Benefits of Inspection
1. Safety
We want every journey that you make to be a safe one. Inspecting your vehicle at least twice a year will ensure that it's safe to drive.
2. Confidence
After your vehicle has passed an inspection, you can drive assured and confident that it's fit for the road.
3. Environment
Vehicles emit smoke and dangerous gases that pollute the envirinment. Emissions inspection ensures your vehicle does not discharge excessive amount of harmful gases.
4. Cost Saving
Inspections can save your money in the long run as small defects can be identified and rectified before they become major issues. Well maintained vehicles run more efficiently, so you get the most out of every drop of fuel.

#fit2drive : About
The Malaysian Automotive Institute would like to invite students to create a social media campaign to raise the awareness of Malaysians towards the importance of vehicle inspections to ensure the road-worthiness of their vehicles.
What kills Malaysians?
Bad drivers but also bad cars. Sometimes bad drivers because of bad cars. Sometimes good drivers by bad cars. We need to ensure every car on the road is roadworthy, ensure Malaysians regularly inspect their vehicles and keep them #fit2drive.
What is #fit2drive?
The #fit2drive challenge is a call to action. We challenge Malaysian engineering students to learn about vehicle inspection and Malaysian vehicle inspection plan.

Tips hidupkan enjin kereta apabila bateri lemah
Kecemasan!!!
Kecemasan!!!
Enjin Kereta Tak Hidup???
Disini ada cara untuk membantu menghidupkan kereta apabila bateri lemah
Apabila enjin tidak dapat dihidupkan dengan mudah kerana bateri dan/atau motor starter dalam keadaan rosak, biasanya enjin dapat start dengan prosedur berikut:
1: Menghidupkan enjin dengan menolak kenderaan bagi kereta manual. Meskipun bateri dalam keadaan lemah, enjin akan dapat dihidupkan dengan cara menolak kenderaan apabila bateri sekurang-kurangnya masih dapat dapat menerangkan lampu besar.
Pertama, nyalakan suis kemudian mintalah bantuan dua atau tiga orang untuk menolak kenderaan anda ke depan. Apabila kenderaan sudah berjalan cukup cepat, maka lepaskan pedal. Apabila enjin sudah dapat berfungsi, pijaklah segera pedal sementara itu pijaklah pedal minyak untuk meninggikan putaran enjin. Menggunakan prosedur yang sama, kereta juga dapat dihidupkan dengan cara ditarik kenderaan lain. Apapun, prosedur kedua-dua teknik itu tidak dapat digunakan untuk kereta automatik.
2: Satu lagi cara ialah dengan menghidupkan enjin dengan pertolongan bateri dari kenderaan lain. Jika ada kenderaan lain dengan bateri yang baik dan tersedia kabel yang cukup panjang, maka enjin dapat dihidupkan dengan menghubungkan terminal positif dengan positif dan negatif dengan negatif dari kedua-dua kenderaan itu. Kaedah ini dapat dilakukan apabila kedua-dua bateri mempunyai kuasa yang sama. Ketika suis kontak starter diputar, lazimnya motor starter berfungsi tetapi ada ketikanya gandar enjin tidak berputar. Dan dalam keadaan lain pula, ketika suis kontak starter diputar, enjin dapat berfungsi tetapi tidak berjalan dengan baik dan kemudian mati dengan tiba-tiba. Dalam keadaan itu, antara kerosakan yang mungkin berlaku adalah kerosakan pada motor starter, gigi motor starter atau roda daya rosak. Kejadian itu bukan kali pertama terjadi. Dalam keadaan lain ketika suis kontak diputar, motor starter berfungsi dan gandar enjin berputar cepat tetapi enjin tidak dapat berfungsi atau ketika suis kontak starter diputar, enjin dapat berfungsi tidak berjalan dengan baik dan kemudian mati dengan tiba-tiba.
Dalam kedua-dua kes itu mereka mungkin berhadapan dengan kerosakan pada sistem penyaluran bahan bakar (sistem petrol) atau sistem penyalaan. Apabila motor starter berfungsi dan dapat memutar gandar enjin dengan baik, tetapi enjin tidak dapat berfungsi, maka hal itu menunjukkan kerosakan tidak berlaku pada bateri dan peralatan start. Biasanya, apabila proses mampatan dapat berjalan lancar, enjin tidak akan secara tiba-tiba rosak. Justeru, kerosakan harus dicari pada sistem penyaluran petrol dan sistem penyalaannya.
Bila keadaan itu terjadi, perkara yang harus diperiksa adalah: adakah minyak dalam tangki, adakah minyak dalam karburetor cukup? Jika cukup, ini bermakna kerosakan mungkin terletak pada sistem penyalaan.
Jika melimpah pula (karburator basah), enjin sukar dihidupkan kerana minyak yang masuk dalam ruang pembakaran terlalu banyak. Minyak melimpah biasanya terjadi kerana tutup jarum yang mengendalikan kemasukan minyak ke ruang pelampung (dalam karburator) tidak berfungsi, mungkin kerana tersekat habuk. Jika melimpah adalah sebab kegagalan enjin dihidupkan, keluarkan minyak daripada karburator, bersihkan kotoran di tutup jarum dan masuk semula minyak.
Enjin yang karburetor melimpah boleh dihidupkan dengan cara berikut. Pijak pedal petrol sepenuhnya, jalankan motor starter. Minyak yang masuk dari karburetor ke silinder melalui saluran isap dapat dihilangkan dan selepas itu enjin dapat berfungsi. Kawal injak minyak sedemikian sehingga putaran enjin terlalu tinggi. Meskipun demikian, ada kemungkinan enjin tidak dapat berfungsi, sedangkan karburetor tetap melimpah. Dalam hal ini, bawalah ke mekanik anda untuk dibaiki.

The MYTH of warming up your engine
Lets get something straight. Car engines DON’T benefit at all from being warmed up before driving. You’re actually hurting your engine and polluting the environment the most by letting your cold engine idle.
The best thing to do is to turn the engine on, wait about 10-30 seconds (put your seat belt and music on) and start driving it lightly. That way you are warming up the engine to it’s optimal temperature as fast as possible.
You see guys, the car engine is just a MACHINE and this MACHINE operates most efficiently when it’s running at a certain temperature range. The faster the engine reaches that temperature, the better. Until the car is warmed up, the engine is wearing out much faster than normal because the engine oil provides the best protection against friction between all the moving metal parts when it’s it’s completely warmed up. Until it reaches that state, the engine is wearing out much faster than normal. Turning the engine on and immediately driving lightly warms the car up much faster than idling.
Drive healthily fellas!

How to Check Car Before Driving
Driving an automobile is one of the potentially most dangerous things people do, but you can prevent certain problems if you know how to check your car before driving. Visual inspections may prevent an accident caused by a blown tire,, and many other potential hazards.
Steps
Tips and Warnings
Short Trips
1
Check under the car for obvious leaks. Driving with leaking fluid may cause failure of the steering, brakes or radiator.
2
Check the tires for proper inflation and any obvious damage or signs of excessive wear. In a worst case scenario, a blown tire could cause you to crash.
3
Ask someone to stand behind your car to check the lights. Turn on the car and activate the directional signals, then apply the brakes and put the car in reverse so the person can see if lights are working correctly.
Ask the person to stand in front of the vehicle, then turn on the headlights and activate the directional signals.
4
Check the back seat or seats to make sure no one is hiding there. Carjackers sometimes hide in the back seat, then surprise the driver once the car is started.
5
Check your windows to make sure you have good visibility. Check mirrors to be sure they are aligned properly, giving you a proper view of the road.
6
Know how the gauges on your dashboard should look when everything is working properly. Check the gauges every time you start your car. Check the engine temperature gauge after the engine has had time to warm.
7
Check the vents, heating system and air conditioning to be sure they are in working order so you can can defog or defrost the windows when necessary.
Long Trips
1
Check fluids in the car periodically. Check the oil weekly. Check the brake and power steering fluids and engine coolant transmission fluids monthly or before a long trip to be sure they are full. Check fluids when the engine is cold. Fill the wiper fluid if necessary.
Read the owner's manual for directions on how to check the fluids. Engine fluid levels—including oil, brake fluid and power steering fluids—are easy to check via dipsticks found under the hood. Engine coolant is visible in a plastic container apart from the radiator on newer vehicles.
2
Have the battery tested before a trip. Although you can take have the battery tested by a mechanic, you can check for obvious signs of corrosion on the terminals or for signs of cracks or leaks. Have the battery fixed or replaced immediately if you find anything wrong.
3
Activate your windshield wipers and sprayer to be certain they work.
4
Check your air filter before a long trip, as it can affect fuel efficiency and engine performance.
5
Make sure the spare tire is inflated and serviceable and the jack is present. It's a good idea to check them periodically even if you aren't going on a long trip.
Tips
Service stations check automobiles for drivers taking long road trips. A service station or mechanic should also check the steering, suspension and drive train.
