What parts of the car do you need to check for intercity driving? Long-distance driving is different from ordinary short-distance driving. Long-distance driving involves using the car for a long time. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of vehicles, vehicle inspection before leaving the vehicle is an indispensable and important link.
If you are a novice and close to the 4S shop, please make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance, and then drive to the 4S shop to tell them that you will make a long-distance trip next time, and ask the staff of the after-sales 4S shop maintenance master to do relevant inspections, which is more worry-free and convenient, because novices don't know much about all aspects of the vehicle.
At most, you can intuitively see whether there are any abnormal tips on the dashboard of the vehicle. If you have a long driving time and some experience, you can check the basic situation of the vehicle in your own car. You must be familiar with the condition of the vehicle. If the car doesn't drive for a day, the tire will reach its life, usually five or six years.
Calculated by mileage, the service life of tires is 50 thousand to 80 thousand kilometers. If you are a new car, including a quasi-new car that has been driving for one or two years, and the mileage is less than 50,000 kilometers, you basically don't need to check the tires. If it is not a new car and has been in operation for more than two years, be sure to check the tires before long-distance driving.
Tire inspection includes two aspects, one is to check the surface quality, and the other is to check the tire pressure. The quality of tire surface mainly depends on whether there are cracks, bumps and damages on the tire surface. All this is visible to the naked eye. If you are not sure, you can go to the tire shop to check.
Brake pads are also wearing parts. As the brake pad becomes thinner, the braking effect will be reduced. Braking efficiency is equally important to our driving safety. It is very dangerous if the car drives too fast to stop. Therefore, it is necessary to check the brake pads, and the minimum thickness should not be less than 0.5 cm.
Lighting inspection is also very necessary. When driving at night or in rainy and foggy weather, the lighting system can provide us with a good inspection. Once there is a problem, the popularity will be reduced and there will be certain risks. In addition, the turn signal is also very important, which can remind the following car to avoid danger when changing lanes or overtaking.
In winter, many people don't like to turn on the air conditioner in the car, because the car feels warm as soon as the door is closed, and the air conditioning is not very good. Because the air conditioner is rarely used, everyone thinks it is unnecessary to clean it. In fact, this idea is wrong, because the air circulation in the car is not smooth and bacteria are easy to multiply, so the air conditioner in the car should be cleaned before long-distance driving.
By the way, check whether the air conditioner has been broken for a long time, so that I don't think about it when driving for a long time. When I tried to use the air conditioner, I found that it didn't work. The engine oil has the function of lubricating the engine, so I must check whether the engine oil is sufficient before long-distance driving.
If it is not enough, it should be added in time to avoid engine oil shortage during driving. Wiper, many people don't check it when driving at high speed, especially in rainy and snowy weather. When they started speeding, they found that the wiper didn't work. If they are still worried, throw a spare wiper blade in the trunk just in case.
Driving license, driver's license, ID card and other documents must be brought together, and some cash should be brought along the way. Although it is convenient to pay by scanning the code with electronic code now, sometimes it is necessary to prepare cash. In addition, it is suggested to prepare the vehicle-mounted first aid kit, tire repair tools, portable air pump, cable puller, grease, towing rope, winch and fire extinguisher beside the vehicle.
In addition, there are emergency medical kits. , should be part of the emergency package. The coach will work for a long time. At this time, it is necessary to prepare enough different oil products in advance, such as oil level, antifreeze level, brake fluid level and power steering fluid level.
