The body is the enclosed section of the vehicle designed for the occupants.

The engine is the power unit that generates the mechanical force needed to propel the vehicle.

The gearbox allows the driver to select different gear ratios, controlling the vehicle’s speed and torque.

These shafts are responsible for transferring the rotational power from the gearbox to the wheels, making them turn.

The suspension system is designed to cushion the ride and maintain tire contact with the road by absorbing bumps and vibrations.

Brakes are critical safety components that apply friction to reduce the vehicle’s speed and bring it to a halt.

This indicates the engine is overheating, which can cause damage.

Fuel quantity indicator which Indicates low or high fuel level; refueling is needed soon.

In Qatar’s high temperatures, issues like a dirty air filter or faulty idle control valve can cause RPM to rise and fall abnormally when stationary.

Exceeding this speed may be unsafe or illegal.

Regular maintenance is essential for vehicle longevity.

Low oil pressure can cause severe engine damage.

Indicates a problem with the battery or charging system. It should be turned off after the engine is turned on; otherwise, turn the engine off.

Indicates very low fuel level.

This warning means the brake fluid may be low, which can affect braking performance and safety.

Driving with the handbrake engaged can damage the brakes.

The seat belt holds you securely in place during sudden stops or collisions.

Qatar Traffic Law prohibits children under ten years old from sitting in the front seats while the vehicle is moving.

For maximum safety, babies should be in rear-facing car seats located in the back seat.

Airbags inflate rapidly during an impact to cushion occupants and prevent severe head or chest injuries.

Headrests support your head, preventing whiplash and neck injuries during sudden braking or collisions.

This feature allows the steering column to deform or collapse forward, reducing impact force on the driver.

ABS prevents wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing for better steering control and shorter stopping distances.

These reinforce the doors, providing better protection to occupants in the event of a side collision.

Brake fluid level should be checked every week. A significant drop usually means brake pads need replacement, not just topping up.

The engine oil filter should be replaced after every two engine oil replacements to ensure clean oil circulation.

If the radiator coolant level decreases, it should be topped up using distilled water, and ensure the lid is firmly closed with no leaks.

The recommended tire air pressure is often around 35 bar, as indicated on the label inside the driver’s door.

The first step is to move your vehicle off the main road to a safe spot without causing further accidents.

Activate hazard lights (flashers) and place a reflecting triangle 50m (internal) or 100m (external) behind the vehicle for visibility.

For safety, remove the vehicle from the highway, slow down gently, and keep the steering wheel steady to prevent deviation.

Downshift gears, then apply the handbrake, and safely guide the vehicle off the road.

Pulling a trailer means your vehicle will accelerate slower and require a greater distance to stop, especially on slopes.

When going down long or steep slopes with a trailer, shift to a lower gear to maintain better control and preserve brakes.

The immediate priority after an accident with injuries is to provide aid to those affected.
