For those who own cars, you may often hear the saying: "30% repair, 70% nourishment." This sentence means that maintenance and repair of a car only account for 30%. , 70% depends on daily maintenance, which is why it is necessary to prepare nearly 200,000 yuan to buy a 100,000 yuan car. A large part of it is prepared for maintenance, and maintenance is also a science, especially It's winter now, and there are some details that are easily overlooked, but they are the ones that need the most attention. The editor will talk to you about this issue below.
●Tires
Tires are one of the things that many people ignore in winter. They think that as long as they are not flat and have normal tread, they will be fine. But it's not that simple. First of all, you must ensure appropriate tire pressure. In winter, when the temperature is low, the tire pressure needs to be replenished in time to ensure it is within the appropriate range, instead of increasing the air pressure very slowly to save trouble. Everyone in the 4S shop or quick repair shop knows the specific air pressure. If you want to solve it yourself, you can also take out the "User Manual?" when you bought the car. , written clearly above. In addition, the surface of the tires should also be cleaned regularly. Because the temperature is low, the hard substances contained in the tires can easily puncture the tires, causing safety hazards. I have experienced this. My previous car was damaged in this way, so I had to replace it. Tires.
●Chassis
The road surface is slippery in winter, and it often rains and snows in many places. In addition to the tires, the car chassis is another place where it directly comes into contact with rain and snow. Many people think that this is just a good way to clean the chassis, but in fact, the chassis is easily rusted when it is in contact with rain and snow for a long time, which brings safety hazards to driving. Therefore, we need to maintain the chassis in winter, such as spray painting or chassis armor, so that There will be no problem.
●Car door
It is very easy to know when it will snow based on the current level of domestic atmospheric forecasting. Before it snows, many car owners who do not have underground garages In order to prevent the wipers from freezing, you will stand the wipers up in advance. This is correct. However, in addition to the possibility that the wipers will be frozen, another important place that you should pay attention to is the car door. If the car door freezes, we It takes a lot of effort to open, and sometimes it can't be opened at all, which brings inconvenience. Therefore, when using the car in winter, applying a layer of grease to the door seal will protect it. , and it becomes very easy to open the door. In addition, some nostalgic car owners may still drive very old cars, and the car doors need to be opened with a key hole. If this is the case, in addition to applying grease inside the sealing strip, lubricating oil must be injected into the keyhole. This will make it easier to open the car door when it's snowing or freezing.
●Car Seat Cushion
The last thing that is easily overlooked is the car seat cushion. When the weather is cold, many car enthusiasts will wrap the seat cushion with a layer of more comfortable velvet cushion. It is easy to ignore the car seat cushion. Leather seats, if you leave the cushions alone all winter, will easily cause the leather to age and fall off, so you need to take care of the seats regularly. If the seats are equipped with seat heating functions, I personally recommend not to wrap them again. Firstly, it will be easier to clean up if you have a velvet pad. Secondly, why do you need a velvet pad when it has a heating function?
