As the temperature gradually drops, winter has quietly arrived. For car owners, how to make their car safe and smooth through the winter is a problem that needs to be seriously considered. Below, let's talk about the correct way to spend the winter with your car, as well as several "cold" knowledge that you need to pay attention to when using a car in winter.
1. Change the winter oil in time.
As the temperature drops, the viscosity of the oil increases and the fluidity becomes poor. Therefore, it is necessary to change the winter oil in time to keep the engine running normally. As a general rule, when the temperature is below -5, the winter oil should be changed.
2. Check the vehicle's cooling system.
In winter, it is very important to check the cooling system. To check whether the liquid level of the coolant is normal, if the liquid level is too low, you need to add it in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether there is water leakage in the pipes of the cooling system, and if there is water leakage, it needs to be repaired in time.
3. Pay attention to the tire maintenance of the vehicle.
Tires are the only part of the vehicle that comes into contact with the ground, so the maintenance of tires is especially important during the winter months. Check whether the air pressure of the tires is normal, if the air pressure is too high or too low, it will affect driving safety. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether the tread depth of the tire is normal, if the tread depth is too shallow, the tire needs to be replaced in time.
4. Keep the temperature in the car appropriate.
In winter, it's important to keep the temperature inside your car right. If the temperature inside the vehicle is too low, it will not only affect the comfort of the driver and passengers, but also cause damage to the parts and components of the vehicle. Therefore, during driving, it is necessary to turn on the heating system in time to maintain the temperature in the car.
5. Pay attention to the use of vehicle lights.
In winter, visibility is reduced due to the weather. Therefore, during driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the use of lights in the vehicle. It is necessary to maintain the normal working condition of front and rear fog lights, marker lights and other lighting equipment to ensure driving safety.
In short, there are many things to pay attention to when using a car in winter. Only by mastering the correct way to spend the winter and the knowledge of using the car can you let your car survive the winter safely and smoothly. At the same time, we should also pay attention to saving energy and protecting the environment, and contribute to the construction of a better home.
