What to pay attention to when driving in hot weather, what should you pay attention to when driving

Prevent punctures, and do a good job of aging and leakage inspection.

The temperature is very high in summer, car tires belong to rubber products, and it is easy to burn tires when encountering high temperatures, if the driving road conditions are not good, the road surface is very hot and very sharp pebbles and other objects, it is easy to scratch the tires with high heat. In hot weather, the vehicle is parked in the sun for a long time, which will also accelerate the aging of components, especially some interface parts.

Precautions for driving in hot weather: avoid fatigue driving, pay attention to the water temperature of the vehicle, prevent puncture, prevent spontaneous combustion, prevent brake failure, and do not leave children alone in the car.

1. Do not drive tiredly

Driving in hot weather, it is indeed easy to get sleepy; If you feel tired on the highway, you must go to the nearest service area to rest and do not park in the emergency lane. For drivers who run long distances, be sure to ensure sufficient rest before getting on the highway to prevent sudden sleepiness.

2. Pay attention to the water temperature of the vehicle

In summer, the temperature is high, and the engine is prone to overheating. Therefore, the inspection and maintenance of the engine cooling system should be strengthened in summer, and the scale and debris between the radiator chips should be removed in time. When the water temperature exceeds 100 °C, stop in a cool place to cool down, let the engine idle, and lift the hood to dissipate heat.

When the water tank is boiling and the engine is overheating, do not turn off the engine (except for the motor driving fan), and do not pour cold water on the engine to prevent the body from bursting.

3. Prevent puncture

High-speed vehicles are prone to puncture tires on high temperature days, tire wear, excessive speed, and overloading will cause punctures, and sudden braking without stabilizing the direction will cause rollover.

When the driver encounters a sudden puncture, he should hold the steering wheel with both hands, loosen the accelerator pedal, and try his best to control the vehicle to drive in a straight line. In the case of controlling the direction, gently press the brake pedal, do not brake urgently, let the car slow down, wait for the speed to drop to the appropriate time, stop the car smoothly, try to gradually stop the car on the side of the road, and place safety warning signs in the direction of the oncoming vehicle.

4. Prevent spontaneous combustion

Generally, the causes of spontaneous combustion of vehicles are electricity leakage, short circuit, oil leakage, improper parking position, etc., among which, electricity leakage and oil leakage are particularly common. At the same time, pay attention to the refueling should not be overfilled, the car fuel tank cap is equipped with ventilation holes, if the gasoline is relatively full, the bumps in the driving will make the gasoline overflow, and the fire will be caused by static electricity. Most of the cars that spontaneously combust are old models, and drivers usually do not pay attention to vehicle maintenance or neglect self-inspection.

There are generally precursors to spontaneous combustion of automobiles: such as black smoke, burnt smell, etc. After confirming the car**, the driver and passengers should keep a clear head and park the car on the side of the road. When preparing to extinguish the fire, remember to open the engine cover and spray the fire on the ** part.

5. Prevent brake failure

The brake fluid is easy to evaporate and vaporize in a high-temperature environment, forming air resistance in the brake pipeline, and the brake shoe is also easy to ablate, resulting in brake failure. Therefore, in summer, the braking system should be checked and adjusted in time, the brake fluid should be added or replaced in time, the air in the hydraulic braking system should be thoroughly discharged, and the brake bowl, brake hose and brake shoes should be in good condition.

6. Do not leave children alone in the car

Many parents drive with their children to travel, may for various reasons to get out of the car to deal with affairs, and leave the child alone in the car, they often think that the child alone in the car will not be dangerous in a short period of time, but often parents or forget the child in the car or extend the time to return to the car, resulting in serious accidents. At present, it is the summer heat period, and it is not possible to leave the child alone in the car.

Pay attention to the following points when driving in hot weather:

1. The dark color of sunglasses can delay the time for the eyes to send the image to the brain, and this visual delay causes the distortion of the speed sensation, so that the driver wearing sunglasses can make a wrong judgment. Studies have shown that darker sunglasses can extend the driver's reaction time to an emergency by 100 milliseconds and increase the distance of a metre for hard braking.

2. Don't get tired and drive in high summer temperatures, easy to get tired and doze off. Therefore, it is important to get enough sleep to ensure that you are energetic. If you feel sleepy while driving, you should stop in time, rest for a while, and continue driving after your mind is clear.

3. Prepare drinking water and water tank water, prepare the required water, the driver can avoid irritability and anxiety due to the lack of water halfway, prepare enough water for the car, and also prevent the vehicle from high-temperature failure when driving at high speed for a long time.

4. Fire extinguishers and warning triangle signs should be placed in the car to accompany the gas in high temperatures, when the vehicle sometimes spontaneously combusts or other fires, the fire extinguisher can come in handy at any time, and if an accident occurs, the warning sign must be placed 150 meters away from the rear direction of the car as soon as possible, so that there will be no serial accidents.

5. Beware of spontaneous combustion and puncture of the car Generally speaking, the spontaneous combustion of the car is related to the aging of the line and the oil leakage, so in the summer, it is necessary to pay attention to check whether the high and low voltage lines of the vehicle are short-circuited or aging, whether the oil circuit is leaking, etc., the daily maintenance of the car is the key, and it is necessary to maintain it frequently. At the same time, puncture is also prone to traffic safety hazards, with the gradual increase in temperature and road surface temperature, high-speed or long-distance driving, tire pressure is easy to rise, causing puncture, so you need to pay more attention to tire pressure in summer, choose the right tire pressure to drive.

Precautions for driving in high temperatures:1. Don't wear sunglasses that are too dark;

2. Don't drive tiredly;

3. Prepare drinking water and water tank water;

4. Fire extinguishers and warning triangles should be placed in the car;

5. Beware of spontaneous combustion and puncture of the car.

Spontaneous combustion of automobiles is related to the aging of the circuit and oil leakage, so in the summer, it is necessary to pay attention to check whether the high, liquid mold and low voltage lines of the vehicle are short-circuited or aging, and whether the oil circuit is leaking.

With the gradual increase in air temperature and road temperature, high-speed or long-distance driving, tire pressure is easy to rise, causing puncture, so you need to pay more attention to tire pressure in summer and choose the right tire pressure to drive.
