【The owner's family car knowledge】How to maintain cars has become a topic of concern to car owners. After the vehicle has passed the warranty period, some malfunctions will inevitably occur. Cars need "three-point repair, seven-point maintenance", that is, through active inspection and maintenance, to find and eliminate some initial, potential and hidden faults. The owner’s house will introduce autumn maintenance measures.
How to maintain a car has become a topic of concern to car owners. After the vehicle has passed the warranty period, some malfunctions will inevitably occur. Cars need "three-point repair, seven-point maintenance", that is, through active inspection and maintenance, to discover and eliminate some initial, potential, and hidden faults.
Maintenance 1: The body is often cleaned
Whether it is a scooter or a tool vehicle, the body is clean and tidy, especially in autumn and winter, there are more frost, fog, rain and snow. Therefore, pay more attention to the protection of the paint surface of the body. Professionals also suggest that if the scratch area is not large and the maintenance fee is not high, try not to take insurance (rest assured), which can save the cost of the next insurance; of course, if the scratch area is too large or in a very obvious location, It is still necessary to take normal insurance and spray paint in time to avoid rust. When the season changes, it is best for car owners to do a thorough cleaning of the vehicle surface, from cleaning, polishing to waxing, etc.
Maintenance 2: Measure tire pressure often
Tires are an essential item for every maintenance. First of all, there must be a normal tire pressure. In autumn and winter, the temperature is low, and the air pressure must be properly supplemented to keep it within the specified air pressure range. The proper tire pressure has a small contact surface with the road surface and low friction, which not only effectively protects the tire surface, but also improves the fuel economy of the vehicle. If the car owner does not know what the normal tire pressure should be, you can refer to the "User Manual", which has the ideal tire pressure for the tire. Second, clean the tire surface regularly. Due to the cold weather, the hard impurities in the tire can easily puncture the tire and make it leak air. When going to the store for maintenance, be sure to raise the vehicle to check the tire surface.
Maintenance three: defogging must have tricks
It is quite useful to master one or two good defogging methods. For example, prepare a dry towel in the car and wipe the glass while parking. In addition to this original method, the air-conditioning hot air blowing method can also be used, but the mist disappears slowly with this method. In short, car owners can choose according to their own habits and preferences.
Maintenance four: pay attention to antifreeze
Anti-freezing is the most concerned thing for car owners in winter, especially for northern car owners, a good start means saving time, effort and money. First, replace the antifreeze in time. Antifreeze has the functions of antifreeze, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, and anti-scaling. However, when the freezing point of antifreeze exceeds the outdoor temperature, it is easy to freeze and eventually cause the water tank to be damaged by freezing. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the freezing point of the antifreeze in time. If the antifreeze is used in summer, tap water should be replaced in time. Second, a good start-up system is necessary, especially for pickup trucks. For example, the original German Bosch GSK type glow plugs used by Fengjun pickups can make it start successfully at minus 35°C. In addition, pay attention to parking and avoid the wind, cover the car jacket in time, and start slowly.
Maintenance five: check the chassis and air conditioner
Compared with the body and tire pressure, the detection of the chassis is more important. Long-term driving is not only easy to cause more dirt on the chassis, but also a certain accidental driving will cause the bottom to be supported, and may even cause oil leakage from the sump gearbox. Therefore, special inspection of the chassis is indispensable. The air conditioner is no exception. The high load operation in summer makes the air conditioner condenser prone to rust. Cleaning the air conditioner not only helps to extend its service life, but also provides a good preparation for the use of the air conditioner in winter and reduces peculiar smell.
