What should I do if I encounter a thunderstorm while driving?

Slippery roads in rainy days, thunderstorms and storms affect driving stability. Strictly controlling the speed is the first measure to drive safely in the rain! Generally, it does not exceed 90 km/h on the expressway; The urban area does not exceed 40km/h. Don't brake suddenly; Don't turn sharply; Don't slam the direction. Don't venture into the water.

2. Turn on the low beam and the front and rear fog lights immediately.

When a thunderstorm comes, it is often cloudy, and the visibility is reduced. The water vapor of thunderstorm and heavy rain affects people's sight distance. The main purpose of running lights is not to illuminate yourself, but to let other cars and pedestrians find your car early and increase driving safety.

3. Close all windows and skylights immediately.

Although the skylight can be used in the rain, the rain will still invade the car during the storm; When the rainfall is heavy, if the drainage pipe is not smooth, it will overflow into the car; Debris such as small leaves brought by wind and rain may seize the opportunity to block the skylight drainage hole pipeline. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to open the skylight when it rains.

4. Turn on the air conditioner defogging function.

When driving in summer, the air conditioner usually runs in cooling mode. In case of thunderstorm or heavy rain, press the defogging key in the upper left corner of the air conditioning control panel to confirm that it is external circulation; If other specific wind directions such as "→" were selected when using the air conditioner before, these specific wind directions should be cancelled after the defogging function is turned on, so that only the defogging symbol can be displayed on the display screen, so as to increase the air volume blown on the front windshield and side windows and improve the defogging efficiency. If the fog on the glass is still heavy, you can increase the wind speed. Don't try to wipe with a towel or paper towel. Very dangerous!

5. Turn on the heating function of rearview mirror and rear window.

When fog is found in the left and right rearview mirrors or the rear window, press the heating button of the rearview mirror and the rear windshield (next to the double jump light button) to remove the fog on the glass. Of course, don't forget to turn it off when you get to your destination!

6, driving in the rain and fog should not turn on the double jump lights.

If you don't walk in a specially formed motorcade or make an emergency stop on the side of the road, don't hit the double jump lights when driving, because it will affect other cars and pedestrians to accurately judge your intention to turn and merge, but it is not safe.

7, the correct use of wiper

Turning on the wiper in time is a necessary measure to keep the vision clear. When using the wiper in the rain, the frequency of the rocker arm should be moderate, and it is not good to be too fast or too slow; Spray some glass water intermittently, clean the rubber strip and scrape it more cleanly.

8. Stop in case of hail.

In case of sudden hail during driving, you should immediately pull over to find a safe place to park (turn on the double jump lights, park in the emergency parking area on the expressway and place a triangle warning sign at the back of the car 100 meters as required) to reduce the comprehensive impact of hail on the car body due to the relative speed of driving; It's best to take out the cover on the car and cover the roof to reduce the injury.

9. In case of lightning, please don't get off.

In case of lightning on the expressway, you should enter the service area as soon as possible to rest; Don't get off the bus in case of sudden lightning in the open area.
