Car warning lights Blog
Our vehicles' dashboard or instrument panel has become more complex over recent years and is a highly technical source of information for the driver.
While once it contained simple gauges and a few lights, modern-day vehicles utilise the instrument panel to alert the vehicle's driver to many different situations; hence, what was once a relatively simple piece of equipment is now quite complex.
One particular area of the instrument panel is its warning light functions, these are designed to alert the driver of situations that require attention.
They usually fall into one of these three areas
Low gas pressure is the most common reason the AC system fails to operate.
The most common diesels we encountered when I grew up were trucks and buses with a few 4WD vehicles sporting diesel engines.
They were used in these vehicles because of cheaper running costs and the tremendous amount of power they will produce at low revs.
Over recent years they have also been included in passenger vehicle options, with many people changing from traditional petrol-powered vehicles to Diesel-powered versions.
At Future Auto Service Centres, our technicians are thoroughly trained in diesel servicing, upgrading, and repairs to ensure we can provide our clients with the best service and advice for their diesel vehicle based on how it is used and what the owner requires.
The tyres play a critical role in your vehicles safety, with little more than a hand size amount of tread per tyre making contact with the road surface at any given time. This is critical for cornering, Steering, acceleration and braking, so your vehicles tyres must be in a good condition.
Good tyre tread becomes even more critical on wet roads
The tyre tread is designed to disperse water from the tyre's contact area, allowing the tyre to grip the road and perform as anticipated for the driver.
Without good tyre tread in wet conditions, the driver will have difficulty in accelerating and cornering.
More importantly, the Tyre tread is responsible for ultimately stopping your vehicle when braking; the brake system can be operating fine, but if you don't have good tread contact with the road, the car can just simply glide on the road surface when you need it to stop.
We all love the feel of a vehicle that is performing well; you put your foot on the accelerator, and the whole car responds beautifully.
Even more important than the power provided, is the cars ability to handle correctly at all speeds.
The vehicle's suspension system plays a crucial role in safe motoring.
A sound suspension system ensures the tyres are making correct contact with the road surface, Steering stability and positive handling at all speeds, and Comfort to the passengers because the complete body engine and drivetrain are supported correctly (absorbing road bumps and shocks)
The suspension system has to withstand all the stress placed on a vehicle in its daily operation and provide safety for all of the passengers.
