Hail phenomenon in Indonesia

Terakhir Diubah : 16:13:21 - Kamis, 24 Februari 2022

A number of areas in the city of Surabaya were hit by heavy rain accompanied by strong winds and large amounts of ice on Monday (21/2/2022) at around 14.50 WIB. So what causes hail? Hail occurs because there is a temperature difference in the clouds and the earth's surface is reached. So, the air temperature on the earth's surface is very hot while Cumulonimbus (CB) clouds in the sky have very low temperatures, which can reach minus 80 degrees. So that when it rains, the ice has not melted and there is hail. Then can a vehicle damaged by hail be covered by insurance? You have to re-check your vehicle policy, whether hail is a natural disaster covered by your Vehicle Insurance. For information about vehicle protection, contact us at 021-50508080.

Parking: Shift to “P” Or Pull the Handbrake First?

The parking brake is essential to your safety and those around you. If you have an automatic gearbox, apply the handbrake first, then put it in P. This ensures that the car’s weight isn’t resting on the parking pawl. If you don’t use the handbrake, you’ll be putting constant pressure on the parking pawl and transmission components which will eventually fail, leading to costly repairs.

Your car’s brakes are controlled by something called a parking pawl.The parking pawl locks the transmission's output shaft to the transmission casing by engaging a pawl (a pin) that engages in a notched wheel on the shaft, stopping it (and thus the driven wheels) from rotating.When you shift into “P” first, the weight of the car rests on that tiny metal bit we call the parking pawl. That’s not great. When you do this, you will hear the unpleasant “clunk” when shifting out of “P” later.

If you have an automatic transmission, apply the handbrake first, then put it in P. Shifting to 'P' before pulling the handbrake is how you damage your automatic transmission.
