In driving, there is the term “understeer” and “oversteer”. Maybe you have or have often heard these two words. Just like what the symptoms of a vehicle, perhaps you have not experienced it. Or if ever, perhaps because you do not feel it does not know which one over, which is under.
Well, to understand it, can see the explanation below. Also, how to cope when experiencing.
Understeer
Symptoms tend to car straight, although the steering has been deflected. Commonly known as skid traction because the front is missing. If this was a panic-drivers-especially large potential for harm because the car out of the road.
How to cope :
1. Immediately slowed until traction vehicle back.
2. Do not add spin the wheel, or brakes.
3. Cut down on the accelerator gradually.
4. Reduce the steering wheel rotation.
Oversteer
The opposite of understeer, the rear tires lose grip. Consequently, the stern of the car to shift or twist.
The cause, most commonly we do braking when turning. At that time, the weight moves forward so that makes the rear tires less grip on power. Another factor for turning the steering wheel abruptly.
The danger, the car can be out of control and collided with something from the side. Meanwhile, the sides are not protected as well as front or rear.
How to cope :
1. Do not brake.
2. Do not move the position of the hands on the steering wheel.
3. Make a counter-steering or “reply to” steering wheel with alacrity, but not excessive.
4. Cut down on the accelerator (for rear wheel drive car).
5. Add just enough pressure on the gas pedal (for the front wheels moving car).
6. Move your eyes to the point of going to the intended
7. Be prepared to return the wheel to its original position
One vehicle accident caused by brake free from tension and this has grabbed a lot of casualties. Then how to solve it?
If you are driving and braking suddenly relieved, the first done is do not panic and emotional control.
Then slowly reduce the speed of the vehicle. Then move your foot from the accelerator and then immediately enable the handbrake.
Try to lift the hand brake lever slowly but surely to the optimal.
Do not ever lift the handbrake lever up. Because if you do sudden braking, it could be the rear of the vehicle you are experiencing sudden traction.
If that happens, your vehicle can twist and upside down. Obviously this is very dangerous. Besides, can also use the engine brake or braking through change the gear of the transmission.
Although normally, very difficult to move the transmission from five to one position. But this can be enforced because it is in a state of emergency. Lives are more important than the damage your car engine.
Rain and intense heat usually become the main enemy of rubbers in the car.
Components that include rubber wiper, doors, hood, glass edging, and much more. When it comes to neglected,the potential becomes painfully annoying when driving.
In order elasticity and suppleness awake, spray containing silicone fluid, at least once a month.
Follow these steps to maintain.
• Prepare tools and equipment such as wet and dry cloth, brush, moisturizing liquids containing silicone rubber.
• Clean the surface first and the surrounding rubber.
• Besides the cloth, use a brush to clean the dust that was still attached.
• Spray containing silicone rubber all over evenly.
• Another way is to spray into the sponge. Next apply a liquid rubber component was washed over the target.
• Allow for a moment and make sure the liquid is absorbed into the rubber.
• The rubber components are ready to appear fresher.
Remember, this step is a component of prevention in order to function until the rubber was not damaged. The steps above do not apply for a broken rubber.
