Everyone likes their car and wants to keep it in optimal condition for as long as they can. In addition to keeping them in good condition, people also add accessories and get their cars modified to enhance their aesthetic appeal. Apart from keeping the car in optimal condition, it is also important that your car has all essential safety features. Though, cars now come equipped with a lot of features to make driving more convenient and comfortable for the driver. Here are some features that you should check and consider when buying a car. If the car doesn't come equipped with these gadgets, you can purchase them from aftermarket sources as they are essential for driving in today’s world to avoid various kinds of challenges.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
A tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is equipped in cars to help monitor tyre pressure. TPMS works by placing small wireless sensors on wheels of the vehicle that then display the air-pressure in each tyre either on the digital instrument cluster or on the head-up-display that is available as a feature in premium cars. TPMS helps in avoiding mishaps as you can always be aware of the air-pressure in your cars.
Dash Camera
Dash Cameras have been a crucial advancement in terms of safety features available in cars. Considering the rising instances of road accidents, installing a dash camera in your car helps in multiple ways like recording videos during accidents that can then be shared with insurance companies as evidence to support your claims. It can also be used to record videos during road trips for personal memories or documentation.
Jumper Cable
Jumper cables can be extremely helpful in situations where your car stops working due to a battery issue. You can use the jumper cables to connect your vehicle's dead battery to another vehicle's working battery to transfer electrical power and then start your car.
Portable Tyre Inflator
A portable tire inflator is also a valuable tool to have in your car as it can prove to be helpful when you have a flat or punctured tire. You can connect the portable tire inflator to your vehicle's 12V power outlet and it will help you inflate the flat tire with air. You can then take your car to the nearest tire repair shop or service station. This can save you from being stranded and provide an easy solution for flat tyres.
