【Car owner's family car knowledge】 Farewell to the hot summer, we ushered in the autumn with frequent rain and fog. In the face of the rainy autumn, car owners should not only drive carefully, but also pay attention to the inspection and maintenance of their vehicles. As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Safe travel can only be guaranteed if the vehicle is in good condition. Below, we talk about those inspections your vehicle needs to do in the fall.
1. Vehicle lights
The arrival of autumn also means that foggy days will come frequently. The foggy day is precisely the biggest trouble for driving in autumn, which seriously affects the driver's sight and poses a serious threat to driving safety. Therefore, after entering the autumn, car owners must carefully check the brightness of the lights. If they find that the lights are aging and the brightness is not enough, they should replace and upgrade in time, and put a pair of bright "eyes" on their cars.
At the same time, don’t forget to pay more attention to the weather forecast before going out in autumn, keep abreast of the weather conditions in time, and try to avoid long-distance travel in rainy and foggy days.
2. Air conditioning inspection
In the previous autumn maintenance article, I said that after a summer's use of car air conditioners, a large number of bacteria usually grow in the air conditioner pipes of the car. The driver's health.
Therefore, after entering the autumn, car owners must check the air conditioner in time, and if there is peculiar smell, they must clean and disinfect in time, so as not to endanger people's lives.
3. Battery check
In autumn, the electrode wiring of the car battery is the most prone to problems. If green oxides are found at the electrode wiring during inspection, they must be flushed with boiling water. These green oxides will cause insufficient power of the generator and make the battery in a In the state of power loss, in severe cases, the battery will be scrapped, or the car will not be able to start.
4. Tire inspection
Compared with summer, the requirements for automobile tires in autumn and winter are more stringent. If the tire tread wear is seriously lower than the wear mark, the adhesion of the tire will be greatly weakened, and driving on the water will be dangerous; at the same time, if There is damage on the tire shoulder and sidewall. When driving in the rain, the rainwater will penetrate into the ply, which will corrode the ply, reduce the strength of the ply, and eventually cause a tire blowout. After a summer, car tires, whether they are worn or otherwise, will have large discounts to varying degrees, so be sure to remember to focus on checking tires after entering the fall.
5. Brake system inspection
After entering the autumn, the car mainly pays attention to check whether the brake fluid is sufficient and whether the quality is deteriorated. When necessary, it should be refilled or replaced in time. It is necessary to frequently check whether the brakes are weakened or deviate, whether the pedaling force of the brake pedal has changed, and if necessary, clean up the pipeline part of the entire braking system.
6. Wiper inspection
The wiper system, which seems to be unimportant in summer, plays a vital role in autumn and winter. It can even be said that it is impossible to do without it. Therefore, the inspection of the wiper system in autumn cannot be ignored. First, check whether the wiper can be used normally, and then check whether the water tank is filled with glass water. Try not to add tap water, so as to avoid the water in the water tank after winter. ice, causing blockages in waterways.
7. Window defogging
When the weather turns cold in autumn, white frost will appear when the temperature is low. In this season, you should pay special attention to whether the air flow from the defrosting outlet under the front windshield is normal and whether the heat is sufficient. If there is a problem, it must be solved in time, otherwise Once there is a problem with the windshield defrosting air outlet, it will bring many troubles and unsafe factors to driving in winter.
8. Antifreeze coolant
The freezing point of car antifreeze is different. Car owners need to choose antifreeze with different freezing points according to the minimum temperature of the place where the vehicle is used. If it is the weather in Shenzhen, the coolant is basically not needed in winter, but the owner will inevitably drive to the north in winter, so it is best to replace the antifreeze coolant after entering the autumn.
