Protecting Vehicle From Heat

Protecting Vehicle From Heat

It's crucial that you have your vehicle ready to withstand the heat when temperatures rise during summer. Preventing heatstroke is the best way for your car to perform as it should. These are five ways to protect your car in hot weather.


Make sure you have a working battery

Your car's battery is not going to be happy with scorching heat. Make sure you have your battery checked before the summer heat hits. The battery fluid evaporates quickly in hot weather, so make sure to keep an eye on your battery terminals and remove any corrosion.


Keep fluids topped off

It's important to inspect your fluids during heat waves as they cool the engine. These fluids include motor oil, brake fluid and transmission fluid. These fluids can make it more difficult for heat to escape from engine components if they are too low.

Have you had your engine coolant changed recently? To determine if the coolant needs to be replaced, consult your owner's guide. If it isn't, ensure that the coolant is at the right level.


Avoid direct sunlight

If you are looking for parking, make sure to look for shaded spots or areas that are underground.

Your windows should be kept down a few inches. Tinted visors can be purchased to deflect light and make your windows less obvious. This is for security reasons.


Use a Sun Shade

A windshield shade is a great idea for those times when you cannot avoid parking in direct sunlight. The cool interior of your car is protected from the sun's damaging effects by windshield shades. You could have a cracked and dry dashboard if your car is left to bake in the sun.


Make sure your vehicle is clean and protected

For protection and to reduce glare, apply a detailing product to your dash. You can keep your car's seats cool by using seat covers. To prevent cracks in leather seats, make sure they are well-maintained during hot weather.

Your vehicle's exterior can be damaged by the sun and heat. A wax job can protect your vehicle from damaging UV rays.


Maintenance of the Belt, Hose, and Tire

On hot days, underinflated tires can cause a problem. In hot weather, hoses and belts are more susceptible to failure. Make sure to inspect them for cracking or other signs of damage.
