After the snow is clear, how to maintain the open parking vehicle? Industry insiders support

Changsha Evening News Palm Changsha December 28 (All-media reporter Liu Qi intern Cheng Yunyu) "The car was parked outside for two days, and it could not start normally. Recently, Ms. Zhang, a citizen, encountered such a troublesome matter. A snowfall caught many Changsha citizens off guard - car parking in the open air, snow over the sky, how to maintain? On December 28, the reporter interviewed industry insiders on this issue.

At present, there are still some car owners who have snow on their cars that have not been cleared. Zhao Jun, a vehicle repair and maintenance personnel of a brand 4S shop in Zhongnan Automobile World, introduced that there are skills in clearing the snow of vehicles. "When the windshield snow is thick before winter, don't use a windshield to remove snow immediately. Many car owners will habitually open the wiper when they see snow, which can easily damage the wiper, especially in freezing weather. Even if the wiper does not have obvious failures after snow removal, it is easy to hurt the rubber strip of the wiper. Zhao Jun reminded that the correct way to do it is to start the car first, open the hot air, blow open the front window glass, and then use a brush or towel to remove the snow. Wait until the snow is basically cleared and the ice and snow on the windshield melts, and the owner can use the wiper normally. When using tools to remove snow and ice, try to move in the same direction, never scraping back and forth to prevent hard objects remaining on the glass from scratching the glass. In addition, some impatient car owners like to use hot water to thaw, which can easily cause the window glass to break and the wiper to deform. Moreover, the sudden heat and sudden heat damage to the body paint surface is also very large, so it is recommended that the owner do not use it.

After snowfall, the vehicle is most vulnerable to damage is the paint. "Snow water, especially snow melting agents, contains high salt and a variety of chemical components, once splashed on the body and chassis, if not cleaned in time, it will bring serious corrosion to the paint, car chassis and tires." Zhao Jun reminded that it is best to "take a bath" of the car in time after the sunny day, but the winter car wash should try to choose a time with a higher temperature, try not to wash the car when the temperature is below 0 ° C, so as to prevent the residual water ice in the door cracks, window seams and rearview mirrors. "If these parts are frozen, don't worry, the owner can drive the car to the basement, garage and other places with a slightly higher temperature, and it will naturally dissolve after ten minutes."

In addition, the battery of vehicles in low temperature weather is prone to the phenomenon of "power loss", which is common in some old cars or used cars. "In the event of such a phenomenon, in addition to using other vehicles to charge the car battery and using emergency power to charge, you can also call for roadside assistance." Zhao Jun reminded that the majority of car owners should have an understanding of the maintenance knowledge of the car battery in peacetime, try to avoid long-term parking in low temperature weather, develop a good habit of turning off electronic equipment before stopping the ignition, and replace and maintain the battery on time.
