Matters needing attention in driving at high temperature in summer

A complete set of driving precautions

1, vehicle parking precautions

If you park in the open air in summer, the temperature inside the car can often exceed 60℃, and some people even have the experience of "scalding the skin" by the leather seats exposed to the hot sun. After exposure, there is not only high temperature in the carriage, but also a "poisonous gas army" headed by formaldehyde, and the air quality is worrying. Therefore, before entering this car, the first thing to do is ventilation, and at the same time, the air conditioning wind is adjusted to the maximum, and the external circulation is started to cool down and "detoxify".

There are many thunderstorms in summer, so don't park your vehicles in trees, billboards and other places when it is windy and rainy. If the rainfall is too heavy, try to park the vehicle in a place with smooth drainage or high terrain. If the vehicle is flooded, do not ignite, and notify the insurance company and 4S shop as soon as possible.

2. Gas lighters should not be placed.

Some drivers often have the habit of smoking in the car to relieve fatigue. After lighting the cigarette, they put the lighter on the dashboard. At this time, the plastic lighter filled with liquefied gas will expand when the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius. The plastic shell will explode when heated. Although the explosive power of gas lighters is not great, if they are put together with some oil and combustible materials in a closed car, once they explode, they will easily cause a fire, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, in the hot summer, drivers should not use gas lighters and are not allowed to smoke while driving.

It is not advisable to turn on the air conditioner for a long time.

Vehicles equipped with air conditioning have better sealing performance.

Many people like to wait in the car with the air conditioner on. In this case, when the engine is idling, carbon monoxide will be produced. After a long time, the oxygen content in the car will decrease, and people in the car may have bad symptoms such as dizziness. In addition, turning on the air conditioner for a long time may also lead to physical discomfort and even a cold. Turn on the air conditioner for a long time, adjust the working state of the air conditioner properly, or open the window for air every once in a while.

4, to prevent the car from spontaneous combustion

Before going out, be sure to check whether the wiring of the vehicle is short-circuited and aging, whether the plug is loose, whether the battery is in normal working condition, and whether the oil circuit and other automobile parts are leaking oil.

And equipped with a fire extinguisher in the car, familiar with the operation method, to prevent accidents.

5. Always check the air pressure of automobile tires.

The high temperature in summer is a great test for tires. As the temperature increases, the tire pressure may be too high. It's easy to get a flat tire at this time. Once a puncture occurs during driving, the consequences will be unimaginable. So you must be diligent in checking the tire pressure. Before driving every day, you should look around the tire condition of the whole vehicle and check the tire pressure state. Of course, the tire pressure should not be too high or too low, so it is particularly important to maintain normal tire pressure when driving in summer.

6. It is not advisable to wear dark sunglasses.

The dark color of sunglasses will delay the time when the eyes send images to the brain. This visual delay will cause speed perception distortion and make the rider wearing sunglasses make wrong judgments.

Related research shows that dark sunglasses can prolong the driver's reaction time to emergency 100 milliseconds and increase the sudden braking distance by 2.2 meters.

7. Don't drive tired.

Due to the high temperature in summer, it is easy to get tired and doze off when driving, especially in the afternoon or after meals. Everyone must feel these things. When the spirit is the most exhausted, the mind often becomes dull, and driving reluctantly will lead to traffic accidents. Therefore, in hot summer, try to keep the temperature and humidity inside the car suitable. If you are very tired, stop and rest in time, and then continue driving after your head is clear. Don't drive for a long time.

8. Pay attention to pedestrians when driving.

In hot weather, people like to use umbrellas to shade the sun, but in order to keep out the sun, the height of umbrellas is generally low, which blocks the view of umbrella holders.

Therefore, when driving, especially when overtaking and turning, we must be extra careful of pedestrians to avoid unnecessary accidents.

9. Never drive in slippers.

Wearing flip-flops and sandals is very popular in summer, which is convenient and cool, but you must never drive with slippers or change sandals into slippers.

Because slippers can easily affect the operation of pedaling, if you encounter a dangerous situation, because slippers do not follow your feet, their strength is too weak to support you to step on the brake pedal quickly, which delays the braking opportunity and is likely to cause greater danger.
