What should I pay attention to when driving in sleet weather?

It is cold in winter, and the windshield of the car is prone to frost. Some "novice" car owners will choose to defrost directly with hot water. In this regard, the rider Lao Hu said that hot water defrosting may cause the glass to burst. He shared his secret with us: keeping the temperature inside and outside the car consistent. In case of rain and snow, don't lock the car and leave immediately after use. Open the door for ventilation. When the temperature inside the car drops to almost the same as that outside the car, turning on the power supply and brushing the rain and snow on the windshield with a wiper can greatly reduce the degree of glass freezing and even prevent it from freezing; You can also use warm air to defrost. If frost appears on the windshield, start the car, wait for the engine water temperature to rise, and adjust the air outlet to blow warm air on the windshield until the ice layer melts.

2. "Cleverly hide" static electricity

Recently, the weather is getting colder and colder. Xiao Su, who just bought a new car at the autumn auto fair, was occasionally shocked by static electricity while driving, which made her feel very strange, so she called the reporter for advice.

It is not unusual to drive with static electricity in winter. The reporter recommended to the car owners the trick of "avoiding electricity": before driving, you can touch the door with the metal part of the car key, so that such a simple action is not easy to get an electric shock; When you get off the bus, touch the metal part of the door with your hand before opening the door. You can also try to keep the "moisture" in the car. Some car owners will ask that the moisture in the car is invisible and intangible. How to raise it? In fact, we usually only need to put a wet towel on the dashboard, or spray some water in the car regularly with a sprayer, which can increase the humidity in the car and reduce the static electricity in the car. At the same time, when using the car at ordinary times, you can also turn on the internal circulation air conditioner less to keep the moisture in the car.

Step 3 start at low temperature

At low temperature, many vehicles will encounter ignition difficulties when starting, or sometimes suddenly turn off when driving. The correct answer is: it is best to control the starting time of the vehicle within 5 seconds at a time, that is, turning the key or pressing the start switch should not last too long. If the startup is unsuccessful for three times, it should be stopped for a few minutes before starting, so as not to damage the battery.

When the temperature is cold in winter, the lubricating oil will not flow easily because of the increase of viscosity. After the engine is started, you should drive slowly to warm up. During this time, don't step on the accelerator and don't let the engine rotate too fast. In addition, the preheating time does not need to be too long, as long as the thermometer pointer starts to rise.

Step 4 choose a parking space

In winter, it is very common for automobile glass to frost and freeze, which is mainly caused by the large temperature difference between inside and outside the car. Therefore, before going home to park at night, open the window for a few minutes, which can appropriately reduce the temperature inside the car and avoid frosting on the windshield when driving in the morning.

If conditions permit, it is best to park the vehicle indoors or in the underground parking lot. If you can only park outdoors, you should also choose a sunny, sheltered, flat and dry place to park. It is best to turn your back to the wind when parking, which can reduce the damage of ice and snow to the car water tank and engine. When parking on a slope, it is best to put your head up, so as to avoid the condensed water from the exhaust system being re-injected into the exhaust system, causing unnecessary trouble. When there is ice and snow, it is not advisable to stop on the ramp, so as to avoid difficulties in starting. In addition, try to avoid parking in potholes and damp places, so as not to freeze the wheels with stagnant water.

5. On the journey

Driving in winter should be "slow" and safe. "Slow down" means slow acceleration. If the acceleration is too fast, it will not only make the vehicle unable to start normally, but also cause the vehicle to slip in place. If it is an uphill road, it is necessary to keep a distance of at least three bodies from the front car, which can effectively prevent the front car from slipping. "Slow seconds" means slow braking. Keep a relatively far safe distance from the car in front, and try not to step on the accelerator at the same time. It is particularly important to note that the vehicle must be braked to a controllable speed before entering the curve. If the vehicle brakes in a corner, it is likely to slip out of the lane. "Three slowness" is the direction of slow play. Hold the steering wheel at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock with both hands, and slowly hit the direction at the same speed as the vehicle speed.

Have a nice trip!
