In September, it is obvious that the temperature difference between morning and evening has become larger. When you need to add more clothes, don’t forget to maintain your car in autumn. Autumn is a transition period between summer and winter. After experiencing high temperature and rain, your car will face the test of low temperature and wind and snow. Prepare your car in advance for autumn season maintenance. The probability of problems, so it cannot be ignored for car owners.
There is a lot of rain in summer, and the rain itself is acidic, which will corrode the paint surface. The higher UV radiation in summer can also cause damage to the paint surface. Therefore, in the autumn season, the first maintenance is to take care of the car paint surface and do enough “face engineering”. What care should be done depends on the specific conditions of your vehicle. If the paint surface is still bright, you only need to clean the vehicle and then wax the body. Waxing, sealing glaze and a series of beauty care. In addition, it is necessary to remind car owners that there is more dew in autumn. If the car has obvious scratches, it should be painted in time to prevent the scratched parts from being damp and rusted.
In the fall, you should always check whether the liquid level of brake oil, booster pump oil, antifreeze, etc. in the engine compartment is within the normal range, and also pay attention to whether the color of the liquid level is normal and whether it is time for replacement. In addition, some car owners may directly use tap water instead of antifreeze for some emergency reasons in summer. In the autumn when the weather turns cooler, there are great hidden dangers. Once the temperature drops sharply, it is very likely to affect the normal operation of the car cooling system. , so the antifreeze must be replaced after the fall. It is also necessary to remind car owners that the service life of car antifreeze is usually two years. If the car owner uses antifreeze in summer, as long as the service period is not exceeded and the freezing point is lower than the minimum temperature in winter, there is no need to specially replace the antifreeze in autumn.
Tire is self-evident for the safety of vehicle driving. Since the working environment of tires in summer and winter is quite different, it is necessary to do tire inspections in advance in autumn. In order to cope with the high temperature in summer, the tire pressure value is generally relatively low to prevent tire blowout, and in autumn, the tire pressure should be appropriately supplemented to keep it within the specified pressure range. Care should also be taken to check the tires for small scratches. Because the tires are easy to harden and increase in brittleness in winter when the temperature is low, some scratches that were not very obvious before will have the hidden danger of increasing and leaking air, which will affect the driving safety, so it must be checked carefully.
The humid environment in summer will cause the growth of bacteria in the car, and many car owners place plush toys in the car, which is also a “hotbed” for dust and bacteria. In addition, seats, carpets, instrument panels, floor mats, seat gaps, the inside of doors, and the trunk also have places where dust and bacteria are easy to accumulate. In autumn, as the low temperature decreases, the number of times the windows are opened is significantly reduced, which makes the problems left over from these summers become serious. The relatively closed interior space will make the air quality in the car very poor and affect the health of passengers in the car. , so it is necessary to do a thorough cleaning of the vehicle interior. The main purpose of this cleaning is to sterilize, so it is best to use a professional cleaning agent when cleaning. When cleaning, it will descale, remove odors in the car, and sterilize at the same time. After cleaning, it is best to use a protective agent to care for the interior again, which will keep the effect for a longer time!
Windshield defrosting is neglected by many car owners. When the weather turns cooler in autumn, white frost will appear when the temperature is low. If the defrosting function is not normal, it will have a great impact on the driver’s vision, which will bring many troubles and unsafe factors to driving. Therefore, in the autumn maintenance, special attention should be paid to testing whether the air output from the defrosting air outlet under the windshield is normal and whether the heat is sufficient. If there is a problem, it must be solved in time.
