Driving in the rainy season, have you noticed it?

The rain has continued this summer, and heavy rain has appeared in many cities across the country. The rain brought a lot of trouble to people's travel. Especially for car owners, the continuous rainfall weather is their nightmare. How to protect your car in the rainy season is the hot topic that every car owner cares about. This article starts from reality and lists several considerations for driving in rainy days.

1. Before choosing a reasonable route to go out, we must first carefully understand the road conditions and the situation of accumulated water in the area, and pay attention to the dark pits and the larger stones and the softness of the roadbed. If the water surface is not very deep, the general condition of the bottom can be judged by observation. Wherever there are waves and eddies, there are likely to be larger stones and other obstacles; where the water is calmer, the water is usually deeper; the water is open and there is a more uniform crushing place, generally the water is shallow and the bottom is mostly Crushed stone is the ideal route for driving through.

2. Ensure that all parts of the car are free of abnormal rain. Driving in the rain will impose higher requirements on the tires. In the rainy season, the depth of the tread can be guaranteed to be more than 4 mm. Because the depth of the tread is too low, it is easy to form a film of water between the tread and the water surface, resulting in car deviation, tail flick, and extended braking distance.

Low speed and high speed When passing through the stagnant area through the stagnant water zone, low-speed driving should be used and the throttle should be stabilized. Pass the air one after the other. Never stop, shift or rotate in the middle. Even if the neutral gear is used, it must continue to hit the throttle and keep the engine. The discharge pressure is higher than the water pressure. Because once the car is turned off, the exhaust pipe will immediately flow back into the water, causing damage to the exhaust system. At the same time, vehicles cannot speed too fast when wading. In addition, it is generally advisable not to pass through the center of the wheel or exhaust pipe.

3. Keep a good view of the traffic.

When the summer rainy season arrives, due to frequent rainfall, the humidity in the air is relatively large, especially when the sky drops light rain, the rainwater is likely to form a water mist on the windshield of the vehicle, thus affecting the driver's sight when driving. When it rains, many owners prefer to close the windows. In fact, removing the fog from the windscreen, it would be better to open the window slightly. For the removal of water mist from the windshield, it is best to first open the air conditioning in the car to the inner circulation so that the air-conditioning wind can blow to the front windshield; secondly, open the windows slightly to allow the humidity inside and outside the vehicle. Keep it balanced so that the mist on the windscreen will soon disappear.

Driving headlights on a rainy day will create a dazzling light curtain. Use fog lights instead. If fog is generated on the front screen, the cooling switch of the air conditioning is blurred, and the glass is blown with cold wind, so that the sight can be quickly cleared; when the rear windshield is misty, the rear windshield heater needs to be opened to eliminate the fog as quickly as possible. . If the wiper does not completely sweep the water, so that the rain "stained" in the car glass, car wax can be painted on the window, so that the glass surface to form a wax film, improve the line of sight.

4. Vehicle wading decelerates and slows down. Maintaining the distance between the front and the rear is accompanied by an increase in summer rainfall. Driving in the rain and wading through the water are problems that each car racer will encounter. For road sections with deeper water, vehicle wading Driving skills at the time are often an important factor in the vehicle's ability to successfully exit the stagnant road section. Some drivers, when they see the puddle in the road, like to quickly rush past the high gear, which in fact tends to put the vehicle into unnecessary trouble. After the water in the road area, when the vehicle passes quickly, the water will easily generate water waves, and the surging water waves will be much higher than the original calm water surface. Therefore, when the vehicle passes quickly, the water will be pushed by the water waves. It will enter the car from the exhaust pipe at the rear of the vehicle, causing unnecessary vehicle damage.

In addition, the braking distance of the vehicle on a slippery road surface is approximately 3 times the braking distance of a dry road surface. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining the distance from the vehicle in front of the vehicle. After a heavy rain, whether or not the vehicle is abnormal, it is best to go to the 4S shop. A comprehensive "health check." Because some hidden dangers can not be found on the spot, the potential harm to the car is unusual. For example, heavy rain can easily cause some leaves, dust, etc. to attach to the heat dissipation system or the drain hole of the engine compartment cover. If these dirt are not cleaned in time, the cooling system's working efficiency will be reduced, causing mechanical failure. Therefore, after the rain, look at the position of the air intake hole separating the engine compartment and the cockpit, and whether there is any water in the grooves on both sides of the left and right fenders. If water is present, flush the air intake hole and clear the water channel. To ensure the best conditions for the vehicle.

5. After wading, Mo panicky If you run into water, don't take risks. If the flameout is too high due to the water surface, immediately turn off the ignition switch. Do not attempt to start the engine again. Move the vehicle to a safe place and try to make the vehicle front and back low. This will allow the water entering the exhaust pipe to flow out and avoid damage to the ternary. Catalytic converters and mufflers. After the vehicle is turned off in the water, the water will enter the exhaust system of the vehicle along the exhaust pipe. If the driver then makes a second fire, the water will enter the cylinder from the vehicle's air intake system. Rainwater containing more impurities, once it enters the cylinder, will be easily destroyed by the movement of the piston after the vehicle is ignited, causing serious damage. The best way to deal with extinguishment in the depths of stagnant water is to call a rescue vehicle and drag it to a professional repair shop for testing and maintenance. If you encounter battery water, you should remove the battery negative wire as soon as possible to avoid short circuit due to water in the various electrical appliances on the vehicle.

6. Washing the car in the rainy season is not too busy. For the car owners in the rainy season, cleaning the car is something that many people must do after the rain. Since the road after the rain makes the car full of mud, many people like to continue to rain Frequent car washes. "If there is no special need during rainfall, it is best not to wash the car more than 3 times a week." Car washing will not only corrode the varnish of the vehicle, but also may scratch the paint surface of the car during frequent cleaning. Therefore, on frequent days of rainfall, it is best not to wash cars frequently unless there is a special need.

In addition, because intense ultraviolet rays in the summer can damage the paint, it is best for the riders to seal the vehicle after the car wash. This will not only reduce the UV damage to the varnish of the vehicle, but also make the varnish of the vehicle look very bright and increase the varnish hardness of the vehicle.
