During the Spring Festival, many public transportation has reduced the frequency of departures, and more car owners will choose to drive to visit relatives and friends. In order to prevent accidents, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle before the Spring Festival.
Studies have shown that many accidents occur on highways and that the casualty rate is high. Therefore, before the long-distance journey, be sure to do a very detailed inspection of tires, brake pads, lamps, oil, air conditioning filters, four-wheel positioning, chassis and batteries.
First of all, to check whether the tire cracks, aging and hardening and other phenomena, if necessary, need to replace the new tire; when checking the brake pads, pay attention to the wear limit sign, reach or close to the sign, need to replace the brake pads; check whether the lights are intact, it is necessary to prepare several commonly used bulbs; check the oil is mainly to check whether the amount is enough, to see if the engine coolant, wiper, glass water and oil, brake oil, steering oil is in the normal oil level.
However, there are many families who choose to go out during the Chinese New Year. Although the maintenance of the 4S shop is more comprehensive, but the waiting time is inevitably a little long, can the owner check the basic situation of the vehicle himself?
Of course, yes, in fact, every car has a maintenance cycle, the owner only needs to do maintenance of the car according to the set cycle timed. Owners who are not afraid of trouble can check some basic items in person before traveling.
In addition, clean and disinfect before departure. This can not only clean up the home for the New Year, but also clean up the stains that have accumulated for a long time and avoid damaging the paint film on the surface of the car. Affected by the repeated epidemics, be sure to wipe the door handles, interiors and other frequently touched places with disinfectant before departure.
For new energy vehicles, it should be noted that the battery is active, and many places are still in low temperature weather. The lithium-ion battery carried by the vehicle is more sensitive to temperature changes, and the lower temperature will reduce its activity, which will affect the charging and discharging efficiency, and the problem of "the mileage of new energy vehicles in winter is greatly reduced".
Therefore, before using the car, new energy owners can start the battery preheating function through the car machine or exclusive APP in advance. In addition to this, minimize additional electricity consumption when using electricity. If conditions permit, the owner can replace the air conditioner with functions such as seat heating or steering wheel heating.
After the Spring Festival holiday, vehicle inspection and maintenance can be carried out once. This includes a tire inspection to see if there are cracks or foreign bodies on the surface of the tire, and whether there are deviations in the four-wheel positioning. The brake check is to find out whether the wear situation, brake tubing, brake master pump, and sub-pump are intact. Leakage inspection is to see if there is leakage in the engine, gearbox and other large parts.
