Bangkok--20 Dec--Total Quality PR
Once the winter wind arrives, everyone starts thinking about places to go and visit in Thailand to get some fresh clean air. It is said that the joy of traveling doesn't lie in the destination, but in the journey, not to mention driving among beautiful scenery in your favorite car equipped with a full range safety features. Here are some not-so-secret tips for your end of the year trip from MG.
1. Enjoy the cool winter air with a sunroof
One thing to do during a winter trip is to turn off the air conditioner and roll down the windows to savor the fresh air, while also helping lower fuel consumption. If the car has a sunroof, as MG cars do, drivers can feel that additional wondrous cool breeze that aids in air circulation. A sunroof also makes the car feel cozy and romantic for couples who travel together, while families can let their children experience the sense of real carefree safe fun.
2. Turn on the fog lights to enhance visibility
It is common for a lot of areas in early months of winter to be covered with fog. Some areas in the hilly regions get foggy in the morning and evening which cuts down visibility. Drivers should drive slower and check all their car lights before starting their journey. Use front and rear fog lights to increase visibility for the car and drive in the left lane for safety. In this weather, the humidity level is high, making the road slippery, so drivers should be extremely cautious especially on mountainous and winding roads.
3. Feel safe with an emergency contact or iCall
MG provides an iCall function, via inkaNet[1], in which drivers can reach the MG Call Centre at their fingertips to get helpful information, including providing and sending fun and interesting hot spots directly to the in-car touch screen monitor without any search effort. In case of an emergency, this function can assists in guiding drivers throughout the journey like a faithful companion. At the same time, though, drivers should have emergency contact numbers with them at all times for ultimate safety.
4. Create a safer journey by entering Point of Interest before setting off
Before travelers embark on their trip, drivers should plan exact destinations to avoid uncertainty on the road which can lead to potential accidents. If MG drivers are unsure about the route, they can use the highly accurate iGo navigation via inkaNet installed in the car. This function helps guiding drivers with directions to their Point of Interest, ensuring a safe and sound journey
5. Take a break to rest your mind and your car
On long journeys, making a pit stop is essential for the driver and the car. It is as important as being careful on the road. It not only allows drivers to stretch, but taking a break enables travelers to be present in nature and pay attention to their surroundings. It is also an opportunity to capture the moment with your camera. However, one thing to keep in mind is for drivers to find a rest stop that is safe. In case that the area is misty, drivers have to make sure that they do not park their car in the way of other vehicles. If it is difficult to see around the parking spot and drivers are unsure of where they have parked, MG drivers can use inkaNet to turn on the headlights in their car so as to help them find their car in times of bad visibility.
Winter is no longer dreary when travelers can have a relaxing journey by themselves or with their loved ones with these safety tips from MG. Driving with knowledge ensures a successful trip to greet winter and all that is fascinating in the Kingdom of Thailand.
