With the sun shining day by day and the heat wave increasing in many parts of India, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult the situation is going to be in the coming months. From keeping the AC on to drinking more fluids and taking multiple baths, we have tried to beat the heat in many ways. While we are bracing ourselves to beat the scorching heat, our cars also need some attention.
High temperature not only affects the human body but also affects the performance of vehicles. Therefore, proper maintenance of the car is necessary in such hot weather. So that it can be ensured that the vehicle does not break down when needed. Here we are telling you some easy and useful tips to ensure that your car is prepared to beat the heat wave
Check that the car’s AC is working properly
Just imagine if you need to drive during the day when the temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius and the car’s AC does not work. How would you feel in such a situation. Therefore, such a situation can be avoided by checking the air conditioning system beforehand. If you notice that the AC is struggling to beat the heat, visit a mechanic immediately to get it repaired. Also, make sure to clean the air filter of the car AC
Just like you do for your home AC. Many times the AC air filter of a car gets filled with dirt. Due to which the cooling gets reduced or there is a malfunction. Therefore, clean it frequently and replace it when needed.
Vehicles also need fluid
Drinking as much fluids as possible is an important thing to keep yourself hydrated during hot summer days. Our cars also depend on many types of fluids. Such as engine oil, brake oil, engine coolant, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid, so that they can function properly.
These fluids ensure that the vehicle’s sensitive parts keep running smoothly. Heat waves can cause fluids in the car to become thinner or even evaporate from the heat. Make sure they are all at their level as per the requirement.
check engine temperature
A car engine is like the heart of the human body. It generates power by burning fuel to propel the vehicle forward. A bad engine can cause the vehicle to completely break down. The engine temperature increases during hot summer days. Therefore, fluids are important because the engine coolant works together with the entire system including the thermostat, hoses, radiator and water pump to ensure that the engine temperature does not exceed limits.
If you feel any disturbance and the engine temperature is rising. So get it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible and get it repaired.
