As soon as you enter the car in winter, you can't wait to turn on the warm air, and adjust the temperature and air volume to the maximum, thinking that you can warm the car in the shortest time. In fact, this will have the opposite effect.
How to drive safely in winter
1. Don't turn on the warm air
As soon as you enter the car in winter, you can't wait to turn on the warm air, and adjust the temperature and air volume to the maximum, thinking that you can warm the car in the shortest time. In fact, this will have the opposite effect.
Because the warm air is generally brought by the heat of the engine, at the beginning of starting, the engine does not cover the heat of various cooling fluids so quickly. If you start the air conditioner and turn on the warm air when you get on the car, it will not increase the temperature in the car quickly, but increase the burden of the engine and motor. You should start the engine first, wait for the thermometer pointer to the middle position, and then turn on the warm air.
2. Proper ventilation is required
The warm air is not blowing to the face and the temperature is not too high, both of which are easy to cause sleepiness. When the air conditioner and warm air are turned on for a long time in the car, because the car itself is in a closed space, the air in the car will become turbid and the carbon dioxide content will increase, which will make people drowsy. Therefore, after driving for half an hour, the car owner had better open a slit in the four windows to let the air convection in the car and drive away some of the dirty air in the car, which will be effectively alleviated.
3. How to heat up quickly
After the heating is turned on, set the air circulation to external circulation, so that the cold air in the car can be discharged out of the car. After about 2-3 minutes, set the air circulation to internal circulation. In addition, when the rear window is slightly open for a period of time, due to the entry of hot air, the cold air is pushed out faster, and the warming effect is reflected faster.
4. Turn on the heater and don't smoke
Warm air is prone to bacteria, especially smoking when the warm air is turned on in the car, which will cause a large number of amines and nicotine in the smoke and dust to adhere to the surface of the evaporator, which is difficult to remove. In rainy weather or when the air conditioner is not used for a long time, mold will be produced on the surface of the evaporator, which will emit an unpleasant smell and seriously pollute the air in the car.
5. Using warm air to remove fog
The first way to deal with repeated fogging in the car is to press the window defogging button and blow cold air to the windshield, so as to eliminate the fog on the window. Second, put down the glass window to let the air circulate, so that the temperature inside and outside the car can be unified, and the window fog can be eliminated automatically. If you use warm air to remove fog, the principle is to use the heat of warm air to dry the fog on the glass. This method works slowly, and generally lasts for 1-2 minutes. And if the warm air stops, more fog will gather in a very short time.
6. Pay attention to prevent dryness
Warm air is easy to cause dryness in the car. Long time dry hot air will accelerate skin aging. Once again, female car owners should pay attention to that the air outlet should not be directed at the face. In order to prevent the car from being too dry, you can put a wet towel in the car and lay it on the dashboard. In addition, a mineral water can be put in the car to properly moisten the lips and wet the face at the right time.
How to keep warm when driving in winter
1. Adding a pile of velvet cover to the steering wheel is a cold choice for many people. However, for some models with a large diameter of the steering wheel, adding a pile of velvet cover will make the steering wheel thicker and larger in diameter, which is not conducive to the control of the steering wheel. At the same time, due to the insufficient friction between the steering wheel sleeve and the steering wheel, the steering wheel may slip in case of emergency, and there are potential safety hazards.
recommend:
① Wear a pair of warm gloves on your hand. Gloves are much cheaper than steering wheel covers. And wearing gloves is not so slippery, which can ensure driving safety. At the same time, it has less influence on steering wheel operation. Such a warm keeping method can be said to be both affordable and effective without affecting driving safety.
② If you insist on adding a layer of velvet cover to the steering wheel, you should carefully choose a good style. You'd better choose a style that is not too thick and has anti-skid function. After all, the most important thing is to ensure driving safety.
2. The seats in the car also need to be close to the body. They also need to keep warm. The seats can be added with a set of cushions, which is warm, soft and more comfortable. However, when choosing the seat, we should choose the cushion with larger friction coefficient and can be fixed on the seat to prevent the seat displacement from affecting the driving safety.
