The Most Common Mistakes Car Owners Make

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Today, with the help of this video, you will learn which mistakes to avoid to make your car last longer. First, we have the failure to adjust the rear-view mirrors; proper adjustment can assist with parking manoeuvres and overtaking. Second, driving with under-inflated tyres can not only cause accidents but will also permanently damage the alloy wheel. Third, driving with an empty fuel tank can lead to fuel pump failures if not filled in time. Fourth, lifting the vehicle with a jack at the wrong points; the jack should always be positioned near the wheel and never at the centre. Fifth, cleaning the headlights, bodywork, and windows without using liquids can cause micro-scratches that will damage the bodywork and more. Sixth, adding keys and accessories to the car keyring can become a burden for the ignition socket. Seventh, ignoring battery issues. Eighth, omitting to check the pressure of the spare tyre.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level.
