How should I take care of my car in winter?

1. Replace or add antifreeze in time. In winter, the outdoor temperature is very low, and if the vehicle wants to operate normally, there must be enough antifreeze, otherwise the water tank will be frozen and cannot circulate normally, and the vehicle will break down. Antifreeze should be between max and mix, and if it is missing, it should be replenished in time.

2. Change the glass of water in advance. In winter, when washing the front windshield with glass water, be sure to use *** glass water, so that it will not freeze when washing the glass. Otherwise, it will damage the wipers and affect the driver's vision.

3. Check whether the engine oil is sufficient. In winter, the car runs normally, and the oil plays a great role, so be sure to carefully check whether the oil scale is within the normal range before winter comes. Let's see if it's time to change the oil of your car?

The oil can be changed according to the kilometers on the maintenance manual.

4. If it snows heavily and the car is covered with thick snow, when cleaning the snow on the front windshield, be careful not to scratch the glass with sharp weapons, especially the wipers, and do not open them before thawing, otherwise the wipers will be damaged.

5. When driving in winter, you don't necessarily have to warm up the car in situ, let the car walk slowly and warm up the car, and don't put the gas pedal. Because the viscosity of the engine oil increases in winter and the circulation is very slow, the hot car can ensure that the oil and antifreeze of the vehicle are in place and reduce the wear and tear on the vehicle.

6. Adjust the tire pressure. In the cold winter, try to ensure that the tires of the car are more inflated than in summer, because the tires are easy to expand and contract. This is a comfortable and safe way to drive.

7. The battery is most afraid of low temperature, and the battery capacity in the low temperature environment is much lower than the capacity at room temperature. Therefore, before the cold season comes, the electrolyte of the battery should be replenished and the specific gravity of the electrolyte should be adjusted. At the same time, the binding post of the battery is cleaned, and coated with special grease to protect it to ensure reliable start and prolong the life of the battery.

If the vehicle is not used in the open air or cold storage for several weeks, the battery should be removed and stored in a warmer room to prevent the battery from being damaged by ice.

8. Car washing, the body will be very dirty after heavy snowfall, it is recommended that the owner go to a professional car wash for cleaning, especially in the winter in the north, the snow melting agent will be sprinkled to clear the snow, if the vehicle is not cleaned in time after the snow, the chemicals in the snow melting agent will cause corrosion to the body. In addition, if you feel that the vehicle is shaking irregularly while driving after snow, you should immediately go to the shop to check for damage to the suspension parts or excessive clearance.

The car is covered with water, check the tires, antifreeze.

The winter is too cold, and most people are reluctant to come out, but for the sake of safety, whether to turn off the power of the dash cam depends on the personal situation. My car uses a Kuwei dashcam, and it will turn off the power when it is parked for a long time.

<> "First of all, we want to talk about how to maintain the engine. In winter, difficulty in starting the engine is common. Due to the fact that the temperature is too low during this season, the viscosity of the oil rises significantly, the drag increases, and the engine becomes very difficult to start cold, and this failure is especially noticeable in older cars.

There is only one small secret to avoiding this. You just need to pay attention to the parking method to solve the problem. The main reason for the difficulty of cold start is that the engine temperature is too low, so we only need to keep the engine warm to prevent the biting north wind from blowing indirectly into the engine compartment, so as to avoid the car not catching fire.

Therefore, when parking in winter, pay attention to the deviation ahead. It's best to keep the front facing the building and block the wind with the building to prevent the engine from getting too cold due to the north wind. When parking at night, the front of the car can be tilted towards the rising sun, so that the first rays of sunlight in the morning can hit the front of the car, and the engine can also be driven to heat up, so that driving is much easier.

In winter, clear observance of the windshield is an essential prerequisite for safe driving. Scrub the wipers regularly during the summer months and make sure the windshield can be cleaned on snowy days. The exterior can be painted with "rain enemies" to avoid fogging up the glass.

If necessary, the anti-freeze windshield can be replaced to avoid freezing in the summer. In addition, some windshield de-icers can be added to glass water. When the windshield freezes, spray glass water on it and the ice will melt.

Unlike regular glass water, spraying when frozen is becoming more and more cumbersome. At the same time, focus your attention on irrelevant heating components such as windshields, side window air outlets, rear window electric heaters, etc. to keep it in excellent condition.

Before the arrival of winter, the body can be coated with a protective film. Paint coatings or mirror glazes containing PTFE polymers are resistant to acid rain, snow and salt water. When it snows, the way salt water is sprinkled, and the salt water that is splashed on the body, can greatly force the car paint.

If you're traveling on a snowy day, you won't be afraid of damaging your car paint after doing so.

In winter, the chassis of the car is always in indirect contact with rain and snow, and it is easy to rust. Speeding tires can splash salty snow onto the chassis of a car. After the snow cleared, the chassis of Zhichawang's car began to rust. Therefore, it is best to spend some time on the chassis rust prevention before winter.

In addition to taking insulation measures, the door should also be prevented from thawing so that the door cannot be opened. To do this, you can pre-inject a small amount of lubricant into the door keyhole and apply a thin layer of grease to the sealing strip around the door.

It is also important to use warm water, not cold water, for car washes in winter. Especially after the engine heats up, the temperature in front of the car is relatively high. Washing with cold water leads to rapid cooling, which is very bad for the paint on the outside and does not allow direct cleaning of the engine.

After washing, the door should be closed in time and the water marks should be wiped off to avoid the water remaining in the door cracks from freezing, causing the door to freeze. When the window is frozen, do not force it to open and close. Pay special attention to the power window and use it after it has melted naturally.
