Extreme weather puts extra stress on your vehicle. In regions with intense heat and heavy rainfall, like much of Indonesia, specific maintenance is required to ensure reliability and safety.
For the hot season, your engine’s cooling system is the top priority. Ensure your coolant level is correct and that the fluid is in good condition. A cooling system flush can remove rust and sediment that hinder performance. Have your radiator and cooling fans inspected to ensure they are functioning properly. The heat also puts a strain on your battery, so have its charge and condition checked. Inside, test your air conditioning system before the heat becomes unbearable.
For the rainy season, focus on visibility and grip. Replace old or streaking windshield wiper blades to ensure a clear view during downpours. Top off your windshield washer fluid. Most importantly, check your tire tread. Worn tires are extremely dangerous on wet roads as they are prone to hydroplaning. Ensure your headlights are clear and bright so other drivers can see you through the rain.
