It doesn't matter how the car goes to and from get off work every day, after all, the speed is not fast, but the high-speed tire is the most important, so it is also the most important inspection item.
The first thing to check the tire is to observe whether there are obvious scars, bulges, or major damage to the cord on the outside of the tire. If there is, it is not recommended to drive a bad tire on high speed.
In addition, if you see a big stone stuck in the tread pattern, it is recommended to pick it out. This will still affect the grip and noise.
The Spring Festival is coming soon, if you have money but not, you can go home for the New Year. At this time, when you go to the 4S shop to check the car, you often can’t even get in the queue, and there are some busy people who don’t have time directly. Then take 5 minutes to do the self-check. Maybe it’s not as comprehensive as the 4S shop, but it can still be ruled out. Less hidden dangers.
The first step of self-examination: check tire pressure and tire wounds
It doesn't matter how the car goes to and from get off work every day, after all, the speed is not fast, but the high-speed tire is the most important, so it is also the most important inspection item.
The first thing to check the tire is to observe whether there are obvious scars, bulges, or major damage to the cord on the outside of the tire. If there is, it is not recommended to drive a bad tire on high speed.
In addition, if you see a big stone stuck in the tread pattern, it is recommended to pick it out. This will still affect the grip and noise.
Monitor the tire pressure after there is no problem with the outside of the tire. At this time, you need a tire pressure gauge. I suggest that every car owner have one. Taobao is very cheap. For example, I use the tire pressure gauge in the emergency kit to measure it. After the test, compare the standard tire pressure. , Don’t show up too much difference. The basic problem is less than 0.2 from the standard. The tire pressure of the left and right tires should be smaller. If the difference is too large, it is recommended to adjust the tire pressure.
The second step of self-examination: check the glass of water
The windshield glass may mean something dirty, especially on dusty roads. The consumption of glass water is very fast, so it is necessary to ensure enough glass water.
What you add depends on your own needs. Students from the north must add regular glass water.
In fact, many 4S shops and repair shops in the South directly pour purified water. If you are interested, you might as well prepare it yourself. Of course, the requirement here is to ensure that the glass water inside is sufficient.
How to add it? In fact, it's very simple. Find this wiper-like logo from the cabin and pour it in.
The third step of self-examination: check the spare tire/warning plate/tire change tool
Before running a long distance, the tail box cover, which was basically not opened much before, needs to be opened to take a look. Some Ma Daha may find it troublesome to put some important objects at home.
First, check if the hazard warning sign is present. This is a must. If you encounter a traffic police inspecting a car, there will be fines in some places, and you will not be able to pass the annual review.
Then check whether the whole set of tire changing tools are present, and don't drop jacks and other important objects. Finally, if you have time, see if the spare tire has enough air.
Of course we hope that we won't be able to use these, but if there are no such things on the highway, the risk factor will soar, so we must check it clearly.
The fourth step of self-examination: check the lights and defog/wiper
Whether from south to north or north to south, the road conditions are changeable. It often happens that after passing through a tunnel, it is like entering a fairyland, and the visibility is much worse than you think.
At this time, the ability to quickly turn on the fog lights and double flash lights is very important. I know that many friends don't know how to use fog lights.
In addition, it is rainy and cold. At this time, the car is very prone to fog. These may not have been encountered by friends driving in the south. It is also important to learn to use your own car to quickly defog.
Having said so much, it takes only 5 minutes to get things done easily after the inspection. Only by doing some homework before getting on the highway can you be prepared. Of course, if conditions permit, it is safer to go to a 4S shop for a full-body check.
