What are the dangers of parking a vehicle for a long time?

Long-term parking of vehicles not only damages the service life of the vehicle, but may even lead to hidden dangers, including damage to the appearance of the vehicle, aging of tires, premature battery scrapping, aging of the rubber seals on windows and other places, and damage to mechanical parts. the most serious consequences. Hazard 1: Affects the aesthetic appearance of vehicles parked outdoors for a long time. The paint of the vehicle is extremely susceptible to intrusion by factors such as sand, dust, fallen leaves, branches, etc. Especially the humid air in the morning and evening after the leaves fall in autumn can easily cause the paint to rust, discolor, and even cause damage. Falling off may directly affect the appearance of the vehicle. Hazard 2: Tire aging. Long-term parking will lead to the aging of the tire valve core, rubber leakage, cracking and aging, and even deformation of the wheel hub. It is borne by the part of the tire that contacts the ground, which can easily cause this part to shrink and deform under pressure. The longer the car is parked, the harder it is for the deformed parts to recover, causing the weight distribution around the tire to change and the rolling radius to be uneven, causing tire imbalance. Once a car enters high-speed driving, body buffeting will occur, accelerating tire wear and posing hidden dangers to driving safety. Hazard three: When the battery is scrapped in advance and left idle, the vehicle battery will consume a certain amount of energy. Generally, self-discharge of the battery every day and night can reduce the capacity by more than 1%. However, when the battery self-discharges for a long time, sulfides will be generated on the surface of the plates, which will not only affect Destroying the effect of recharging the battery will also lead to premature scrapping of the battery. Hazard 4: Aging rubber seals. The rubber seals of car windows and the oil seals of fuel tanks are all rubber products. During long-term parking, the vehicle will be damaged to varying degrees by natural conditions such as wind, sun, and rain. It accelerates the aging of rubber products in the car. Once the rubber products are contaminated by gasoline, engine oil and other substances, their elasticity will become worse, and they will even be damaged and create gaps, polluting the interior environment of the car and even jeopardizing driving safety. Hazard 5: When the machine parts are damaged and the car is parked without starting for a long time, the original oil, water and other substances in the car are easily volatilized and oxidized. The oxides adhere to the normal machine parts, causing problems such as corrosion, blockage, moisture and so on. During startup, dry friction between the cylinder and the piston is caused, which accelerates wear of parts and causes potential risks such as difficulty in starting.
