Operation of the car in the fall. What to remember?
In autumn, the car requires special care. A rainy aura can have a negative impact, for example, on a person. on the electrical system and accelerate corrosion.
Owners of older cars may experience the greatest problems during autumn rainfall. Experts from the ProfiAuto.pl network have prepared some tips to help you get through this difficult period without serious problems and failures.
Seven autumn tips for drivers
First Light:Let's check the lighting of our car, preferably at a diagnostic station. The evenings are getting longer. It is worth investing in new bulbs, adjusting and checking the condition of the headlights. We will take care of the smooth operation of fog lights, brake lights and road lights.
Second visibility:
Let's pay attention to the condition and quality of our wipers. In summer, when precipitation is less frequent, we do not pay attention to the condition of the feathers. In the fall, you should think about replacing them. Efficient rubber will collect water better, so the driver will have no problems with visibility.
Thirdly, winter fluids:
Be aware of the fluid in the cooling system - check its freezing temperature at a service center and replace it with a new one if necessary. We also replace the windshield washer fluid with a winter one that does not freeze at low temperatures. We also advise you to change the oil in a timely manner, which will provide better engine protection in cold weather. Also consider new gear oil to make it easier to shift gears in cold weather.
Fourth tire:
Good tires are essential. Check air pressure regularly. If the temperature drops below seven degrees Celsius (contract limit), change the tires to winter tires. This is best done before the first snowfall, avoiding road hassles and queues at the vulcanizer.
Fifth energy:
Let's take care of our car's electrical system by checking the battery charging current.
Sixth, climate:In the fall, it is worth replacing the cabin filter to avoid fogging the windows in the rain. We will also change the mats from fabric to rubber ones - it will be easier to clean them from water and dirt, and we will also avoid fogging of glasses, which occurs as a result of water evaporation from wet mats.
Seventh service:
A check-up with a mechanic is like a preventive visit to the doctor - it's always worth checking if everything is in order. We will ask a specialist to check the suspension, steering, level and condition of the brake fluid in our car.
