When the vehicle deviates on icy roads, avoid using emergency braking or sharp steering to evade. Instead, utilize the engine's drag effect to decelerate or stop. The most crucial aspects of driving in snowy conditions are heightened attention, maintaining a steady speed, and keeping a safe distance. Correct operation methods: The first thing to do is to stop the automatic start brake, bring the vehicle to a halt, and sound the horn. After stopping, observe the surrounding environment to check for other vehicles. At this point, you can request assistance from traffic police and park the vehicle in a designated parking spot. Precautions for driving in snowy conditions: Reduce speed: Due to the extremely low adhesion of icy roads, to prevent the vehicle from skidding or colliding with other vehicles, drive at a reduced speed and maintain a safe distance. The longitudinal safe distance should be three times that on dry roads. Turn the steering wheel slowly: When turning on icy roads, gradually release the accelerator pedal in advance, decelerate smoothly, and turn the steering wheel slowly. Avoid sudden movements. If road and traffic conditions permit, appropriately increase the turning radius to turn earlier or less, preventing wheel skidding. Slow down in advance when meeting another vehicle: When encountering another vehicle on icy roads, choose a safe and wide section of the road, slow down in advance, stabilize the steering wheel, and pass slowly on the right side. Try to increase the lateral distance between the two vehicles and maintain an appropriate distance from the roadside. If necessary, stop and yield.

What to Do When Water Enters the Fuel Tank and the Car Won't Start?

If the engine can start and run normally, you can add some fuel additives, such as fuel tank water remover or fuel system cleaner, to help the engine burn more efficiently. If the engine fails to start normally, accompanied by insufficient power and vehicle shaking, this situation needs to be resolved at a repair station. Remove the spark plugs, disconnect the fuel injector connectors, and crank the starter until the water in the cylinders is drained. Then, replace the engine oil and reinstall the spark plugs and fuel injector connectors.

How to Adjust Wiper Arm Pressure?

Flathead screwdriver, two adjustable wrenches (one for fixing, one for adjusting, or pliers can be used as a substitute). Lift the wiper blade along the angle of the windshield for a certain distance, then raise the wiper arm outward. To prevent accidental damage during maintenance. Place a towel over the wiper arm to avoid scratching the paint during adjustment. Use one wrench to secure the elbow, and gently twist the other wrench in different directions. If the wiper pressure is too high, add a pull ring at the hook. This reduces the spring's extension, thereby decreasing the pressure.
