How to maintain your car when the weather is getting cold
Pay more attention when parking and starting the vehicle
Avoid parking the vehicle at the air outlet as much as possible when parking at night, because the vehicle is made of metal, especially in the engine cylinder. After a night of blowing and low temperature, the heat absorption and conductivity of metal will cause frost in the engine, and the internal temperature will drop very low, which will not only bring great difficulties to the engine start, but also bring great difficulties to the engine. Therefore, try not to drive or boom the throttle immediately after starting the vehicle in winter, because the oil will be transported to all parts through the oil pump. If you drive and accelerate without good lubrication, it will cause serious damage to all parts of the vehicle.
to eliminate fog, always check the lights and pay attention to the line of sight
The most common problem when driving in winter is the fog on the glass inside the car, which makes the owner's line of sight blurred, thus posing a hidden danger to the driving safety belt. At this time, the temperature knob can be placed in the warm air position, which can achieve the purpose of both defogging and heating. Lighting inspection mainly includes fog lights, headlights, high-position brake lights, etc. Once the blackened bulbs are found, they should be replaced as soon as possible. Ordinary halogen headlights will generally weaken after two years of use, and if xenon headlights are to be modified, the color temperature should be between 5 and 6K K. Because, the higher the color temperature, the lower the penetration of light in dense fog weather, and the greater the safety hazard.
At the same time, we should pay attention to tire maintenance in winter
Tire rubber will become hard and brittle in winter, and the friction coefficient will decrease, so the tire pressure should not be too high, but it should not be too low. The external temperature is low, and the tire pressure is too low. Soft tires will seriously accelerate tire aging. In winter, it is necessary to regularly clean up the inclusions in the tire tread, try to avoid using tires that have been mended more than once, and replace tires with large wear and different brands and patterns. The internal and external wear of tires is quite different. In order to ensure safety and reduce wear, tires should be replaced regularly.
