Spring in Vientiane The beginning of summer grows into | summer

According to Jinchang public security traffic police:

Summer is coming,

The days are getting longer and the temperature is getting higher

Vehicle breakdowns, bad weather

The hidden danger of road traffic accidents has increased

How to drive safely in summer

Jinchang traffic police to give you a few tricks:

Prevent motor vehicle performance failures

Due to the high temperature in summer, the requirements for vehicle performance are also correspondingly improved, before the summer comes, you should go to a professional vehicle repair shop to carry out sufficient summer vehicle maintenance on your car, comprehensively check the performance of the vehicle, and lay a good foundation for safe driving in summer. While doing a good job in the summer maintenance of the vehicle, in the daily driving process, you should also develop the following driving inspection habits:

Take care of the engine

At high temperatures, wear, scratches and aging of parts are worse than at room temperature. In the process of driving, we should pay attention to the cooling measures of the cooling system, and the coolant and oil evaporate rapidly in summer, and should be checked in time and replenished in time.

Engines often drive air conditioning and cool, consuming 30% more power and 15% more gasoline than usual. Stop and rest as much as possible to choose a cool place, and open the engine cover to ventilate and dissipate heat.

Care of the tires

The law of thermal expansion and contraction is no exception to the gas in the tire. When high temperature exposure and continuous operation, pay attention to checking the tires of the vehicle at any time to see if the tires are bulging badly, and regularly measure the tire pressure.

Vehicles should not be placed near or in contact with petroleum products, chemicals and other materials that affect the deterioration of rubber. Do not turn the steering wheel after parking.

Check the tank water tank

Under high temperature, the evaporation of oil and water will increase, and before leaving the car every day, check whether the fuel tank cover is tight, and pay attention to prevent oil leakage from the oil pipe.

The water level of the water tank, the oil level height of the crankcase, the height of the brake fluid in the brake pump, and the density and liquid level of the electrolyte in the battery should be checked frequently. Once you find that there is something unusual or not in line with the specifications, you should add and adjust it in time.

Replace the lubricating oil

Lubricating oil is susceptible to heat thinning, oxidation resistance becomes poor, easy to deteriorate, and even cause failures such as burning tile shafts.

Therefore, the crankcase and gearbox should be replaced with summer lubricating oil, and the quantity and oil quality of the lubricating oil should be checked frequently, and replaced in time.

Add antifreeze

In the summer, it is often thought that the antifreeze is not used, and many people use ordinary tap water instead. Experts believe that this approach is very inappropriate.

Because antifreeze is the main working medium in the automotive engine cooling system, its main role is to make the engine cooling system through forced circulation, so that the engine maintains a suitable working temperature.

Prevents brake failures

In the summer, relying on hydraulic braking (pneumatic braking, shaft brake) motor vehicles should pay attention to whether the brake fluid is sufficient, because of the relationship between high temperatures, all kinds of liquids are more likely to evaporate, so in the summer should be timely shortened brake fluid replacement cycle.

Driving in mountainous areas, especially in downhill sections, it is strictly forbidden to glide in neutral gear, because the long-term use of brake brakes will make the temperature of the brake friction pads or brake shoes too high, so that there will be brake failure and high temperature spontaneous combustion.

Explosion-proof tires

Sudden tire burst is a major hidden danger in summer driving safety.

When the driver encounters a sudden tire burst, both hands should grasp the steering wheel, quickly lift the accelerator pedal, and try to control the vehicle in a straight line, and avoid sharply turning the steering wheel or sharply pedaling the brake pedal in the opposite direction.

In the case of controlling the direction, try to take the method of "grabbing the gear" to reduce the gear and slow down, and use the engine pliers to make the vehicle slow down.

Driving points on rainy days

Driving on rainy days, pay attention to maintaining the distance between the vehicles, in case of water on the road must slow down and slow down, to prevent side slippage.

The front windshield of the vehicle is usually provided with a flowing water trough and drainage holes, but after winter and spring, the flowing water trough often deposits a lot of mud and leaves, which is very easy to block the drainage hole, when too much water can not be discharged smoothly from the drainage tank, it will enter the car May endanger the vehicle circuit, resulting in the failure or damage of the electronic control system.

Night driving points

Before driving at night in summer, all headlights and mirrors should be checked to ensure that the headlights are normal and the mirrors are clean.

To use the lights correctly, when 100 meters away from the other party's car, switch to low beam lights: do not look directly at the glare emitted by the oncoming car to avoid visual errors.

Long-distance driving points

In hot weather, fatigue is more likely.

Most people often have a lunch break in the hot season, but drivers engaged in long-distance transportation do not have time to take a lunch break in order to hurry and grab income, and it is easy to doze off when driving, which will cause the phenomenon of "high temperature hypnosis", so that it is impossible to correctly estimate the safe driving distance.

Before driving a vehicle for a long time, ensure adequate sleep, do not engage in labor-intensive work, be healthy, and be in a good mood. When driving on the highway, do not drive continuously for more than four hours, and the rest time should not be less than 20 minutes.

In addition, the high temperature down the car, the driver is irritable, easy to cause accidents, when the weather is hot, it is best to prepare some towels or wet paper towels, prepare some anti-heat drugs, pay attention to the adjustment of emotions, do not drive gambling cars and fatigue cars.

Prevent spontaneous combustion of vehicles

Summer temperatures are high, and spontaneous combustion of cars occurs from time to time. Generally speaking, spontaneous combustion of automobiles is mostly caused by leakage, short circuit, oil leakage and other reasons.

Drivers are particularly reminded not to place inflammable and explosive materials such as lighters in the car, which is due to the fact that after the vehicle has undergone strong sunlight exposure, the temperature in the car is enough to make the lighter and other flammable and explosive materials explode or spontaneously combust and cause fire.

In the driving, once we find that there is a scorched smell, black smoke, etc., we must keep calm and deal with it in accordance with the principle of "the car pulls over, the people evacuate, that is, the alarm".
