【Owner's home car knowledge】Facing the scorching summer, many car owners often only use the air conditioner to cool down to survive the dog days, but they don't know that there are still many practical configurations on the car that have been abandoned.For example, many cars now haveWith the cooling function of the glove box, it can be used as a mini refrigerator. You can usually store some of your favorite drinks, and you can enjoy ice-cold and delicious drinks when needed. Others include seat ventilation, automatic wiper, etc...The following are some practical functions we have compiled for driving in summer,I hope it will be helpful to fellow riders.
1. Seat ventilation
Ease of use index: ★★★★★
In summer, although there is an air conditioner that can maintain a constant temperature in the car, and the air-conditioning circulation mode is more humane, it still has nothing to do with the "leeward" area like the back of the seat. So the tragedy was born. No matter how much the air conditioner is turned on, the driver's back, thighs and even buttocks that are close to the seat will be stuffy and wet. The longer the time is turned on, the more uncomfortable it will be.
This is because the occupant's body is in close contact with the seat, and the air in the contact part is not circulated, which is not conducive to sweat removal and makes people feel uncomfortable. So the function of seat ventilation came into being. It can continuously flow fresh air from the small holes on the seat cushion and backrest, prevent the buttocks and back from sweating, provide a comfortable riding environment, and effectively improve the air circulation environment of the contact part between the human body and the seat surface, even if After riding for a long time, the contact surface between the body and the seat will be dry and comfortable, who knows who uses it.
2. Refrigerator and glove box refrigeration
Ease of use index: ★★★★★
In the hot summer, when you are thirsty in the car, what you want to do most is to drink a bottle of cold water. At this time, the car refrigerator will play its role. In addition, the car refrigerator also has the function of heat preservation. , you can also eat hot food.
In addition, many cars also have air-conditioning outlets in the glove box, so that the glove box can be cooled. When the air conditioning system is working, the cold air produced by the compressor will also pass through the cooling port of the glove box to cool down the glove box while it is directed into the car. The cooling of the glove box will not increase the burden on the engine, and because the space of the glove box is relatively small, the cooling temperature will be lower. You can also put food and drinks in the glove box, so that you can enjoy the refreshing feeling of iced drinks anytime, anywhere in the hot summer.
3. Insulating glass
Easy to use index: ★★★★
Insulating glass is a kind of performance glass, which has special properties like bulletproof glass. The difference is that it can be insulated.Many models currently on sale have been equipped with different types of heat-insulating glass before the original car leaves the factory, which can basically achieve the heat insulation effect produced by ordinary film.
Heat-insulating glass can be divided into XRB1, XRB3, and coated heat-insulating glass, all of which are slightly blue-green and close to colorless glass.They are characterized by absorbing large amounts of heat-generating near-infrared light and are now used in some new cars with a layer in the middleSilver film, can absorb ultraviolet rays in the sun, and will not have adverse effects on the reception of radio equipment such as radios. Ordinary colored glass can only play a simple role of heat insulation or confidentiality because there is no metal interlayer.
4. Automatic wiper
Ease of use index: ★★★★
Summer is a rainy season, and car wipers are crucial to driving safety in rainy days. The rainfall when driving on rainy days is always fluctuating. It is necessary to manually adjust the speed of the wiper and switch between different gears. Many car owners have generally turned on the "mad dog" mode of the wiper when driving. The stalk-type wipers of early models are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket when the rain is pouring down.
But if your car is equipped with an automatic sensor wiper system, you don’t need to be so troublesome. The rain sensor automatic wiper can sense the size of the raindrops through the rain sensor, and automatically adjust the speed of the wiper to provide a good view for the driver and completely liberate you. Right hand side of the wiper switch. Thereby greatly improving the convenience and safety of driving in rainy days.
5. Remote control
Ease of use index: ★★★★
After being exposed to the sun in summer, the temperature inside the car is frighteningly high. Many car owners will choose to open the door to ventilate and turn on the air conditioner to dissipate heat, but it still takes a while to cool down. If the vehicle can execute your commands remotely and adjust the temperature in advance, doesn't it feel particularly tall?
Now, such technology has been gradually applied in automobiles, such as BMW remote assistant, GM RES, BYD "cloud service", GAC Trumpchi T-BOX, etc. You can talk to your vehicle at any time and place through the APP software of your mobile phone. For example, in hot summer and cold winter, you can remotely start the engine through the mobile APP in advance, and pre-cool/preheat to adjust the temperature inside the car. Make sure you have the most comfortable environment in the car when you get in the car. In addition, there are functions such as remotely unlocking and locking the vehicle, remotely locating the vehicle location, and querying the vehicle's operating status.
6. Tire pressure monitoring
Easy to use index: ★★★★
Summer is the season when tires are more likely to blow out. Hot weather can easily deform tires and reduce their tensile strength. As for the tire itself, if the air pressure is not standard, the tire is aging, the performance is weakened, or the tire hits hard metal or other hard objects during driving, it will cause the car to burst suddenly. Therefore, it is necessary for a car to have a tire pressure monitoring system.
Tire pressure monitoring is a device for monitoring and alarming tire pressure, including "direct tire pressure monitoring system" and "indirect tire pressure monitoring system".With the tire pressure monitoring system, we can keep the tires working within the specified pressure and temperature range at any time, thereby reducing tire damage, prolonging the service life of tires, reducing fuel consumption,Reduced Suspension Wear. Some data show that when the tire pressure is insufficient, when the tire pressure drops by 10% from the normal value, the tire life will be reduced by 15%.
Seven, run-flat tires
Easy to use index: ★★★
The scientific name of the explosion-proof tire is called "deflation protection", "run-flat protection" or "run-flat protection" tire. It does not have the so-called explosion-proof function, and it cannot be explosion-proof. It has not been widely used in the market, so everyone's understanding of it is not comprehensive enough. Some businesses exaggerate its "efficacy" and even myth its function.
Under normal circumstances, the run-flat tire can rely on the hard tire sidewall to support the normal driving of the vehicle for a considerable distance when the tire is deflated or even 0 tire pressure. However, when a sharp and hard object is scratched at high speed, the tire will also blow out, so the term run-flat tire is very one-sided. It's just that the tire wall is extremely hard, which can reduce the chance of a tire blowout, especially after the temperature of the tire wall increases due to low tire pressure and long-term driving. It should be noted that when the tires are deflated, try to place the deflated tires on the rear wheels. Otherwise, if the front wheels are deflated, it will have a serious impact on the steering and overall control, which is directly related to safety.
8. Vehicle power supply
Easy to use index: ★★★
Vehicle power supply is also called power inverter, which can convert DC12V direct current into AC220V alternating current that we usually use. It can be used by general electrical appliances. For example, an external car refrigerator can be used in summer. It is a convenient power converter. . The vehicle power supply is not only suitable for the vehicle system, as long as there is a DC12V power supply, the vehicle power supply can be used to convert DC12V to AC220V alternating current, which will bring convenience to your life.
When going out or traveling by car, when there is no electricity in the suburbs, you can use the car power supply to connect to the car's power system to drive electrical appliances and power tools. It is also a must-have for car owners.
Nine, sun visor
Easy to use index: ★★★
Car sun visors, everyone knows this, is a board installed above the heads of the driver and co-pilot to prevent glare from the sun.
But many people only know that they can be used to block direct sunlight. In fact, one corner of the sun visor can be pulled out and turned to the side. When the sun shines in from the side window, the sun visor can be rotated to the side to block the sun.
10. Umbrella storage tank
Easy to use index: ★★★
This must be deeply touched by everyone. On a rainy day, I don’t know where to put the wet umbrella. Some of the door storage slots can’t be put down, but they can’t be put down stably, and they will fall off when they are moved; if they are placed on seats, carpets, and glove boxes, they will get wet all of a sudden, and water and moisture will also affect the components. service life.
Now many models that value humanization are equipped withUmbrella storage tanks are generally placed under the front and rear seat cushions, or on the door panels, which do not take up space and are very convenient.
