Matters needing attention in autumn vehicle maintenance

Autumn can be regarded as the cultivation period of vehicles. The air is crisp in autumn, the weather is clear and the temperature is suitable, which is very suitable for vehicles, saving cars and driving comfortably. Automobile maintenance in autumn is mainly to repair the damage caused by summer use.

1. Engine oil maintenance. Use antifreeze oil when changing oil to avoid the waste of changing oil again in winter. For drivers in Harbin, it is recommended to change to high-grade oil.

2. Repair of automobile paint surface. In the autumn morning, there is a lot of dew, and the surface of the car is often in a humid environment. If there are scratches on the surface of your car and the iron sheet leaks out, paint it in time to avoid rust on the surface of the leaked iron sheet.

3. Surface maintenance of vehicles. Due to the summer monsoon rainfall, especially the corrosion of acid substances in the rain and the irradiation of strong light in summer, the paint surface of automobiles will inevitably be oxidized and corroded. When changing seasons, you'd better do a series of beauty maintenance for the surface of your car, from cleaning and polishing to waxing, glazing or coating. Of course, if the paint is still bright, just wax the car body.

4. Maintenance of the braking system. The braking system is related to our safety. When checking the brake system, pay attention to whether the brake fluid is sufficient and the quality is getting worse. If necessary, it should be supplemented or replaced in time. If the vehicle is equipped with ABS, ESP and other systems, it is necessary to ensure that these systems work well to ensure that they can play a role in an emergency and protect our safety.

5. Maintenance of cooling system. If the antifreeze has deteriorated, or the concentration is not enough, or the original water is used, it must be replaced with standard antifreeze before winter, and the antifreeze must meet the requirements.

6. Maintenance of the battery. There are two main aspects to check the battery. On the one hand, there is no looseness and oxide at the electrode connection. If some green oxides are washed away with boiling water, these green oxides will cause insufficient power generation of the generator and make the battery in a state of power shortage. In severe cases, the battery will be scrapped in advance, making the vehicle unable to start. On the other hand, for batteries with water added, the height and concentration of electrolyte should be checked.

7. Maintenance of tires. First, the tire inspection pressure must be standard; Second, the inclusions in the tire tread should be removed in time; 3. Tires with tread height less than 1.6mm must be replaced.

8. Maintenance of heating system. When the weather turns cold and the temperature is low in autumn, frost will appear. Pay special attention to whether the defrosting outlet under the windshield is normal and whether the heat is sufficient. Solve the problem in time, otherwise it will bring unsafe factors to your driving.
