During the rainy season we want your trip with Rioja Rent A Car to be safe, follow these tips to fully enjoy that adventure without interruptions.
Tires:
Check that there is no wear and that the tire pressure is adequate. During the rainy season, tires come into contact with other elements such as oil and dust that can make traction difficult. Tires in good condition maintain uniform grip on the road, thus avoiding possible skidding.
Brakes:
When checking the brakes, the following must be taken into account: fluid levels, wear of the pads and discs to know if it is necessary to replace them. A good brake cleaning also optimizes their operation.
Lights:
Correct headlight leveling increases visibility and don’t forget to also check the rear lights. Lights in good condition improve the driver’s field of vision and allow the vehicle to be seen by pedestrians and other vehicles.
Wiper washer:
Make sure that both blades are in good condition and that they completely remove water from the windshield. Also, verify that the liquid reservoir is full. Before leaving, it doesn’t hurt to wash the windshield to remove any excess grease that may hinder our visibility.
Preventive Maintenance:
To avoid failures, it is essential to provide our vehicle with preventive and progressive maintenance. It is essential to be aware of the care we have given to avoid any eventuality.
Other tips
It goes without saying that it is advisable to reinforce good driving habits such as avoiding driving at high speeds, being aware of wet surfaces, keeping your distance and being well focused on the road.
