1. Choose the right tires: You can choose professional snow tires, which can exert excellent grip and drainage ability on ice and snow. If you encounter snow and ice weather on the way and cannot replace the snow wheels in time, you can deflate the tires of Sinotruk trucks to increase the contact surface between the tires and the ground and improve the grip of the tires.
2. Avoid sharp steering: Avoid sharp steering, sharp acceleration or sudden braking when driving in snow, and should drive at a low speed as much as possible. Snowfall can lead to icy roads or muddy roads, reducing tire grip. If the vehicle is skidding while driving, release the accelerator immediately. Do not slam on the brakes, as this will likely cause a sideslip. If a skid has occurred, release the brakes immediately, allowing the steering wheel to regain control of the car. Slow steering. When turning, you should also decelerate first, appropriately increase the turning radius and turn the steering wheel slowly. The operation of the steering wheel should be smooth and gentle, otherwise, side slip will occur, and the rear of the car will be thrown to the outside.
3. Don't refuel too hard: After the tire rotates at high speed, the adhesion to the ground will be reduced, and it is easy to slip. Truck drivers remember to lift the clutch slowly, add oil lightly, and usually start in 2nd gear. At this time, you can choose 3rd gear to start to reduce torque. If there is a slippage at the start, immediately fully retract the accelerator, adjust the steering wheel slightly, and ensure that the vehicle drives into the correct driving direction.
4. Don't change lanes frequently: Don't change lanes frequently. When it is necessary to overtake a vehicle, keep a sufficient safety distance from the vehicle being overtaken, and do not rush back to the original road after overtaking, but leave enough distance from the vehicle behind before returning to the original road.
5. Use the inertial braking of the engine: It is necessary to drive slowly in a low gear on icy and snowy roads. It is necessary to make full use of the "traction" braking of the engine to decelerate, and to maintain the adhesion between the wheels and the road through the "traction" braking of the engine. Much better than using the foot brake. If you want to drive at low speeds, then consider driving in a lower gear and keep the engine revs slightly higher. If you lift the throttle gradually, you get engine braking. Regardless of whether a truck is equipped with ABS or not, it is a good idea to pre-apply the brakes a few times before braking, so as to remind the vehicle behind to slow down to avoid rear-end collision. At present, many products of Dongfeng have engine braking function.
6. Use snow chains to increase friction: I think I don’t want to say that everyone knows the role of snow chains. After installing snow chains, it increases the friction between the tires and the ice and snow road, making driving more stable. Take out the snow chains in time after the road surface, otherwise the tires will be greatly damaged. It is particularly worth mentioning that the drive axle of the tractor and the rear axle of the trailer must be equipped with snow chains. Small snow chains solve big problems.
7. Pay attention to going up and down the slope: when going up and down the slope in the snow, it is very dangerous. When going up the slope, you must keep a double distance from the vehicle in front, and strive to complete the climb "in one go". In case the wheels slip due to ice on the ground when climbing, you can sprinkle some sand or felt on the front and rear of the wheels to increase the friction. If necessary, tools can also be used to make horizontal grooves on the hard ice on the ground to prevent the wheels from slipping. When going downhill, shift to first gear smoothly and use the lower gear to reduce the speed of the vehicle. on the road, but to pull enough distance from the car behind before returning to the original road.
