The end of the year is approaching, the cold wave is coming, and as the temperature drops lower and lower, it is important to pay attention to driving safety.
Learn about these cars below."Cold"Knowledge, so that you are not afraid to travel, accompany you to warm the winter.
Check your antifreeze regularly
Engine failures caused by antifreeze are more likely to occur in winter. Therefore, riders need to check whether the liquid level of antifreeze is within the normal range in time.
Most refrigerant has a service life of two years, and timely inspection of antifreeze can minimize damage to the engine caused by the condensation and expansion of the refrigerant.
SpecificSelf-examination methodIt's simple:
When you find the antifreeze jug, you will see two tick marks – "max" and "min", as long as the liquid level is between the two tick marks.
Pay attention to the viscosity of the oil
Engine oil is commonly known as the "blood" of the engine, due to the drop in temperature, the viscosity of the engine oil will decrease, if the winter oil with good fluidity is not replaced in time, it may affect the start, increase the wear of the parts.
Therefore, when using a car in a colder area, you must pay attention to the viscosity of the engine oil in time and choose the right winter engine oil.
Pay attention to the battery
In winter, batteries are the most problematic place. At low temperatures, the normal charging and discharging electrodes of the battery are easily affected, and the capacitance is much lower than at room temperature, and the battery life may also be shortened.
Therefore, when parking, riders should remember to check whether all electrical equipment has been turned off, and replenish the electrolyte of the battery in time to prolong the service life of the battery.
Replace the glass of water
As the climate becomes colder, the glass water with poor antifreeze effect will freeze, which will cause the small pump motor on the glass kettle to be burned. In order to maximize the protection of the windshield and wipers, riders still need to replace the glass water with better quality and more resistance to low temperatures in time.
tips：Antifreeze glass water has a freezing temperature, so buy a freezing temperature that is at least 5 degrees lower than the local minimum temperature. For example, the local minimum is minus 10 degrees, so you can buy one with a freezing point of minus 15 degrees.
Adjust the tire pressure
Tires are prone to thermal expansion and contraction. When the outside air temperature is low, the air pressure inside the tires also decreases, so the phenomenon of "soft tires" often occurs in winter. Soft tires will seriously accelerate the aging of tires, so it is recommended that riders adjust the tire pressure in time according to the weather temperature changes.
The normal tire pressure of the regular model is inIn the summer, it can be adjusted to the lower limit of the range, in winter, it can be adjusted to the upper limit of the range
Do not pour water on the windows of the car if it is frozen
When you park your car in the open in winter, the windows are prone to freezing. At this time, do not pour hot water directly on the windows, this method of de-icing is very dangerous and can easily cause the window glass to burst.
The right way to do itYes:
Turn on the heater system after starting the car, and wait for a while to see the ice loosening. If the ice doesn't melt, you can take some warm water and wipe the windows with warm water. Remember to dry off traces of water to avoid freezing in the cracks of the door.
Low temperature raids.
Riders should pay attention to strengthening vehicle safety maintenance.
Always check the condition of the car in time before traveling.
Guaranteed driving safety!
