Summer Car Maintenance Tips

China Nissan distributor manufacturer introduces you to summer car maintenance tips.

Check wiper

On rainy days, the overall light is not good, and rainwater hits the windshield, which will make the vision worse. If the wiper fails, there is no way to remove the water mist on the front windshield, which will be great for the driver. Impact, driving safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the driver should check the quality of the wiper before going out and start the vehicle after confirming that there is no problem.

Keep an adequate safety distance

As the rain reduces the light transmittance, the visible distance is greatly shortened, and the visibility is greatly reduced, which brings great difficulties for the driver to correctly observe the passing vehicles and pedestrians and choose the driving route. Therefore, the driver must appropriately reduce the driving speed, increase the following distance, and turn on the headlights of the car.

Drive slowly and reduce overtaking

Because the road is wet and slippery in the rain, it will have a certain impact on the braking performance of the vehicle. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the braking distance will become longer. If the braking is not timely, it may cause some rear-end collisions. Side slip and drift appear. Therefore, no matter whether the road is wide or narrow or the road condition is good or bad, you should try to use second or third gear when driving in the rain, and the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers per hour. Drive in the specified lane, reduce back and forth merging, and always pay attention to the front and rear vehicles and yourself. The distance between the vehicles and the psychological preparation for various emergency measures.

Prevent cars from wading

When a vehicle is passing over a road with flooded water, under an overpass, a deep tunnel, etc., the driver should not dodge left or right, or rush over quickly, but should stop and check the depth of the water, which exceeds the exhaust Tube, it is easy to cause the vehicle to stall; the water depth exceeds the bumper, and water is easy to enter. Therefore, if the water depth should be detoured, the speed of the car should be slowed down if the water is shallow. Do not cause too much water splash, which may increase the actual wading depth and flood the ignition system.

Do not start the vehicle after stalling

If the engine stalls due to water ingress, never start the vehicle again and leave the vehicle in place and wait to be towed away. What a vehicle is most afraid of during operation is to suck water into the combustion chamber, because once water enters the combustion chamber, due to the incompressibility of the water, it will cause the engine to produce a fatal hazard of the top valve or top piston connecting rod during operation; The loss is very serious, and the engine overhaul is inevitable.

Crankshaft

Avoid neutral when going downhill

On rainy days, when the vehicle is going downhill, avoid neutral gear and drive in a gear according to the speed of the vehicle. If tires are slipping, don't panic and never step on the brake pedal again. Manually geared vehicles should quickly reduce to a low-speed gear and use the engine braking force to reduce the speed.

The high concentration of thoughts and attention to pedestrians

When it rains, many pedestrians hold umbrellas and wear raincoats when riding non-motorized vehicles. Their sight, hearing, and reaction are restricted. They sometimes run rampant in order to drive on the road. They often panic and slip when the vehicle is approaching, making drivers caught off guard. When encountering this situation, the driver should slow down, be calm and cautious, observe carefully, avoid patiently, maintain sufficient vertical and horizontal spacing, and be prepared for braking. If necessary, choose a safe place to stop, and don’t be impatient with pedestrians. And non-motorized vehicles.

Turn on the lights

In the event of heavy rain, the driver should turn on the headlights, position lights and rear position lights, and drive the vehicle off the road or park in a safe place.

Tips

If you are trapped in the car, you only need to pull out the seat headrest and tap the side glass with two sharp plugs. If you have less strength, you can insert the sharp plug between the side glass and the door panel, and then force it outwards. Break the glass to escape.
