Essential Monsoon Car Care: 7 Pro Tips from Certified Technicians

Preparing Your Vehicle for Torrential Rains

The Indian monsoon brings welcome relief from scorching summers, but it also poses unique hazards for drivers. Reduced braking traction, sudden zero-visibility squalls, and deep puddles can catch even seasoned drivers off guard.

Our master technicians have compiled these 7 indispensable steps to ensure hassle-free monsoon motoring.

• Check tire tread depth — maintain at least 2.5 mm to avoid dangerous aquaplaning.
• Inspect and replace hardened wiper blades for a streak-free windshield.
• Apply an anti-rust underbody coat to shield the floorboard against dampness and salt.
• Check electrical wiring seals and apply dielectric grease on battery terminals.
• Ensure AC cabin air filter is clean to prevent foggy windshields and mildew odors.
• Clean headlight and taillight lenses for maximum visibility in dark cloudbursts.
• Never drive through water deeper than half of your wheel rim diameter.
