Be prepared to avoid major accidents. Today I will share with you some practical tips for using a car in snow, so that you can easily cope with winter travel!
Due to the low temperature in winter, the driving environmentIt is also different from other seasons.It is different, so it is still necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the car before winter.This comprehensive inspection includes many items, such as: replacing antifreeze. Antifreeze is valid for two years. Expired antifreeze will cause cylinder corrosion and damage the engine.check the battery at the same time, replenish the battery electrolyte in time, and clean the battery terminals.
Before driving in snow, be sure to check the vehicle's anti-skid performance. Inspection methods include checking whether tire pressure is normal, checking tire wear and confirming whether the vehicle is equipped with anti-skid devices. If the tire pressure of the vehicle is too low, the tire contact area will become smaller and the adhesion will be reduced; serious tire wear will affect the grip; and anti-skid devices can effectively enhance the stability of the vehicle.
On icy and snowy roads, it is common for vehicles to have difficulty starting, and they can easily slip.Or get stuck,Especially for rear-wheel drive models, it will be particularly difficult after losing control.Dangerif you don’t control the direction well, the tail will drift very seriously..Therefore, when starting on icy or snowy roads, the pressure on the accelerator should be lighter.softerSome, be careful not to press the accelerator to start, it is easy toavoidThe phenomenon of sideslip.
Snowy roads are slippery and muddy, especially in some extreme situations such as going up and downhill. The car cannot stop at all. If you brake suddenly at this time, it is likely to cause a rear-end collision. The correct approach is to put your right foot on the brake pedal as much as possible when not stepping on the accelerator, and maintain a relatively stable and slightly low speed. If you need to brake, do not brake suddenly. You need to use a spot brake method, and downshift while applying the brakes to let the engine brake assist the braking.
In snowy weather, use lights correctly when driving. When driving during the day, you should turn on the wide beam and low beam lights to improve the recognition of the vehicle; when driving at night, you need to turn on the high beam to enhance the lighting effect. In addition, when encountering haze weather, fog lights should be turned on to improve visibility. Before traveling, choose an appropriate driving route based on the weather forecast. Try to avoid driving on slippery road sections such as steep slopes and narrow bridges, and try to choose rutted routes to avoid accidents caused by blind adventures.

It would be even better if your car happens to be equipped with a four-wheel drive system, but this cannot be taken lightly, although with these two blessings, it will be better than other The car model has better grip and ability to get out of trouble, but it is better to pay attention to what will happen on the road than when there is no snow on the road every day.
