Undas, also known as All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, is a special time for families to gather, honor loved ones, and reconnect with their roots. As many Filipinos prepare to travel to the provinces, it’s natural to look forward to meaningful reunions and memories. To ensure that your trip is filled with joy rather than worries, Prestone®, the #1 Brake Fluid and #1 Coolant in the Philippines, encourages everyone to prioritize vehicle safety and proper maintenance. With a little preparation, you can make your journey as safe and pleasant as possible.
Here are some common road safety tips and preventive measures to help you enjoy your Undas trip worry-free—from tire care to coolant protection—so you arrive relaxed and ready to celebrate with your loved ones.
Be Prepared with Simple Preventive Checks
1. Tire Care for a Smooth Ride
Before hitting the road, give your tires a quick inspection. Properly inflated tires not only improve fuel efficiency but also reduce the risk of flats or blowouts. Remember to bring a spare tire, jack, and tools—just in case. A simple check can save you from unexpected roadside stops and keep your schedule on track.
2. Battery Health for a Stress-Free Start
Long weekends and infrequent use can drain your car’s battery. Ensure it’s in tip-top shape by having it checked and cleaned of any corrosion. Turning off lights and accessories when parked helps extend battery life. A well-maintained battery means your car will start easily, giving you peace of mind for your journey.
3. Brake Safety for Peace of Mind
Your brakes are your best friend on busy highways. Make sure they’re responsive by scheduling a quick check-up, especially if your brake fluid is old or if you notice any squealing or softness. Proper brake maintenance guarantees safe stopping power, making your trip safer for everyone.
4. Engine Coolant for a Cool and Comfortable Drive
Engine overheating can put a damper on your trip. Use Prestone Coolant Ready To Use, formulated with 5X Superior Cooling Protection, to keep your engine running smoothly. It protects against rust, corrosion, and boilover—so your engine stays cool, even during long drives.
