Get ready, and in your car, for Spring

Prepare-se, e ao seu automóvel, para a Primavera

All the seasons of the year have their specificities and their challenges, for themselves and, of course, for their daily companions of two, four or more days. So that safety is always an integral part of each stage, of each journey in your life, follow the advice of Help Flash and take advantage of the best spring.

Moving season, spring marks the end of the most pronounced period of cold weather, low temperatures and two shortest days, but it is not at all "issent" from increased care.

To begin, after a winter that becomes harsh, do a deep cleaning of the interior and exterior of your car. Not only for an aesthetic quest, but to eliminate accumulated waste (folhas, lama, terra...) next to the floor and, not outside, in the most hidden areas of the car and the wheeled cellars. You should also devote extra attention to:

  • Tires - Winter is particularly hard on tires, not only because of the low temperatures, but also the noise and obstacles they face. Make sure that the floor is in good condition and that there are no cuts that expose fabrics or that could compromise safety.
  • Condition of the brushes – After more intense use and subject to lower temperatures, the brushes will recover.
  • Battery status – Cold and humid conditions are not present on the batteries. These are only subject to “forced work” in winter, with the number of comfort aids that depend on their state.
  • State of the lights and lights – A condensation in the interior of the lights and lights, the projection of objects or any episode of water entry causes premature degradation of both lights. Check that the lighting does not lose effectiveness.
  • The cabin air filter protects occupants from dust and pollens, a “scourge” for many drivers that causes recurring allergies. Replacing it is not very wasteful and can do miracles.
  • Now take advantage of a review of the condition and, if necessary, reload it.
  • Finally, as an increase in temperature, rear view or cooling system of your car. Be alert for coolant leaks (through the radiator or tubes) and make sure the vent is operational.

And now all that remains is to take advantage of the good time, appreciate the changes we take in the core of nature and spend two longer and sunny days. But there is no need to keep your Help Flash in the glass holder, because even the days are longer – and with greater luminosity – the Help Flash continues to be visible.
