Since most of the recent weather has been sunny and rainy, many friends cannot remember some functions when driving on rainy days, or they cannot use them at all.
So today Brother Miao will talk to you about the operations that we must be able to use and remember when driving.
Use of wipers
The first one is the wiper. If there are no wipers, nothing can be seen on the front windshield. Isn't it easy to wipe the wiper? Can't it be done by just turning it down?
But don't underestimate this. If you have automatic wipers, it will be simple. You only need to turn it to automatic and it will wipe automatically.
However, many cars still use manual wipers. After coming down, the first gear is usually low gear, then medium gear, then high gear, and there is also zero gear and manual gear. Different cars may have slightly different settings.
In addition to these, in the low speed gear, because the frequency is relatively slow and the rain is neither heavy nor light, it feels too fast when you put it in the medium speed gear.
Many cars actually have a fine-tuning function. There is a small knob next to the wiper stalk, and the speed of the low gear can be fine-tuned through the knob.
In addition, if your car has automatic wipers, especially when driving on the highway, it is recommended that you set the wipers to automatic.
Treatment of water accumulation on side glass
The second thing that must be understood is the processing of the glass next to it and the rearview mirror.
Because when it rains, water often accumulates on the glass and water beads hang on the rearview mirror.
It is obvious that there is water accumulation on the side glass of Brother Miao. This is easy to deal with. Just find the corresponding glass switch button, press it down and then turn it up, and the water on the side will basically be scraped away.
Because there is a rubber strip next to our glass. The rubber strip is a bit like a glass scraper. When you put it down, it will be scraped off.
How to deal with water droplets hanging on the rearview mirror
There will be a lot of water droplets hanging on the third rearview mirror.
If your car has a rearview mirror heating function, just go to the rear defogger button and press it. At this time, the rearview mirror heating and rearview mirror fogging are all turned on.
In this way, if the rear shield fogs up, the same problem will be solved.
If this function is not available, Brother Miao recommends that you use concentrated glass water or dishwashing liquid on a paper towel and wipe the glass in a circle. This will ensure that it will not be so easy to get wet within a period of time.
Dealing with fogging of front and rear windshields
Fourth, especially when the temperature difference is large, it is especially easy to cause fogging on the front and rear shields when driving on rainy days.
Especially when the front windshield is fogged, it is very important to make sure that your AC button, that is, the compressor of the air conditioner, is turned on when turning on the defogging.
If the air conditioner compressor is not turned on and only the front damper is turned on to defogging, then not only will the fog not be removed, but it will only become worse.
Proper use of lighting
Finally, many drivers fail to use lights correctly when driving on rainy days.
Many drivers will turn on their double flashers no matter what if it rains. Of course it is easy to turn on their double flashers. I believe 99% of drivers know where the double flashers are.
But the most important thing to turn on is fog lights, especially when it rains heavily. I found that very few people turn on fog lights on the road, and most of them use double flash.
You have to know that the penetrating ability of fog lights is much greater than that of double flashing. If double flashing is turned on, the penetrating power is not that strong. Secondly, everyone turns on double flashing, and many cars do not have the turn signal priority function.
After you turn on the double flash, your turn signal will be ineffective. If you change lanes or something, the car behind you will basically not be able to correctly identify it, which can easily cause two or three traffic accidents.
Especially when some cars have an accident, he will use double flashes, and those who are not in accident will also use double flashes. Everyone will use double flashes, and it is hard to tell who is in trouble and who is not.
How to start fog lights
Therefore, it is very important to turn on the fog lights. The fog lights of most cars are on the left side of the steering wheel. Before turning on the fog lights, make sure to turn on the small lights.
If you turn on the automatic headlights, sometimes when it rains, the sky is very bright, but the visibility is very poor. At this time, your automatic lights will not turn on, and turning on the fog lights is ineffective.
So you have to manually adjust the light to the headlight level. At this time, the light icon has already lit up. After it lights up, then dial it forward.
The green one is the front fog light, and the yellow one is the rear fog light. It is very easy to turn it off in place.
You must never tell me that your car has no fog lights again. In our country, as long as it can meet
A car that is not allowed to drive on the road, even if it is equipped with front fog lights, must have rear fog lights.
Summarize
The above is what Brother Miao has summarized for you. When driving on a rainy day, you must know some of the functions on the car. If you use these functions properly, you will drive safely and others will be safe too.
