However, self-driving into Tibet needs to pay attention to many aspects:
1. Try to drive vehicles with low requirements for gasoline and diesel. Due to objective factors, there will be problems in using high-grade gasoline vehicles in plateau areas, and it is impossible to add high-grade gasoline and diesel in many places in Tibetan areas.
2. Try to drive vehicles that are resistant to operation and easy to maintain. Because Tibet is located in a remote place, there are not many repair shops along the way, and many shops have incomplete auto parts, so the general car treatment on the Sichuan-Tibet line will be much better and the maintenance will be much more convenient.
3. If you just want to take the ordinary route, two-wheel drive is not impossible, but it is recommended to use off-road vehicles in some areas with poor conditions. When we travel outside, happiness and safety are the most important. Especially those friends who want to go to no man's land and desert areas, off-road vehicles are the best choice.
4. Whether driving an off-road vehicle or a car, it is best to start together as a team. You can take care of each other if you encounter any difficulties on the road.
Before going out, give the vehicle a comprehensive maintenance. It is best to have a spare set of spark plugs and oil, trailer tools and tow ropes. To prepare a full-size spare tire, prepare the positive and negative grounding wires of the battery to prevent the battery from running out of power.
So how much damage does driving into Tibet do to vehicles?
1. Due to the thin oxygen in plateau area, the oxygen sensor of vehicle engine is more likely to fail;
2. If you drive an ordinary family car instead of a hard-core off-road vehicle, it will cause great damage to the suspension beam frame of the car when you cross the potholes, because most of them pay attention to comfort, and the suspension stroke is too soft, so it is easy to press the spring stroke to the end. Hard-core off-road vehicles are different, and its suspension beam frame is very tough, which has little impact on the road surface of general ditches and ridges.
