Go by car

Note 1: Check the route to avoid traffic jams

The May Day holiday is approaching, when the spring is blooming, and this period has also become the peak period for "donkey friends" to travel. It's needless to say that the traffic is heavy, but please check the route before you travel to avoid congestion peaks. The transportation departments of various regions have introduced relevant management measures during the May Day, and hope that you can pay more attention when you travel.

Note 2: Travel safety check the vehicle status

Before traveling, vehicle inspections should not be forgotten. First, tire inspection is the key. As the only part of the vehicle that is in contact with the ground, the safety inspection is the top priority before traveling. Suggest that the owner is out

Go to various professional tire repair shops to do safety inspections for tires and easily go on the road. At the same time, you also need to check whether the engine oil is sufficient, and the key components such as brakes, steering, and lights are running well.

Note three: pay attention to food hygiene and cleanliness first

Traveling on May 1 will naturally not treat the stomach badly. However, please also pay attention to food hygiene. Currently, swine flu is sweeping the world. Countries around the world have taken emergency measures one after another to prevent epidemic entry. Although there is no epidemic in China, you need to be more cautious. The possibility of human swine flu infection still exists, we must strengthen prevention and control.

The May Day holiday is approaching, when the spring is blooming, this period has become the peak period for "donkey friends" to travel. If you choose to travel by car, be sure to do a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of your car before traveling.

Tire inspection is the key

Tires are the basic guarantee for cars to drive, brake, and turn. Tires are like cars to people. Checking tires before traveling is a must.

First check the appearance of the tires to see if there is any damage or excessive wear. The tires have some triangle symbols on the sides. When the wear limit is reached, there is a sign. If excessive wear is found, the tires must be replaced.

In addition, most of the current models use radial tires, and the sidewall of this tire is its weakest part. In daily driving, bumping into a deep hole or rubbing along the street may form a bulge. If it is found that the tire bulge should be replaced in time, otherwise it is easy to cause a flat tire when driving at high speed.

In addition, the tire should also ensure a reasonable air pressure, if there is no condition, you can go to the 4S shop to detect. In addition to the detection of the four tires that have been installed, special attention should also be paid to check the condition of the spare tires.

Check if the oil is enough

Whether the engine oil is enough is related to whether the engine can work normally. The inspection step is to pull out the dipstick first, wipe it clean with a cloth, and re-insert it under the premise of shutting down the engine-try to insert the dipstick to the end, otherwise the reading will be inaccurate. Finally, pull out the dipstick to check the oil level at the end of the dipstick.

If the oil level is lower or slightly higher than the low oil level line, you need to remove the oil filler cap and refill the engine oil. The amount of oil that needs to be refilled is based on the level between the low oil level line and the high oil level line on the dipstick.

In addition, fill up your fuel tank as much as possible before traveling. If you must refuel in the field, you should choose a regular gas station, and consider adding gasoline with a slightly higher label.

Brakes and other details need extra attention

Driving for a long time and a long distance is a test for the brake system, especially for vehicles that will run on mountain roads and high speeds, it is necessary to carefully check the brake system. With the engine cooled, check the transparent coolant tank. If the brake fluid is lower than required, check the pipeline for leaks in addition to the brake fluid. At the same time, whether the brake disc and friction lining are excessively worn should also be carefully checked.

Check the vehicle carefully before you travel, especially the key components such as brakes, steering, lights, wipers, horns, door locks and water tanks. These parts are often places that owners often overlook.

Every time the long holiday comes, many 4S stores will hold free testing activities to give back to users. Car owners can pay more attention to it. If they are not confident about self-testing, it is the most reliable thing to go to a professional 4S store to do full-vehicle testing.
