20 is no longer, 21 is coming quietly!
In the past few days, the cold wave has swept across the country, and it has fallen sharply in various places, and it has become normal for snow to freeze. Winter weather is cold, the climate is relatively dry, rain, snow and haze in the north, foggy days in the south, rainy days, dark frosts and dew in winter will make the road very slippery, so you must reduce the speed to ensure traffic safety.
Having never lived in the north, watching TV and motorists said a few points, in addition to checking the condition of the car, the main thing is to maintain a sufficient safe distance between the car and the car in front of the car, and the safe distance between the car on the ice and snow road should be kept at two to three times the safe distance on the dry road. When starting in low temperature and cold weather, the vehicle should be preheated, and then start slowly when the engine temperature comes up. After starting, you should drive at a low speed for some distance, and then gradually increase the speed when the engine temperature rises to the normal value. In winter, pedestrians are overdressed and slow to move. When driving at the intersection, they should slow down ahead of time and pay attention to the movement of pedestrians. When going uphill, increase the distance between the car and the front car in advance, and choose the appropriate gear. When going downhill, according to the road condition, make good use of the function of engine mechanical braking. Keeping enough power while driving in winter is one of the best ways to prevent ice and snow from skidding.
On the other hand, the children’s shoes in the south are simple. As long as you pay attention to the fog lights on rainy and foggy days, the fog in the front windows should be opened to remove fog and maintain sufficient safety distance, and more should be to check your own vehicles from time to time to ensure the normal operation of all parts of the vehicle.
If there is anything else to pay attention to, you are welcome to add!

Today’s protagonist, the 10-year old Carola
Shooting location, a broken road by the coast of Zhuhai
The environment is safe, there is no traffic!

I came here in a hurry because of Foshan. I couldn’t find a place to wash the car, so everyone just looked at it.

Ten years old card, mileage is also more than 100,000, driving on the road has never dropped the chain, Toyota quality is really not to say.

It also has something to do with my frequent inspection and timely maintenance.

Winter inspection begins
First of all, the tires, check for lack of air, pattern wear, whether there is any damage
The tire pressure is marked on the threshold of the main driver.
If the pattern wear is too much, you can do a four-wheel transposition or replace a new tire, after all, this is related to the length of the braking distance.
There are injuries, not to mention, must be replaced, otherwise the tire on the way out of the chain is a very bad thing.

There is always a little rain and fog in the winter morning, and the front gear is easy to get dirty and foggy.
At this time, the wiper is also the key, check whether the wiper tape is working properly or aging, if there is a problem to replace the new wiper in advance, to ensure that the wiper can be clean and clear.

Check whether the fog lights are working properly before and after, and turn on the rainy and foggy weather to make sure that others can see you.

Check the thickness of the brake pads and replace them if you reach the clinical point.

After checking the fog light, the rainy and foggy weather is turned on, so that the car behind can find you in advance.

Wiper water
Students in the north have to change into anti-freezing ones to prevent icing from damaging the water pump.
Just take it easy in the south.

Check brake oil
Look at the water content, if it exceeds the standard, it should also be replaced, which directly affects the braking system.
Some tiger, some Beijing 100 contracted workers and materials.

There is no one of the key points of winter inspection.
It’s the battery.
My old card’s first battery died in winter!

Go to the auto repair shop and use special tools to test the battery’s power and voltage.
Or observe the observation hole on the battery to confirm the health of the battery.
If power loss and starting difficulties are found, it must be replaced immediately.

Check if the battery link is loose or aging

Last but not least, check the oil
Winter precautions are basically these!
