Tips

Road Book——Before setting off, prepare a road book based on the designed travel route. It contains approximate accommodation locations and determines the scenic spots and places to visit. Remarks on items required. The choice of driving route should follow the principle of highway first, then national highway. In addition, you should ask local people during the journey and readjust the content of the road book if necessary.

Winter Travel Guide

Ski resorts are generally concentrated in the northern suburbs of Beijing, and the temperature is colder than in the city. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners drive their cars to an authorized maintenance service station for a comprehensive pre-holiday inspection and maintenance before traveling.

1. Check the braking system: see if the braking distance is normal, and replace the brake pads and clutch plates if necessary.

2. Check the braking system and steering system to see if the brake lights can light up normally and whether the steering wheel is abnormally shaking or deviating.

3. Check the tire tread wear: to prevent tire blowouts while driving at high speed, bring a spare tire with you. Measure the tire pressure and keep it within the normal range. If the tire pressure is too low, it may cause a tire blowout at high speed.

4. Choose a lower grade antifreeze coolant to prevent the cylinder from freezing and cracking.

5. Finally check the battery, check the power condition and the connection of the battery head, whether there is looseness, corrosion, leakage or excessive alkali formation, etc. If there is any problem, the battery should be reinforced or replaced in time.

Tips

Even if it is a short self-driving trip, you should bring along the tools with you, especially jacks, tire wrenches, light bulbs, fuses, etc., in case of emergency. Of course, don’t forget to bring the contact information of the vehicle’s authorized repair station or car rescue card, as well as the insurance company’s insurance hotline.

Winter Driving Guide

When traveling in winter, the temperature is low, and you may encounter complex road conditions such as ice and snow, which increase the risk factor of driving. Expert suggestions:

1. Warm up the car first. In winter, when the temperature is low, the oil viscosity increases and it becomes difficult to flow. After starting the engine, keep the engine at 1100 rpm for a few minutes and let the car warm up before starting. Do not press the accelerator when the car is warm and do not allow the engine to rev too high.

2. Refuel slowly when starting and driving. The adhesion of the ice and snow road is small, and it is easy for the tires to slip or the vehicle to slide sideways when accelerating.

3. Shift gears frequently while driving, and pay attention to the gear selection and oil separation. If the gear is too low or too high, it is easy to lose control of the car.

4. When parking, be careful to avoid potholes and wet places to avoid water accumulation that freezes the wheels. At the same time, avoid parking on the grass to prevent the high temperature of the three-way catalytic converter from igniting the dead grass.
