The secret to taking care of cars in the hot and sunny season everyone needs to know
Car maintenance and maintenance is required periodically and throughout the year. However, Vietnam is a hot and sunny summer, with a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and a lot of rain, how to care for your car is very important.
Car experts said that the number of people who own and use cars at travel to Vietnam is increasing. However, only a few, about 20% of the drivers, knowledgeable and know how to take care of the car professionally, the rest lack the necessary knowledge.
Caring for the hot season helps reduce damage and ensure safety when driving.
Meanwhile, summer is hot and rainy and rainy, if you don't know how to take care of your car, it is easy to cause damage and unsafe.
Here are the advice from manufacturers:
Check tire
Tires should be checked regularly.
This is one of the departments that need special attention on hot sunny days. When the outdoor temperature can reach more than 40 degrees, tire pressure will also increase. Tires that are too stretched are dangerous, easy to damage parts such as shock absorbers, explosive, unsafe, especially when running at high speeds. If the tires are too small, the car will run on gas and easily eat nails.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the optimum tire pressure (this indicator is usually recorded on the driver's side door). Regularly check tire pressure on hot days, when the tire is in a cool state, or stop after about 3 hours. Also, need to check tire quality. If the tire is worn out or has expired, it must be replaced.
Replace oil soon
If the car frequently runs under high temperature or allows it to be exposed to hot weather, it is prone to deterioration, structural changes, and reduced life expectancy. Machine oil is the lifeline of the engine, helping the engine operate smoothly and efficiently. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the oil earlier than required to protect the engine. Likewise, brake fluid, power oil, and oil, digital oil should be checked and replaced if necessary.
Note cooling water
Hot sun also makes the cooling pipe easier to crack, leaking water tank.
Check the cooling water system and water tank. Hot weather can cause cooling water to drop quickly. So, if you find the water is too low, you must continue.
Hot sun also makes the cooling pipe easier to crack, leaking water tank. Evaporated water creates a lot of steam in the pipe, which can paralyze the junction position, even cause a pipe explosion. If the pipe and the joint are good, the temperature will increase, the piston will expand, leading to "bundle" phenomenon , causing damage. The overall cooling system should be checked.
With that, even the belt must be checked. The belt has the effect of running the fan, partly supporting the engine cooling process.
Pay attention to the battery
Overheating is the main cause of early death.
High temperatures in the summer quickly increase the chemical reaction of the battery, which will lead to overload and quickly reduce its lifespan, even failure. Overheating is the main cause of early death.
Maintenance conditioning many degrees
When stepping on a car from the hot weather, adjust the temperature gradually and gradually decrease.
In order for the air conditioning system to work properly, automakers often recommend users for about 6 months, so check once.
Especially in the summer, regularly check the working status of regulating, cleaning the outside surface of the water tank, outdoor unit, air filter cleaning, checking the amount of gas regulators sufficient or insufficient through gas eyes. , check the operation status of the outdoor unit fan.
When stepping on a car from the hot weather, adjust the temperature gradually and gradually decrease, so do not let the lowest temperature or operate the fan at the highest level. Because of this, it will cause the indoor unit to be overloaded, consume fuel and quickly damage.
Check the brake system
Brake system should be checked, maintained and replaced periodically. Signs need to check the brakes immediately such as: the brakes are hard, the brakes are too deep or the brake lights on the dashboard are bright.
Regularly open the lid of the oil box to check the oil color. New oil is clear, old oil has a dirty color. If the brake fluid has changed to a dark color, then it is time to replace the new brake fluid completely, not just filling it up. Check brake fluid pipeline system. Notice if there are leaked soft oil lines and hard metal pipes.
Replace the wipers
The wipers should be replaced after one year of operation.
In the summer, there is heavy rain, so cars must use a lot of wipers. After a year of operation, rain-wipers often have hard, torn boys, so they are replaced so that the vision is wide, bright and clear.
Car interior protection
High sunshine and heat in the summer are enemies of all kinds of leather or wood-clad furniture in the car, making them quickly degraded. Therefore, it is recommended to check and maintain leather parts with non-alkaline cleaners and apply natural balm, especially to vehicles that are frequently kept under hot sun.
Wash cars often
Always keep the car clean because dirt on the surface can make cars absorb more heat. However, remember to not wash the car under direct sunlight. Hot metal will dry the soap and water mixture on the paint, leaving marks on the surface of the car.
