China is vast, there are many special landforms, and there are many mountain ranges, hills, plateaus and other landforms. This has created many places with many long high slopes and some long downhill slopes. For many car owners, long downhill is a very dangerous road condition. Driving in such a place, the brakes may not work at all. And even if the brakes work, the brakes of the big car behind may not work.
Xiao Liu's hometown is in the mountains, and he has to go home every once in a while. What gives Xiao Liu the most headache is a pair of long uphill and long downhill sections in the middle of the way. Especially in winter, it may slip uphill and cannot brake the car downhill. In the process of going uphill and downhill, Xiao Liu's heart is like riding a roller coaster. However, it is also in so many practical operations that Xiao Liu gradually mastered the know-how. After passing through that long downhill, I was not afraid at all, and I felt a little familiar.
Once Xiao Liu's relatives asked him to do something and take Xiao Liu's car. After that long downhill, Xiao Liu's relatives tightly grasped the support point in their hands, and kept chanting in their mouths to let Xiao Liu slow down and slow down again. To the great surprise of the relatives, this long downhill was very good under Xiao Liu's operation, and the two of them successfully passed this section of the road. After passing through this section, relatives asked Xiao Liu how he could pass such a terrible long downhill so smoothly.
Xiao Liu told relatives not to turn off the fire when driving on the long downhill. If the engine is turned off, there is no brake boost, and there is no steering wheel power. If the ignition is turned off, walk long downhill. The car may trigger the steering wheel lock. And other devices are locked as well. If a traffic accident is caused at this time and the car is violently hit, the airbags will not pop out, let alone protect the safety of the owner. Xiao Liu told relatives that the following 4 steps must be mastered.
First, play double flash, and slam the horn
When the owner walks this long downhill road, he must turn on the double flash in advance, and also press the horn to remind the surrounding vehicles not to get close, and the car is going downhill. Before going downhill, if there is a sleeping person in the car, wake up the sleeping person, and if there is no seat belt, be sure to let them fasten all the seat belts. In the process of the owner going downhill, it is likely that there are cars going downhill in front of and behind. The purpose of playing double flash is to make the other party notice that his car is also going downhill. When controlling the steering wheel, you can deliberately avoid it.
Second, downshift
The owner must downshift before going downhill, but can not turn off the car, can use as low as the low gear, let the car slowly drive down. At the same time, the owner must grasp the steering wheel, control the direction of the car, and pay attention to the distance between the front and back of the car that is going downhill.
Third, point brake + handbrake
If the owner's car is a big car, neither of these things is useful, but if it is a small car, the owner first grasps the steering wheel to control the direction, and then releases the brakes. But don't stop the horn, continue to play double flash, so that the car in front of and behind notices itself.
Fourth, rub the roadside isolation belt with the side of the car
If the speed of the car cannot be controlled or it is too late to control at this time, you can consider using the side of the car to rub the side of the road to bring about deceleration. At this time, the owner should not consider the problem of car damage, and life is always more important than the car.
