For the car not to drive for a long time, you must pay attention to these 3 steps, otherwise it will be scrapped in advance!
With the development of modern society, automobiles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's lives. However, there are special circumstances in which we may not be using the car for a long time, such as on a business trip, travel, or other reason that makes it temporarily impossible to drive. Not driving for a long time may cause certain damage to the car and may even lead to early scrapping. Therefore, when we do not drive for a long time, we must pay attention to the following three steps.
Step 1: Keep the body dry and clean.
When the car is not driven for a long time, the humidity and pollutants of the parking environment can have a great impact on the body. If the car is parked in a wet place, it is easy to cause rust on the body. At this point, we should choose a dry place, or use a carport for shelter. At the same time, it is also very important to wash the car body regularly. Dirt and dirt can corrode the paint, and leaving it untreated for a long time can cause the paint to peel off. Therefore, we should use suitable car wash products to clean and polish the body regularly.
Step 2: Maintain the battery.
If you don't drive for a long time, the battery will become a key maintenance object. The battery is the heart of the car, it stores the electrical energy needed to start the car. If you don't use the car for a long time, the battery will gradually run out of power, causing the battery to fail. Therefore, we should make sure that the vehicle's battery is in good condition before not driving for a long time. First of all, we can use a professional battery tester to detect the power of the battery, and if it is lower than the standard value, it can be charged by the charger. Secondly, we can also unplug the negative cable to avoid the natural discharge of the battery. Finally, choose a stable temperature environment to store the battery and avoid overheating or colding. Doing so can effectively extend the life of the battery and reduce the risk of failure.
Step 3: Protect your tires.
Tires are an important part of the car in contact with the ground, which directly affects driving safety and handling performance. Not driving for a long time will cause problems such as loss of pressure and deformation of tires, and may even lead to punctures. In order to avoid this from happening, we should pay attention to the following points. First of all, we can inflate the tires to the standard value according to the air pressure value recommended by the manufacturer. Secondly, we can park the vehicle on flat ground and avoid being subjected to excessive gravitational pressure for a long time, which can reduce the deformation and loss of pressure of the tire. In addition, we can also turn the tires regularly to prevent the tires from getting fixed in one place and causing them to deform. These measures can effectively protect the tires and prolong their service life.
To sum up, a car that has not been driven for a long time needs to pay special attention to three aspects: keeping the body dry and clean, maintaining the battery and protecting the tires. Only by taking these steps can we ensure that a car that has not been driven for a long time will remain safe and reliable when it is reused. At the same time, we should also carry out regular maintenance and repairs to better protect the various components of the car. Keeping your car in good condition not only extends its lifespan, but also improves the driving experience and safety. Let's protect our cars together and bring more convenience and happiness to our travel!
