Tips for car maintenance in summer

Summer is a difficult season for car owners. On the one hand, the car mainly deals with the problems that appear at any time when the car is driving; On the other hand, the car is mainly busy with the maintenance of the car to prevent the car from "heatstroke". Then, how to prolong the service life of the car and ensure the safety of driving, so as to spend the summer smoothly? The following summer car maintenance tips:

1. Seal the body. Dusty weather in summer leads to more sand. In order to cope with this kind of weather, it is best for car owners to carefully check whether the window sealing strip is aging, degumming and cracking in advance, and replace the aging sealing strip when necessary to enhance the sealing inside the car and prevent sand from entering. This treatment can not only deal with dusty weather, but also help to strengthen the effect of air conditioning when the weather gets hot. It is necessary to remind the owner to use the air conditioning external circulation mode as little as possible to avoid a lot of dust entering the car.

2, protect the car paint in windy weather in summer, which is most likely to cause damage to the car paint. Especially in high-speed driving, the influence of sand on automobile paint surface is more serious. We can use the method of sealing glaze to enhance the hardness of automobile paint surface and resist scratches. Glaze sealing is to improve the wear resistance of automobile paint by polymer covering, and achieve bright and lasting effect. It has the characteristics of wind and sand resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and can protect car paint for a long time.

3. Check the air filter. The air filter of a car is equivalent to a person's nose, and it is the first "checkpoint" for air to enter the engine. In summer, the air contains more dust and tiny sand grains, and the air filter is easily blocked. At this time, the engine will have difficulties in starting, weakness, unstable idle speed and other symptoms. Under normal circumstances, the air filter of a car should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers and inspected every 654,380,000 kilometers. It is best to check every 2000 kilometers in summer, which is good for the engine.

4. Keeping the car dry and sanitary, the rising temperature in summer and the humid air are the golden seasons for the reproduction and growth of various germs. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the antibacterial work in the car and keep the car dry and hygienic, especially the car seat cushion, foot pad, carpet and air outlet. First, high-temperature steam can be used to remove stains from corners of air conditioning outlets, seats and interiors. At the same time, it can remove the odor inside the car. Then, the console, door and other parts are cleaned and disinfected with special internal cleaner. In addition, the sundries in the trunk should be cleaned regularly.

Please remember when tightening the oil cover. At high temperature, evaporation of oil and water will naturally increase. The fuel tank cover should be tightly covered, and the oil pipe should be prevented from leaking. Always check the water level of the water tank, the oil level and height of the crankcase, the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder, the electrolyte density and level in the battery, etc. When the working oil is insufficient, it should be replenished in time according to the regulations.

6. Beware of auto-ignition. High temperature weather is the high incidence period of automobile spontaneous combustion accidents. There are many reasons for automobile spontaneous combustion, such as engine gasoline filter failure, line failure, power cord aging and so on. Automobile spontaneous combustion will not only cause economic losses, but also cause serious casualties, so special attention should be paid. The best preventive method is to go to a professional repair shop for regular inspection and maintenance. In addition, cars mainly develop good car habits, such as turning off the engine in time after the car stops, not leaving flammable items in the car, and configuring on-board equipment such as fire extinguishers.

In addition to the above important aspects, there are some small details, such as checking the wiper, driving without slippers, avoiding wearing dark sunglasses and so on. Car owners must not ignore these small details! In the hot summer, the heat is unbearable. I hope the above suggestions can help car owners travel in high temperature and spend this summer safely and smoothly with your car.
