Returning home for the New Year is naturally exciting, but it's also important to take a few minutes to check your car before you set out. Have no money, go home for the New Year. At this time, you go to the 4S shop to check the car often can not even line up, and some busy people are directly no time, then spend 5 minutes self-check it, perhaps not as comprehensive as the 4S shop, but still can eliminate a lot of hidden dangers.

Self-examination step: Check the tire pressure and tire wound

It doesn't matter how the car is driven to and from work every day, after all, the speed is not fast, but the high-speed tire is the most important, so it is also the most important inspection item. Check the tire first is to see, observe the outside of the tire for obvious scars, bulges, or major damage to the cord, if there is, it is not recommended to open the bad tire on the high speed. In addition, it is also recommended to pick out large stones stuck in the tread, which will still affect the grip and noise.

Monitor tire pressure after tire exterior is clear. At this time, you need a tire pressure gauge, this I recommend that each owner have one, Taobao is very cheap, like I am directly to take the emergency bag tire pressure gauge to test, after the test compare the standard tire pressure, do not differ too much. The basic problem is not big within 0.2 of the standard, the tire pressure on both sides of the tire should be smaller, if the difference is too much, it is recommended to adjust the tire pressure.

Step 2: Check the glass water

Windshield glass is not sure what dirty things, especially the dusty road surface, the consumption of glass water is very fast, and it is necessary to ensure enough glass water.

What to add depends on your own needs, the students in the north must add regular glass water. In fact, many 4S shops and repair shops in the south are directly poured pure water, if you have a heart, it is better to deploy their own, of course, the requirement here is to ensure that the glass water inside is enough. How do you add it? It's really simple, just find this wiper like sign from the cabin and pour it in.

Step 3: Check the spare tire/warning plate/tire change tool

Before the long run, the trunk cover, which had been barely opened before, had to be opened, and some of the big guys might have bothered to leave some important items at home. First check the danger alarm sign is not in, this is a necessary product, if the traffic police check the car, without this some places also fine fine points, and you can not pass the annual review. Then check if the whole set of tire changing tools is there, and don't leave important items such as jacks behind. At the end of the day, see if the spare tire has enough gas. We certainly hope we don't have to, but the risk factor goes through the roof without these things on the highway, so be sure to check.

Step 4: Check your lights and fog/wiper

Whether from south to north or north to south, the road conditions are changeable. It often happens that after going through a tunnel it is like entering a fairyland, the visibility is much worse than you expect. At this time, the ability to quickly turn on fog lights and double flashing lights is very important. I know a lot of friends who don't use fog lights. In addition, it is raining and cold, this time the car is very easy to fog, these may be in the south driving friends have not encountered, learn to use their own car quickly fog is also very important.

The above said so much, really check down also 5 minutes easy to get things done, do some homework before the highway in order to be prepared. Of course, if conditions, go to the 4S shop for a full body check is safer.
