Tips for car maintenance in rainy season
1, the wading speed should be well controlled, and the car should be stable and not flooded. Driving in rainy days, there is water on the road. Some people like to fly by, regardless of the "drowning" problem. At this time, you need to stop and observe the depth of the water. Don't go if you don't think the water is deeper than the front bumper. The best standard is not to exceed the height of the exhaust pipe. Of course, if it is best to go around and really need to wade through, we must pay attention not to be too fast and keep it at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. The so-called "slow water and fast sand", if the vehicle speed is too fast, the water at the front end of the vehicle will inevitably surge and enter the air intake of the engine, causing damage to the vehicle.
In addition, when vehicles enter the stagnant water road, they should be optimistic about the distance of the vehicles in front, and it is best to wait for the vehicles in front to pass before passing. But it must be remembered that once you enter the water, don't shift gears and turn off the throttle, which will lead to water in the exhaust pipe, commonly known as "choking water", which will cause engine damage. So step on the accelerator pedal slowly and don't recycle it. At this time, if you want to control the speed, if it is a manual car, you can control the speed through the clutch; If it is an automatic vehicle, it can be placed in the speed limit gear of "1" or "2". As long as the vehicle passes through the stagnant water road at a uniform speed, it will not cause unnecessary harm to the vehicle.
2, parking in summer should pay attention to, low-lying, bad under the tree.
Because there is no special parking lot or the surrounding environment is limited, some car owners have to park their cars in low-lying places. Water is most likely to accumulate in low-lying areas in rainy days, and a small amount of water will corrode the tires and wheels of automobiles, which will reduce the service life for a long time; If the rainfall is heavy, it will also cause corrosion to the vehicle site. Therefore, it is best to choose a regular parking space or a place with drainage measures when parking.
In addition, in order to reduce the direct invasion of the outside world to the car body, someone will park the car under a tree. Because summer is the best season for insects to breed on trees, and with the help of rain, a lot of debris such as shellac will accumulate on the surface of vehicles parked under trees, seriously damaging the surface of car paint. Mainly because shellac contains substances that can corrode car paint, long-term adhesion will inevitably lead to the decline of car paint luster or spots.
3. Regular maintenance is very important. Always check after driving.
In summer, in addition to more rain, the temperature of the weather is also high. After the vehicle runs for a period of time, the temperature of the body and engine is relatively high. After stopping, try to let the engine work at full speed for a few minutes, especially for turbocharged vehicles. In this way, the vehicle engine is gradually cooled, and the service life of the engine can be prolonged. Also, after getting off the bus, check the surface of the vehicle and clean up the foreign bodies on the vehicle body in time, especially the drainage holes under the front windshield of the vehicle, so as to prevent other parts from being damaged due to debris blockage. With the change of seasons, the characteristics of hot weather and frequent thunderstorms in summer are becoming more and more obvious, and car maintenance in summer has also become the service theme and hot spot of 4S stores in the near future. Due to the weather, some frequently used or heavily loaded system equipment, such as air conditioning system, lubrication system, tires, etc. , are easy to fail. At the same time, more rain and strong sunshine will also accelerate the aging of automobile paint and parts. Therefore, in addition to routine maintenance, some special maintenance should be added to nip these failures in the bud.
