Hi Emma, ​​how are you?
Hi, I am Fine, Thank you.

As a female racer that focuses on safety. What's the ultimate in driving safety?
Most importantly we know how to take care of vehicles and matters concerning road safety. If both of these are met, I believe everyone can drive well.

What should be considered in the care of the car?
Engine, tires, and so forth. Most women, tend not to pay attention to the machines because they are less interested in the affairs under the hood of the car, the tire business, and so forth.

How should she respond?
We need more frequent attention to the engine. Then we have to choose or if already teranjur buy a car, a car equipped with safety features that fit your budget.

Safety features such as what is your ideal?
In general, today's cars already have a number of safety features like ABS Braking, airbags and electronic stability control. Well, these features became standard for driver safety. More audio luxurious and expensive accessories are additional features. Not useful for our protection from accidents.

And what an ideal car?
It is recommended to choose a car All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) is offered as Subaru. And choose a car according to our needs. For example, if our day-to-day in large cities, the big-engined cars is not the right choice.


What is the function of AWD?
Motion system with four-wheel-then four tires grip better and complete the safety features of cars owned.

What to watch on a car tire?
Ensure proper tire pressure (no less or more). Perform balancing (balancing) tires regularly. Less air pressure or excessive, will cause the car is not balanced / stable while driving. Buy the best quality tires. Remember the safety features and tire grip is very dependent on the quality of the tire.

There are other tips about safe driving?
Most women put a lot of stuff in the cabin. It is better if the car is clean of goods. If they are scattered all residents would be harmful to the cabin. Do not get used to hang clothes in the window or put a lot of stuff in the dashboard because they interfere with the driver's view.

Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you as far as "two seconds". If the car in front passes a 'boundary marker' or stakes, count 2 seconds (1.2.) And you also have to pass the limit sign or marker. If you pass the marker before you finish counting 2 seconds then you are driving a distance too close to the car in front of you. In case of rain or mengendarakan large vehicles, we use a count of 4 seconds (1.2.3.4.), Because the car needs more time to stop.


When driving at night?
First, Use the headlights with a state of full, so the driver can see the road ahead as far as possible. Second, do not drive a vehicle at high speed so that if there is something to be avoided we can react quickly to avoid it. And third, be wary of people or animals crossing.

The steering wheel like the dots hour. Align your hands. The left hand is positioned parallel to the 9 o'clock and right hand parallel to the 3 o'clock. So that our hands will not prevent the airbag inflates. Try to always look ahead as far as possible. And if we know there is a potential danger or accident situations, always trying to quickly find loopholes in order to avoid accidents. Do not ever focused on vehicles that disturb and threaten our car.

There's the last thing to say?
Enjoy it while driving. The car is something beautiful and give us freedom, but we realize it or not, the car can also have external power (potential) to harm us.

Note the tire wear

Do not underestimate the tires are worn. The use of worn tires, in addition to endangering the safety of ourselves in the drive to endanger others. because the tires are worn to less than perfect braking and slippery when wet so the distance by road braking becomes more distant.

To avoid these undesirable things, then perhaps you should consider keausannya level.

As the tire wear indicator, check the depth of flow of the tires and noticed scratches on the side of the tire sidewalls are marked with a sort of lump TWI (Thread Wear Indicator) or the sign of Δ (triangle). If the surface is flat tire indicator, the tire marks had to be replaced.

Note also that there is damage to the tire, like a tear or cracks on the side of the tire. Small tear can make the tire easy to erupt.

Improper air pressure can also make the tires wear out, but not evenly. Wear and tear in the middle caused by wind pressure is too high because of the use of the center of the tread is excessive. Instead the pressure is too low resulting in wear and tear on both sides of the tire shoulder.

Car Tire Rotation Tips

In addition to treatment, rotate all four tires are a wise step to maintain durability. What and how tire rotation? Here's an explanation ...

Anything as good as if not rotated the tires will be faster performance decrease. Or at least, the tires on the axle - front and rear - are not functioning optimally. Uneven wear becomes the most logical thing whack. And predictably, the shorter the life of the tire.

"The rotation of the tires it is necessary, especially when it reaches kilomter 7500 to 10,000 kilometers. The goal for the keausannya evenly. However, tire rotation also do many things, "said Singgih Aji Wibowo, Senior Research & Development Manager PT Gajah Tunggal - GT Radial tire manufacturer.

According to the existing 2 Singgih tire rotation system. The first rotation using all four wheels. Second, the system is performed on all five tires, including spare.

4 TIRE ROTATION

The first system can be done by or diagonal line. For the diagonal way, to note the direction of replacement. In this system you need to do is swap the left front wheel to the right rear and right front tire with the left rear tire.

Further replacement of the system in line, in which the right front wheel in exchange move with the left front wheel. While the right rear tire to the rear left tire.

5 TIRE ROTATION

While the system is the way to the fifth tire is relatively similar to the way the diagonal. Spare tire mounted on the left rear, left rear tire then moved to the left front. Crosses the left front tire was moved to the right rear and right rear to right to move forward. And finally the front tire kananlah the spare tire.

Whatever system you apply, it is clear how to extend tire life and maximize function.

Fuel Pump Anti-clog by Karimun Club

Victims of poor quality Premium gasoline is increasing. Karimun Club Indonesia reported a number of cars owned by its members having problems on the fuel pump.

On August 25, 2010 seven members of the Karimun Club Indonesia car breaking down. The figure adds to the victims of the poor quality of Premium gasoline to a total of an 50-car.

KCI has taken a variety of ways, ranging from draining the fuel tank to form an emergency team. The team is equipped emergency kit in the form of portable tank / jerry cans of gasoline plus fuel pump. If there is a car breaking down the portable tank is installed and the 'cut' system of the original fuel pump so the car can run again up to the nearest garage KCI partners.

But the impact of quality problems Premium gasoline is terrible. There are several members of KCI which had broken fuel pump more than once, and some even have to make replacements for faulty fuel pump 4 times in 2 months!

This makes KCI think, whatever the content is not supposed to exist in the gasoline is very dangerous for the fuel pump manifold Karimun submersible electric fuel pump. KCI observed a broken fuel pump was only one month. Once disassembled, showing the wear of the commutator components, such as units that have been used for many years.

Finally, KCI led some members such as Ade Heru and Obelix, to experiment with modifying the system by applying the fuel pump manifold pump mechanical fuel pump, known as membrane systems for gas station Karimun classic car / box.

As is known, classical Karimun use the same engine type F10A Suzuki Carry 1000 and Katana / Jimny, which it still uses a membrane type fuel pump.

Thus, applying the fuel pump membrane KCI's Katana / Jimny (Figure 1) and make modifications to the fuel pump / filter assembly kit (Figure 2) that is in the tank car to bypass the in-tank fuel pump / filter because if not it will be inhibits the membrane pump suction fuel in the engine room.

The result is very good. Membrane fuel pump failed to provide an adequate supply of fuel to the engine carburetor F10A. KCI to test by running the engine to 7000 rpm without any problems. Several members of the KCI instead menggeber car up to speed 145 kph without symptoms 'mbrebet' at all.

In order for Strike At Car No Loss

Many feared the driver when a jam occurs. In addition to worry about running out of fuel, a looming nightmare when congestion is rising engine temperature, trigger the car broke down.

Well, to avoid excessive engine heat, one way to do is pay attention to the condition of the engine coolant (coolant) in the radiator.

Collant or commonly referred to as antipembekuan a result of liquid ethylene or propylene glycol mixtures and water. Usually the ratio of mineral substances that range from 50/50.

Should Replace Coolant?

Yes, this action is necessary because the use of coolant is too long causes the accumulation of sand. Too much sand can menurup cooling duct systems.

Why to Do?

In a certain phase, coolant quality can deteriorate due to heat and dirty environment. In addition, corrosion of the radiator guard could result in the deposition of dirt in the coolant.
What Happens When Not to Do?

Deposition of impurities that could potentially shut down the system too much cooling channels, thus causing the engine cooling flow uninterrupted. When this happens, the machine easy to heat and trigger a strike. If you have this, a series of crucial issues over the engine could occur. You certainly do not want to pocket a lot more to it.

How much Coolant Replacement Interval?

Check the coolant in futures. In the manual of how many vehicles are generally written coolant replacement interval.

However, there is the easiest way to find out his condition. Fairly good quality coolant when the engine when cold, the coolant level in the reserve tube does not exceed the minimum threshold line. Or, when the engine is hot, the coolant level is still below the maximum threshold.
