Summer High Temperature: Safety Driving Guide for Semi-Trailers

High summer temperatures can easily reduce drivers' sleep quality. When driving, it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep and try to avoid driving during noon hours to reduce the risk of fatigued driving.

Preventing engine overheating: Strengthen the inspection and maintenance of the cooling system, remove debris from the radiator, and overhaul the thermostat, water pump, and cooling fan. Regularly check and replenish the coolant level, pay attention to the water temperature gauge while driving, and immediately stop and open the cabin for heat dissipation if the water temperature is too high. Do not add water immediately after the engine "boils"; slowly open the radiator cap to prevent scalding from steam.

Preventing lubrication and fuel issues: High temperatures reduce oil viscosity, so summer lubricating oil should be used and replaced regularly. Vehicles are prone to fuel "vapor lock" when driving on poor roads or at low speeds, causing difficulty in starting or acceleration. In such cases, stop in a cool place to cool down.

Battery and air conditioning usage: The electrolyte in the battery evaporates quickly in summer. Regularly check the liquid level and add electrolyte in time. Long-term use of air conditioning can easily cause oxygen deficiency in the car, damage the refrigeration system. It is recommended to turn off the air conditioning or open windows for ventilation when the temperature is appropriate.

Driving aids and tire maintenance: Wear light-colored qualified sunglasses in summer to avoid judgment errors caused by dark sunglasses. Tires are prone to blowouts due to high-temperature softening. Regularly check tire pressure; when overheated with high pressure, stop in a cool place to cool down, and avoid pouring cold water or deflating. Zonxin's semi-trailer axles are made of high-strength materials with excellent heat dissipation, and combined with durable suspension systems, they can reduce tire wear caused by bumps.

Brake system maintenance: High temperatures easily cause brake fluid evaporation and form vapor lock. Replace brake fluid and bleed air in time. Use low gears for engine braking when going down long slopes. Zonxin's suspension systems have good buffering performance, and together with stable axle structures, they can improve braking stability and ensure safe driving.
