How to Protect Your Car From Summer Heat?
If you're
in Serbia for the summer, you might not be aware of the massive heat waves that
come and go. Sometimes the temperature might exceed 40C, and you should be aware
of what to do with your car on those days, because the interior of a car can be
15C hotter than the exterior and the environment you're in. Here's a few tips
on what to do:
Find a parking place in
the shade
The first thing you need to do is park in the shade. Not only
will you decrease the car's temperature, you will also protect the car's
interior and tires, since they are sensitive to sun rays and heat.
On the other hand, if you don't have a choice and have to park
your car in the sun, its necessary to put protective foil on it.
If you can, leave windows partially open
This could help your car very much. Of course, you can do this
only in guarded parking spaces and if your sure it won't rain.
Air ventilation is a must
When you're working day is over and when you go home, don't
forget the importance of air ventilation in cars. Some of the things you might
do is wait for the car too cool of a bit
before you start driving, put a big towel on your seat and try not to touch the
exterior of the car too much, except the locks, since they are most likely to
be very very hot.
Avoid long trips during
the day
If you have to drive by day, turn on air conditioning or open the
car windows. Try not to drive anywhere without a bottle of water and
sunglasses. If you're going on a longer trip, keep in mind that making more
shorter breaks instead of less but longer ones is better, and that it's better
to drive in the morning and nighttime due to the hot weather. Keep in mind also
that the temperature doesn't only affect people but cars and asphalt too, so
tires differently act on different surfaces, therefore extra caution while
driving is necessary.
