Summer is coming. With the rise of temperature, our car is very prone to failure, so the usual maintenance work must not be less. So how should we maintain our car in hot summer? Let's have a look with Xiaobian
1. You'd better have a big cleaning of the air conditioner
Thoroughly clean and disinfect the automobile air conditioning pipeline in summer. In summer, the air conditioner in the car will be used for a long time. It is necessary to do a thorough cleaning. In addition to removing the peculiar smell, a large amount of dust, dirt and bacteria sucked into the air inlet of the air conditioner are easy to affect people's health.
The key parts to be cleaned include: automobile condenser, which will affect the cooling effect of the air conditioner. The condenser is usually installed at the front of the vehicle together with the water tank. During cleaning, pay attention to prevent the cooling blade from being blocked by leaves and other factors, which will affect the cooling effect; The air-conditioning filter element plays the role of filtering the air in the vehicle. It is easy to turn black after being used for a period of time. During the cleaning process, absorb the sundries and surface dust on the air-conditioning filter element, and then rinse it.
2. The interior is thoroughly sterilized
Due to the hot summer, many car owners do not often open the windows, and often only choose internal circulation for the strong wind of the air conditioner. For a long time, the air in the carriage will become turbid. Especially in the hot and humid weather before thunderstorm, bacteria are also easy to breed. At this time, the owner can choose to buy some interior cleaner or go to the car beauty shop to thoroughly clean the interior of his car.
3. Quick volatilization, automobile antifreeze is indispensable
In summer, the coolant evaporates quickly. Check whether the coolant is lack frequently. If it is lack, supplement the antifreeze of the same brand in time. Do not supplement the antifreeze or water of other brands. Because antifreeze is the main working medium in the automobile engine cooling system, its main function is to make the engine cooling system maintain the appropriate working temperature through forced circulation.
4. Oil
In the high temperature season, the oil with relatively high viscosity should be selected, because the increase of water temperature in the engine in summer will easily lead to the decrease of oil viscosity, which will lead to oil oxidation.
5. Brake
Summer is no more than a rainy day, and wet roads in the rainy season reduce the friction coefficient between the tire and the ground, especially when there is water at the tire pattern. A keen brake system is particularly important, so always check the brake system and try to be prepared.
6. Prevention of "unburned"
Summer is a high incidence period of vehicle spontaneous combustion. The lines and oil pipelines of some older vehicles are easy to age, which often leads to vehicle spontaneous combustion. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on checking the oil and electricity circuits of the vehicle, and send them for repair in time in case of line aging. It is best not to refrain from changing the electrical circuit without authorization. The flammable and explosive materials such as perfume, lighters, etc. should be kept away from the cars. When possible, park in the garage or in the shade. Keep fire extinguishers in the vehicle and pay attention to replacing them regularly. Try to avoid the road with combustible sundries such as hay and paint.
7. Protect the paint and park in a cool place
Although it seems lifeless, it is also afraid of sun exposure. It will get old and wrinkled after long-term exposure. Although ordinary beauty waxing has some effects, because any car wax contains silicon, it will rust the car paint and leave a little black spots after a long period of ultraviolet radiation. Moreover, the car wax itself can not enhance the hardness and resist ultraviolet rays, and will quickly lose due to excessive temperature. Therefore, the car should be parked in a cool place when parking.
8. Prevent tire burst
The road temperature is high in summer, so it is necessary to check the tire pressure regularly, because driving with insufficient air pressure will lead to excessive tire carcass buckling, which will produce high heat, and the internal air liner rubber will be burned into black spots, and then the rubber and carcass cord fabric will peel off. More seriously, the air liner rubber will be burned and melted by high heat, The internal structure of the tire is seriously damaged by continuous high heat. If the tire continues to drive under the condition of reduced strength, it will eventually lead to tire damage. More serious, it will lead to tire burst and potential safety hazards. Therefore, please do a good job in relative inspection and maintenance.
