Accu car care tips

Almost all types of vehicles, particularly car, generally use Accu. Its function is to start the engine and activate the ignition system works, making the role of the battery can not be underestimated, even into the category of very important. Therefore, the battery also need special attention and care.

In the Accu, there are toxic materials that contain lead and sulfuric acid, so it could not careless handling. For that, there are a few tips that can help you in caring for Accu, among others:

  1. The first step is to read the manual or user manual before using the Accu.
  2. Keep the Accu from the fire as they may release flammable hydrogen gas or explode. Therefore, store the Accu in a safe place.
  3. Use protective goggles, masks, and gloves when handling Accu. Sulfuric acid contained in the battery if the affected hand will be itchy and will harm the body if inhaled. In fact, the effect will be very harmful if the eye as it can make blindness.
  4. Should not be carelessly discard used Accu in the garbage because the batteries contain toxic materials. Rather than dispose of used Accu, it is worthwhile to conduct trade in (trade) with the store where you buy a new Accu because generally they did receive a result of battery used. This is possible because batteries contain lead that can be processed and recycled for reuse.
  5. It is better if the battery is kept away from water because it will lead to a short circuit and can cause rust on the head of the Accu, thus affecting the quality of the generated electric current. With proper care, undoubtedly battery in your car and still function perfectly well.

Let’s Check the Car

0 300x225 Lets Check the CarMaybe you just travel a lot with the car carrying the children of the holidays. If you have time, there was nothing wrong with the vehicle so check back in a fit condition.

Concentrate checks, in addition to doing well on the machine components under the body such as the tie-rod, suspension, and brakes

Moreover, during the trip, the wheels (especially front) could hit the holes, bad roads, or beat a hard object. If it this way, the legs of risky taxable impact. To ensure normal conditions, try to feel the steering wheel vibrate at high speed racing.

Or the wheel when removed from the hands of our run to the left or right. That means the legs need spooring car, in the form of re-adjustment on the steering angles, such as camber, caster, and toe.

But before spooring and balancing (wheel), first check the condition of the feet such as tie rods, tie rods long, and other parts. Because, if there is any damage, even when in-spooring results are not perfect.

After the legs, moved into the engine. Find the potential leakage of oil or water from the radiator. Make sure all the engine dry of oil and radiator water seepage.

After the long walk, usually evaporate quickly and dilute the oil when the engine in very hot conditions. Notice the bottom of the cylinder heads and engine blocks. When you find seepage, quickly replace the gasket.

Then check the radiator, ranging from hoses, lattice, and the reservoir tube. If no leaks, check your battery water and make sure the water volume is at maximum level.

Furthermore, the V-belt, make sure the conditions. If the slack will be squeaky sound when the accelerator is pressed. Do not forget to also clean the air filters with a compressor wear sprayed from the inside out. Lastly, clean the injector with the injector cleaner.

2012 Ford Focus Next Generation driver airbag 440x312 300x212 Advanced airbags 2012 Ford FocusFord offers exclusive innovations that airbags would be installed on the new model Focus 2012 that began to be marketed early 2011. Air bags that protect and reduce injuries from frontal collisions or from the side. Like what the hell!

Ford-developed air bags that use the tether system is an attractive curved bottom. So, when airbgas expands, at the bottom attracted by the rope, so that it can reduce the impact of air bags in the chest and rib cage when a collision from the front or side.

In addition, Focus will be Ford’s first car equipped with side airbgas unique. Its uniqueness, yield strength determined from the passenger’s body posture. When a child airbgas pressure when spraying is not great. Conversely, if a large passenger will give tremendous pressure.

Lo, how come like that? In this airbags technology created a hole that can be transferred as an adjustment of the gas from the trigger (inflator), air bags are forwarded to the hole in the outer airbags. Thus, the security system control center based on the position of the passenger seat. If the hole was closed (tall) then the pressure will be high.

These new airbags designed to protect the head and neck with the violence spreading. To open the hole contained in airbags wear using a small pyrotechnic.

“This is the most advanced technology airbags systems that exist in the Ford. Designed to enhance the protection for the front passenger when the collision occurred,” said Sue Cischke, Vice President of Ford Group. Each air bag, call Sue is the result of technological innovation.

KenHiebert EG 300x225 AC Condenser flushes for Accelerating CoolingSections AC condenser on a very important role in cooling the room. Inside condenser Freon cooling process occurs, so that the room will feel cold when the cooling was removed through the blower. But, what would happen if the condenser itself is in a state of heat? Because the “fry” the sun, for example. Surely the process works a little disturbed. At a minimum, it will take longer to cool the room.

Well, assumptions such as what prompted Mario Hartato perform a simple solution when hot due to the cabin car parked in the sun. To cool the cabin, Mario not only opened the window wide open to heat the air temperature inside the cabin get out and change (circulated) by the new air. In order to cool down faster, he also poured water into the air conditioning condenser. “The duration of approximately 1-2 minutes,” said mario. According to him, with the addition of the above, working in a cool room air conditioner could be more perfect.

But, “This condition is only for cars that are very hot sun drying,” he said. Although this way better and can assist the work of cooling, AstraWorld give a small note. We poured water into the condenser in the middle of the engine is running, should still be careful to prevent water flush not affected the other parts. For example, water on the fan is rotating so that the water on electrical wires.

Prudence is only to prevent side effects if the parts exposed to water. Effect of water spray on the performance of AC in the above manner is actually very similar to what happened after AC cleaning. Just look at AC’s house. Each time the air conditioner in-house service, cleaning must be done by pouring water condenser pressure. Sprays will be eroded dust or dirt on the condenser grille. With a clean condenser conditions, automatic performance in the cool room would work better. So, to help the performance of car air conditioner, you can perform a similar manner. For example, when washing a vehicle, you might as well spray pressurized water to the condenser grille. But do not forget. Water spray is what we do when the engine died.
