Pre-drive checks in the fall.

Autumn is a rare time of year suitable for self-driving travel, especially in Qinghai, and in the process of summer and autumn seasons, the vehicle occasionally has some small problems, and the driver needs to adjust the car condition in time to ensure safe travel. On the other hand, as the temperature gradually mild, the cool and pleasant climate makes you sleepy. So how can you ensure safer travel in the fall?

Driving strategy: anti-autumn sleepiness, anti-static, and autumn fog prevention.

1. The lights and wipers of the vehicle should be well maintained.

Autumn is approaching, the days become shorter and the nights increase, and the probability of using lights is further increased, so it is necessary to strengthen the inspection of lights to ensure that various lights such as wide indicator lights, fog lights, and double flashing lights can be used normally. In addition, an autumn rain and a cold, due to the more rain in autumn, the vehicle wiper should also pay attention to maintenance.

2. Take a proper rest, travel by car away from the dry autumn and the dry autumn, and the static electricity phenomenon is serious. Static electricity can cause headaches, irritability, arrhythmias, and even cardiovascular disease. For this reason, it is recommended that the driver should wash his hands before driving, or put his hands on the wall to wipe them, and you can also find metal parts in the car and touch them with the back of your hands, which can effectively eliminate static electricity. In autumn, when the weather gets cooler, people sweat relatively less, and the body enters a period of recuperation, which will add an indescribable sense of exhaustion. Therefore, when traveling by car in autumn, drivers should pay attention to controlling the time. For example, from 12 noon to 1 pm every day, it is the most tired time of the day, and the driver had better rest for at least 15 minutes; If you drive for more than two hours straight, you need to find a place to park and get out of the car for a walk.

How to keep the car in good condition in autumn?

1. Body and paint maintenance.

In autumn mornings, there is a lot of dew, and the surface of the body is prone to moisture. If there are obvious scratches on the surface of the paint, it should be sprayed in time to avoid rust due to moisture on the scratched parts. In addition, due to the corrosion of rain acid in summer rain and direct sunlight in summer, it is inevitable that the car paint will be oxidized.

2. Maintenance of air inlet or air inlet grille and electronic fan.

Autumn is the season when the leaves begin to fall and many car owners park their cars under the trees. Always check these parts for debris, and clean up if there is debris. Dust can be blown away with compressed air.

3. Interior maintenance.

Due to the high temperature and rain in summer, there are many bacteria growing in the carpet and other hidden places in the car, and with the arrival of autumn, it is necessary to do a thorough interior sterilization and cleaning of your car. When doing maintenance, it is best to use a professional cleaning agent with a high-temperature interior sauna machine, which can not only remove dirt and odor in the car, but also effectively kill bacteria.

4. Aging maintenance of wiper blades.

In summer, the temperature is high and rainy, the wiper works frequently, and the material of the wiper blade is rubber, which is easy to age due to the influence of high temperature and rain. When the wiper blades are not clean, they should be replaced in time.

5. Air conditioning maintenance.

The hot summer makes the air conditioner in the stage of overload operation for a long time, and a lot of impurities have accumulated on the air conditioner condenser and the condensation net of the water tank, which will shorten the service life of the air conditioner if not cleaned up in time, and it is easy to breed bacteria, causing the odor in the car to produce mildew. If the air conditioner filter is too dirty, it is best to replace it with a new one, and the effect will be greatly enhanced.

6. Engine compartment maintenance.

In autumn, you should always check the engine oil, brake fluid and antifreeze in the engine compartment to see if the oil is sufficient, whether it has deteriorated, and whether it is time to replace it. These fluids are like the blood of your car, and they must be replaced during the replacement cycle to ensure smooth oil circulation.

Our country is vast, and there are definitely more than these self-driving routes to see the autumn scenery, but there is no doubt that these three routes are very suitable for our Qinghai friends.
