【Safe Spring Festival Traffic Police Peers】Cars are also "on fire" in winter? A "Driving Guide" to help you travel safely

According to the Hechi traffic police:

Don't think that spontaneous combustion of cars belongs only to summer

In winter, cars can also "catch fire"

Recently, the four major teams of highway management of the traffic police detachment of the Hechi City Public Security Bureau received an alarm that a small ordinary passenger car spontaneously combusted at the entrance of the 1073KM+250M Yizhou to Jincheng River in the direction of the Jincheng River on the G78 Shankun Expressway. After receiving the police, the police responded quickly and rushed to the scene to deal with the fire, emergency and other relevant departments.

Failed to get video information

The police saw at the scene that a small ordinary passenger car was parked at the middle of the barrier and was burned to the side of the body shell, and the police immediately took the driver and occupants away from the guardrail, and set up a safety area and set up warning signs.

It is understood that the driver turned on the air conditioner during the driving, but the air conditioning system was automatically shut down when the air conditioning system failed and the vehicle began to smoke. After the driver found it, the driver honked the whistle to remind the driver that the driver noticed the abnormality, immediately stopped in the emergency lane and pulled the handbrake, just got out of the car to call the police for help, the vehicle lit a fire, and "unmanned" slid forward for a short distance until it stopped in the left lane near the middle guardrail.

With the cooperation of many parties to rescue, the fire was controlled, the accident vehicle was towed away from the scene, and the road section resumed traffic. The timely and effective handling of the police has ensured the life and health safety of the drivers and passengers.

Spontaneous combustion of cars in winter is different from summer, mainly due to oil circuits, circuits, mechanical failures and other reasons. At the same time, the winter weather is dry, and static electricity ignition may also be the cause of spontaneous combustion of the car.

Vehicle spontaneous combustion, how to deal with it?

1. When the front of the car is found to be burning or black smoke during driving, immediately pull over and stop the fire;

2. Quickly leave the burning vehicle and dial 119 to call the police;

3. When fighting with a fire extinguisher, respond to the quasi-fuel tank and combustion site; if the fire is serious, it should be immediately evacuated to a safe position and wait for the arrival of firefighters.

In addition, due to weather, road surface and other reasons:

It brings many inconveniences to winter driving

So, what else do you need to pay attention to when driving in winter?

A treasure trove of winter driving

1. Vehicle season maintenance. Do a good job in the maintenance of the vehicle in the new season, conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the vehicle braking, steering and other systems and various components such as gas pipelines, waterway pipelines, oil pipelines, etc., equip the vehicle with the necessary antifreeze devices, and add oil and gear oil according to regulations.

2. Antifreeze. In the daily maintenance of the vehicle, it is necessary to replace the antifreeze in time. Insufficient coolant should be made up, otherwise the engine water temperature will be too high, resulting in engine damage. Replace the antifreeze to strictly follow the product use method. It is necessary to check diligently and replenish diligently.

3. Pay attention to check the tires. Winter temperatures are cold, rubber in the low temperature environment is relatively hard, brittle, so whether the air pressure is normal directly affects the tire life and driving safety. If the air pressure is too low, the tire wall bend will increase, and the low temperature will easily break the tire wall rubber; the air pressure is too high will reduce the grip of the tire. Take care to check that the inflation of each tire is balanced.

4. Remove the fog in time. Since the indoor and outdoor temperature difference in winter will cause the window to condense fog, it is necessary to scientifically use the warm air defogging function. Attention should also be paid to rear window defogging to observe the situation behind the car.
