After a night of strong winds.
The rain and snow are coming!
After experiencing the grand occasion of the vehicle being "frozen" a few years ago.
You know in such a climate.
How can I properly protect my car?
Let's take a look!
Upfront protection is key
Secure parking for vehicles
When rain and snow come, it is best for qualified car owners to park their cars in underground garages or parking locations with shed roofs, so as to ensure that their cars are not frozen to the greatest extent.
If you must park your car outdoors, try not to park under a large tree with lush foliage, so as to avoid the branches being crushed by freezing rain or snow, and smashing your car.
At the same time, due to the current snow, ice, snow and freezing rain accompanied by windy weather in Wuhan, when covering your car with a car coat, if the internal coating of the car is not soft or there is mud and sand inside, the car paint may be worn out under the blowing of the wind. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a type that can be tightly fixed when using the car clothing to avoid excessive friction.
If you don't have a cover, you can also use a cover to cover the front windshield and front door position, so that the windshield can be easily de-iced and opened the door the next day.
Finally, it's best to pull up the wipers when parking to avoid them from freezing.
Determine the state of antifreeze
Thick clothes are indispensable when people are cold, and antifreeze is indispensable when the car is cold. Replenishment of antifreeze ensures that the engine and its cooling system do not strike.
Make sure the tire pressure is sufficient
Low temperatures will cause tires to become stiff and brittle, and friction and grip will decrease at the same time, so it is important to ensure that the tire pressure is sufficient to prevent tire aging. It is also necessary to check the tires frequently and clean up the tread debris, otherwise you will face the risk of a puncture.
Keep an eye on the battery level
In a low temperature environment, the performance of the battery will be seriously reduced, if it is in a state of power loss for too long, the vehicle will not be able to start, and it is necessary to carry out power rescue, so you must check the battery power frequently in winter. If the battery has a serious loss, replace it as soon as possible!
Be prepared to drive
There are tricks to de-icing
Do not use boiling water when cleaning, because boiling water will instantly heat up the car paint and cause cracking, etc., and use warm water below 60 degrees to wash away the snow on the body.
Do not clean directly with the wipers, as this may damage the wiper motor and may also damage the wiper blades. It is best to shovel the snow with a snow plow shovel from a vehicle. If you don't have a snow shovel, you can use a car duster to remove a large area of snow from the roof and doors, and then use a soft plastic sheet or rag to carefully remove the snow from the windows, mirrors, and door handles.
When cleaning, it is necessary to gently scrape and rub, and only move in the same direction, never back and forth, to prevent hard objects remaining on the glass from scratching the glass.
If the wipers are frozen on the windshield by snow water, you can turn on the air conditioner to hot air and set the blowing mode to the front windshield until the wipers dissolve naturally.
The front and rear windshields should be cleaned
When driving, it is necessary to ensure that the front and rear windshields have a good line of sight, so as to avoid obstructing the observation of road conditions and affecting driving safety due to snow.
Brake performance to check
The braking distance will become longer when you get off the car in ice and snow weather, so you should pay attention to check whether the braking performance of the vehicle is good before driving.
Do maintenance in time after rain
Ice and snow contain a lot of corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis or salts, so it's best to wash your car as soon as the weather is fine, even if the weather forecast shows that there will be rain and snow in the next few days. In order to reduce the damage of corrosive substances to the car paint, if there is no snow after a few days, the car owner can wax or glaze the vehicle after washing the car to protect the paint.
If you can't do it, you should also open the doors and windows and dry the water traces in time to prevent the residual water from freezing in the door cracks, window cracks and rearview mirrors.
