Attention! Please put away the tips for safe driving in rainy and snowy days, and novice drivers should learn quickly.

I stayed at home for a long time, sometimes I don't know what day it is. Woke up today, the weather will get cold. When I opened my circle of friends and saw many friends sunbathing in the snow, I was puzzled that it was still sunbathing the day before yesterday. Why is it windy today? This is actually a "cold spring" climate. Don't put away all your thick clothes after beginning of spring, because the temperature will be hot and cold in early spring, and keeping warm is the most important thing. Many cyclists and friends are shivering under the covers, and they are also worried about cars parked outdoors. What should we do if we encounter the bad weather of a snowstorm? How can a car driving on the road drive at the same time?

1, pay attention to the parking place.

Parking in snowy days, riders with conditions had better park their cars in the underground parking lot. If there is no underground parking lot, they should try to avoid parking where there is water on the ground, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation that vehicles get stuck on the ice due to long-term parking or freezing after a night of cooling.

It is worth noting that when parking in snowy days, try to avoid parking under trees or billboards! In order to avoid excessive snow, broken branches or billboards falling off on snowy days, causing unnecessary losses to the car!

2、? The wiper must be "up"

When we park outdoors on snowy days, we need to put the wiper up. This is to prevent the wiper from being frozen by snow, or the wiper and the glass from freezing together.

It should be noted here that the wiper is erected and cannot be used immediately the next day. If the wiper is frozen, using it immediately will only burn out your wiper motor. You need to heat the glass until the snow on the glass melts before it can be used normally.

Don't "pull" when the door is frozen.

If you find that the door can't open normally, don't force the sliding door. The easiest way is to pour warm water along the door several times. Remember, don't use overheated water, or it will do great damage to the car paint. You can also enter the car from the unfrozen door, turn on the warm air inside the car and wait for the door to thaw slowly. After the door is opened, dry the door with a clean and absorbent dry towel to prevent the door from rusting.

4. Hot cars on snowy days

If the car has been covered by a large area of snow, you can get off first, so that the oil can be better lubricated and the engine can enter the best state, and then raise the water temperature to ensure the better use of the heating system in the car. While heating the car, take out cleaning tools and clean the snow in front and rear headlights, windows and rearview mirrors as much as possible.

Hot cars are also very particular on snowy days. Most car owners think that it is most beneficial for the car to warm up at idle speed for three to five minutes after starting in the early morning or when the car is not used for a long time, and then go on the road after the water temperature indicator light rises slowly, but this is not the case. The correct way to warm up the car should be to drive at low speed after the vehicle starts and the high idle speed drops. The speed per hour 10 km or so, and the engine speed is kept within 2000 rpm. Do not drive at high speed until the water temperature rises to the normal working temperature before returning to normal driving. Because the effect of low-speed hot car is better than that of in-situ idle hot car, the time of water temperature rising will be much faster than that of in-situ idle hot car.

5. Precautions for driving in snowy days

Lighting use

First, turn on fog lights and low beam lights to help drivers look ahead; The second is to turn on the position lights and the front and rear position lights to indicate the existence of their own vehicles, so that the vehicles driving back and forth can see their specific positions and traffic conditions, so that they can take corresponding measures. On the highway, if the visibility is low, you should turn on the "double flashing" warning light.

Keep the distance between cars

When driving in rain and snow, always keep a safe distance. Visibility is less than 200 meters, and it is necessary to keep a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front; Visibility is less than 100 meters, and it is necessary to keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front; Visibility is less than 50 meters, so you should leave from the expressway. Visibility is low in snow, so be sure to step on the accelerator lightly and don't accelerate too fast, because the braking force of the car will be obviously weakened in snow, so if you accelerate according to the normal road driving mode, the car will probably not stop and rear-end collision will occur.

tyre pressure

If driving in snowy days, it is suggested to reduce the tire pressure as much as possible to increase the contact area between the tire and the ground, increase the adhesion of the tire, and reduce the skid of the vehicle on the wet road to some extent. Of course, the best way is to install snow chains.
