The 'car-destroying' habits of many Vietnamese drivers

Poor maintenance, ignoring warning lights, changing gears while driving... are habits that damage the car and engine of many Vietnamese drivers.

No matter how new or expensive your car is, if the driver does not have proper usage habits, it will reduce the car's lifespan and increase repair costs.

Neglecting regular maintenance: Many people are too busy with work or see that their car is still running smoothly, without any damage, so they neglect it and do not maintain the car regularly. After a certain distance, the manufacturer often recommends that customers bring their car for regular maintenance to ensure that all parts are always in the best working condition, at least the types of solutions on the car such as coolant, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, air filter...

Customers should bring their vehicles for regular maintenance to ensure all parts are always in the best working condition.

Ignoring the warning lights: The warning lights on the dashboard do not come on by themselves, there is definitely something wrong with the car, but many drivers think it is normal. Some small signs due to the system, due to driver error, can be self-corrected if the cause is known. But there are errors that greatly affect the car, such as if the cooling system leaks, the engine is not optimally cooled and becomes overheated. These errors will be greatly limited if the car owner regularly maintains it.

If the light suddenly comes on while you are driving, it means something is wrong with your car.

There are errors that greatly affect the vehicle, for example if the cooling system leaks, the engine is not optimally cooled and becomes overheated. If not serviced promptly, it can cause a fire or explosion.

Shifting while running:The transmission system is one of the most complex and expensive parts of a car, so if something goes wrong it will cost the owner a lot of money. In fact, cases of accidentally or intentionally shifting the gear lever into reverse while the car is still moving (even very slowly) mainly happen to new drivers, but "old" drivers also need to pay attention to avoid bad situations.

Do not automatically change gears or brake suddenly.

Do not automatically change gears or brake suddenly unless there is any danger such as suddenly encountering black or red or obstacles. Because it will cause the engine, transmission and especially the braking system to deteriorate quickly. Some consequences of this driving style are obvious oil leaks, broken welds, joints or rapid mechanical wear.

No tire change:It is also important to change the tire if there is a problem to avoid tire damage or tire explosion while on the road. Many people think that cars with 4 tires make the vehicle balanced and safe, not easy to fall over like motorbikes, so they do not appreciate the quality of the tires. With tires that are too worn, the vehicle can easily encounter risks such as tire explosions and loss of grip on slippery roads. Therefore, drivers should pay attention to checking the tire surface periodically to ensure the best quality.

Replace the tire if there is a problem to avoid tire damage or tire explosion while on the road.

Lazy to use handbrake:The handbrake is essential, but many people forget it. If you stop your car on a slope, or even on flat ground, without using the handbrake, you will put all the weight of the car on the transmission. In the transmission, there is only one small pin that helps keep the car stationary. So by using the handbrake, you will contribute to maintaining the life of the transmission. However, remember to release the brake when starting to drive again.

Wash the engine with high pressure water spray:Keeping your car clean is a good habit, but spraying high-pressure water into the engine is a mistake. The strong water spray will wash away dirt, but it will also cause many important car parts, accessories, and spare parts to loosen or pop out.

Spraying water too hard can also damage the car.

Run until out of gas:Although using gasoline while driving will reduce the weight of the vehicle, helping to save fuel, but letting it run out of gas is a taboo. Driving until the fuel runs out will stir up the dirt at the bottom of the tank, leading to a clogged fuel filter. This will affect the fuel supply to the engine and affect the working condition and life of the engine. To limit the vehicle from running out of gas, drivers should proactively pay attention to the fuel level and refuel when the fuel needle reaches the limit line. Refueling when there is 1/4 tank left is useful advice for you to have a durable, fuel-efficient vehicle.../.
