 739 so it is nice if you go on a hill
06:42station obviously density will be slightly higher and a higher density is always better it should
06:47not go below the recommended lower density that is 710. Also the fourth tip is when you are leaving
06:55for a road trip so first thing before leaving or a day before that you should do one thing you should
07:01open your hood and you should take out the dipstick and while you're taking out the dipstick
07:05you should be careful you should have a cloth wipe the dipstick completely dip it back again
07:09and take out and see if your oil level that is the engine oil level is up to the recommended mark
07:15now sometimes what happens that we don't usually there is some sort of leak where people slightly
07:21neglect it it is not physically visible to the eyes but it is happening on the inside or maybe
07:27some engine oil is burning due to some wear and tear and that is when you will have a little less
07:32level on the dipstick and that is when you should either refill it or and first thing is you should
07:38go get your car checked if not if you're in a hurry then you should definitely carry some oil
07:44in reserve and you should top it up other than that if you are going for a long trip again a
07:49recommended thing is that you should get your air filter checked once engine air filter is because
07:56if you're going on a highway and for example if you are doing a service and 10,000 kilometers
08:01now what will happen is that if you have already driven five to six thousand kilometers if you've
08:05driven through dusty environment and some roads that have a lot of dust and debris now there is a
08:11possibility that obviously your air filter might be slightly clogged so the best thing is before
08:15you go to a road trip is either take it out best way is to get a pressurized air pressurized gun
08:20and just just blow air on it so that the dust whatever dust is there can just come out other
08:27than that if you don't have a air gun you can slightly tap it either on the wall or on the
08:31floor a flat surface a clean surface and you will see that some amount of dust will fall off and when
08:36you do that that is when your air filter will be slightly more cleaner giving you a better fuel
08:42efficiency because obviously a better airflow means slightly more power and better fuel efficiency so
08:48you will have a advantage if you're going on a road trip if you do all of that a few tips to
08:57end the video is that you should always carry like a very clean cloth over here like you see
09:02this is like a microfiber cloth and you should generally have this not to clean the outside of
09:07the car but to clean the windscreens because sometimes as I mentioned your wiper fluid
09:12might not clean the entire windshield so you should have a nice cloth where you can just
09:16just put some water on it and you can wipe it yourself obviously if you have a nice cloth you
09:21don't want to spoil it and clean the mud off the body you should have a separate cloth for that
09:25but visibility wise you should have a cloth maybe there is fogging inside so you should
09:29have a clean cloth where you can clean the windshield or the IRVM from inside or the ORVMs
09:34if the visibility is less so next time when you're going for a road trip you should definitely check
09:39these things out and I think before going to a road trip it is very necessary to thoroughly
09:45check up your vehicles and I also forgot to mention one thing you should definitely check
09:49out your lights once headlights taillights indicators everything should be working so
09:55whenever you're going for a next road trip you should please check all of this before you do
09:59that and you will have a safe and lovely road trip I hope you enjoyed this video if you liked
