IWindshield Wiper Linkage iSnap okanye iWasher Fluid Freeze kwiBlizzard okanye isitshizi sodaka: Zero-Visibility Blind Braking Hazard and Suulder-Off.¶

Ngequbuliso, ilahleko epheleleyo yokubonakala kwefestile yangaphambili kwisantya sendlela (100 to 120 km/h / 60 to 75 mph) kwenzeka ngaphantsi kwe-1.5 imizuzwana ngokusebenzisa iintsilelo ezimbini zemihla ngemihla: 1. Windshield Wiper Transmission Linkage Snap okanye Spline Nut Strip, apho inayiloni yebhola ebrittle-socket bushing ngaphakathi kwewiper crank linkage iphumela ngaphandle phantsi kwekhephu elimanzi kakhulu (or the 13-to-15-millimeter wiper arm spindle nut loosens on its tapered knurled cone while the wipers were frozen to the glass), ukushiya isitshixo sombane sintyiloza ngokungenamsebenzi ngelixa enye okanye zombini iincakuba zifile emazantsi efestile yefestile enemvula okanye etyatyekwe likhephu; kunye 2. IWasher Fluid Line Umkhenkce kunye neSalty Slush Smear, apho ihlobo okanye +32 F (0 C) ulwelo lokuhlamba ibug luyaba ngumkhenkce ngaphakathi kwimilomo yokukhangela ivalvu (or evaporates its methanol alcohol on an unheated glass surface), ivumela ilori edlulayo ukukhaba ityuwa yendlela, i-magnesium chloride brine, okanye udaka ukuba lubhake eglasini ukuze iincakuba zosuli zerabha ezomileyo ziqabe i-opaque, uqweqwe olumhlophe oluqinileyo kuwo wonke ummandla wakho wokujonga. Ngenxa yokuba ukumbakraza kweziqhoboshi ngelixa ungaboniyo kuhola wendlela ngunobangela we#1 wokubulalana kweemoto ezininzi ngasemva kweengqumba, ukusinda kwakho kwimizuzwana eyi-10 yokuqala kuxhomekeke ekugcineni indlela enokuxelwa kwangaphambili, usebenzisa ifestile yakho esecaleni kunye nemigca esecaleni yendlela yendlela esekunene.fog line) kwireferensi yeperipheral, kunye nokwenza ukwehla okulawulwayo egxalabeni. Landela le ndlela yokusinda yendlela engu-zero kunye nokulungiswa kwendlela ecaleni kwendlela (bona zonke amanani kaxakeka), kwaye uphonononge izikhokelo zethu ezingamaqabane Uqhagamshelo lwe-windshield wiper eyaphukileyo kwimvula enkulu okanye isaqhwithi, Ifestile yomoya yaphukile, ihood ibhabha, okanye ukusilela kosuli kwisantya sendlela, iimeko ezimhlophe kunye nokuqhuba kweqhwa, kwaye I-windshield inkungu okanye ikhenkcezwe ngaphakathi ngelixa uqhuba.

Yenza oku ngoku¶

1. SUKUQHUBEKA KWIBREKI KWISIGQESHO ESIPHILAYOTHE BLIND REAR-END PILEUP TRAP):
2. Yenza lula unyawo lwakho kwi-accelerator kancinane kwaye urhoxise ulawulo lokuhamba ngenqanawa (Tap Brakes Lightly or Press "Cancel"): Ukuba ilori engaphambilana itshiza i-windshield yakho ngodaka olumdaka opaque okanye udaka olunetyuwa (or your wipers suddenly stop moving in a downpour), umqhubi wemizuzwana emi-2 emva kwakho uqhuba ngesitshizi esifanayo kwaye akaboni kakuhle. Ukuba wothukile unyathele ibhuleki ukusuka kwi-110 km/h (70 mph) ukuya kuthi ga kwi-30 km/h (20 mph) embindini wendlela yokuhamba, isithuthi esisemva kwakho siya kulima etrankini yakho ngesantya esipheleleyo sendlela. Phakamisa isinyosho segesi kakuhle ukuze ukunyanyiswa kwe-injini kucothise imoto ngokuthe chu ngelixa ucofa i-pedal ye-brake kancinci ngokwaneleyo ukukhanyisa izibane ezibomvu zebrake njengesilumkiso kwitrafikhi elandelayo.
3. Betha iindlela zakho ezi-4 zeHazard Flashers (And Keep Low-Beam Headlights ON) KwiSibini soku-1: Ukulayita izibanezi zengozi ngoko nangoko kuxelela abaqhubi abalandelayo ukuba unengxakeko kwaye uyehla isantya.
4. XHLELA PHANSI KWICALA LOMQHUBI WAKHO NGE-10 UKUYA KU-15 CENTITERS (4 TO 6 INCHES) KWAYE USEBENZISE IREFERENCE YELANE-EDGE EZIPHAMBILI (NEVER STICK YOUR WHOLE HEAD OUT INTO 100 KM/H TRAFFIC):
5. Kutheni ifestile yecala isindisa ubomi bakho xa iglasi yangaphambili i-Opaque: Nokuba i-windshield yangaphambili iyi-100 lepesenti etyatyekwe ngoqweqwe lwetyuwa emhlophe, udaka olungqindilili, okanye ukumfamekisa kwamanzi akhukulayo, iglasi ** yecango elisecaleni.parallel to the airflow) ihlala icace noko**.
6. Jonga ezantsi kwaye kancinci eKhohlo/Ekunene ngaphandle kweGap yefestile esecaleni (And Use Your Side Mirrors) ukulandelela uMcu weNdlela ePeyintiweyo (Fog Line) kunye neRumble Strips: Jonga ifestile yomqhubi wakho ovulekileyo (and check your right-hand passenger side mirror) ukugcina amatayara embindini enxusene nezahluli zendlela edawunisiweyo okanye umgca wongqameko wangaphandle oqinileyo (fog line). Ungaze ulikhulule ibhanti lakho lesihlalo okanye ukhuphe intloko yakho ngefestile ukuya kwi-100 km/h (65 mph) umoya, apho igrabile yendlela ebhabhayo, amaqhekeza omkhenkce kwiilori ezidlulayo, okanye isipili sesithuthi esikufuphi sinokukubetha ebusweni nasemehlweni akho.
7. SAYINZA KWANGEKUDLA KWAYE UTSHIBELE NGOKUBHABHALA KWIGXAXA LASEKUDEOR LEFT EMERGENCY BAY IN LEFT-HAND TRAFFIC COUNTRIES LIKE THE UK/AUSTRALIA):
8. Sebenzisa i-Tactile Shoulder Rumble Strips ukuze uqinisekise ukuba uyicimile iNdlela yokuHamba eKhohlwayo: Tshintshela umqondiso wakho wokujika (or keep hazards flashing), khangela isipili sakho esisecaleni nasiphi na isithuthi esikwindlela yasekunene, kwaye uqhube kwi-engile enganzulwanga ukuya kwi-5 ukuya kwi-10-degree kumgca wongqameko oqinileyo kwigxalaba eligangathiweyo (feel the vibration of the milled rumble strips under your tires).
9. Tsalela kude kuMda wePavement njengoKhuselekileyo (Without Dropping Into a Soft Mud Ditch or Deep Snowbank) & Jika amavili akho angaphambili asuke kwiTrafikhi: Kanye wema egxalabeni (or better yet, at the next exit ramp or rest area), tshintshela ku-Paka* (engage parking brake), gcina izibane ezinobungozi zidanyaza (turn OFF the dome light at night), kwaye ** hlala ubotshwe ngaphakathi emotweni (or exit from the passenger-side door away from traffic to stand behind a steel guardrail)** de kube ukubonakala okanye ukugcwala kuphele phambi kokuba kuvele ihood.
10. UKUBA ii-WIPERS ZAKHO zisandula ukuthambisa i-Opaque yeTyuwa yeTyuwa ngapha kweGlass (Washer Fluid Frozen):
11. YIMA Ukucofa iSikhondo soWiper esomileyo (Every Dry Wipe Bakes the Salt Film Harder):] Ngokukhawuleza tshintshela ulawulo lwemozulu ku MAX FRONT DEFROST (High Heat + A/C Button ON + Fresh Outside Air Intake) kwaye ujike phantsi zombini ** iivisor zelanga** (which traps a pocket of hot air directly against the glass). Kwimizuzwana engama-45 ukuya kwengama-90, iglasi yangaphakathi ishushu ngaphezu0 ngokukaCelsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), inyibilikisa i-micro-layer yomkhenkce ebophelela ityuwa yendlela kwiglasi kwaye isoloko inyibilika imilomo yewasha enomkhenkce emazantsi enkomazi.

Indlela yokusilela 1: I-Wiper Arm Spindle Nut ehlutshiweyo okanye1-Minute Fix or Passenger-to-Driver Arm Swap)¶

• **Enzeka Njaniknurled / splined) Ipali yentsimbi encamathele phezulu kwinkomo, ibanjwe phantsi ngesinye 13 mm, 14 mm, okanye 15 mm hex nut ifihlwe phantsi komnqwazi weplastiki ongqukuva kwihenjisi yengalo yokosula. Xa ulayita iiwiper ngelixa iiblade zerabha zinomkhenkce ukuya kwiwindshield enomkhenkce (or buried under 15 cm of heavy wet snow), intsimbi yokusonta ijikelezisa ngaphakathi kwisokethi ethambileyo ye-aluminiyam ye-die-cast yengalo yosula, ikhulula i-nut kunye nokucheba i-splines ye-microscopic.
• Ufunyaniswa njani: Ngokulayita CIMILE, ngobunono zama ukushukumisa ingalo yosuli efileyo kwiglasi ngesandla sakho. Ukuba ingalo efileyo ijiwuzisa ngokukhululekileyo kwiglasi ngokuxhathisa iqanda (without moving the other wiper arm), vula ikepusi yeplastiki engqukuva encinci emazantsi engalo kwaye uvule iiwiper ngokufutshane imizuzwana emi-2: **uyakubona intsimbi esembindini enemisonto ijikeleza ngapha nangapha ngelixa ingalo yosuli ihleli **.
• Ulungiso A ecaleni kwendlela (Tighten or Shim the Nut):
• Cima ilayiti***.
• Beka i-wiper blade kwi-engile yayo yesiqhelo yokuphumla ezantsi kweglasi.
• Cinezela isiseko se-aluminiyam yengalo yosuli kalukhuni ezantsi kwipali yekhowuni enetape kwaye uqinise 13 mm / 14 mm / 15 mm nati ngokuqinileyo usebenzisa isikrufu sosokethi, isikrufu esihlengahlengiswayo, okanye izixhobo ezininzi (even a 1/2 turn pulls the tapered cone tight enough to bite into the metal again).
• Ukuba i-aluminiyam yangaphakathi splines zihlulwe ngokupheleleyo agudileyo: Beka **isikwere esincinci esongwayo sefoyile yealuminiyam (from a gum wrapper or food wrapper)
• Ulungiso B ecaleni kwendlela (The Lifesaving "Passenger-to-Driver Wiper Arm Swap"):
• Ukuba i sokethi yengalo yengalo yomqhubi-icala lomqhubi iqhekeziwe okanye ihlutshiwe ** (or the driver-side wiper blade rubber tore off) ngelixa i-icala lomgibeli wesula lisasebenza, khumbula ukuba ufuna kuphela isiqingatha somqhubi wefestile yefestile ukuze uqhube ngokukhuselekileyo ugoduka:
• Khupha umnqwazi weplastiki kwiingalo zombini zosuli, khulula zombini iindongomane eziyi-14 mm, jika ingagungqi ingalo yomesuli yecala lomgibeli (or its rubber blade refill) isuse kwipali yayo, kwaye uyiqhoboshele kwi-icala lokusonta kwicala lomqhubi (Check that the slightly curved passenger arm clears the A-pillar when sweeping).

Imowudi yesi-2 yokungaphumeleli: Iphothiwe okanye iPopped-Off iNylon Wiper Linkage Ball-Socket (Zip-Tie or Paracord Pull-String Rescue)¶

• **Njani Eyenzekathe wiper transmission linkage) idityaniswe ngu cofa-faka ibhola enayiloni yeplastiki yebhola kunye ne-socket cups. Emva kweminyaka emi-5 ukuya kweli-10 yobushushu kunye nomjikelo obandayo, ikomityi yenayiloni iyajika ibe brittle kwaye ithi gqi kwibhola yentsimbi phantsi komthwalo wekhephu.
• Ulungiso A ecaleni kwendlela (Crossed Zip-Ties / Bailing Wire on the Ball Socket):
• Ukuba umdibaniso webhola uyafikeleleka kwi-cowl screen (or by popping 4 plastic clips off the cowl trim), tyhala ikomityi yenayiloni emva kwibhola yentsimbi kunye ne-cinch izibophelelo ezimbini zenayiloni ezinzima (or steel bailing wire / coat-hanger wire) kumzobo oqinileyo-8 ("X") ipateni ujikeleze ngasemva kwengalo yekhonkco kunye nentamo yebhola ukuze ingaphumi kwakhona.
• Ulungiso B ecaleni kwendlela (The Manual "Double-Shoelace / Paracord Pull-String" Wiper):
• Ukuba intonga yonxibelelano iye yangena nzulu ngaphakathi kwinkomo kwaye uxinzelelwe yimvula okanye ikhephu:
  1. Bopha i 2-imitha (6-foot) ubude beparacord, imitya yezihlangu ezimbini ezibotshelelwe kunye, okanye inja ebotshwe iqhina ngokukhuselekileyo** embindini wengalo yomesuli yecala lomqhubi**.
  2. Baleka enye incam yentambo ** phakathi komphezulu weesentimitha ezi-3 umsantsa wefestile yecala lomqhubi** (so pulling it swings the wiper blade UP across your line of sight).
  3. Bopha intambo yesibini kwingalo yosuli, yijikelezise kwi-icala lomgibeli wesipili isibiyeli* (or in through the passenger window), kwaye uvumele umkhweli wakho wangaphambili atsale imitya emibini emva naphambili njengeentambo zokucoca iglasi.

Indlela yokusilela 3: IFuse yeMoto evuthelweyo yeWiper (20A / 25A / 30A) okanye i-Thermal Overload Breaker¶

• **Enzeka Njani
• Ezinye izithuthi zine-*internal self-resetting bimetallic thermal circuit breaker ** ngaphakathi kwi-wiper motor housing: xa uvula ii-wipers ** OFF **, susa yonke ikhephu epakishweyo kunye nomkhenkce kwi-cowl trough, kwaye ulinde **3 ukuya kwimizuzu emi-5 ** ukuba i-motor iphole, ii-wipers ziqala ukusebenza ngokuzenzekelayo kwakhona.
• Uninzi lwezithuthi zivuthela 20-amp, 25-amp, okanye 30-amp WIPER / FR WIPER fuse kwibhokisi yefuse engaphantsi kwe-hood okanye ngaphantsi kwedash.
• Ukulungiswa kwendlela (The Non-Critical Fuse Swap):
• Okokuqala, ** cima yonke intwana yekhephu kunye nomkhenkce kwiincakuba zosula kunye nenkomo ** (if you put a new fuse in while the blades are still frozen to the glass, the new fuse will blow in 0.5 seconds).
• Vula iBhokisi yeFuse: Vula umzobo webhokisi yefuse (printed inside the plastic fuse box lid), tsala umoya WIPER ifyuzi usebenzisa ikliphu emhlophe yokutsala ifyuzi yeplastiki, kwaye uyibuyisele endaweni yayo nge fuse esecaleni (or borrow an **identical-amperage fuse** from a non-safety circuit such as **HEATED SEATS, CIGAR LIGHTER / POWER OUTLET, SUNROOF, AMP / RADIO, or REAR WIPER** - NEVER put a 30A fuse into a 15A or 20A slot).

Icandelo 2: Ulwelo lweWasha engumkhenkce, imilomo yeHood eValekileyo, kunye neNdlela yeNdlela eneTyuwa eSlush Smear¶

Kutheni iwindshield ijika 100 ekhulwini opaque mhlophe kwimizuzwana emi-2 kuhola wendlela wasebusika naxa iyekile ikhephu? - Amasebe ohola wendlela atshiza i-sodium chloride (rock salt), icalcium chloride, kunye ne-liquid magnesium chloride brine kwiindlela zasebusika. - Njengoko amavili eenqwelo-mafutha etshisa loo manzi anetyuwa emoyeni, inkungu igquma ifestile yakho yomoya. - Ukuba unesifudumezi sekhabhinethi yakho eqhumisa umoya oshushu kwiglasi OKANYE ukuba ucofa izisuli zakho ezomileyo kanye ngaphandle kolwelo lwewasha, amanzi eludaka ajika abe ngumphunga ngoko nangoko, eshiya ngasemva micro-crystalline umaleko wetyuwa ebhakiweyo emhlophe kunye negrime yendlela yedizili. Yonke ipasi elandelayo yencakuba yerabha yokosula ipholisha ityuwa emhlophe incama kwiscreen esinesikhenkce esingenakungeneka.

Kutheni "Ixesha Lonke / I-Bug-Wash" Ulwelo luqina luqina (And Why Cheap Winter Fluid Freezes ON the Glass)¶

Izilungiso ezi-4 ezisecaleni kwendlela xa ulwelo lweWasha yakho yala ukutshiza kwiqhwithi¶

1. Ungakhe ubambe iSikhondo seWasha Phantsi Ngaphezulu kweSekondi ezi-2 ukuba siMkhenkce: Ukuba usiva isandi esincwinayo esinguziro xa utsala isikhondo sewasha, impompo encinci yesishukumisi sombane emazantsi edama leplastiki igqunywe ngumkhenkce. Ukubamba i-lever phantsi imizuzwana eyi-10 kuya kubetha i-10A/15A WASHER fuse* okanye unyibilikise amajiko empompo.
2. Thaba imilomo yeHood kwaye ujonge iHose yeRubha ePopped phantsi kweHood:
3. Ukuba UYEva impompo yewasha incwina, jonga phantsi kwemoto (or open the hood): Xa amanzi engumkhenkce ngaphakathi kwejethi yobhedu/yeplastiki yombhobho omncinci kwihood, uxinzelelo lwempompo rhoqo lukhupha umbhobho werabha emnyama kanye kanye kwisidibanisi seplastiki esinenkcenkceshe ngaphantsi kwendawo yokugquma ihood (you will see blue fluid squirting onto the engine cover instead of the glass). Tyhala umbhobho werabha ubuyele umva kwi-T-fitting ehlabayo (and secure with a tiny zip-tie).
4. Ukuba umbhobho uncanyathiselwe, cinezela ubhontsi wakho ongenanto oshushu phezu kwejethi yombhobho ngamnye kangangemizuzwana engama-30 (or dab 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol / alcohol-based hand sanitizer onto the nozzle opening) kwaye ucoce ngobunono naliphi na ikristale yetyuwa kwibhola yeliso yentsimbi encinci usebenzisa iphini yokhuseleko, inaliti yokuthunga, okanye i-paperclip ebhityileyo.
5. Gcoba i-Reservoir nge-70% ukuya kwi-91% ye-Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol (Or Denatured Alcohol / Vodka in a Pinch):
6. Ukuba isisele sakho sinolwelo lwasehlotyeni okanye ulwelo oluluhlaza olubuthathaka olutyibilikayo, galela **250 ukuya kuma-500 mL (1 to 2 cups) ye-70% okanye i-91% ye-Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol ** (available at any pharmacy or gas station convenience store) ngqo kwi washer fluid reservoir filler neck. I-Isopropyl alcohol ineqondo lomkhenkce elingu -89 degrees celcius (-128 degrees Fahrenheit), ixutywa ngoko nangoko namanzi, ayisayi kuwonakalisa iincakuba zosuli zerabha okanye ipeyinti yemoto (unlike acetone or brake fluid), kwaye ngokukhawuleza ucinezele indawo yokukhenkceza yomxube.
7. I "Snowball + Hand Sanitizer" Ukuvasa iGlasi yeManuwali (To Get to the Next Exit):
8. Xa indawo yokugcina amanzi ingumkhenkce eqinile egxalabeni kwaye i-windshield ifakwe ityuwa emhlophe opaque:
9. Uqhushumbo ** MAX FRONT DEFROST** ungene ngaphakathi kweglasi kangangemizuzu emi-3 de iglasi ivakale ishushu xa uyibamba.
10. I-Squirt isicoci sesandla solwelo esekwe kutywala (60-70% ethyl alcohol), ukuhlikihla utywala, okanye amanzi okusela asebhotileni kwiglasi eshushu engaphandle, khuhla uqweqwe lwetyuwa usebenzisa isandla esigcwele esicocekileyo ekhephu ecaleni kwendlela (never gravel-filled gray road slush) okanye ilaphu lemicrofiber, kwaye ulikhame licoceke ngencakuba yosula ngesandla.

Icandelo 3: Unyango lwe-Emergency Hydrophobic Windshield (Driving Without Working Wipers at 55+ km/h / 35+ mph)¶

Ukuba i-wiper motor yakho okanye ikhonkco lifile ngokupheleleyo kwaye kufuneka uqhwalele iikhilomitha ezili-15 (10 miles) kwimvula enkulu okanye kwikhephu elimanzi ukufikelela kwivenkile yokulungisa okanye indawo yokuhlala ekhuselekileyo, usebenzisa i- hydrophobic (water-repelling) ifilimu kwifestile yefestile ecocekileyo, neyomileyo yangaphandle yonyusa i-engile yoqhagamshelwano lwamanzi ngaphezu kwe-90 ukuya kwi-110 degrees*. Ngaphezulu 55 ukuya kuma-65 km/h (35 to 40 mph), umoya ovuthuzayo utyhala amathontsi emvula abe ngamaso amancinane adubula ngqo phezulu naphezu kophahla ngaphandle kokusulwa nokukodwa kweencakuba:

Iinombolo zengingqi zikaxakeka kunye neeprothokholi ze-arhente¶

Ukuba uvaleleke kuhola wendlela kwisitshi esitshitshane seqhwa, esimhlophe, okanye izantyalantyala zemvula ezinozisula ezaphukileyo kunye nokubonakala kweqanda, hlala ubotshelelwe ngaphakathi kwisithuthi sakho kunye nezibane eziyingozi kwaye uqhagamshelane nohola wendlela:

• I-United States neKhanada: Fowuna 911 ukuba ubambekile okanye usondele kuhola wendlela ephilayo ngexesha logqabhuko-mhlophe okanye iqhwithi. Cofa *HP (*47), #77, okanye 511 (Highway Patrol / DOT Safety Service Patrol, njengeCaltrans FSP, i-FDOT Road Rangers, i-GDOT HERO, okanye i-NYSDOT HELP) ukucela iloli yebhodi yotolo ene-amber strobes.
• EUnited Kingdom: Kwi-*Smart Motorway (no hard shoulder), fikelela kuMmandla oNgxamisekileyo (orange SOS bay) ukuba kuyenzeka; ukuba uvaleleke kufutshane netrafikhi ephilayo, phuma ngasekhohlo (nearside) ucango lomkhweli emva kwesithintelo sentsimbi kwaye ufowunele 999 okanye ** Iindlela zeSizwe (0300 123 5000).
• ** IManyano yaseYurophu:** Tsala kwibala likaxakeka (Standstreifen / Bande d'arret d'urgence), faka ukubonakala okuphezulu kwe-EN ISO 20471 ivest ebonakalisa PHAMBI kokuba uphume kwicala lomkhweli, beka unxantathu wakho wesilumkiso 100 ukuya kwi-150 yeemitha (330 to 500 feet) emva kwesithuthi (from behind the guardrail), kwaye ufowunele 112.
• Ostreliya neNew Zealand: Tsala kwindlela yasekhohlo, gcina izibane eziyingozi, kwaye ufowunele 000 (Australia) okanye 111 (New Zealand), okanye impendulo yemoto karhulumente (13 17 00 kwi VIC, 132 701 kwi-NSW, 13 19 40 kwi-QLD; ndinibone nonke amanani kaxakeka).

Imibuzo edla ngokubuzwa¶

Kwakutheni ukuze iwiper yam yomqhubi-windshield iyeke ukuhamba ngelixa i-passenger-side wiper isasebenza ngokwesiqhelo?¶

Xa enye iwiper yomoya igcina itshayela ngokuqhelekileyo ngelixa enye i-wiper ilele ifile ezantsi kweglasi, i-motor ye-wiper yombane kunye ne-fuse zilungile: ukusilela kumatshini kwenye yeendawo ezimbini. Okokuqala, i-13 mm, i-14 mm, okanye i-15 mm ye-hex nut efihlwe phantsi kwe-flip-cap yeplastiki kwisiseko sengalo efileyo yokucima yakhululeka xa i-blade yayinomkhenkce ukuya kwi-windshield okanye ikhephu elityhalayo, livumela ukuba i-spidle yentsimbi ephothiweyo ijikeleze ngaphakathi kwisokethi yengalo yosula; Cima into yokulayita, yimise incakuba ngendlela eyiyo, tyhala ingalo ezantsi epalini, kwaye uqinise loo nut ngesitshixo (okanye utshintshe ingalo yokucima umkhweli esebenzayo kwipali yomqhubi ukuze ukwazi ukubona ukuqhubela ekhaya). Okwesibini, ukuba ipali yentsimbi ngokwayo ayijikelezi, ikomityi yebhola yenayiloni kunye nesokethi kwi-wiper linkage pushrod phantsi kwenkomo yeplastiki yaphuma isikhonkwane sayo sebhola.

Kutheni le nto kuyingozi kangaka ukuqhwesha kwiziqhoboshi xa ilori engange-semi-lori itshiza i-windshield yam ngodaka okanye ngodaka olunetyuwa?¶

Xa ilori ikhaba amanzi anodaka okanye inkunkuma enetyuwa emfamekisa i-windshield yakho kwi-100 ukuya kwi-120 km/h (60 ukuya ku-75 mph), isithuthi esilandela imizuzwana emi-2 ukuya kwemi-3 emva kwakho siqhubela kwelo lifu lifanayo. Ukuba ubetha iziqhoboshi zakho kwindlela yokuhamba ephilayo, ucima umgama wokumisa phakathi kwakho kunye nesithuthi esihambayo, udala ungquzulwano olukhawulezayo olungasemva okanye imfumba yasebusika. Endaweni yoko, gcina ivili lokuqhuba liqinile, susa unyawo lwakho kakuhle kwi-accelerator ukuze imoto icothe ngokuqikelelwayo, cofa i-pedal ye-brake kancinci ukuze ukhanyise izibane zakho ze-brake, vula izibane zakho eziyingozi ze-4, yehlisa ifestile yecala lomqhubi wakho ngeesentimitha ezili-10 ukuya kwezi-15 (i-intshi ezi-4 ukuya kwezi-6) ukulandelela umgca wecala elipeyintiweyo isipili, kwaye ukhokele imoto kakuhle egxalabeni.

Indawo yam yolwelo lwewasha yayinolwelo oluluhlaza "lweentsholongwane zasehlotyeni" kwaye yaqina ubusuku bonke. Ngaba ndingagalela amanzi ashushu okanye ndigalele utywala ukuze ndinyibilike?¶

Ungaze ugalele amanzi abilayo kwidama leplastiki elinomkhenkce okanye kwi-windshield ebandayo (eqhekeza zombini itanki yeplastiki kunye neglasi elaminethiweyo), kwaye ungaqhubeki ubambe iwasha lever phantsi (etshisa injini yempompo yombane enomkhenkce okanye ivuthele ifuse yewasha ye-15-amp). Endaweni yoko, galela i-250 ukuya ku-500 mL (i-1 ukuya kwiikomityi ezi-2) ze-70% okanye i-91% ye-isopropyl yokuxubha utywala okanye -40 C (-40 F) ye-winter de-icer fluid kwi-reservoir filler entanyeni kwaye ungenzi imoto egaraji okanye injini eqhuba imizuzu eyi-15 ukuya kwe-20. I-Isopropyl alcohol iba ngumkhenkce kwi-89 C (-128 F) kwaye yehlise iqondo lokunyibilika komkhenkce ngaphandle kokonakalisa imibhobho yerabha, iibhleyidi zokucima, okanye ipeyinti yemoto. Wakuba unyibilikisiwe, fafaza isiqingatha setanki enyibilikisiweyo ukuze umxube wotywala wasebusika ogxininisiweyo ugcwalise imibhobho yehood kunye neengcebiso zomlomo.

Kutheni i-windshield yam ijika ibe mhlophe ngokupheleleyo xa ndisebenzisa iiwiper zam kuhola wendlela obandayo obandayo emva kwekhephu?¶

Emva kwesiphango sekhephu, uhola wendlela ukhaba inkungu yetyuwa yendlela (i-sodium chloride) kunye ne-magnesium chloride engamanzi okanye i-calcium chloride anti-icing brine. Xa i-defroster yakho efudumeleyo itshisa iglasi okanye xa uqhuba ii-wiper blades ezomileyo kwifilimu ye-brine ngaphandle kokutshiza i-washer fluid, amanzi aphuphuma ngoko nangoko kwaye ashiye iikristale zetyuwa ezimhlophe ziqatywe kwiglasi. Ungaze ubaleke ii-wipers ezomileyo ngaphezulu kwetyuwa yendlela: jikisa i-defroster yakho yangaphambili ukuya kubushushu obungu-MAX ukufudumeza iglasi ngaphezulu komkhenkce, fafaza ngokugqabhuka okukhulu kwe-40 C (-40 F) ulwelo lwewasha ye-ayisi ngaphambi nangexesha lokusula ngalunye, kwaye ukuba ulwelo lwewasha yakho alunanto okanye lunomkhenkce, rhola kwindawo yokuphuma elandelayo kwaye uhlambe iglasi usebenzisa amanzi asebhotileni okanye ikhephu elicocekileyo elixutywe nerabha ngesandla.
