Tires are prone to explosion when parking cars outdoors in hot weather.

Many studies have shown that when the temperature increases, rubber, plastic and solvents inside the car will evaporate. The most obvious sign of an overheated car is that parts that use lubricating oil such as the air conditioning control knob, brake pedal, seat control device... do not operate smoothly.

Due to the evaporation and drying of the lubricating oil under high temperature, these devices become difficult to use or get stuck.

Next, the rubber door seals will age quickly. Electrical equipment is not much affected, but if high temperatures are maintained for a long time, damage is inevitable. Overheating is the main cause of premature battery death. Temperature causes liquid to evaporate, change the concentration of the solution, the reaction occurs quickly and damages the internal structure of the battery. In particular, air pipes and coolant are easily damaged, tires are easily over-pressured, and the paint on the car's body quickly fades...

Regularly parking your car outdoors in the hot sun can be dangerous for the driver. The air inside the car becomes a "poison room", which is very dangerous, because a series of chemicals from the materials in the car are transformed and evaporated under high temperatures. Tires can easily explode, air pipes and coolant can malfunction, causing danger when the car is on the road.

Ways to minimize the damage when parking outdoors in the sun

To reduce the harmful effects of heat, when leaving the car outdoors for a long time, car users should note the following:

You should apply heat-insulating film to the entire car and always carry a reflective sunshade to protect the car from the sun.

Note: When parking outdoors in the sun, if possible, park facing the sun and use reflective sunshades to cover the rear and front windows of the car.

Press down the window at each door about 1 cm to create ventilation.

You can also install a cooling fan for your car. This is a device mounted on the car window close to the ceiling, powered by batteries or solar energy. Its operation is quite similar to a ventilation fan, helping to circulate air from inside the car to outside.

In particular, do not leave flammable objects inside the car when parked outdoors in the sun for a long time, such as: fire extinguishers, gas lighters, mobile phones, carbonated soft drinks... when exposed to high temperatures, they can easily cause the car to catch fire or explode.

Regularly check tires, measure tire pressure, check engine oil, transmission oil, steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, battery. Along with that, you should wash the car, clean the interior, and clean the car compartment.
