Brief Summary
This video provides five essential tips for safe driving in rainy conditions. It covers turning off the auto start-stop function, using the defogging features, avoiding disabling the vehicle stabilization system, turning on fog lights, and utilizing the rear windshield defogging function to heat the side mirrors.
- Disable auto start-stop to prevent engine damage in deep water.
- Use front windshield defogging for clear visibility.
- Keep the vehicle stabilization system active to avoid skidding.
- Turn on fog lights to prevent rear-end collisions.
- Use rear windshield defogging to heat side mirrors.
Turn Off Auto Start-Stop
The first tip involves turning off the automatic start-stop function when driving in rainy conditions. This is because the engine is more likely to stall in deep water, and attempting to restart it can cause severe engine damage, leading to high repair costs. Disabling this feature prevents the engine from automatically turning off and on, reducing the risk of water damage.
Use Front Windshield Defogging
The second tip focuses on visibility. When it rains, the car's glass tends to fog up, which impairs the driver's vision. To counter this, the video advises turning on the front windshield defogging function as soon as you get into the car. Activating this feature ensures a clear field of vision, making driving safer in rainy weather.
Keep Vehicle Stabilization System Active
The third tip warns against disabling the vehicle stabilization system. The narrator specifically advises not to press the button for the vehicle stabilization system. Disabling this system increases the risk of skidding and rollovers, making it crucial to keep it active during rainy conditions to maintain vehicle control.
Turn On Fog Lights
The fourth tip emphasizes the importance of turning on the vehicle's fog lights. Fog lights have a strong penetrating power, which is particularly useful in rainy conditions where visibility is reduced. Using fog lights helps prevent rear-end collisions by making the vehicle more visible to other drivers.
Use Rear Windshield Defogging for Side Mirrors
The fifth tip addresses the issue of water droplets on the rear-view mirrors. Many drivers may not realize that their car has a mirror heating function. By turning on the rear windshield defogging function, the side mirrors will automatically heat up, clearing the water droplets and improving visibility. This provides a simple solution for maintaining clear rear visibility in rainy weather.
