When your car has stopped and you’re about to shift into “P” gear, you have to step on the brake and shift into “N” gear first. After that, lift your foot off the foot brake and shift into “P” gear”. This is to protect the gearbox.
2) Keep it serviced on time
You should always stick to the recommended service intervals. Usually, it is performed every 10,000km or once in 6 months. A well-maintained car will last longer, have better performance and it will also be more fuel-efficient.
3) Warm up your car before using it
The most damage is caused when you start the engine from cold. Before you drive your car, make sure that the blue temperature icon in front of you is no longer there.
4) Don’t slam your car doors
Slamming car doors is common and some people do it unconsciously. But what they don’t know is the damage that can be caused by slamming doors. It can wear down the door’s hinges and cause the inside of the car to be loose.
5) To always recite your prayer before your journey
Before starting your journey, you should always recite your prayer so that you will be protected throughout your time in your car.
