When driving in rainy days, in addition to ensuring the normal machinery of the vehicle, you should also reduce the speed and turn on the anti fog light. You must not cause a traffic accident because of your little negligence.
Vehicle pre service inspection
1. The visibility is low in rainy days. The wiper is a 'hero' who makes your vision suddenly clear in heavy rain. It is very important to check whether the wiper works normally in each gear and whether the wiper blade is clean.
As low flat tires are now widely used, the drainage performance of tires is becoming more and more important in rainy days, so we should pay attention to whether the tires have abnormal wear. The 'bald tire' worn to the limit position is an absolute hidden danger of driving in rainy days.
2. Be calm when driving
Dodge when you see a large amount of water, which is a common problem of ordinary drivers, but such left dodge and right Dodge is very easy to make the driver behind have no time to react. After reducing the speed and going straight through the ponding section, it is best to continuously gently step on the brake to drain the water in the brake disc; When you need to turn, you should step on the brake slowly to prevent the tire from locking and causing the vehicle to sideslip. Starting and braking quickly is a big taboo for vehicles to get out of control in rainy days.
It is worth mentioning that the water depth below about 15cm basically will not affect the car. There is no need to worry about water entering the car or breaking down. However, when the car is over the water, the braking system may be temporarily weakened, and the braking distance should be longer. Therefore, it is best to keep a longer safe distance when driving in rainy days.
If the vehicle stalls in the water, do not try to start it again, otherwise it will easily cause the engine to be scrapped. At this time, please push the car out of the ponding as soon as possible and ask a professional trailer to tow the car to the nearest regular maintenance station.
3. Maintenance after use
Many car owners feel that rainy days are good for their car to take a bath. But in fact, today's rain often has all kinds of viscous substances, which form scale over time, and the acidic components in the rain also corrode the paint. The 'dead corner' between the bottom and the lower part should not be forgotten during car maintenance. There is the most dirt accumulation here, which is difficult to clean and prone to corrosion.
In rainy days, the air is humid and germs multiply vigorously. After using the car, you should especially clean the cushion, air outlet and other 'hotbeds' in the car. Regularly turn on the air conditioner in the car and open the window when driving, which can achieve the effect of dehumidification and ventilation.
