It's the height of summer, and the temperature is getting higher and higher. In the face of high temperature, rain, ultraviolet rays, the need to pay more attention to the maintenance of the place also , let me tell you a few more basic precautions.
Always look at the circuit to prevent spontaneous combustion.
In the high temperature environment in summer, spontaneous combustion may occur when the trailer is not used properly, including: problems with the trailer oil circuit, sparks from aging wires, and flammable materials in the vehicle. At this time, the high temperature outside creates potential conditions for spontaneous combustion of the vehicle. Therefore, in the summer, we need to regularly check the oil circuit, especially do not place flammable and explosive materials similar to perfume on the center console of the vehicle, and the vehicle should be repaired in time if there is an abnormality.
To protect the paint of your trailer from long-term sun exposure, consider the following tips:
1. Avoid washing the car immediately after it has been exposed to high temperatures. Let the car "cool down" for a while before washing it.
2. Always try to park in a shady place to minimize sun exposure.
3. Consider buying a white model, as the measured temperature is about 10°C lower than that of a dark vehicle.
The air conditioner is best cleaned for a large time.
When the air conditioner is not used for a long time, it is easy to accumulate a large number of bacteria, and after heating, these sleeping bacteria will be active again, so it is very necessary to disinfect and clean the car air conditioning pipeline in summer. In addition, you may have encountered that the car air conditioner sometimes does not work and cannot blow out cold air, so it is necessary to check whether the air conditioner has enough refrigerant.
The above three summer maintenance details are no stranger to you, but there are still some maintenance misunderstandings, we will focus on them.
Myth 1----- Tire pressure should be low in summer, otherwise it is easy to blow out.
In summer, the road surface temperature will be much higher than the body temperature, which makes the use of tires more harsh, and high temperatures can easily lead to high tire pressure and puncture. Therefore, many car owners will release the tire pressure when the temperature is high. However, it should be noted that too low tire pressure will increase the contact area between the tire and the ground, and the internal temperature of the tire will easily be too high when driving. Coupled with the internal deformation of the tire, the steel wire of the tire will aggravate the aging, reduce the life of the tire, and increase fuel consumption. Therefore, you can't blindly reduce the tire pressure, but also depend on the specific road conditions to determine the tire pressure.
Myth 2---- You don't need to use antifreeze in summer.
What is the function of antifreeze? Anti-freeze! In this case, do you still need to care about antifreeze in summer? In fact, antifreeze also has a name called "coolant", its role is not limited to antifreeze, but set antifreeze, anti-boiling, anti-corrosion, anti-scaling in one. In winter, the engine cooling system is responsible for preventing freezing, and in the summer, it is responsible for cooling the engine, so it is still necessary to pay attention to whether the antifreeze is sufficient in the summer.
Myth 3--- Do you need to change high-viscosity engine oil in summer?
It is important to carefully study the oil viscosity of the oil, and the viscosity is the most suitable for you according to the viscosity written in the trailer manual. There are two points to pay attention to, one is not too little engine oil, and the other is not expired engine oil.
