4. Check the height of the electrolyte surface of the battery, 10-15mm above the plate is normal, if the liquid level is low, you need to add distilled water. Check whether the specific gravity of the electrolyte is normal (the life of the battery used in Fukang vehicles is generally about two years. If the starting voltage is too low, it should be replaced in time).

Fifth, check whether the brake fluid level meets the requirements, and add it when it is insufficient. Check the front brake pads for wear.

  Self-drivers gently remind you to watch out for fatigue while driving ———

Owners who travel for the first time by car must be careful to avoid fatigue during driving! According to statistics from relevant departments, more than one-third of major traffic accidents on the road are caused by fatigue driving. The main causes of fatigue driving are: first, too much excitement before travel or other reasons that lead to insufficient sleep, temporary brain blanks will appear during driving, and cause accidents. Second, failing to make a good trip plan in advance, not knowing the road conditions, and not being able to reasonably arrange work and rest to cause fatigue driving. Third, the spirit is highly concentrated during driving, and the eyes are constantly staring at the center line of the highway, which will cause visual and psychological tension, which leads to fatigue driving. A simple way to prevent driving fatigue: stop nearby when a fatigue signal is generated, get off and walk around for at least 10 minutes. If you still feel tired, take a nap in the car until you feel recovered.

  The car repair shop master tells you-

Tire burst during driving How to do a sudden tire burst during driving will cause serious deviation and leaning of the vehicle. Improper handling will cause driving accidents. The correct treatment method should be treated separately: first, if the rear tire bursts, the rear of the car will sway. In this regard, the driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car straight, and then step on the brake pedal several times to make the car brake and move the pressure of the vehicle forward by inertia to reduce the pressure on the rear tire. Then stop the car slowly. Never stop by emergency braking in order to avoid the vehicle from sliding and damaging the wheels. Second, if the front tire bursts and the car deviates sharply, it is easy to cause an accident at high speed. In this regard, the driver should control the steering wheel with both hands, relax the throttle, keep the vehicle running straight, and use the engine traction resistance to brake the vehicle to make it stop safely. Never use emergency braking to prevent increased deviation or slip.

How to make a claim after an accident, the insurance company Miss Wang suggested-

When you really have a traffic accident, you should follow the following steps to make a claim: Step 1: You should protect the first scene of the incident, and report to the traffic management department in the place where the accident occurred in time, and the traffic control department will carry out the site investigation of the accident. If you are determined to be responsible, you must report to the insurance company regardless of the responsibility; if you are determined to be irresponsible, you do not have to report to the insurance company. Because it will determine whether you can get back when you renew your insurance next year. Step 2: Report the case in time. Bring your insurance policy, driving license and driver's license (if you are detained, you don't need to bring it), drive the damaged car to your insurance company, and fill out the "Vehicle Danger Registration Form" and "Danger Notification" in the claims department , To assist insurance claimants to check out the dangerous vehicles. The third step: fixed loss. Take the "Vehicle Risk Registration Form" to the loss-determining personnel of the Claims Department, and determine the repair items and repair costs. After the damage is fixed, you will be given a "Fixed Loss Order". You must pay attention to: 1. Don't miss the repair; 2. Note that the repair cost cannot be set too low to prevent insufficient repairs. The fourth step: repair the car. When you send the car, you must take the "fixed loss order" and give it to the repair shop together with the car. The repair shop will repair the car according to the items stipulated in the "Fixed Loss Order". After the car is repaired, pay the repair fee with the "Car Bill" and return your car. At the same time, you will be asked for the car repair invoice stamped with the official seal of the repair shop, "Consignment Repair Sheet", "Construction Sheet", and "Material Bill". Step 5: Issue an accident certificate. Take the repair invoice of the other party's car and go to the traffic police team to close the case with the other party's owner, get a "Certificate of Accident" stamped with the official seal, and you can get back your detained certificate. Step 6: Submit documents. Send the prepared "risk notice", "fixed loss order", car repair invoice, "consignment repair order", "construction order", "material list", "accident certificate", "indemnity settlement statement" to the insurance company to settle the claim Department, you can wait to receive compensation. The seventh step: claim compensation. After about a week, you will receive an insurance company's claim for payment of compensation, and you can bring your official seal, identification certificate and the "Vehicle Insurance Registration Form" to recover the compensation. After returning from the trip, you should also take your car to a car repair shop for a maintenance inspection.
