As for those not celebrating this festive occasion, the holidays is also a great opportunity to visit places to let down our hair and recharge ourselves. But before setting off, there are a couple of checks and preparations for the vehicle. 1. Vital fluids This includes the engine oil, transmission oil, brake oil, radiator coolant, spare tank coolant, battery fluid and windscreen washer fluid. Top up if they are insufficient and fix any leaks in the system. 2. Service your vehicle if the next service interval is near Not only will this minimize chances of premature failure of the parts due, it is also possible for the service personnel to inspect the overall condition of your vehicle. Apart from the regular mechanics and authorized service centers, Puspakom has also joined the bandwagon by offering free inspection prior to the holidays. 3. Lights and electrics If you have a burnt bulb that’s yet to be replaced, now is the time to get it done. In fact, it is a good idea to spare a headlamp, signal and rear lamp bulb especially when one is not familiar with the destination area. 4. Windshield Wipers Each wipe should be clean with minimal amount of leftover water droplets. Do consider cleaning them from grime and oil regularly. 5. Check all wheels, the spare and tire replacement tools Ensure air pressure is sufficient as a deflated tire will not only sacrifice grip but also affect fuel consumption due to increased rolling resistance. Have the wheels balanced and aligned if a wobbling or straying steering is felt. 6. Have a copy of your vehicle insurance policy cover This was advised by a friend handling vehicle damage claims. If the inevitable really happens, this cover could help clear a lot of doubts and provide important information. 7. Get enough rest prior to the drive Insufficient rest can easily lead to of loss of concentration. Taking turns to drive along the way is also an option particularly on highways with simple road signs and minimal distractions.

Berjalan Jika cuaca elok, berjalan di sekitar rumah sambil lihat pemandangan sekeliling memang menyeronokkan. Jika cuaca tidak mengizinkan, cuba berjalan naik turun tangga beberapa kali (pada masa sama boleh angkat turun barang lagi). Ini boleh menguatkan kaki dan lutut. Jika tiada tangga? Berjalan sahaja keliling dalam rumah, walaupun kurang seronok, tetapi masih berkesan 2. Mood uplifting Ini paling seronok, boleh ingat kembali memori zaman kanak-kanak. Lagipun siapa yang tidak pernah main lompat bintang kan? Jangan pelik, jumping jack adalah salah satu senaman kardio yang hebat, juga boleh jadi warm up juga. 3. Pushup/ pumping Senaman paling tidak disukai kan? Walaupun nampak susah, tetapi pushup boleh juga dilakukan dengan cara mudah. Tidak perlu cuba jadi macam atlet siap pushup guna sebelah tangan, buat sebagaimana yang anda mampu. Buat dengan lutut, berbanding luruskan kaki. Buat menegak menghadap dinding. Sesuai untuk meningkatkan kekuatan tangan, juga menguatkan bahagian sekitar dada. 4. Leg lifts/ apungan kaki Kuatkan kaki. Jika rasa susah untuk apungkan kaki, bengkokkan kaki sedikit. 5. Crunches/ tekan tubi Untuk kekuatan abdomen/ perut. Tidak perlu risau jika kepala tidak dapat naik habis, asalkan dapat naik/bangun dan anda dapat rasa tekanan pada bahagian perut, ini dah cukup bagus. 6. Jogging in place/ joging setempat Hebat untuk jantung. Boleh joging semasa menonton tv ataupun mendengar muzik. Jika ada pun alatan yang perlu, hanyalah sepasang kasut untuk mengelakkan kaki melecet/ tekanan pada kaki. 7. Squats Berkesan untuk kaki dan punggung. Jika rasa susah, juga boleh dilakukan dengan memegang hujung kerusi. Asalkan boleh buat berulang beberapa kali, dah cukup bagus untuk badan. 7. Angkat Berat Tidak perlu pergi kedai beli alat sukan mahal beli besi angkat berat mahupun dumbel. Guna sahaja apa-apa yang ada di rumah. Mulakan mengangkat barang-barang ringan, seperti setin air pepsi, sebelum pergi kepada barang yang lebih berat, sebekas (ada pemegang) pencuci lantai cecair saiz besar. 8. Menari Senaman yang menyeronokkan. Bahkan boleh meningkatkan emosi/ semangat juga. 9. Squats Berkesan untuk kaki dan punggung. Jika rasa susah, juga boleh dilakukan dengan memegang hujung kerusi. Asalkan boleh buat berulang beberapa kali, dah cukup bagus untuk badan. 10. Step exercises/ Berjalan setempat Senaman naik turun satu anak tangga. Boleh kuatkan otot kaki. Pastikan jangan tergelincir semasa melakukan senanam ini. Jika rasa kurang seronok, buatlah apa-apa gaya aerobik juga, asalkan naik turun terjadi.

SAFETY TIPS TIP Keselamatan Di lebuh Raya Rancang perjalanan berdasarkan jadual Cadangan Waktu Perjalanan (TTA) yang dikeluarkan oleh PLUS Pastikan kenderaan anda berada dalam keadaan baik sebelum memulakan perjalanan Pastikan kad PLUSMiles atau Touch ‘n Go anda mempunyai baki yang mencukupi untuk perjalanan anda Patuhi had laju yang ditetapkan Hormati had anda dan had kemampuan kenderaan anda Jangan memandu di lorong kecemasan kecuali diarahkan oleh Polis Jangan berhenti di lorong kecemasan kecuali berlaku kecemasan Jangan mengekori kenderaan di hadapan dengan terlalu rapat Tips to save fuel while you drive Thinking about how you can better your car’s fuel consumption? Here are four simple tips to get you on your way to getting more out of your petrol and pennies! 1. Regularly check your tyre pressure Keeping your tyres inflated is one of the most crucial things you should know for a better fuel consumption. Under-inflated tyres have more rolling resistance which means you need to burn more gas to keep your car moving. This will not only contribute to pollution, but will also increase fuel costs. Under-inflated tyres also make for longer stopping distances and can be very dangerous as they will have a higher tendency to skid on wet surfaces.

Slow down Did you know that speeding will add a surprising amount to your fuel cost? Maintain a steady speed using the highest gear possible. The most efficient speed is typically around 45- 50mph. Driving faster than this will greatly increase your fuel consumption. Try to stick to the speed limit and do not go over or under it. Driving slower, braking earlier and accelerating slowly will not only make you safer on the road, but it will also save you money. 3. Cut down the usage of air-conditioners It is undeniable that some countries like Malaysia, with low air humidity, it is oven-like to drive without having to turn on the air conditioners especially during hot weathers. The solution is easy. Use it only when you need it. For example, morning and night time have higher air humidity, which means the air temperature outside is more cooling than the temperature inside your car. So you can turn off the air-conditioner, roll down your window and enjoy the cool fresh air outside. By doing this, you are not only doing yourself a favour, but Mother Earth as well!

Travel light Take some time to clean up and remove any excess t items that are not necessary inside your car. This will be helpful especially on hill slopes where you will need to press for more gas to gain a steady speed. By travelling light, you will also be helping protect the environment, as the less fuel you burn, the fewer emissions your car will produce. 26 KEMBARA PLUS ONLINE JANUARI/FEBRUARI 2014
