When it comes to using your car in winter, you don’t necessarily have to seal the car, but you have to pay attention to the details.

I am a knight sharing. Is it snowing where you are? Has the enthusiasm for cycling become less active as the temperature drops? In this issue, we will talk about things about using cars in winter.

1. Should cars be closed in winter?

There is no standard answer to this question. It mainly depends on personal cycling needs and actual local conditions. Because the land is divided into north and south, and people are old and young, the needs for cycling cannot be static.

For my own sake, there may be no car closures this year. Even though the lowest temperature in Qinghai has reached minus 18 degrees, and the highest is only 0 degrees, and continues to drop, as long as I can see the sun, I still like to go out for a walk. After all, it is not as cold outside as I imagined, not to mention that the enthusiasm for cycling is still there.

Of course, for some friends, cycling in winter is really not suitable. In addition to being cold, there are also certain misunderstandings and safety hazards about riding. Therefore, if you don’t have a strong desire to ride, you can also choose to close the car.

In short, whether to close the car in winter mainly depends on the actual situation of the individual. There is no need to follow the crowd, and there is no need to stand out too much. So instead of worrying about whether to seal or not, it is better to pay attention to some matters about using a car in winter.

2. What should be done specifically?

1. Completely seal

If you have made up your mind to face the biting cold wind and no longer have the urge and need to ride, then we should do some corresponding operations correctly and reasonably, so that the vehicle will be in normal service in the coming spring.

First of all, we should conduct a preliminary inspection and maintenance of the vehicle. Don't think that you don't need to care about it if you don't ride it. Instead, we should eliminate some bad factors as soon as possible to keep it parked in the most ideal condition.

The main things worth noting are the cleaning of the entire vehicle, the replacement of lubricating oil, the removal of the battery, the emptying of fuel, the inspection of tire pressure, and the selection of parking locations.

The first few items are a commonplace topic, and the parking location is easily ignored by friends. If the location chosen is not ideal, there will be the possibility of damaging the vehicle. For example, it is a very common phenomenon for wires to be gnawed by mice, so we should try our best to choose a clean, cool, and ventilated indoor parking place for vehicles.

2. Ride as usual

If you choose not to be afraid of the severe cold like me, then you should pay attention to the following items?

A. must be preheated. Don't worry about whether to preheat. Although there is no unified answer, preheating is very necessary. When the temperature is extremely low, giving the vehicle a chance to breathe and allow it to reach normal working clearance, temperature, and lubrication will only be good for the performance and life of the vehicle, not harmful.

B. Avoid car washing . No matter how dirty the car is, try not to wash the vehicle in a large area. Even if the surface of the vehicle can be kept free of moisture after washing, the water molecules accumulated in some invisible places will still affect the performance. For example, it is easy for the clutch and accelerator to become hard or unable to pull, so it is best not to wash the car.

C . Slow down and drive slowly. In winter, due to the low ambient temperature, the grip ability of tires and the actual road conditions are different from those in summer. In particular, some invisible dark ice can easily cause skidding and overturning, so you must slow down and ride with caution.

As long as you pay attention to the above three points and pay attention to personal warmth, although it is a bit cold to ride a bike in winter, it is also very enjoyable. It can not only meet the actual riding needs, but also improve driving skills. It may not lead to a life that others envy, so it is done.

In short, compared with other seasons, using a car in winter will be more cumbersome and difficult, but as long as we combine it with the actual needs of the individual, it will also have its own unique fun. Whether it is completely sealed or normal riding, it is correct.
