Handling Car in Emergencies

There are some things happening that are troublesome , and a barrier when traveling by car while on vacation . Although efforts have been made ​​to anticipate checking , but alas that " apes " attack . Here are some emergencies that often occur and sometimes cause accidents , especially if not properly anticipated .
Here are some precaution submitted Alvin Bahar , national car racer and Teddy Djamal , Chief Mechanical Performance SS , when an emergency occurs while driving .


Loose Brake
This condition usually occurs due to several things, including leaking brake fluid circuit , false air ( no air in the brake circuit due to thermal expansion ) and the fluid temperature rises .

Anticipation First , shake the brakes at least 3 times . Also assisted with the parking brake up to 50 percent . If it does not cause the reduced rate , the next step lower gear sequentially to the lowest position .


Tire explodes
First , do not panic ! Hold the steering wheel stronger , keep the car straight direction . Do not immediately make a sudden deceleration or braking , for example, immediately freeing the gas pedal and brakes . Experience the first taste of the biggest sources of wobble where ( front / rear ) to determine which tire burst .

If the rupture front , steps to be taken should be extra careful . Reduce speed to liberate the gas pedal slowly and gradually . The goal is that the transfer does not happen by extreme weight forward . Next, activate the parking brake gradually to help reduce speed . "At least , when the speed of 40 kph, the new car marginalized , " Said Alvin .

When the rear tire burst , to slow the pace of the car can be done more quickly by directly removing the gas pedal and braking . Do not forget the turn signal when to change lanes .


Overheat
Usually occurs when a prolonged standstill condition . Beginning with the advent ngelitik ( knocking) the excess on the machine . For those who use the indicator needle will usually seen an increase in temperature . While taking the picture , the machine will instantly die when overheated .

If that happens , immediately pull over the car to a safe place , attach the safety triangle bit away from the car . Wait a few minutes until the engine temperature drops , can be assisted by flushing water in the radiator if sufficient . Once cool , check the condition of the water . Caution , when opening the radiator cap , also use a thick cloth ( if the cap is still hot ) and turn slowly . If there is water pressure , pressure radiator cap while playing slowly . If the volume is already open and it is still full of water , close the radiator and if the temperature is normal , take the car to the nearest garage .
