Driving at high temperatures:
At higher temperatures, try to deal with your car the same way that you deal with yourself in this hot session especially in the United Arab Emirates or the Gulf area in general where the temperatures became very high and this is very dangerous on your car if you did not take the necessary steps so you have to take some further precautions to stay calm and in control to help avoid confusion all the time.
Equip your car for driving in hot weather:
The service technicians and experts at Ford or Lincoln or Mercury dealerships are some of the best sources for everything you need to equip your car for the summer driving or a long family trip across the desert. Here is what they can do for you:
1) Checking the engine’s cooling liquid: if the cooling liquid level is low or does not provide the sufficient strength due to the passage of time, it may increase the risk of engine’s overheating.
2) Testing the battery: your battery may begin to work harder in the winter but it may work really more at high temperatures. The tests conducted by Ford or Lincoln or Mercury agents can help you to see if your battery has enough energy to work well or not.
3) Changing the oil and filter: this is a necessity and durable for your car and this becomes more important in high temperature conditions in particular. The proper lubrication using the appropriate grade of clean oil beside the new oil’s filter will help the engine to withstand the increasing pressure’s load in this hard condition.
4) Fluids: you should check the fluids of brakes, power steering and windshield wiper as a preventive measure.
5) Checking the air conditioner: if the air control system is not working properly, you and the passengers may feel uncomfortable completely. One of the service technicians will scan for any leaks in the air conditioning system and adds the cooling liquid if necessary.
6) Checking the windshield wipers: the excessive heat and exposure to the sun will reduce their effectiveness. If they are damaged totally, you have to replace them with new ones.
7) Checking the air pressure inside the tires: if the amount of air inside your car’s tires is less than the appropriate amount, this could lead to reduce the rate of distance per gallon and it represents a security risk. If the amount of air is more than the appropriate amount, this could be very dangerous too because it provides an unstable control.
