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!

On-site 20-point check…
For travellers heading to the north, south and east coast and would like to get their cars inspected, we also have our reps stationed at selected PETRONAS Stations, where the PROTON service team will be there to perform the necessary quick checks. Below are the details:

Heartwarming this… Perodua distributed 100 GearUp child seats to motorists at three highway rest areas in Peninsular Malaysia recently, as part of its on-going five-year Road Safety Campaign which was launched last October. The Toddler seats were gifted to lucky Perodua drivers travelling with children aged roughly between two and six, at Petronas stations at Rawang (PLUS), Bentong (Karak Highway) and Seremban (KL-Seremban Highway) rest areas.

“This is the first time Perodua is organising such an event in collaboration with our partner Petronas and our panel of insurers,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director Dato’ Dr Zahari Husin. “We took this special initiative because we care for the well-being of our customers and their families. We hope Malaysians will come to realise how important it is to keep children properly secured in child seats while on the move,” he added.

Introduced concurrently with the Road Safety Campaign in October, Perodua’s GearUp child seats are available in two models. Both are ISOFIX compatible and satisfy ECE R44 safety standards. The Infant seat, priced at RM622.50 (RM640 in East Malaysia), is suitable for infants weighing up to 13 kg, while the Toddler seat, priced at RM736 (RM754.50 in East Malaysia), is designed for children weighing 9-36 kg. All prices are introductory with 0% Goods and Services Tax (GST), valid until 30 June.

“Over two million vehicles are expected to hit the roads this Raya. That’s a lot of vehicles, and naturally, there is a higher risk of collisions and accidents,” Dato’ Dr Zahari said. “Seat belts are designed to restrain adults and not children. Please secure your young ones in child seats, ideally in the back seat, and do not place them on your laps when the vehicle is in motion. Always buckle up in the front and in the back, use your turn signals and do not operate your mobile devices on the move. Above all, drive carefully and have a safe journey back to your hometowns,” he continued.

Wow, just wow… well done Perodua! – Chris Wee.
