Electrical

The electrical system makes the vehicle drive more safely and the interior more comfortable.

If it is broken, it may be dangerous to drive the vehicle. Therefore the maintenance is required

These are the maintenance items which are related to the electrical system.




Light

What is a light?

Each light is installed for nighttime driving visibility, to inform the driver of the surroundings and to ensure safety. Some lights are used for lighting the interior.

Importance of inspection/replacement of lights
  • Lights deteriorate with use, and the filament burns out.
  • If the turn signal light bulbs burn out, it becomes dangerous to change lanes or turn left or right.
  • If a brake light bulb is burnt out, there is danger of a rear-end collision
Bulb replacement
  • When one of the pair of light bulbs is blown, it is recommended to also replace the other at the same time because the other bulb is also approaching the end of its service life
  • Use the proper bulb because bulbs vary by wattage and by the place where they are used

Wiper & Washer

Importance of inspection/replacement for wiper rubber
  • The rubber inserts in the wipers scrape against the windshield to wipe the water off the surface. These gradually wear over time.
  • When scratches are created on the rubber inserts by the fine sand or dust particles that adhere to the windshield, they leave wiping lines on the windshield
Freezing point of the fluid

If the fluid is only water, the washer fluid freezes when the air temperature reaches below 0 degree Celcius.

Even if washer fluid is added, it freezes when the temperature is lower than its freezing point. Therefore use the proper washer fluid and the proper concentration for each climate

Inspection interval
