Safe Driving Tips for a Minivan How to Driving a Minivan Safely

1. Check the car before getting in

Before getting in, walk around the car to check its appearance, tires, and whether there are any oil or water leaks under the car. You have to open the cover and check the engine oil, cooling water, and brake fluid once a week.

2. Ignition steps

Tighten the handbrake (to prevent slipping), depress the clutch to the bottom, put it in neutral, do not step on the accelerator (accelerator pedal), turn the key to the II position and wait for 6 seconds. After a few seconds, let the car's electronic system power on for self-test, start the lubrication system, and then continue to turn the key to the III ignition position. After successful ignition, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, slowly lift the clutch, refuel, and set off.

3. Warm up the car first before driving

Electronic injection vehicles almost do not need to be heated up. Warming the car here refers to starting the lubrication system. After parking for more than 3 hours, after the engine ignites, idle for more than 10 seconds, and the tachometer drops to about 1,000 before starting the car. In severe cold weather in the north, the idling warm-up time should be appropriately extended.

4. Starting in first gear

The design of car transmission focuses on speed. If you reluctantly start in second gear, it will not only increase the load on the engine, but also cause early wear of the clutch. Therefore, regardless of the displacement of a car, you should start in first gear. Taxis or some friends like to drive by skipping gears, that is, starting from the starting gear, 1st, 3rd, 5th gear, 2nd, and 4th gear are only used as transitional gears, and then directly jump on the gas and then skip the gears. This way, although it can drive faster than normal at low speeds, It accelerates half a car faster, but there is no difference when it reaches 3rd gear. This habit of skipping upshifts is actually very bad, as it can easily cause carbon deposits and damage the engine.
