よかれと思ってやっているのに逆効果!? 愛車の寿命を縮めるNGカーケア5選
愛車を大切に扱っているつもりが、実は知らず知らずのうちに車の寿命を縮めてしまっていることがあります。日常的に何気なく行っているケアでも、間違った方法はトラブルの元に。今回は、意外と多い「やりがちなNG行動」を5つピックアップし、その理由と正しい対処法を詳しく解説します。NG行為1:下り坂でNレンジに入れて燃費を節約しようとする下り坂でAT車のシフトをNレンジにするのは、一見燃費が良くなりそうですが、実は逆効果。現代のAT車はDレンジのままアクセルを戻せば、エンジンが燃料噴射を抑えて効率的に走行してくれます。Nレンジにするとエンジンからの駆動力が断たれ、AT内部の潤滑オイルを送るポンプが停止し、内部の損傷リスクが高まるため非常に危険です。たとえ誤操作しても安全機能で保護されていますが、基本的には絶対に避けましょう。NG行為2:タイヤの空気圧を必要以上に高く設定する空気圧は車ごとに適正値が決まっており、燃費や走行性能を保つためにも守るべきポイントです。高めに設定すれば燃費がよくなると思われがちですが、過剰に高くするとタイヤの衝撃吸収力が低下し、足回りの部品にダメージを与えたり、偏摩耗や雨天
