For cars, the knowledge about autumn maintenance is also a problem that everyone has to pay attention to. Due to some wear and tear caused by cars in summer, we can carry out maintenance in autumn. In addition, it is also for the coming winter to make a safer precaution for the car. Then, before the arrival of winter, here are a few autumn maintenance tips to share with you. Take a notebook and take notes quickly!
Maintenance of vehicle exterior
In autumn, with the increase of rainfall, at the same time, the rain contains acidic components, so if your car gets too much rain, it will corrode the paint. Therefore, it is suggested that the car owner can wax and seal the glaze while keeping the car clean, so that a protective film can be formed on the car paint, which is not only resistant to high temperature, acid and alkali, but also corrosion.
In addition, there are some inconspicuous places outside the car that deserve our attention, such as the lock cylinder of the door. Although the lock cylinder is not used much at ordinary times, it can still play a role in an emergency, such as the battery of the remote control is dead. Therefore, if conditions permit, you can put a little oil on it to prevent rust.
Maintenance of in-vehicle air conditioner
With the increase of rain in autumn, it is common for people to drive with water, so there will be some dirt under the condenser of air conditioner. If the condenser is not cleaned for a long time, it will rust and the life of air conditioner will be shortened. Then a friend who has a filter screen type air conditioner can take it down and clean it with a vacuum cleaner, which is very convenient and fast. But if your car's filter is made of activated carbon, you can't operate it yourself. You have to go to the shop to clean it.
In addition, before entering the winter, it is also recommended that you disinfect the air conditioner first, because bacteria and fungi will appear when the air conditioner is not used for a long time, and it will inevitably have an unpleasant smell when it is turned on for the first time, which is also harmful to human health.
Maintenance of tires
Tires play an important role in the safe driving of automobiles. Because of the high temperature in summer, the tire pressure should not be too high, otherwise there will be a danger of puncture! In autumn, because the temperature is relatively low, it is necessary to add air pressure to the tires to keep them within the specified air pressure range. At the same time, check whether the tire has scratches, because rubber is more likely to harden, become brittle, leak easily and even puncture the tire in autumn and winter! Therefore, we should always clean up the larger inclusions in the tread pattern.
Maintenance of chassis
When the rain increases in autumn, the road surface is prone to water accumulation, and it is easier for vehicles to splash when driving. The first splash is the chassis of the car. The chassis of the car carries many key parts, which is naturally the focus of anti-corrosion! For us, we can use oil cleaner to clean the chassis. However, in order to save trouble, some friends directly wash the chassis with laundry detergent. In fact, this will affect the anti-rust effect of the chassis.
Cleaning of exhaust pipe
The exhaust pipe can be said to be the dead corner of the car's autumn maintenance, and most car owners will not pay attention to this place. In autumn, as the temperature drops slowly, water dripping from the exhaust pipe also happens from time to time. If the exhaust pipe of your car is not tilted enough, it can't drain water effectively. In case of high temperature, the water left on it will corrode the exhaust pipe of your car. So if you have time, you can use a small brush to clean the inside and outside of the exhaust pipe 10 cm or so.
In addition to the above points, the autumn maintenance of automobiles also includes the maintenance of engines and pipelines. It is more difficult for us to do it ourselves in these places, so I suggest you go to a regular 4S shop to check. In fact, no matter what kind of car it is, it is better to buy it well than to keep it well, because only by maintaining it well can the car we like maximize its service life, ensure its good condition and bring us a safer driving experience.
