A car is really an engineering marvel. It has more than 35,000 components working together to ensure it starts everyday without fail. Not only that, it can also take you to places, whether the weather is good or bad and when needed, a car can also provide you protection from harm. Now if you drive a Proton, you will get something additional – extra protection and also the fun-to-drive factor that is a result of years of experience in exceptional Ride & Handling.
“Like any other machine, your Proton needs some TLC (tender, loving, care) too and over the years, PROTON has organised the free 20-point check before our customers Balik Kampung for the festive holidays. It is quite essential for the driver’s peace of mind and this also help ensure that your loved ones who are riding with you, are kept safe and comfortable in the long journey. When you know your Proton is in the best condition, your celebration becomes even better, and your Proton car can become part of your memorable journeys in life for the long run,” said Abdul Rashid Musa, Chief Executive Officer, PROTON Edar Sdn Bhd.
Below are reasons why you should visit one of PROTON’s service centre and go for the free 20-point check. The check points can be categorised into three major areas – Engine Room, Exterior and Interior, and this complimentary service is provided to you with our current lubricant promotion for the festive season.
Your Proton expert technician will look at these points:
Engine…
Engine oil level
Transmission fluid check
Power steering hydraulic fluid
Brake fluid level
Coolant level
Wind screen washer fluid
Wiper blades
Battery performance
Front end alternator belt
Radiator cap
Exterior…
They are round and black but they ensure you stay on the tarmac. PROTON’s technicians will help you check your:
Tyre air pressure
Tyre tread – PROTON recommends tread to be a minimum 1.6 mm thick
Physical condition of the tyres – damaged tyres like a cut can be dangerous and you cannot see the back of your tyre!
Interior…
These are more intimate areas but you definitely need to have them in tip-top condition.
Brake and clutch pedal free play
Parking brake adjustment
Switches, lighting and indicators
Horn operation
Safety belt harnesses and points
Visual check on shock absorbers, brake and fuel pipes and lines
Now the checks do not take a lot of time and there are devices and tools required to check on the items, which means it is best to take your Proton to the service centres and let the experts do it for you!
