The battery is most afraid of low temperature, more need maintenance

Winter is coming. The lowest temperature in Tuocheng recently has already dropped to below zero. The cold temperature makes the fuel flow worse and the lubricant viscosity increases. At this time, if the car method is not appropriate, it will reduce the service life of the car, or even an accident.

Check periodically when using refrigerant

When winter comes, be sure to do a careful cleaning of the engine cooling system before adding the coolant. Should use 10% caustic soda water solution to soak in the water tank for one hour, and then discharge the flushing liquid, and then repeatedly rinse with softened water for 2 to 3 times, in order to remove the original accumulated scale in the engine cooling system, and then add the freezing liquid after washing.

Frozen liquid is generally valid for two years, in order to reduce waste, do not replace randomly after filling. The frozen liquid in use shall be subject to regular item inspection. If the specific gravity increases, the frozen liquid thickens, the freezing point rises, and the frozen liquid becomes turbid, deteriorated, deodorant or foaming, etc., the liquid shall be replaced in time.

"When the temperature is below zero, it is better to drive the car to the 4S shop for an inspection to see whether the freezing point of the freezing liquid rises, whether the rubber parts at the joints are brittle or not, and whether there is leakage of the freezing liquid. Yulin ollisheng AUDI 4S store after sales director Yin Jie said.

Replenish the battery electrolyte in time

The battery is most afraid of low temperature, in the winter before the arrival of the battery must be timely supplement of electrolyte, and check the power storage. When the weather is warm, the use of normal batteries in the cold temperature often failure, so the maintenance of the battery should pay special attention to, otherwise it is likely not fire. In the inspection to see if it is necessary to add distilled water, at the same time to check the clean battery pole column, and test the specific gravity of the battery liquid. It is best to replace a battery that has been used for more than two years and is unable to start.

"Yin jie said:" the public friends also pay attention to check the battery connection points have no loose and corrosion, at the same time do not use the battery in the case of fire, once the loss of power to go to the 4S shop detection.

Tires are pressed to standard in winter

"In the past, the tire pressure of cars was generally high, so it should be reduced in winter," said Yin. Now due to the need for comfort, the normal tire pressure has been relatively low, if the pressure is reduced, the tire is easily damaged. Therefore, the winter vehicle tires in accordance with the standard stamping on the line.

Excessive tire pressure may not only lead to a burst tire, but also make the middle of the tire in the form of protruding contact with the ground, resulting in a significantly reduced grasp range of the tire, emergency braking can not provide enough friction to achieve braking; Too low tire pressure also makes the tire on both sides of the outer edge contact the ground, can not make the entire tread contact the ground. It is best to check the tire pressure with the tire pressure gauge every week when the tires are cold to ensure that the front and rear tire faces on each side are fully in contact with the ground, so as to achieve the best ground holding effect, and at the same time, it can reduce the vibration of the road surface, increase the driving comfort and save oil.

At the same time, the winter should also pay attention to whether the tire cracks and bulging phenomenon occurs, once there should be timely maintenance.

Prevent wipers from sticking to the glass

"Remember to clean up the water on the wiper and the glass after washing the car. Check the wiper in time for any cracks and damages. Leave the car at night with a towel between the wiper and the glass so that it doesn't stick to the glass when it's dew or frosting. In the morning found that the windshield wiper is ice water stuck on the windshield, do not use hot water to wash directly, so easy to make the window because of temperature changes and crack, wiper deformation. The correct way is to turn on the air conditioner to the hot air. Yin Jie said.

Glass cleaning fluid to be used in winter

Although the use of glass cleaning liquid in winter will significantly reduce, it can't be ignored. Some car owners use water in place of cleaning fluid in other heavy seasons, but those alternatives can freeze in winter, so don't use them.

Yin Jie said: "in the environment of the air temperature is below zero should replace the antifreeze glass cleaning fluid in winter, the cleaning fluid generally labeled as - 35 ℃, replacing glass cleaning fluid, the original cleaning fluid should be clear, in order to avoid new clean with cleaning fluid and residual liquid crystal, affect the use."

Don't wash your car in cold water

In sub-zero temperatures, you can't wash your car directly with cold water. In particular, can't directly wash the engine, because the engine temperature, the car front temperature is higher, with cold water cleaning will cause rapid cooling, there is a lot of damage to the car paint. It's best to wash your car in warm water. After washing, open the window and dry the area around it. When the window is frozen, do not force the switch, especially pay attention to the electric window, to be used after the natural melting ice.

Check the heating system before winter

Before entering winter even key checks heating device, be like windscreen, side window outlet, rear window electric heater, make its are in good condition, in order to avoid wintry window to freeze frost, obstruct line of sight, affect safety. To quickly remove fog, turn on the air conditioning switch; The use of special glass antifogging agent, the effect is also very good; If there is no special anti-fogging agent for the glass, you can also use a household glass cleaner or detergent to wipe the inside surface of the windshield, which can also play a role in anti-fogging.

Finally, it is necessary to make a comprehensive inspection of the brake system, including: whether the brake has run off, weak, brake pedal force change, if necessary, but also to the whole system to clean up the pipeline part.
