Has your car been parked for ten days, half a month or more? Want to know how long the car can be parked?
How long can the car stop normally?
It's best not to park for more than 25-30 days, otherwise there may be problems! Our car is connected with many household appliances, so it is harmful not to drive for a long time. If the parking place is an open-air parking lot, this time will be shortened.
What should I do if the car has been parked for a long time?
1, battery power loss
Stopping driving for a long time will lead to battery loss and tire aging and deformation. In order to avoid battery power loss, it is recommended to start the car once every two weeks, let it run for 10-20 minutes or go out for fun. If the car can't be parked for a long time, the anti-theft system and some equipment will generate dormant current, which consumes about 0.5% to 0.8% of electricity every day.
Although it looks like a little power loss, it will consume the battery power after a long time. If the battery is out of power for a long time, the life of the battery will be affected.
Solution: In order to avoid the loss of battery power caused by long-term shutdown, if conditions permit, it is recommended that you start the car every one or two weeks, idle for 10~20 minutes or take the car out for a walk. Pay attention to let the water temperature and oil temperature reach the normal driving state when driving, and step on the brakes more to avoid the brake disc from rusting.
2, tire aging, deformation
Tires will be deformed due to long-term stress, and the longer they are parked, the more difficult it is to recover. The main material of tire is rubber, and there is a certain proportion of rubber filling oil in it, which is similar to lubricating oil. If the tire is left for too long, rubber filling oil can not only play an effective role in lubrication, but even lead to accelerated tire aging.
Countermeasures: If it is predicted in advance that the vehicle will stop for a long time, it is best to increase the tire pressure and keep the original shape of the tire as much as possible. Reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground. Generally, 3.0-3.5bar is more suitable for storage, and the tire pressure can return to normal next time.
Before driving for the first time after a long time, you must check the tire pressure. The easiest way is to check the tire pressure sensor. If there is no sensor, you can press the tire hard with your feet to judge whether it is short of air.
3, the first start, pay attention to check the color and condition of oil, to avoid more losses!
Before starting next time, check the color of dipstick and oil. If deterioration is found, it must be replaced in time. If the maintenance cycle is up, you can go to the 4S shop to do the whole car inspection and maintenance, so that your car can be restored to its best condition.
4. The car paint is aging and the car body is corroded. Protect your car!
Parking for a long time will lead to corrosion of body metal and aging of car paint. In order to solve this problem, we suggest that the vehicle be thoroughly cleaned before long-term use, especially the garbage and perishable items in the vehicle. At the same time, try to park your car in a safe indoor parking lot to avoid the influence of sun exposure and wind and rain.
If there is no indoor parking lot, choose a cool, dry and well-ventilated place to park, or use car clothes for protection. Remember to observe the distribution of cameras in the parking lot and park your car where the cameras can shoot it, in case of emergency.
5. Clean up before driving for the first time to protect the health of you and your family!
Bacteria may breed in the car parked for a long time, which poses a threat to your health and that of your family. Therefore, before driving for the first time, it is suggested to clean the inside and outside of the car, especially in the current epidemic situation, chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide and other disinfectants or disinfection wipes can be used for cleaning and disinfection.
Keep the environment inside the car clean and give you and your family a healthy travel experience.
