Car checklist system

Awareness becomes useful when it is repeatable. These interactive checklists turn the observe-interpret-act model into simple routines you can run before a drive, a season or a long trip. Progress saves in your browser.

How these work

Tick, save, return

Each checklist below is interactive. Tap an item to mark it done and watch the status bar fill; your ticks are saved locally in your own browser, so you can close the page and pick up where you left off. Use Reset to clear a list. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.

These are general awareness routines, not mechanical procedures. They prompt you to observe and notice — not to perform repairs. Anything a check surfaces as a concern belongs with a qualified mechanic.
