We found out what are the most common and fatal mistakes that drivers make when using a car - car mechanics say that you should NEVER do this with your vehicle!
Today's cars have a bunch of safety systems that prevent it from happening certain errors occurred - the main computer ensures that the systems work in harmony with each other and thus the driver is informed in time about any problems.
But there are a number of other things that I would had to pay attention when using a steel horse. There may be some errors fatal, so only drive the vehicle if you feel comfortable 100% ready and Mrs you know well.
NEVER do this to your car:
1. Do not turn off the engine while driving.
If you accidentally switch off the engine and don't drive at high speed in the meantime, nothing serious will supposedly happen to the car - the problem occurs at higher speeds, which can quickly lead to failure vital parts engine. Although today's cars have built-in systems that prevent the engine from shutting down while driving, it is recommended that you do not do this.
2. Do not shift into reverse gear while driving.
Even in this case, they exist security mechanisms, especially with automatic transmissions - in older cars, the technology is slightly outdated, so the transmission will be took off badly.
3. Do not shift the automatic transmission into neutral while driving.
For safety reasons, the computer will also prevent this move - otherwise, nothing will happen to the car at that moment, but since the gearbox sends incorrect and contradictory information to the computer, after a while it may happen malfunctions computer. It fixed it dear and you don't want it.
4. Do not attach too many keys/keys around the car ignition key.
A 'bunch' of keys and pendants around your car's ignition key is not a good idea - it can add too much weight. Since the lock will be under constant stress, it may eventually occur ignition mechanism malfunctions. In addition to the ignition key, keep only the essentials on the pendant.
5. Make sure to change the oil regularly.
The manufacturer's oil change recommendation is given for a reason - if you want your engine to have a long life, you should not skimp on oil changes. This is especially true for new cars, as in many cases they are only filled with the minimum required amount of oil when they arrive from the factory. In this case, it is best to change the oil after the first ones 1000 kilometers.
6. Do not overfill liquids.
For oil, you have a stick at your disposal with which you can check the oil level in the engine - it must not be too much or too little. The same applies to other liquids that have a recommended amount marked on the containers. Exaggeration can be just like that it harms the car as if the fluid is low.
7. Do not add fuel until the fuel tank is almost completely empty.
Even when using the best fuel, it can still happen that there are some small particles in it, which due to gravity they land at the bottom of the fuel tank. If you drive 'on fumes', these particles will be sucked out of the fuel tank and become like this found in your engine.
Best practice is to refuel when you have a quarter left in the tank. The pumps, which are responsible for pumping fuel from the tank to the engine, work best when they are completely submerged in the fuel and are therefore less likely to break down.
8. Don't ignore the warning lights.
Not all manufacturers use the same warning lights, but their colors are more or less standardized – blue or green they mean that some system is activated and in operation. Yellow warns you that a certain part is required review or to fix, Red it means a more serious breakdown, for which it is necessary to stop as soon as possible, because the car may no longer be safe to drive.
The service computer will give you more information about what needs to be done, but keep in mind that the warning lights should not never to ignore and it is necessary the fastest visit a repair shop. It's about your safety!
9. Check the tire pressure.
Take a few minutes every now and then to check your tire pressure. If you feel like your tire is flat, chances are that it has been happening for some time and the air is slowly leaking out of it - driving with under-inflated tires is considered unsafe and is not recommended by car mechanics.
In addition to the fact that a flat tire can cause a fatal accident, low tire pressure also affects faster and greater tire wear and can increases fuel consumption.
10. Check the chassis settings.
Everyone has hit a curb while driving - the higher the speed, the greater the impact it can have on the alignment of the wheels or any other components in the chassis. In this case, it is recommended to take the car to an optician, where they will take the necessary chassis measurements. If the wheels are not properly aligned, it will affect the steering, which will no longer be as accurate as you are used to.
