As a driver in Singapore, it is important to be aware of the rules and regulations that govern driving. Here are some tips to help you stay safe on the roads, especially with you’re driving with rented cars. You can rent a car at SingaporeCarRental website.
1) Do not rev your car too much. At the very least, you should be changing gears according to the speed of your car; do not jerk suddenly into lower or higher gears as it will cause damage.
2) When idling at red lights, use Bike Mode (if available). This helps save fuel and reduces emissions by shutting off unnecessary systems such as air conditioning and infotainment system. You can manually turn on these systems when needed.
3) Use a different petrol brand if possible – try Chevron with Techron. If the fuel supplier doesn’t have a good line of petrol, it is best to choose a different brand because some petrol suppliers do not use high quality additives in their fuel. As a result, your car might experience build-ups that can affect engine performance or clog up injectors and filters.
4) Check if your car has been recalled before servicing – you will be saved from incurring unnecessary expenses if your car is serviced under warranty without checking its recall status first.

5) Perform general check-ups at authorised service centres . It’s better to pay a small sum annually for maintenance rather than pay a huge sum later when you need to get your car serviced for an issue that could have been prevented.
6) Perform regular checks on your fluid levels, tire pressure and brakes. The correct level of these are essential for making sure your car performs well in any situation. Your tyres should be inflated regularly according to the recommended tyre pressures by the manufacturer – don’t ignore this as it will affect the life of your tyres and also safety .
7) Check which filter needs replacing by consulting your Owner’s Manual or with a workshop advisor. Even if there is no indication that a particular filter requires changing, it sometimes does not hurt to check for replacement schedules just in case – we all benefit from a little extra reliability.
8) Check your spare tyre regularly. In Singapore, it is compulsory for tyres to have indicators that wear out with every kilometre driven. This will not affect performance but can indicate when you need to replace it soon. You should check the air pressure regularly as well – if there’s too much air, tyre rotations may be needed more often than usual; if there’s too little, your car could experience poor handling and braking abilities.
9) Keeping your engine clean helps reduce emissions and improves efficiency by allowing free flow of air through the intake system. Cleaning routines might vary depending on the make and model of your engine so visit this website for daily checks you can do yourself.
