Entering winter, what should you pay attention to when driving a car after ice and snow?

The first snow in winter every year always leaves a deep impression on me. I saw a three-car collision yesterday, which was quite tragic! Driving on the road, no one wants to deliberately rear-end or crash, in fact, there is no way at that moment, the car does not listen to control, there is a feeling of powerlessness. Well, in this season, we can’t stop driving because of the weather. After all, it is useful to buy a car. For this, what should we pay attention to? I would like to share with you:
Winter wiper treatment
Seeing a lot of online videos teaching how to deal with the frozen wiper problem, I tried a lot of methods, but failed in the end, such as turning off the vehicle, holding the wiper lever for 3 seconds, and the wiper would stand up. This method does not work on the mountain exploration. The wiper is too close to the front cover, and the front cover block cannot be erected directly, so it must be brushed up to the top before it can stand up. After many failures, I came up with a simple and reliable way to fill a small spray can with glass cleaning liquid, which can be used to clean the car glass after the snow, or to clean the wiper, and then spray it with the air conditioner to blow the glass. the icing of the wiper will melt quickly, which is very easy to use.
Second, common sense of air conditioning
When Tanyue turns on the air conditioner in winter, you don’t have to turn on A Maxim C. very often, when you turn on AUTO, the vehicle will turn on it automatically, which actually wastes part of the energy and consumes part of the excess fuel consumption. In winter, you only need to start the warm air and use the heat of the engine to warm the car. There is no need for the operation of the air conditioner, resulting in excess consumption. This is also a small way to save fuel.
III. Filling of antifreeze liquid
When adding glass cleaning fluid in winter, you need to pay attention to its cold resistance, which is generally chosen at-40 degrees Celsius in the north, so that you can basically get through this winter safely, and you must not buy fake goods. The containers of cleaning fluid are easy to damage containers and components after they are frozen. It is recommended to replace them before the first snow in winter, and then pay attention to whether the antifreeze of the vehicle is lacking. If you find it missing, it will be replenished immediately. Let’s take a look at where they are, and make sure you don’t add the wrong position when raising.

4. Close the rearview mirror and fold
I think the functional configuration of Tan Yue is relatively rich in cars of the same class, such as the rearview mirror folding function. I suggest turning it off in winter. After a baptism of rain and snow, it has already been frozen in the morning. Opening the car door at this time will cause the rearview mirror not to open and crunch. It is impossible not to damage this part, so do not open the rearview mirror folding in winter. Prolong the service life of the rearview mirror.
5.
After the first rain and snow in winter, the road is like a mirror. At this time, we do a little test to see if the snow pattern of the mountain will work at the critical moment.
In the standard mode, the mountain exploration will be prompted to limit skid, and the function of anti-side slip and stabilization will be intervened. When we turn on the snow mode, the first feeling is that the steering wheel becomes much heavier, and the stabilization system of the car body is better, and the road is more confident over the ice and snow. Of course, the most reliable thing is to change a set of snow tires, combined with the snow mode, that is the safest, although I did not change (cash-strapped) It is necessary to suggest that motorists can change their snow tyres.

The car obviously skidded in standard mode.
Turning on snow mode is not selected in MOOE mode, but rotates the knob and adjusts it to snow mode.
When adjusted to snow mode, there is a significant difference between chassis training and power output, and the vehicle skidding is obviously improved. It is estimated that there will be a different experience in turning and braking. This model is very practical. If you haven’t used it, you might as well give it a try this winter.
Finally, when we come to the last solar term of the year, we must make good safety precautions, be courteous and walk slowly, put the safety of our families first, and wish the majority of cyclists safe travel and all the best!
