Correct answer

  • Cdetectar a tiempo un deterioro y prevenir un reventón.detect damage in time and prevent a blowout.
Explanation

Of all the parts of the vehicle, the tyres are probably the ones that need the most checking by the driver. Checking them regularly allows us to keep them in perfect condition and drive completely safely. We must regularly check the pressure with the tyres cold, using a pressure gauge. We also have to check that they have no cuts, deformations or uneven wear.
