Self-driving vehicles and tourists

Methods/steps

You can first view Hailuogou Glacier, which is one of the many glaciers on the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain. It extends 6 kilometers into the primeval forest area, but has an altitude of only 2,850 meters. It is the lowest altitude among glaciers at the same latitude. It is also the lowest and largest marine modern glacier in Asia. Visitors with average physical abilities have the opportunity to climb the glacier in person and experience this wonderful scenery. Around the glacier, the unique landscape of glaciers, glacier lakes, subglacial rivers, ice caves, ice crevasses, ice stairs, ice mushrooms, and U-shaped glacier canyons is eye-opening.

You can visit Camp No. 1, whose landscape is dominated by large yew forests. Then we walked 8 kilometers and arrived at Camp No. 2 by the hot water ditch. Looking from a distance, it looks like a hazy sight. This is the most famous hot water boiling spring in Hailuogou. The spring water flows continuously all year round, like the Milky Way falling from the sky.

You can go to Camp No. 3. Camp No. 3 can see the spectacular Rizhao Jinshan Mountain in Gongga Mountain. The red sun rises like a rainbow, reaching straight to the sky. The scenery is spectacular and impressive. It is really a sight to behold. An ultimate enjoyment. You can also watch the white clouds passing by from a high point, as if they are overhead, it is amazing and beautiful.

Pay attention to the impact of altitude changes on your body.

Pay attention to personal travel safety.

What do you need to prepare before a long-distance self-driving trip

01 Be clear about the driving route

02 Driving in bad road conditions

03 Driving at night

04 Driving in foggy, rainy, and snowy days 05 On-board equipment 06 Thoroughly check the vehicle condition

Be sure to plan the driving route in advance before setting off, so that you are well aware of it, but who It is impossible to know all the highway conditions in the country. In this case, you have to use the highway traffic atlas. The selection of traffic atlases is very important. The information and data of most traffic atlases on the market currently cannot keep up with the development of highways. Therefore, there are often situations where there are no roads on the map but there are actually roads. Pay attention to the latest information in the traffic atlas. It is best to mark the township. The urban traffic diagram should also be as detailed as possible. It would be even better if the basic driving regulations of each city can be marked.

In addition, choose a reasonable car GPS device. With the popularity of car GPS devices and the increasingly perfect map and road information, car GPS devices have become very good equipment for self-driving travel and can be used together with maps. It will make your self-driving trip very convenient. After knowing the route, remember to be courteous and safety first~

There are many obstacles such as potholes and gravels, so the driving speed cannot be too high, otherwise the vibration of the vehicle will be intensified, which will not only cause damage to the vehicle's shock absorption system, The traveling system and other mechanical parts are damaged, which directly threatens driving safety. When there are potholes or rocks on the road, you should consider the ground clearance of the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to avoid them carefully.

When passing through soft, muddy, or waterlogged roads, you should be particularly cautious. If necessary, you should get off the car and observe. When it is clear that the wheels will not sink into the mud, you can shift to a low gear and pass slowly.

Visibility is worse when driving at night than during the day, so you must drive more carefully; when crossing, pay attention to non-motorized vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles on the right. When you are 150 meters away from the oncoming vehicle, you should change the high beam to low beam. This is both driving courtesy and a guarantee of driving safety.

Pay attention to the following points:

1. Reduce the speed;

2. Avoid frequent merging while driving;

3. Pay attention to avoid pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles;

4. Turn on the fog lights;

5. If there is water on the road, check the depth before passing.

When driving in snow, try to avoid sudden steering, sudden starts, and sudden braking. All actions should be half a beat slower than usual. When climbing a steep slope in ice and snow, pay attention to the distance between the front and rear vehicles, shift to a low gear, hold the accelerator steady and climb up with all your strength, and try not to change gears midway.

Spare parts: fully inflated spare tire, vulnerable parts (such as light bulbs, fan belts, fuses, wiper blades), engine oil, brake fluid, etc. Tools included with the vehicle: wrench, safety oil barrel, fire extinguisher, bucket (spare water), winch, tow rope, engineer shovel, vehicle air pump, insulating tape, wide tape, wire, iron wire, jack, quick tire repair fluid, pliers, warning sign , If you are in a cold area, you need to prepare antifreeze, anti-skid chains, etc.

Before departure, we need to fill up the gas in our car. And comprehensively check the condition of the vehicle, tire pressure, brake wear, whether all oils are normal, and most importantly, the working condition of the engine! Here, the professor strongly recommends that you replace the three oil filters of your engine before setting off, because you will encounter different road conditions during travel, such as traffic jams, climbing, downhill roads, etc., which will put severe tests on the engine. If the engine oil is not replaced in time, it is likely to cause the engine oil to decay and cause insufficient lubrication, thus causing permanent damage to the engine.
