Preventive review should be made in specialized workshops
It is time for school holidays, when many families take road, either to the coast or inland. The IQA - Institute for Quality Automotive alert drivers to simple safety measures that can prevent some headaches caused most often by imprudence.
First of all, it is essential to take the vehicle to a precautionary review, which involves checking brakes, suspension, alignment, tires, steppe, injection system, battery, fluid levels, headlights and taillights. "Many problems arise from lack of maintenance," said Sergio Fabiano, Automotive Service Manager IQA.
One recommendation is to review in a workshop that has the Quality Seal IQA. "Just as you can rely on companies with ISO certification, machine shops have similar standard. While not mandatory, certification is security tool for the consumer because it shows the quality of services, "said Sergio Fabiano.
The mechanical engineer also points out that the seat belt should be used by all passengers. "When you use the seat belt in the back seat, their chance of survival increases by 75%," he explains.
Another precaution is to maintain a safe distance from the air bag: 40 cm to 25 passengers and the driver. What's more, if the car has air bags and the driver is not wearing a seat belt, all developed security is not applied properly. "The vehicles are designed to have fired together," he explains.
At the time of storing luggage, nothing should be placed on the trunk cap. Any loose object can be thrown against the dashboard or the occupants. "If a seven kilograms object is released and the car hits 80 km / h, the relative weight of the object will increase 50 times, or 350 kilograms shall be cast out," explains Sergio Fabiano.
