automobile.it explains how to avoid unpleasant surprises when restarting!
The Covid-19 health emergency forced the whole of Italy to stop. Between restrictions and prohibitions, most families are forced to stay at home and to limit travel to the strict minimum, so too many cars are forced to rest in the garage or on the street.
But be careful not to underestimate this period of inactivity, potentially very harmful for four-wheeled vehicles. From battery to brakes, the parts to be monitored are different, for this automobile.it provided a series of tips for the correct maintenance of the car so as to be ready to go again, after the stop Coronavirus, without any problem.
The time has come to dust off the toolbox and turn car care into a sort of hobby. After all, these are small attentions which, however, prove to be fundamental for preserving the efficiency of the car.
The first thing to pay attention to is the battery: a long period of inactivity can in fact affect the power reserve. Make sure that there is no absorption that can discharge it, even small accessories left inserted can cause problems. Attention then to the classic advice to disconnect the battery, newer cars may have problems with electronic systems.
Easier to care for, but equally important, are the tires: here the problem is the possible deformation, since the weight of the car stopped on the same point as the tire could make it oval. Finally, other problems are related to the braking system – the discs may develop surface rust and the pads may adhere to it – and the bodywork: in this case the main enemies are trees and resin.
Here are the attentions thanks to which you can prepare your car to restart during phase two.
