Expert advice to keep your vehicle running smoothly
How to Maintain Your Car Battery in Delhi's Heat
Delhi summers can push temperatures above 45°C, which accelerates battery fluid evaporation and chemical degradation.
1. Check battery terminals monthly for corrosion - clean with baking soda solution.
2. Ensure electrolyte levels are topped up (for non-sealed batteries).
3. Park in shade whenever possible to reduce heat exposure.
4. Get your battery tested before summer starts - replace if older than 3 years.
5. Keep connections tight and clean for optimal charging.
Monsoon Driving Safety Tips for Delhi NCR
Delhi monsoons bring waterlogging, reduced visibility, and slippery roads. Here are essential safety tips:
1. Check wipers and replace if streaking - visibility is critical in heavy rain.
2. Avoid waterlogged roads - even 6 inches of standing water can stall your engine.
3. Maintain safe following distance - braking distance doubles on wet roads.
4. Turn on headlights (not hazards) in rain for visibility.
5. Check tyre tread depth - minimum 1.6mm for safe water dispersal.
6. Keep emergency numbers saved - call Harish Car Helpline at 99586 28182 if stranded.
When to Replace Your Car Tyres: A Complete Guide
Worn tyres are a major safety hazard, especially in Delhi's congested traffic. Here's when to replace:
1. Tread depth below 1.6mm - use the coin test (insert a coin in the groove).
2. Visible cracks, bulges, or blisters on sidewalls indicate structural damage.
3. Uneven wear patterns suggest alignment or suspension issues.
4. Tyres older than 5 years should be inspected regardless of appearance.
5. If you feel vibrations while driving, get tyres balanced immediately.
Pro tip: Rotate tyres every 10,000 km for even wear distribution.
What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down on a Highway
Breaking down on NH-24, the expressway, or any busy road can be dangerous. Follow these steps:
1. Turn on hazard lights immediately and move to the left shoulder if possible.
2. Place warning triangle 50 meters behind your vehicle.
3. Do NOT stand behind or in front of your vehicle.
4. Call for help - Harish Car Helpline is available 24/7 at 99586 28182.
