It's winter now. What should I pay attention to when driving and where should I check?

1, do a good job in seasonal maintenance of vehicles. Check and maintain the braking, steering and running systems, gas pipelines, water pipelines, oil pipelines and other components of the vehicle comprehensively, equip the vehicle with necessary anti-freezing devices, and add engine oil and gear oil as required. In addition, antifreeze should be regularly checked and replenished, batteries should be kept warm and charged, and tires should also be checked. Snow and ice weather should install snow chains, keep enough power when driving, and don't brake and turn too fast.

2. Before leaving the car, you should master the road information through TV, radio and other means in advance, bring necessary tools such as snow chains and shovels, and make preparations in advance.

3. During driving in winter, the window will fog due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. It is very fast and effective to open the front door and the front door windows while using warm air to demist. Also pay attention to defogging the rear window, observe the situation behind the car, and enhance the safety of the reversing process.

4. When driving on the ice and snow road in winter, you can't drive in a higher gear, but you'd better control the power of the vehicle, leave room, try to reduce the number of gear shifts and prevent accidents. Keep driving at a constant speed, reduce the speed, reduce or avoid overtaking in lane change as much as possible, and do not use emergency braking. Try not to shift gears when driving on a ramp. When going uphill, increase the distance from the front car in advance and choose the appropriate gear. When going downhill, choose a lower gear according to the road conditions in advance, and make full use of the mechanical braking function of the engine. In particular, bridges, culverts and viaducts are the easiest places to freeze. When passing through these places, it is necessary to slow down in advance, and it is forbidden to use brakes to prevent sideslip. Don't rely too much on high-tech braking systems such as ABS and EBD, they just play the role of auxiliary braking.

5. When driving in foggy days, turn on the anti-fog lights and low beam lights in time, reduce the speed, strictly abide by the principle of driving on the right and going its own way, and keep a sufficient safe distance between vehicles and pedestrians, especially when driving through villages, intersections and corners of mountain roads, carefully observe the surrounding situation, sound the horn in time to attract the attention of pedestrians and vehicles, and be prepared to avoid parking, so as to avoid collision and scraping. When the visibility of dense fog is very low, you should pull over and choose a safe place to park in time, and turn on the small lights, taillights or width lights, and then continue driving after the dense fog clears.

6. When driving a vehicle in winter, you must be careful not to be too fierce and too big, especially when driving in the direction and stepping on the brakes. Otherwise, the result will increase the probability of vehicle skidding, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The key here is to control the speed, keep a good distance and operate carefully, not only to prevent personal vehicles from slipping, but also to observe whether the vehicles of people around you slip.

7. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, leaving enough reaction time and braking distance. The safe distance of ice and snow pavement in winter should be kept more than 2 to 3 times that of dry pavement in other seasons.

8. When turning on the ice and snow road, slow down in advance, slowly hit the steering wheel and pass at a constant speed to avoid suddenly hitting the direction, otherwise it will easily cause the body to slip out of control.
