What should I pay attention to when driving a car in winter?

Keep these things in mind in the winter of the car, and it is safer to use the car!

1.Temperatures are low in winter. 10 minutes before driving, let the car work in place for 3-5 minutes after ignition. This will make the coordination between the lubricant in the car and the mechanical parts and the engine more complete and accurate. Some friends in the north should pay more attention to this issue.

2.In winter, all objects have the property of thermal expansion and contraction, so the car, interior parts, and exterior accessories are all the same. Don't be too hasty in the operation, pay attention to the smooth transition, which is not only good for the car, but also a good driving habit.

3.In winter, there is often some fog and light rain. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the size of the distance between the cars to judge the size of the slip, so as not to follow too closely and not be able to catch up.

When the fog is too high, the speed should be slowed down. You can turn on the yellow warning lights so that the cars behind you can see clearly, which is good for everyone.

4.When meeting or overtaking in winter, be sure to pay attention to the lack of blue and observe the direction and distance of the front and rear vehicles. When overtaking, you must turn the turn signal on the steering wheel.

1. The driver must attach great importance to driving safety in special winter weather and improve the awareness of safe driving; When leaving the car; Concentrate on controlling vehicle speed, standardize driving, and deal with emergencies such as skidding, side skidding, deviation, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles crossing in the case of starting, stopping, U-turning, steering, changing lanes, and meeting cars; It is strictly forbidden to practice on the ramp in ice and snow weather.

2. Before leaving the car, the driver must carefully check the safety equipment on the car: steering, braking, lights, instruments, horns, wipers, etc. When going out of the car in foggy weather, wipe the windshield glass and lamp glass clean, turn on the anti-fog lights, low beams, front and rear lights, width indicators and tail lights according to the regulations, make full use of the lights to improve visibility, and see the road ahead, vehicles and pedestrians clearly.

3. Smooth driving. The road is slippery after the snow in winter, pay attention to the steady speed and uniform operation when driving, such as sharp acceleration, sudden braking, sudden turning, etc. are taboo for snow driving. Smooth acceleration while traveling, driving at medium and low speeds.

4. Slow refueling. When starting and accelerating, refueling should be light and slow to prevent tire slippage and side slippage. Because you refuel too quickly, the driving force of the vehicle is greater than the adhesion of the road surface, resulting in the idling of the driving wheels and the lateral deviation of the vehicle.

Therefore, the throttle must be well controlled, so that the driving force is less than the adhesion of the road surface, so as to avoid or reduce the occurrence of slippage and side slip.

5. Slow down skillfully. When decelerating, it is necessary to make full use of the resistance of the engine to decelerate, that is, to quickly release the throttle without disengaging and stepping on the clutch, so that the engine speed drops immediately, forcing the speed of the driving wheel to decrease, and slowing down the vehicle. If you need to use the brakes to stop, use the engine brakes to slow down the vehicle and then apply the brakes gently.

It is absolutely forbidden to apply emergency braking on snow and ice roads to prevent the vehicle from skidding. Cars without ABS should pay special attention to prevent side skidding. When parking, try to choose an open space without ice and snow, tighten the handbrake gear, and pad the wheels if necessary.
