Make Sure Your Car Doesn't Turn into a Sauna

When parking your car during summer months, drivers are not always lucky to find a place under the shade. This can cause the car to be in the sunlight for long hours, thus producing a suffocating temperature inside the vehicle and making it impossible for the driver to touch the steering wheel or seat belts. Leaving a window slit open to air the cab of the vehicle will cool it down. However, make sure that you leave it open enough so that nobody can open it or put things into the cab. Another way to keep your car cool is to put a sun visor on the windshield. By reflecting sunlight from your car, the car's temperature will drop dramatically.

Optimize the Use of Your Air Conditioning

One of the most logical summer maintenance tips for your car is to rely on its air conditioning services. If the car doesn't seem to cool the way it should, there may be a problem with your air conditioner. Here are some tips to optimize the efficiency of your air conditioner:

• For dry environments with low humidity: Use the "ventilation", this brings air from outside the car and will allow the air conditioning to work more efficiently.
• In high humidity areas: If you live in a very humid place, use the air conditioning and it will help more effectively to keep the car cool.

Check the Coolant Levels

Drivers must know how to check the vehicle's fluid levels; since this task is particularly important during the summer. When the temperature rises, your vehicle's cooling system has to work harder to prevent engine overheating. Normally, the coolant has to be changed once a year. If you don't want to pay a mechanic to do the job and your coolant reservoir is empty, carefully open the lid (but only when the engine is cold). Trying to open the lid while the engine is running can cause some of the coolant to shoot out of the pressurized tank at a very high temperature. Also, for maximum efficiency, use a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and coolant in the tank. Since the coolant change frequency, as well as the recommended mix, can vary, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for more specific details on your particular car.

Check Your Tire Pressure

Tires are the part of the vehicle that is most affected on the highway and elevated temperatures increase the impact suffered by the tires. If your tires are a little flat, there will be more friction between them and the road. Friction generates heat, and if the asphalt is already burning by itself, this combination can be a very bad idea. On the other hand, you should be aware that the air expands with the heat and if your tires are too inflated, they can cause uneven tire wear as well as increased risk of puncture and blowout. Buy a pressure gauge and check your car owner's manual to see what the specific pressure is recommended for your vehicle. This number also usually appears on the inside of the driver's side door.

Avoid Possible Battery Failure

Some problems can only arise during the summer. For example, the battery fluid may evaporate due to extreme temperatures. This can cause a malfunction or general failure in the charging system. Hence the need to be very careful when performing car maintenance tasks involving your battery. With this in mind, if the battery covers are removable, you can check the battery fluid level. Also, ruling out any corrosion on the connecting poles and cables, as well as tightening the connections, can help your battery last longer.
