7 things to keep in mind when driving a car in hot weather

Hot weather is also an “enemy” for the cars you are using. Here are some tips to help you protect your car better in the summer.

1. Avoid parking in the sun

When you park your car in the sun for a long time and continuously, it will greatly affect the paint of the car. Not only that, the sunlight also increases the temperature in the car, affecting and reducing the durability of plastic and leather parts, causing them to deteriorate quickly, and at the same time, secreting unpleasant odors containing Benzel.

Therefore, if you often have to park your car under the sun, you should choose a place with shade, shade or a house with a roof. If not, you can use a specialized cloth to cover the car or sun-proof covers available on the market to protect the car, especially the interior compartment.

Or you can apply heat-resistant film to help block most of the ultraviolet rays from sunlight and reduce a significant amount of radiant heat through the car windows.

In the summer, you should park your car in a shady place as soon as possible. 2. Maintain your air conditioner before summer.

2. Air conditioner maintenance before summer

If you do not want to suffer from the heat caused by a broken air conditioner, check and maintain this system before the summer comes. Because after a long time of use, the air conditioning system is easily affected by poor cooling due to dirt, gas leaks, etc. Therefore, before the summer comes, take your car to the garage for maintenance and re-check to ensure everything is working properly.

3. Do not get into the car immediately after opening the door.

When you park your car in the sun for a long time, the temperature inside the car will increase. Therefore, if you get into the car right away, you will easily get heat shock, causing dizziness and affecting your health. Therefore, after unlocking the car, take the time to open the door and roll down the window to let the hot air out before getting in the car.

Using air conditioning properly not only saves fuel but also helps increase durability...

4. Adjust the temperature appropriately

When you first get into the car from the hot sun, you should gradually reduce the temperature and operate it slowly, not setting the temperature to the lowest or operating the fan at the highest level. This will cause the cooling system to overload, consume fuel and quickly break down.

In addition, the difference in temperature inside the car and outside will also affect health, making you susceptible to colds and affecting the respiratory tract.

5. Ensure stable tire pressure

When you park your car in hot weather, the tire pressure will change and increase. At the same time, tires are made of rubber, so parking your car in hot weather continuously will also affect the durability, causing the tire to oxidize quickly... Therefore, you should regularly check the pressure and wear to help increase the durability and safety of the tire on each trip.

Batteries should be checked regularly during hot weather.

6. Check the battery

On hot days, the solution in the battery easily evaporates. Therefore, you must regularly check the battery to add solution in time to avoid unnecessary damage. In addition, keep the battery cap clean because dirt can become a conductor that drains the solution in the battery.

7. Pay attention to the coolant

Besides the battery, the coolant is also a factor you should pay attention to and check regularly in the summer. Because if the coolant is too low, it will greatly affect the vehicle engine and cause damage.
