subject: Maintain Your Car In Winter [print this page] With the lower curve of temperature, air conditioning, hot water, heating hot pot and other items came back, every day with our car began to enter the low-temperature operation, careful attention will find that each brand to bring the car has some seasonal are not suited. Experts suggest, then it needs a comprehensive maintenance, winter is approaching, the car "warm", take a little "up dirt."
Heater System
Maintenance: test for any air
And to the use of heaters in winter season, warm air system to stop using for a long time, he will fail, experts suggest that owners have first to try hot air, fans running any abnormal sound, the wind is smooth. During the interview, experts said, sometimes encountered in the antifreeze water heater for long periods of flow, condensation blocked circulation pipeline, although not affect traffic, but it is very troublesome to repair, hence the PANASONIC VW-VBG130 Battery problem must be timely repairs.
antifreeze
Maintenance: To appropriate
Winter arrived, the amount of antifreeze must be appropriate, experts recommend changing the antifreeze every two years, but a mixture of antifreeze year must be replaced. In use, should pay attention to different types of products of different brands do not mix. Followed by oil, the lubrication requirements of winter, the higher the car, if you use a summer oil must be replaced, the use of a longer time,
Color black, the oil should be replaced adhesion variation in order to ensure smooth engine start.
Gasoline
Maintenance: Replace high-scale gas
As for fuel, experts suggest that owners of the winter when you can change the high scale of gasoline, if you usually use a 90 # gasoline, can be replaced 93 gasoline. The car during the winter low temperature, the use of high-scale burning of gasoline higher, sparking a bit more capable.
Glass cleaning solution
Maintenance: adding an appropriate amount of alcohol
Although the glass cleaning fluid in the winter will be significantly less use, but can not be ignored. Some car owners more than the amount in the other season, instead of with Canon NB-9L battery water, but the winter freezes are often substitutes, so winter is not allowed. Experts suggest that zero degrees Celsius in the winter environment, should be replaced in the winter frost glass cleaning fluid, or by adding an appropriate proportion of alcohol which can be achieved by lowering the freezing point, freezing purposes.
Body
Maintenance: waxing
Experts suggest that owners of the best pre-winter body for the car to do a "beauty." Because after the winter cold, brushing will reduce the number of vehicles, so the early winter waxing is a good way of maintenance of paintwork. Also difficult to wet body waxed, hard winter, condensation forms on the phenomenon of ice formation.
Lamp
Maintenance: black light bulbs replaced
For light bulbs, the experts recommended the owner, the lights in the black light bulbs should be replaced as soon as possible, but also to check the fog lights, brake lights of the situation. Easily from frost in winter, visibility is low,
Particularly large number of rear-end accidents, so the fog lights, brake light is working properly, but also protect the safety of winter driving.
Battery
Maintenance: added electrolyte
Batteries are most afraid of low-temperature, low temperature environment, the battery capacitor capacity when compared with room temperature is much lower CANON BP-511A Battery.
Therefore, in the cold season, you should add the battery electrolyte and regulate the proportion of the electrolyte. Also clean the battery terminal, and coated with special oil to protect and ensure a reliable start to extend battery life. If a vehicle is parked in the open air or in a garage a few weeks do not, should remove the batteries, stored in a warmer room, to prevent ice damage to the battery.
Tires
Maintenance: tire pressure is not too high, nor too low
As winter tire rubber hard and relatively brittle, will reduce the friction coefficient, tire pressure is not too high, but more can not be too low. Because the external temperature is low, the tire pressure is too low, soft tires will accelerate aging. In addition, the winter within the tread should always clean up inclusions, try to avoid using make up more than once a tire, replace worn out larger and different patterns of different brands of tires. Different inside and outside tire wear, to ensure CASIO NP-120 battery safety, reduce wear, tires should be replaced regularly to the position.
