Is it "bad" that the car doesn't have a meeting for a long time? During epidemic prevention, talk about the things that car owners care about.

"I went home on the 28th of 2008, and it has been more than a week since the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month. I can count the number of times I went out with one hand." I believe this is the state of the longest Spring Festival holiday in the history of most car owners. At present, in order not to jam the whole country, everyone tries to stay indoors.

But for car owners, besides thinking about what to eat and how to spend boring time every day, they should also think about some problems about their cars. For example, during the epidemic prevention period, cars will not be "bad" if they don't meet for a long time, and how to deal with the annual inspection of vehicles. Today, Brother E will summarize several issues that car owners are most concerned about during epidemic prevention.

If you don't drive your car for a long time, will it be "bad"

During the epidemic, car owners will worry about whether their cars will be "bad" if they stay indoors for a long time. This kind of worry is not unreasonable. Parking for a long time will cause damage to the vehicle, and the most common thing is the loss of battery power. Because the battery discharge is a continuous process even if the vehicle is not started, and the data stored in the anti-theft locking system and the driving computer of the vehicle are powered by the battery when the vehicle is parked, the battery only discharges without charging during long-term parking, which is easy to cause power loss and lead to the failure to start the vehicle when it is parked.

In order to prevent the battery from running out of power, which will not affect its service life, Brother E suggested that the owner should try to let the car idle for 10-20 minutes every week even if he can't drive on the road, so as to ensure that the battery does not run out of power. Of course, if the owner who won't drive in the near future has been determined, you can also use the method of disconnecting the battery, directly pull out the negative connector of the battery, and then connect it when you use it again, which can also prevent the loss of electricity.

This is the maintenance time of the car. What should I do?

During the epidemic, some car owners just arrived at the time of maintenance. What should I do? Brother e thinks this problem is not big. Even if the car reaches the mileage or time specified in the vehicle manual and is not maintained in time, there will be no problem in the short term. This car is not that fragile. Brother e thinks it's not too late to give the car "big health care" after the epidemic has eased or ended.

The warranty period of some car owners is coming soon. If they miss it, they will not be able to enjoy the free maintenance service during the warranty period. What should I do? In this case, the owner need not worry. Brother e learned that during the epidemic, many automobile brands launched special after-sales services, such as the extension of the first warranty and the extension of the warranty. In addition, they also provide free vehicle disinfection, door-to-door pick-up service and other services.

It's time for the annual inspection of vehicles and the renewal of driver's licenses. What should I do?

During the epidemic, some car owners have reached the time of annual inspection, or their driver's licenses need to be renewed. What should I do? Brother e learned that the traffic management department of the public security organ, the Ministry of Transport and other relevant departments introduced and implemented many convenience measures during this special period.

During the epidemic prevention period, if it is necessary to carry out safety technical inspection, it will be postponed uniformly. In the absence of safety technical inspection, there are production and living needs such as driving, or urgent needs such as material transportation and replenishment, and no punishment will be imposed. Motor vehicles that meet the scrapping standards due to overdue inspection will also be postponed uniformly.

If you need to renew your certificate or verify your academic qualifications, it can be regarded as an extension. After the epidemic is over, we should deal with it as soon as possible, change our driver's license in time, and participate in education. In any of the above cases, there are production and living needs such as driving, or urgent needs such as material transportation and replenishment, and no punishment will be imposed. If the driver's license is cancelled due to overdue renewal or medical examination, the cancellation period will also be extended uniformly.

In addition to the above services, the public security traffic control department has also opened a number of online services such as illegal handling. Car owners in need can find the service they need to handle through the "Traffic Management 12 123" mobile APP and handle it online.

Should cars be disinfected in all directions?

Regarding whether the car needs disinfection, it is mentioned in the anti-virus guide for private cars issued by the CDC. If you don't bring others, just do a good job of ventilation in the car; If someone with unknown physical condition has taken it, you can choose chlorine-containing disinfectant, chlorine dioxide disinfectant or disinfectant wipes to wipe it, and pay attention to opening the window and ventilation in time. Brother e suggested that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better for everyone not to drive out to pick up unfamiliar people.

Do you want to keep the window closed when you drive out?

In order to drive away the potential virus in the car, it is necessary to open the window for ventilation after using the car, but if the window is opened, the virus may enter the car. Many car owners will definitely have questions. Do you want to open the window?

China CDC stipulates that vehicles in open places should be ventilated with windows. When the vehicle is in a closed environment, such as basement and traffic jam, it is recommended to close the window and open the air conditioning internal circulation mode for ventilation to minimize contact with the outside world.

Will it be cheaper to buy a car after the epidemic?

Travel during the epidemic and avoid contact with the outside world as much as possible. At this time, the importance of owning a private car appears. So now many people plan to buy a car after the epidemic, and their biggest concern is whether it will be cheap to buy a car then.

Brother e learned that many car companies have introduced relevant measures to help ease the pressure during the epidemic. Driven by these measures, the sales pressure of dealers is almost minimized, so it is expected that the terminal price of vehicles will be relatively stable. Moreover, affected by the epidemic, many car companies have announced that they will reduce their factory production capacity or even suspend their factory production, just to reduce vehicle inventory and reduce the pressure on manufacturers and dealers. Brother e believes that after the epidemic, some brands and models, especially those that are already very popular, may have a shortage of vehicles, resulting in vehicles not being delivered in a short time, and the final price may also rise slightly. For brands and models with relatively sufficient vehicle sources or relatively high inventory pressure, a series of large-scale promotion policies are likely to be launched after the epidemic.

Generally speaking, after the epidemic is over in the future, the automobile market is expected to show a relatively stable trend, and the price changes mainly depend on specific brands and models.
