Rains have started across the country. In many states of the country including Assam and Bihar, people are also facing floods due to heavy rains. Keeping the vehicle safe and accurate during the rainy season is a bit difficult. Apart from floods and strong thunderstorms, your car can be damaged by many things. Here we are telling you how you can keep your car safe in the rain.
Avoid park in the open
The car should be avoided to park in the open as it is seen many times. Because many times the trees are broken due to the strong wind with rain and there is a possibility of damage to the trains. That is why do not park in the open or under the tree.
Cover the car
If your car is standing somewhere in the house where there is no shed on the car then it is very important that you keep the car covered. You can take bike cover from anywhere, it does not come very expensive.
Vehicle insurance is very important
Before renewing a motor insurance policy, ask the insurance company what are the add-on covers that may be beneficial for you. For example, if you are living in an area where there may be flooding, you can get additional insurance cover for the engine of your car. Zero Deprivation or Deprivation Shield is another add-on cover. Under this, the insurance company does not calculate depreciation at the time of claim and pays the parts of the vehicle at the market price.
Take care of tires
Prolonged standing in water can cause damage to tires. Sometimes even when the tires are old, water also goes into them, this can cause damage to the tires. In such a situation, it is important that you do not keep your car in a place where water is always full.
Do not let water in petrol tank
Many times it is seen that the lid of the petrol tank of the bike becomes slightly loose after some time and there is a problem of running water in the tank. To avoid this problem, correct the lid of the petrol tank. Because the water causes the bike to start and stop repeatedly.
Keep spark plugs safe
Due to the filling of water in the spark plug of the car, the problem starts in the car. To avoid this problem, it is important that your vehicle's spark plug is properly covered. If it is not or their cover is damaged, get it replaced immediately.
Keep the car clean
It is often seen that when we return after walking the car, there is mud or dirt in it. If this mud remains in the vehicle for a long time, then there is a risk of rust in the vehicle. If there is already rust in your car, then you can paint oil on that place.
Maintenance is very important
