It's just spring

It's not yet a hot summer

Driving is not

Don't you have to prevent fire?

No, spring driving

You still have to be careful of spontaneous combustion!

What are the signs of a vehicle fire?

1

The body has a peculiar smell

If there is a smell of rubber, plastic paste, battery odor, etc., it is necessary to check it quickly, find the problem as soon as possible and solve it immediately, which can effectively prevent spontaneous combustion accidents.

2

The meter light does not light up

When entering the car, if it is found that the instrument does not light up after ignition, it is mostly caused by a short circuit in the line, and a short circuit in the line is one of the main causes of car fire. In the above situation, you should immediately park the car in a safe area, quickly find out the cause of the abnormality or seek help from professional maintenance personnel.

3

Smoke came from the front of the car

When you see smoke coming out of the front of the car, it's about to spontaneously combust the rhythm!

4

Increased fuel consumption

If the fuel consumption of the car suddenly increases significantly than usual, and it is under normal use, there may be a problem with the oil circuit, and it must be paid attention to. Spontaneous combustion can also be triggered by sudden difficulties in starting the car or a noticeable increase in shaking while driving.

We can't know

But it can be prevented!

Causes of spontaneous combustion of vehicles

1

Circuit aging. After a period of use, the vehicle may have aging circuits, falling off the insulation layer, cracking of the rubber, etc., which will cause short circuits or oil leakage, resulting in spontaneous combustion.

2

The engine is not cleaned. If the engine compartment is not cleaned for a long time, the accumulated oil sludge will prevent the cabin from dissipating heat, resulting in high temperature in the engine compartment or continuous heating of the contact points caused by impurities and oil stains.

3

Unauthorized modification. If the vehicle is modified without permission, the circuit and oil circuit of the vehicle may change, and the modification that does not meet the specifications and standards will increase the safety risk of the vehicle and easily lead to spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.

4

Place dangerous goods. Lighters, perfumes, power banks and other items are easy to expand and explode under long-term high temperature sunlight, and magnifying glasses, reading glasses, etc. will produce high temperatures due to light concentration, which will ignite the interior of the vehicle.

05

The tires are overheating. When the vehicle is driven for a long time, it is easy to cause the tires to overheat, which can cause spontaneous combustion accidents.
