In addition, the use of air conditioning for a long time, the air filter dust above the accumulation of more, the harmful fungi through the air conditioning blowing in the car, but also hinder the air intake and greatly reduce the heating efficiency of the hot air, it is recommended that owners to regularly clean the 4S shop air conditioning pipe and air filter.
Tire maintenance: anti-skid explosion-proof
In the cold winter, the tire rubber hardens, relatively crisp, not only the friction coefficient is greatly reduced, but also easier to leak, tie tire.
