Entering the northern winter, do a routine “physical examination” for your car

11 Tanyue has been serving for me for more than a year. August 1st last year brought home. It happened to be Army Day. I only know how to use a car, and I rarely go for tests. The weather is getting colder and winter in the north is coming soon. I also add clothes to myself. At the same time, it is necessary to test my car to welcome the first cold wave in the north.
The first thing to do when entering the store is to “make an appointment” to fill in the form. There are relatively few people repairing cars in our small town, so there is basically no need to queue up. Fill out the form and drive the car directly to the workshop.
Waiting in line for the maintenance boy to carefully inspect, the repair order and car were ready.
The testing procedure is quite professional. I will pick some key points to talk about it. I personally think that the most important thing in vehicle testing is the “screws”, because during high-speed or long-term driving, a big accident is often caused by a small one. The screws are loose, causing a certain component to fail, and eventually causing a major accident. I discovered this problem during testing and was quite scared.
First, the maintenance worker lifted Tanyue up to see the specific condition of the bottom of the car.
Move the wheel and check for any false position in the direction and whether some parts are loose.
The maintenance workers patiently explained the chassis structure and materials of Tanyue to the car owners who came to watch.
The screws of the rear arm were found to be loose and tightened in time. This is no joke.
Next, test the tire pressure and the specific condition of the tire. The tire pressure of a car has different standards in each season. The specific condition of the tire is also very important. A small negligence may break down halfway or cause a bigger disaster.
Testing antifreeze for freezing point test. I think this test is necessary in the north, because the outdoor temperature in winter in the north is still very low. If there is a lack of antifreeze or the freezing point of antifreeze is not enough, the vehicle will be damaged.
Maintenance workers used special instruments to conduct freezing point tests on the vehicle’s antifreeze.
Here is how to look at this device. The blue part is the freezing temperature, so the intersection of white and blue is the freezing point. Now it shows that it will only freeze at-45 degrees Celsius, which meets the specifications.
Check the amount of oil
Pulling out the oil dipstick, the maintenance worker also specially told me where the standard scale was. The oil volume of my Tanyue met the standard.
This blue device is used to measure the water content of brake fluid. Of course, if the water content is too high, it will affect vehicle safety.
The instrument shows that the blue interval is less than 1% GOOD, and there is no problem at all.
Checking vehicle computer data is also called detecting fault codes. After driving for a period of time, the driving computer cannot recognize it due to some abnormal operations, forming a fault code. Although it will not affect normal travel, it will cause certain damage to the car if it is not cleared for a long time. It is important to develop correct driving habits.
Finally, after swiping the trouble code, you can drive on the road. Personally, I feel that it is necessary to inspect the car frequently. First of all, I feel a lot more at ease. Moreover, doing so is also responsible to my family. It will not take long for the whole journey. Time, no matter what, you must do a test when you are away from home. After all, safety is the top priority of travel.
