There are several aspects to pay attention to for car maintenance in autumn: 1. Engine compartment maintenance: Check the engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant in the engine compartment to ensure they are sufficient, not deteriorated, and within the replacement cycle. These fluids are like the lifeblood of your car, and they must be replaced when due to ensure smooth circulation. 2. Brake system maintenance: Brake system care should not be neglected at any time, not just in autumn. Regularly check if the braking performance weakens or pulls to one side, and whether the brake pedal's resistance changes. If necessary, clean the entire brake system's piping. 3. Heater lines and fan maintenance: As the weather cools in autumn, frost may appear at lower temperatures. Pay special attention to whether the defrost vents under the windshield are functioning properly and providing sufficient heat. Address any issues promptly. 4. Air conditioning maintenance: Inspect the air conditioning system to ensure the pipes are intact and check if the cabin air filter needs replacement. 5. Battery maintenance: The battery terminals are the most problematic areas in autumn. If green oxide deposits are found during inspection, rinse them off with boiling water immediately. These deposits can lead to insufficient generator output, causing the battery to discharge and, in severe cases, result in battery failure or difficulty starting the car. 6. Interior maintenance: Due to high temperatures and frequent rain in summer, carpets, floor mats, and other hidden areas inside the car can harbor bacteria. It is essential to perform a thorough interior disinfection and cleaning.
