With the cold spell just around the corner, it's time for a full inspection of the vehicle. The winter maintenance of private cars has always been a hot topic of concern. Below, let's take a closer look.

1.Tires and pressure

The tires, like the feet of the car, are of great importance. As the mileage accumulated, the tires will gradually wear out and deform, so it is important to check them regularly. Every time before starting the vehicle, you may wish to go around the car and observe the condition of the tires, which is not only a good Xi, but also a careful care for the vehicle. Once the tires are found to be severely worn or deformed, they should be replaced immediately to ensure driving safety. Especially in the cold winter, you can appropriately increase the tire pressure to ensure stable driving.

2.Lights and wipers

During driving, different lights need to be used in different scenes, and once there is a problem with the lights, it is easy to cause safety accidents. Therefore, be sure to check your headlights carefully before driving on the road to make sure they are working properly before hitting the road. Wipers are needed for rainy travel, and the wipers are rubber products, which will deteriorate with the increase of use. Once the scraper is found to be aging, it must be replaced in time so as not to affect driving safety. When the cold wave is coming, pay attention to whether the wipers are frozen with the front windshield before leaving the car, otherwise blindly opening the wipers will cause damage to the wipers. Therefore, be sure to check whether the wipers are working properly before leaving the car to ensure driving safety.

3.Antifreeze

Winter is coming, and you must make sure that your car's antifreeze is well prepared. Also, pay attention to the label of the antifreeze. Be sure to pay attention to the antifreeze temperature of the antifreeze you are filling to avoid adding the wrong or wrong amount. Just like in a cold winter, people need to wear thick cotton clothes to resist the cold, cars also need the right antifreeze to protect themselves against the cold winter. Therefore, riders must take the addition and selection of antifreeze seriously to ensure that the vehicle can drive safely and smoothly in the cold winter.

4.Brakes

The importance of the braking system, as the lifeline of the car, is self-evident. Once there is a problem with the braking system, it will become a huge hidden danger to the safety of both drivers and pedestrians on the road. Therefore, it is particularly important to test and check the vehicle's braking system before every exit. This is not only taking responsibility for one's own life, but also respecting and protecting the lives of others.

5.Check around.

Before setting off, no matter where your car is parked, you have to carefully check the situation around the vehicle. If any obstruction is found, we must remove it immediately to ensure safe driving. At the same time, it is also a great opportunity for us to check the condition of the tires and see if there are any new scratches or bumps on the vehicle. Once we find an abnormality, we should immediately report to the police to protect our rights and interests.
