In the hot summer, many people need sunscreen and sunstroke prevention, so what do you need to do for your car? Let's share a little experience of car maintenance and driving in summer, hoping to help you.

Car maintenance

1. Tyre care. Summer is hot, because of the expansion and contraction of heat, it is easy to inflate. Therefore, first, in summer, the tire cannot be inflated too full; second, nitrogen can be added, which has good thermal stability and can prevent tire blowout. In addition, in summer, it is rainy and slippery, so it is necessary to check the tire wear. Once serious wear of tyres is found, they should be replaced immediately.

2. Engine care. In summer, the engine is prone to 'fever', which requires cooling. Engine cooling mainly starts from three points: first, clean the fan in time; second, use high viscosity (special for summer) oil; third, check the operation of cooling system to ensure that the cooling system is smooth.

3. Water tank care. Water tank is an important part of cooling system of automobile. The cooling system is the lifeline of the car, especially in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank. If the water in the water tank is boiling, do not open the cover immediately to reduce the temperature, so as to avoid scalding. After natural cooling, open the cover for inspection.

4. Clean the body. In summer, there is a lot of rain, and many areas with serious pollution will be stained with dust immediately after the rain, so there is no need to wash the car. But when washing the car in summer, don't think that washing the car in the sun can make the car dry quickly and work well. When the car is washed in the sun, the paint surface is easily damaged and aged. In addition, washing the car in the sun and basking in the sun are laborious.

5. Surface care. Strong UV light in summer, easy to aging the car. So before summer comes, it's best to wax your car or put on a sunscreen film and put on a sunscreen for your car.

6. Interior decoration. Driving in summer often opens the windows, which will lead to a lot of dust and debris into the car. If there are a lot of plush ornaments in the car at this time, it will inevitably absorb a lot of dust, which will bring trouble to the cleaning. Therefore, in summer, the car is best decorated with leather or silk slip fabrics. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean the interior of the vehicle to avoid peculiar smell.

7. Remove odors. It is easy to have peculiar smell in the car in summer. At this time, you can put some special odor removing products such as charcoal bags in the car to ensure the air in the car is fresh and make the journey more pleasant.

Safe driving

1. Parking place. Two places are not recommended for parking in summer: one is in the sun. Summer is already hot, in the hot sun, will cause damage to the car body, engine and other aspects. The second is under the trees where there are many birds. Birds flock in summer, but bird excrement is very corrosive. If it is not cleaned in time, it will leave traces on the car. Therefore, park in a place where there are few cool birds. If you can't find the shade, you can only add a sunscreen to create a cool environment for your car.

2. Slow down in rainy days. There is a lot of rain in summer. When it rains, you must drive slowly. Even if all aspects of your car are running normally, you can't take it lightly. When driving in rainy days, you should pay attention to two points: first, remind yourself to keep the distance between cars; second, pay attention to pedestrians at all times to avoid emergencies.

3. Do not drive tired. 'spring sleeps and summer sleeps'. Summer is sultry, and people are prone to sleepiness. So before driving in summer, you must ask yourself if you are tired. Remember not to force yourself. At noon in summer, the human body is sleepy and sleepy. Try not to drive. Also in the process of long-distance driving, more attention should be paid to rest.

4. Old people and children should not stay in the car alone. In summer, the air circulation in the trunk is poor and it is very hot. Children and the elderly not only have relatively weak physiological functions, but also have poor self-help ability. If a child or an old man stays alone in the car and accidentally locks the car, it is easy to have an accident and cause a tragedy if other people pay attention.
