YOUR CAR SPEAKS

Driving can be pleasurable, fun and useful in running our day-to-day activities. But of course your car can fail you!

One of the worst experiences a driver would face when his car breaks down on the way is inability to explain what has gone wrong with the car. Usually, in such a situation of sudden breakdown the first thing the driver does is to pick up his phone and call his mechanic. Then comes the mechanic’s myriad of questions – “Where sir?” “What happened sir?” “Did it show you any danger signs?” Etc.

 

You probably will say, “No, everything was alright when I took off the journey”. This is indeed far from the truth. Like humans, your car actually speaks to you any time it begins to develop a fault. A careful driver can easily detect such symptoms, as it were, by simply understanding his car’s body language.

A number of warning signals manifest in automobiles to show impending abnormalities in the working of the system.  Like the five senses in humans, these signals are perceived through feeling, vision, sound, and smell. The fifth sense is the inbuilt sensors which the designers of automobiles have incorporated in the design process to help users detect malfunctioning of parts.

 

You can indeed understand your car's body language by carefully taking note of those signals manifested by the car whenever danger knocks at the door. From that you can tell the parts of the car to check on any time it “feels like”, “looks like”, “sounds like”, or “smells like” something is going wrong with the car.
 

The saying that prevention is better than cure most appropriately applies in the vehicular life such that understanding your car's body language is key in taking preventive measures to avert breakdown of vehicles. By so doing you will not only save yourself the embarrassing situation of getting stranded by your car. You will also save yourself a lot of costs in repairs as urgent detection and attention to faults in the car is like the proverbial stitch in time that saves nine.
