Autumn is coming and the rainy season is coming again. Cars are most prone to short circuits due to rain. In order to prolong the service life of vehicles and also to ensure the safety of our vehicles, we are now summarizing the five Raiders for the repair of five rainy vehicles for your reference.
1, check the tire pressure.
Driving on a rainy day puts higher demands on the tires. The depth of the tread pattern in the rainy season must not be less than 2 to 3 mm. It is better to ensure that the depth of the tread pattern is 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. It is best to use a special ruler to measure the tread depth. If not, use a coin or a small stick instead. In addition, too low tire pressure can increase the degree of slip. The low tire pressure increases the friction between the tire and the ground, thereby increasing the adhesion, but the adhesion is very limited compared to the pressure reduction per unit area of ​​the tire and the ground. When a car brakes in the rain, the most important thing is to have enough pressure to drain the rain between the tire and the road, so that the car can be stopped, so it is safer to maintain a high tire pressure in the rain.
2, check the vehicle lights.
Before driving in rainy weather, check whether the lighting of the vehicle is complete, especially before and after the fog lamp, because the fog lamp provides good lighting before and after the vehicle in low visibility weather, and it will be used frequently in rainy days. It cannot be the slightest problem. .
3, check the brakes.
The brake parts should also be checked to see if there is oil leakage, whether the brakes are normal, and whether the degree of wear of the brake discs and brake pads is within safe limits.
4, to maintain safe distance.
Due to the blurred vision in rainy days, owners need to ensure a safer distance than usual during driving, drive in the rain, always pay attention to the speed and direction of the vehicle ahead, and never accelerate the overtaking due to the slow speed of the front vehicle. On the expressway, due to the relatively high speed of each lane, the driver’s angle of view becomes narrower, and when the road is slippery and overtaking, the direction of the slight movement tends to cause the wheels to skid, causing the vehicle to roll over and other accidents.
5, to avoid the vehicle through the deeper road surface.
When driving in rainy weather, care must be taken to avoid passing through deeper water. If driving is unavoidable, you should set the gearbox at a low speed of 1-2 to pass through in one breath (no manual mode of the automatic model can also be linked to the L block), do not high gear low speed rush to the vehicle Pass slowly and steadily to avoid sucking water into the air filter, causing engine flooding.
