It often rains in the south. What should I pay attention to when driving? Check it quickly!

In a blink of an eye, it was another rainy season, and the epidemic situation gradually improved, but there was another flood in the south. A few days ago, there was heavy rain in Beijing and Baoding, and even hail, which damaged many vehicles! 2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year. I wish you better in the second half of the year. Since it's summer, Bian Xiao still wants to tell you some tips and precautions for using a car in summer! Just a reminder.

First, make reasonable arrangements for rainy days.

Check the weather forecast carefully before going out. As a car owner, you should know when it will rain and how heavy it will be before going out. Plan the route, avoid stagnant water or dangerous sections, and make full preparations for vehicles before the rainy season. It is not only responsible for yourself, but also the protection for passengers!

Second, the tires must be checked in the rainy season.

It is necessary to check the tires in early summer. In summer and rainy season, the depth of tire tread should not be less than 2 mm, and it is better to ensure it is more than 4 mm. Because the tread depth is too low, it is easy to form a water film between the tread and the water surface, which reduces the grip of the tire and causes the car to run off, tail flick and lengthen the braking distance. How dangerous it is to rear-end the vehicle in front of you because of wheel slippage on the rainy road!

Third, check whether the wiper is used normally.

It's important to drive the wiper in rainy days! When entering the rainy season, check whether the wiper of the vehicle is aging, abnormal sound, poor scraping, etc. If it is not used normally, it must be replaced in time to avoid accidents caused by the wiper affecting the line of sight.

Fourth, pay attention to adding glass water.

Glass water is also important. Concentrated wiper cleaning solution can strongly clean insect carcasses, dust and so on attached to the windshield. At the same time, it also has a certain lubricating effect, which can reduce the friction of wiper strips and prolong the service life of your wiper.

5. Slow down and keep the distance.

Due to the poor visibility in rainy days, the first thing is to slow down the speed and always be vigilant when driving to deal with unexpected situations. In addition, the road surface is slippery in rainy days, and the grip of tires will definitely be greatly reduced. When encountering a situation, you must take braking measures earlier than usual, and the distance between cars should be larger than usual to avoid rear-end collision.

Six, check the car drain hole

Automobile drainage holes are often ignored by car owners, and the drainage holes of vehicles are mainly set in engine compartment, skylight, lower part of car door and fuel tank cover. The most easily blocked are the exposed drain holes in the engine compartment and skylight. Some dust, silt, leaves and tiny impurities are not cleaned for a long time and slowly accumulate, resulting in blockage of drainage holes. Once blocked, it is easy to cause water in the car during the rainy season. When it is found that the carpet is wet and there are water droplets on the roof, it is likely that the drainage hole is blocked.

Seventh, stop as high as possible.

As the saying goes, water flows downwards and cars drive upwards. In particular, friends in the south, when encountering heavy rain and heavy precipitation, must try to stop at higher places, and remember not to stop at places where water is easy to accumulate, such as drains and culverts, so as not to become foam cars! But don't park your car on the side of the road, which is immoral and hinders pedestrians.

Eight, into the water to slow down.

Be sure to slow down after entering the stagnant water area, because if you pass quickly, the splashing water is likely to enter the air intake and cause the engine to stall. It is best to lower the manual gear to keep the engine running at high speed, which will help flush the accumulated water out of the exhaust port of the car and prevent the accumulated water from flowing back into the engine through the exhaust port.

Nine, water flameout parking and other rescue

If you drive in rainy days and unfortunately turn off the engine in stagnant water, don't panic, turn off all electrical appliances, pull out the key, call for help and wait for help quietly. Never start the engine again, so as not to cause more damage to the engine, otherwise the insurance company will refuse to pay even if it is involved in water insurance afterwards.

It is very important to turn on the light.

Remember to turn on the width light when driving in rainy days, and turn on the fog light when there is water mist. Not turning on the light will directly affect the judgment of the preceding vehicle on the rear situation, that is, it is difficult to judge the position, distance and speed of the following vehicle. If the front car changes lanes or turns under unknown circumstances, it is likely to lead to rear-end collision or other accidents.
