Hard frosts in Russia can hardly surprise anyone. However, the cold winter brings a lot of problems to motorists. After all, often car owners in a deep minus on the street are faced with a situation when the folding mirrors of the car freeze, the door handles do not open, and in general the car does not start. But not all motorists know how to deal with the consequences of such phenomena.
Instructions
Step 1
If your car is so cold that you can't even open the door, you need to start resuscitating it. First, try to open the lock with a key, not an alarm key fob or immobilizer. In the event that the lock does not respond, it must be warmed up. Any open source of fire is suitable for this: a lighter, paper burning from one tip, or a special automotive product for thawing frozen parts. Various alcohol-containing liquids are also quite successfully used. Warm up the lock by periodically trying to re-insert the key and turn it. Sooner or later you will succeed.
Step 2
In the case when your car is on the alarm, after opening the doors you need to immediately try to turn it off. For this, there is a special button inside the car. The main task is to remember where it is located.
Step 3
The next test that you can survive in a frozen car is refusal to start the car. When you turn the key in the ignition over and over again, you cannot hear the hum of the engine. So that the car can still start, experts recommend not driving the starter for more than 15 seconds. If during this time the engine does not respond to your attempts, wait a couple of minutes. Then try again. However, if after 3-4 attempts the car still does not start, do not try again. Otherwise, you risk ruining the engine completely.
Step 4
In order not to get into an unpleasant situation with a frozen engine, prepare for winter in advance - buy a special device for warming up frozen car engines. This heater is a small device that is powered from a 220 volt network. Its cost is about 3000 rubles.
Step 5
It will also be easier for you to start the car in winter frosts if you carefully monitor your iron horse. This requires that the vehicle always has a fully charged battery. Only the best in engine and transmission oil should be used. Sometimes experts recommend pouring a little gasoline into the oil at night. This will prevent the most important parts of the car from freezing.
Step 6
Since the battery in the car first of all freezes, you can get rid of problems with the plant in the morning by simply taking the battery into heat.
Step 7
To prevent the glass from freezing in the car, after you arrive at your destination, open all the doors. Stand next to the car for 3-4 minutes while the interior is ventilated. In this way, you equalize the temperature difference between a warm interior and cold outside air.
