Unconsciously, it has been a year since Toukai picked up the car and ushered in its second winter. As the weather gets colder and colder, it has now entered the 39th solar term. I wonder if everyone has safely maintained your car in time before winter? Here are some of my own car experiences, and drivers are welcome to discuss them together.
1. Check whether various oils need to be replenished, and replace them in time and add winter glass water. If the car is old, it is recommended to go to the 4s shop to check whether the antifreeze is still effective.

The temperature in Beijing this year is much lower than in previous years. I chose to add glass water at-30 degrees.
2. In winter, the tire pressure will decrease compared with summer as the temperature drops. It is necessary to detect inflation in time and basically maintain the tire pressure at 2.3-2.5.

The tire pressure was charged to 2.5 at the end of June when it was first insured, but now it has dropped to 1.9.
3. Because the frequency of car washing in winter is relatively low, if acid and alkali substances are not cleaned in time in rainy and snowy weather, it will easily cause damage to the car paint. Therefore, paint maintenance can be done as winter approaches.
4. Before using the car in winter, the in-situ idle warm-up time increases compared to usual. In order to avoid carbon deposition in the car, Fuel Bao can be used.
5. The temperature is low in winter. With the increase of electrical equipment, it has a great impact on the battery. We should also pay attention to the use status of the battery. You can choose the 12V power outlet with voltage display in the car to charge it or go to the store to check the battery.
6. When the weather is dry in winter, the leather part of the vehicle interior can be maintained to prevent cracking.
7. In winter, due to the large temperature difference between inside and outside the car, the windshield and windows are prone to fog. In order to ensure the safety of driving vision, anti-fog treatment is carried out regularly.
For the vehicles I use, the manufacturers issue free inspection coupons every season. It is still necessary for qualified riders to go to the 4s store for a systematic inspection. Timely discovery and resolution of problems also reduces the probability of failure occurring during the use of the vehicle.
