To avoid unexpected breakdowns or daily driving issues, it’s important to carry out routine inspections on your vehicle and its equipment. A few minutes of preventive care can help you drive confidently and safely.

Daily Inspection

Before you start your journey each day:

  • Open the hood and check your engine oil level.
  • Walk around the vehicle to inspect the tires, lights, and general condition.

External Checks

Take a quick walk around your car, beginning from the front left side, and look out for:

  • Exhaust pipe: Ensure it’s securely positioned and free from obstruction.
  • Tires: Check for proper tread depth, damage, and correct pressure—including the spare tire.
  • Bodywork: Inspect mirrors, bumpers, and panels for any visible damage.
  • Lights: Confirm that all headlights, indicators, and brake lights are working properly.

Internal Checks

Inside your car, make sure the following are in order:

  • Tool kit is available and complete.
  • Loose items in the cabin or trunk are properly secured.
  • Dashboard lights show no warning signals.
  • Fuel level is sufficient for your trip.

If you notice any major issues, visit a qualified RanaCars service technician before driving further.

Documents

Always ensure you have the following with you:

  • Vehicle registration
  • Insurance documents
  • Driver’s license and any travel permits

Confirm that these documents meet the requirements of your destination country or region. Passengers should also have their necessary identification or travel documents.

Regular Maintenance

Even if you haven’t covered many kilometers, your vehicle still needs periodic professional maintenance. Stick to your service schedule and ensure your car is checked by RanaCars experts every 6 months or 5,000 km, whichever comes first.

Make it a habit to perform these simple checks—it only takes a few minutes and helps ensure every journey is smooth, safe, and worry-free.
