The summer time is one of the many problems for the cars’ owners because it has difficult conditions that make most cars fight to beat them. Because of the importance of these tips provided by the American Association which is a non-profit organization and includes a number of cars’ unions and clubs in various countries around the world, we make sure to introduce these tips for you where the summer time and skyrocketing levels of temperature are very dangerous for cars in addition that the high temperatures is the hallmark of the atmosphere in Gulf states and some Arab countries.
1) Battery and heat:
Most drivers believe that the problems of batteries appear in the cold seasons only but the effect of high temperatures is higher than the impact of cold weather on the battery where the high heat and instability of the battery cause the greatest threat to the batteries and we can’t solve the high temperature but at least we have to make sure that the battery is installed very tight and ensure that it will not vibrates while driving , and also ensure the stability of the positive and negative parts. Also, we have to monitorthe fluidof the normal batteries and ensure that the fluidin the specified level where the high temperature leads to speed evaporation of the battery fluid which may lead to the damage caused by the erosion of some internal parts that rely on those fluids.
2) Engine temperature:
In the summer, the engine works harder and the task of the cooling system is protecting the engine from the risk of exposure to overheating so with the high temperatures, the cooling system works harder too.You have to maintain your engine very well in the summer by checking on everything in the car all the time such as engine’s fluid, engine’s oil, cooling system’s fluid and all the other things. The normal life time of the cooling system in the modern cars is five years.
3) Tires’ pressure and high temperature:
If you did not fill the tires of your car with the right amount of air, this will affect the brakes and the perfect control of the car plus that the high temperatures could explode the tires.The American Associationrecommends filling the tires with the right amount of air without any increase or decrease to be identical to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
4) Monitoring oils and fluids:
Oils and liquids play an important role to ensure a smootherdriving on the road and most of these fluids are not limited to this task only but they play an important role in preventing the overheating of the engine or other parts in the car, and in the case of any low level of these fluids beyondthe specified level, this will decrease the performance of the car. Therefore, drivers must take care of all the vehicle fluids such as engine oil, transmission system oil, brake oil and steering wheel oil in addition to the cooling system fluid.
5) Protection of the driver and passengers:
The American Association believes strongly that the driver comfort is the most important thing to ensure the safety of passengers and also the car. The American Association believes that an air conditioner with a healthy condition in the car will protect the driver from fatigue that may make driving in hot weather a daunting task for him so make sure to check your air conditioner regularly.
