Car Care Tips for Rainy Season: Monsoon is moving northwards from the southern part of India. It has covered most parts of Maharashtra. It is expected to enter the national capital Delhi and the surrounding states in the next two weeks. In the monsoon rain, most car owners like to go on long drives at night with their favorite songs and enjoy the rain. In the rain, problems like moisture in the car engine, lighting and electrical parts not working properly due to water entering, may be faced. To ensure that the journey from home to enjoy the rain does not turn out to be a failure, preparations should be made in advance. It is important to take care of the vehicles before the monsoon rains arrive. Let us know how to take care of the car during the rainy season.
Pay attention to brake inspection and servicing
During the rainy season, when the roads become wet, the role of your car’s brakes becomes very important. To avoid any kind of accident, it is important that your car’s brakes remain in perfect condition. Even if it is not time for servicing your car, you should still get it checked once by going to the nearest mechanic or service center. Make sure that your car’s brake caliper is not too loose or too tight.

Pay attention to the tyres too
Most of the accidents that happen during the monsoon season are due to car skidding or aquaplaning. So, make sure that the tyre tread depth is more than 2mm, else you may face problems and it may also affect your braking. The best way to check your car tyres is to insert a coin and check if half of the coin is inside the car tyre. Also, make sure that the tyre pressure is at the proper point.
check the car lights
This is very important for your safety as well as that of others. Properly functioning headlights, tail-lights, fog lights and turn signals are important all year round but they should be given a little more attention during the monsoon season. Cloudy weather and heavy rain can make your visibility difficult.

replace old wiper blades
This is very important but still it is often ignored. Proper and good quality wiper blades are necessary to avoid any kind of problem in the rain. It is necessary to pay special attention to this according to Indian roads.
Checking the battery and wiring
To avoid any short circuit or battery problems, check your car’s battery before heading out in the monsoon. Also, check that all wires and fuse elements are properly insulated.
Cover your car
If you keep your car in the open, it is important to cover it with a waterproof car cover. Rainwater can damage your car’s expensive paint job and even damage the rubber seals around panels like the sunroof. Monsoons in India are very unpredictable. Therefore, it is important to be prepared for any upcoming problems. It is advisable to keep things like fuses, basic tools and a medical kit handy.
