Road Trip Checklist 

A well-prepared vehicle can make all the difference for your summer adventures. For total peace of mind, follow this checklist to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

Inspect Tires:

• Give each tire a visual inspection to ensure there is no visible damage or low tread depth. 
• For optimal performance and to prevent flats, check your tire pressure and inflate them to the recommended PSI found in your owner’s manual.

Test Lights and Other Electrical Equipment: 

• Check all of your vehicle’s lights, including headlights, brake lights, high beams, directional lights, and fog lights to ensure no bulbs are burnt out. 
• Test your car’s horn, windshield wipers, and air conditioning system so you are prepared for unexpected weather and potential hazards.

Replace Air Filters:

• Replace your cabin air filters to prevent dust and debris from entering the inside of your vehicle or the engine. This will help your air conditioning system work more efficiently, which is crucial in the summer heat. 

Top Off Fluids:

• Vehicles have six essential fluids: engine oil, radiator, brake, power steering, transmission, and windshield washer fluids. To avoid unwanted issues on the road, top off each fluid. 

Check The Brakes:

• Noisy brakes indicate worn-down brake pads, which can damage the braking system and increase the risk of an accident. Having your brakes professionally inspected will guarantee your vehicle is safe to travel a long distance. 

Test The Battery: 

• Your vehicle’s battery can be impacted by extreme temperatures. Getting it checked ensures that it will not die in the middle of your trip and leave you stranded.
