In winter, it can dig out its “swallow” from under the snow, and in summer – sprinkle sand on a slippery section of the road, for example, after rain. This is a very simple advice, but most drivers ignore it. Because of this, they often find themselves in a snow ambush, although one small shovel would quickly solve the problem.

But daily bypassing the car and meticulous inspection of each light bulb can be quite boring. There's a solution. And it's pretty simple. You need to get as close as possible to a wall and turn on all the lighting elements. First the front, and then turn the car around, and do the same manipulations. So you will immediately see on the wall whether each light emits normally. Quickly and without too much fuss.

But this trick will help and ordinary car, which is stuck in the snow. The situation is not easy, but if you put pressure on the driving wheels, it can work. The area of coupling of the tire with the ground will increase, so it will be possible to escape from the snow captivity.

Experienced drivers use special devices to eject pressure. This is a car wheel, not a bicycle wheel. But if there are no such devices and you need to flush air from the tire manually, then watch your hands. Long fuss in the snow in the cold can lead to frostbite of the fingers. Be not only attentive, but also extremely careful.

What to say about the corners of the windshield, where the wipers simply do not reach. Infuriating, isn't it? But getting out of this situation is very simple.

There is no need to wash or run around the car with a rag. Remove the janitor, remove the traces of the previous wash, fix the janitor in place.



You had no idea before, but the rear-view mirror can have two modes of operation. The first is standard. The second is with blackout. This mode is provided to protect the eyes of the driver from the blinding light of the headlights of cars. It can also be used if the sun is too bright and it also interferes with normal viewing. Pay attention to your mirror, perhaps it is equipped with such a chip.



Near the engine, novice motorists can discover a mysterious indicator with a tiny colored ball inside. They mistake it for a light bulb. This is actually a float with a color indicator. It indicates the density and presence of electrolyte in the battery. But judging the serviceability of the “heart of the car” is not worth just one such indicator. It is better to repair the battery in a checked car service.
