What does the car frost warning light mean?

The frost warning light is displayed in the lower right corner of the tachometer with a sign of snow pattern.

This warning light shows that the temperature outside the car is too low, reminding you that the road is frozen and you should be careful to slip.

Frost warning is on, indicating that the outdoor temperature drops to a certain extent. When the temperature is lower than 4 degrees Celsius, the yellow light is on, and when it is lower than 0 degrees Celsius, the red light is on. As the temperature drops, the car should start the anti-freezing function.

If the indicator light is orange, the problem is not serious. If it is red, it must be warmed up before driving. Preheating is based on idling to water temperature of 50 degrees after starting, and then driving.

Also note that the cold car can't start the throttle, which will not only waste oil but also hurt the engine.

Precautions for driving in winter:

1, preheating and snow removal:

When you find that the car that has been parked all night is covered with snow, don't hurry to leave. You should warm the car first. This is mainly to make the oil get better lubrication and let the engine enter the best state. Besides, it will raise the water temperature and ensure that we can make better use of the heating system! The owner can wipe off the floating snow on the car while heating, especially the position of the window, rearview mirror and headlights. Clear vision and light source are very important for driving safety.

2. Start and drive:

Winter must start slowly and gently, which is good for both tires and engines: on the one hand, it can make the tires have a gradual warming process when they are still hard; On the other hand, it is also to make the engine load as small as possible without reaching the normal working temperature.

3, parking and cleaning:

Car owners should avoid parking on slopes and choose sunny, dry and flat places. Before parking, observe around and above the parking place: don't get close to buildings, telephone poles, etc. Avoid collision when slipping; Don't park your car under trees or billboards, in case it suddenly breaks and damages the vehicle.

Remove the snow melting agent attached to the car body in time after returning from a snowy day. If the cleaning is not timely and thorough, it will corrode the automobile chassis and tires, easily rust the chassis and oxidize the tires, and shorten the service life.
