Precautions for driving in winter
Friends who have seen "Embarrassment in Thailand" must be deeply impressed by the scene of the paralysis of Zaler Xu and Wangbao Expressway. For most people, even if the car is just a means of transportation, it needs maintenance, otherwise the critical moment will be "terrible". Every winter, it seems that many car owners have encountered great difficulties. Although it is more difficult to drive in winter, there is no need to be alarmed. Before winter really comes, car owners should pay attention to the seasonal maintenance and inspection of key parts of their cars, especially tires, lubricating oil, glass water and batteries. Don't underestimate these parts. If they are not properly maintained, they may cause you the same trouble in winter.
Master Chen of 4S shop will diagnose and propose solutions for everyone according to the four common problems in winter, so riders may wish to take a look ahead.
Frequently asked questions 1: It is difficult to start the vehicle in the morning.
Master Chen said that every winter, the after-sales reception staff of 4S stores will receive some problems that vehicles are difficult to start. In winter, the main reasons why cars fail to catch fire are as follows:
1, the battery is low. The most direct impact of winter on urban family cars is the battery. At low temperature, the power consumption of cars will be significantly higher than other seasons, and the capacity of batteries will also decrease due to low temperature environment. This situation can be effectively avoided if you go to the 4S store to replenish the battery or replace it with a new one in time when winter comes.
2. The oil flow is blocked. This is more obvious in northern cities where the temperature is particularly low. In winter, the viscosity of engine oil will increase, and the flow of engine oil will become more and more difficult, thus increasing the resistance of the engine and making it difficult to start the car in winter. In this case, the emergency solution is to put the car in a warm environment and start it normally after a period of time. But if you want to solve it completely, you'd better go to the 4S shop for professional winter maintenance and change the appropriate oil according to local conditions.
3, exhaust pipe freezing, electronic throttle, carbon deposit stuck, etc. The freezing of the exhaust pipe mainly happens to those car owners who are close to home and work. Their cars are used less frequently, and the steam after engine combustion will freeze in some parts of the exhaust pipe, but short-distance driving is not enough to melt ice, and more ice will be formed after one night. Over time, it will have an impact on vehicle start-up and exhaust gas. Of course, the solution is actually very simple. Run high-speed every weekend in winter, and discharge the accumulated water in the exhaust pipe in time with strong exhaust force.
With the decrease of temperature in winter, it is suggested that the owner should clean the electronic throttle regularly to completely eliminate the unstable idle speed and the increase of fuel consumption caused by carbon deposition in the throttle.
