What accessories should be installed in new cars to support safe driving?
Below are some accessories that new car owners should install if the car is not already equipped to ensure safety for every trip.
Rear camera or 360 degree camera
Although there are rearview mirrors, each car has certain blind spots, making it dangerous to drive because it is difficult for the driver to see. Therefore, rearview cameras or 360-degree cameras are often chosen by new car buyers to equip their cars.
With "observation eyes" installed around the car, the rear camera or 360-degree camera displays images to help the driver observe more easily when reversing, parking or turning in tight areas.
Reverse sensor
This equipment supports the driver quite effectively with sensors placed at the back of the car. The system will beep quickly or slowly depending on the distance to the obstacle, helping the driver avoid unwanted collisions.
Dash cam
With the current complicated traffic situation, dash cams are a popular accessory chosen to be installed on new cars. This product has the function of recording journey documents, thereby helping drivers have more images and documents when participating in traffic, especially useful in unfortunate collision situations. This is also an accessory that helps car users have more evidence to provide to authorities in monitoring and handling traffic violations.
With the development of technology, many types of dash cams are now integrated with additional functions such as traffic warnings, traffic sign reminders, speed limits, and even integrated navigation. Most car models distributed on the market do not have dash cams available, so many new car buyers consider this accessory a necessary equipment in the car.
Currently, the dash cam market is quite diverse in terms of models, types and prices. Buyers should choose reputable brands with reasonable warranty policies and ensure that the installation is in its original state and does not interfere with the structure of the vehicle.
Tire pressure sensor
Along with the camera, tire pressure sensors are also accessories that need to be installed on new cars. Many car models today also have tire pressure sensor systems, however some versions of class A and class B cars are often not equipped.
Tires are an important part of a car, so to monitor the operating status, tire pressure is also essential for the driver to feel secure on every journey. Installing tire pressure sensors will help the driver always know the pressure and temperature changes of each tire when operating.
Currently, tire pressure sensors are divided into many types, the most popular of which are the internal valve and external valve types with a screen that clearly displays the pressure index of each tire. This accessory is usually priced at 1 - 4 million VND depending on the model and brand.
Mini tire pump
This is a very useful accessory with its compact size, easy to use, and full display of information to help drivers inflate their tires according to the manufacturer's instructions or handle the situation when the tire is deflated on the road. The price of a mini pump is about 500,000 VND.
