It's getting colder and colder. Pay attention to these when driving in winter!

Winter arrived in a blink of an eye. In winter, it is foggy, rainy and snowy, and the temperature is low, which increases many difficulties for drivers and brings many unfavorable factors to driving safety. But as long as you tighten the string of "safety first", you and your car will be sure to be safe. Understand the precautions for driving in winter, so as to make preparations in advance.

1, keep a safe distance.

When driving, the distance between cars should be increased, and the distance between cars on ice and snow roads should be more than 2~3 times that on dry roads. Be sure to drive along the rut of the car in front, and don't overtake, turn sharply or brake suddenly. Be prepared in advance when parking, use less emergency braking, and try to use the braking function of the engine to control the speed. When it is necessary to accelerate or decelerate, step on or release the accelerator slowly to prevent the driving wheel from slipping due to sudden acceleration or deceleration.

2, taboo to hit the steering wheel.

When turning on the snowy road, you should slow down in advance, turn the steering wheel slowly and pass at a uniform speed to avoid sudden cold turning, otherwise it will easily cause the car body to get out of control, affect the traffic of other vehicles and even cause accidents.

3, pay attention to control the speed.

Driving fast in rain and snow is the most taboo. Even at high speed, it is best to keep the speed below 40 km/h, and be more cautious once the road freezes. In addition, when driving on ice and snow roads, you must be careful when using brakes. You can take some braking to reduce the speed and try to avoid emergency braking. You can use the resistance of the engine to help slow down and brake, and you can use the hand brake flexibly if necessary. Prevent the vehicle from slipping or swinging its tail due to braking.

4. Start under low temperature and severe cold weather conditions.

Before starting, warm up the vehicle and wait until the engine temperature reaches above 50 degrees Celsius before starting. Vehicles parked in the open air have a high viscosity of lubricating oil, so they should drive at a low speed for a certain distance after starting, and then gradually increase the speed after the engine temperature rises. When you start, slow down the throttle and accelerate slowly. Excessive force can easily cause the driving wheel to slip with the road surface. When stopping halfway, you should choose a dry, sunny and sheltered place and take necessary anti-freezing measures. If you stop for a long time without draining water, start the engine in time to keep the engine at a certain temperature to prevent the water in the cooling system from freezing the cylinder block or cooling system parts.

5. Enhance the awareness of driving safety in winter.

In winter, frost, fog, rain, snow, low temperature and complex environment have great influence on driving safety. Drivers should improve their understanding of safe driving in winter, strengthen their learning of driving knowledge and skills in winter, and prevent freezing, skidding and accidents.

6, careful through the bridge tunnel

Drivers must pay attention to slow down ahead of time when passing through the "blind areas" of expressway tunnels and bridges, and don't let their guard down just because there is no ice in the road ahead. These road sections are often particularly prone to accidents.

7, antifreeze

When replacing antifreeze, you should operate in strict accordance with the use method of the product. The key is to pay attention to putting clean water as much as possible, exhausting air as much as possible, not causing "air resistance", and filling it as much as possible. After starting the vehicle for a period of time, observe the situation and make up the right amount. Always check and supplement.

8, battery preheating and charging

Automotive batteries are mostly lead-acid batteries, which often reduce their efficiency due to freezing in cold environment. Appropriate measures can be taken to keep the temperature of batteries and charge them.

9. Dispel the fog in time

In winter, due to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the window will condense fog, so it is very fast and effective to open the front door and window slightly while using warm air to remove fog. Also pay attention to defogging the rear window, observe the situation behind the car, and enhance the safety of the reversing process.

Rain and snow weather, slippery roads and poor visibility. Drivers should remember to "slow down, control the distance between cars and light the tail", especially when driving on snowy roads, and "slow down and turn slowly", wear snow chains when necessary, and be careful! If you encounter an emergency on the expressway, please remember to "pull over and call the police when people evacuate"!
