Q: How does hot weather affect my car?
A: Actually most vehicle
are designed to handle the heat well.
That being said there are a few items you want to keep an eye out
for.
·
Battery and charging system.
Believe it or not, you actually have a higher chance of losing a charge
in your battery during the summer months than in the winter.
·
Tires. Be sure to check your tire pressure, sun can increase
the pressure in your tire. You do not
want to drive on overinflated tires, as that reduces the surface area making
contact with the road.
·
Fluids. You will want to make sure to check your fluids and
maintain your regular maintenance schedule.
Interior.
Vinyl dashboards and leather seats can take a beating thanks to intense
sun rays. You can combat this by either
tinting you windows or using a sun shade.
