Driving in hot weather can be challenging. Whether you are going on an
extended vacation or just for a day drive, here are a few simple suggestions from
Senate that can help prepare you and your car for hot weather driving.
Prepare your vehicle for hot weather driving:
- To prevent your vehicle from overheating, make sure your radiator is working properly
and is filled with fluid - check fluid levels frequently.
- Ensure that your tires are properly inflated.
- Don't forget your passengers - make sure your air conditioner is in good working
order before you set out.
- If you are traveling a long distance, plan your trip for early in the morning or
late in the evening. The weather is a bit cooler and will make it easier on your
car's engine.
- Never leave children or pets unattended for any length of time in a car. A closed
car can heat up to well over one hundred degrees in a very short period.
- As always, it's important to always wear your seat belt, drive the speed limit,
and be alert.
