Winter frosts, fog, rain and snow, low temperatures, complex environment, have a greater impact on driving safety. Drivers should improve their understanding of safe driving in winter, strengthen the knowledge and skills of winter driving, and prevent frost, slip, and accidents, and master the methods for dealing with common problems in winter driving. Never drive in other seasons in the winter.
1. The vehicle maintenance season should be done for the season maintenance of the vehicle. The vehicle brakes, steering, driving system and gas pipelines, water pipelines, oil pipelines and other components should be thoroughly inspected and maintained to equip the vehicle with necessary antifreeze equipment. Add oil and gear oil as required.
(1) Antifreeze. During the daily maintenance of the vehicle, it is possible to add normal water to the antifreeze, and the antifreeze must be replaced. If the coolant is insufficient, it will make up, otherwise the engine water temperature will be too high, resulting in damage to the engine parts. Replace the antifreeze solution in strict accordance with the product use method. The key is to pay attention to the clean water as much as possible, exhaust the gas as much as possible, do not produce "air resistance", to increase the foot as much as possible, after the vehicle is running for a while Observe the situation and make up the amount. To do diligent inspection, and replenish it.
(2) The battery is warm and charged. Most of the batteries in the car are lead-acid batteries. In the cold environment, the battery is often cooled due to freezing, and appropriate measures can be taken to keep the battery warm and charged.
(3) Pay attention to check the tires. In winter, the temperature is cold and the rubber is relatively hard and brittle in a low temperature environment. Therefore, whether the air pressure is suitable directly affects the life of the tire and the safety of the vehicle. If the air pressure is too low, the degree of bending of the tire wall will increase, and the low temperature will easily break the rubber of the sidewall wall; if the air pressure is too high, the grip of the tire will be lowered. Pay attention to check that the inflation of each tire is balanced. It is also conceivable to replace vehicle tyres with winter tyres in winter.
(4) Install snow chains in snow and ice weather. In ice and snow weather, you should install the snow chain before you travel. Do not install it after encountering the snow and ice road. Because the temporary installation of the snow chain is more troublesome than the installation in advance, it is not conducive to safety. Park the vehicle in a safe place before installation and disassembly. If you are on a busy road, you need to set up the necessary traffic warning signs. After installing the snow chain, the driving speed should not exceed >50Km/hour, and pay attention to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration as much as possible. You can also consider carrying anti-slip tools such as iron shovel and iron shovel.
2. Give the vehicle more winter "physical examination"
Winter driving has more loss on vehicle parts. The safety installation of the vehicle should be checked frequently, such as steering, braking, lighting, horns, wipers and other key parts, thus eliminating safety hazards. Focus on the following aspects:
(1) Checking the liquid conditions such as fuel, engine lubricating oil and brake fluid;
(2) Check all lights, including lighting and signal mounting;
(3) Check if the tire pressure is normal and the crown is damaged;
(4) Check the engine hose for cracks or leaks;
(5) Check the fan belt for damage and whether the tightness is appropriate.
(6) Check if there are snow chains installed, or carry anti-slip tools such as iron shovel and iron shovel.
3, timely understanding of road conditions information
Here to remind everyone: before driving, advance the road condition information through TV, radio, etc., and prepare for it in advance.
