To protect your car and ensure safe driving in the summer, you should avoid the following habits:

Leaving the car in direct sunlight for too long:The temperature inside a car can rise very quickly when parked in the sun, damaging the interior, the dashboard and reducing the life of components such as leather seats and steering wheels. Find a shady parking space or use a sunshade.

Start the car and drive immediately:When a vehicle is exposed to hot sunlight, components such as the engine and air conditioning need time to cool before use. Starting the vehicle and driving immediately can put stress on these systems, reducing the life and performance of the vehicle. Warm up the vehicle for a few minutes before driving.

Turn on the air conditioner immediately when the car is hot:When the car is hot, turning on the air conditioning immediately can put extra strain on the engine and the air conditioning system. Instead, leave the car windows open for a few minutes to let the hot air out before turning on the air conditioning.

Leave windows open when parking for long periods:While opening the windows may help cool the car for a short time, leaving the windows open while parking in the summer can expose the car to dirt and rain. Additionally, opening the windows does not help cool the car effectively in high temperatures.

Driving with over-inflated or under-inflated tires:High temperatures can cause tires to become over-inflated or under-inflated, affecting traction and driving safety. Check and maintain tire pressure according to the manufacturer's recommendations, especially during the summer.

Forget to check the cooling system:The engine cooling system is very important in the summer to avoid overheating. Failure to check and maintain the cooling system, such as the coolant or radiator fan, can lead to engine damage and expensive repairs.

Overloading or improperly storing items:Carrying too much luggage or placing heavy objects on the roof of your vehicle during the summer can put extra stress on your engine, especially in hot weather. This can waste fuel and reduce the performance of your vehicle.Not changing engine oil regularly:Engine oil needs to be changed regularly during the summer to ensure smooth engine operation in high temperature conditions. Skipping oil changes can cause engine damage due to overheating.
