1.Do not put flammable and explosive materials in the car
lighter❌
After being exposed to direct sunlight in summer, the temperature inside the car will be much higher than the outside temperature. Many drivers have a habit of smoking inside the car, and they will inadvertently throw lighters on the dashboard. When the liquid gas contained in the container is exposed to high temperatures, the gas will rapidly expand upon heating, and the plastic shell will also explode, not only injuring personnel inside the vehicle, but also potentially causing a fire, with unimaginable consequences.
Carbonated beverages, etc❌
The case of explosions caused by the placement of soda cans and other carbonated beverages in the car at high temperatures is not new. Do not leave carbonated beverages in the car for a long time in summer.
Batteries, mobile power supplies, etc ❌
When the car is in high temperature in summer, if the battery is left in this environment for a long time, there is a risk of bulging or even explosion. Car enthusiasts should avoid placing items such as phone batteries and mobile power supplies inside the car, on the top of the dashboard where the sun can directly reach, or between the rear seats and the glass windows.
Reading glasses and magnifying glasses ❌
Convex lenses such as reading glasses and magnifying glasses, when exposed to direct sunlight in a car, can gather sunlight and cause local temperature increases, which can easily cause a fire. So after using the glasses, they should be promptly stored and placed in a storage box to avoid direct sunlight.
2.Pay more attention to tire inspection
Long periods of high temperature driving in summer can lead to increased tire pressure. Therefore, it is important to pay more attention to tire pressure detection to avoid a tire blowout. At the same time, it is important to check the wheel tread and tire patterns for significant wear and replace them promptly.
3.Pay attention to the phenomenon of engine boiling
In summer, it is easy to see the engine boiling due to poor heat dissipation or low water level in the water tank. At this time, it is important to pay attention and do not open the lid to check, as the steam pressure in the high-temperature water tank is high. Opening the lid of the water tank can cause serious burns to the skin, and when this situation occurs, the vehicle should be parked in a safe place on the roadside in a timely manner. Wait for the water temperature to decrease before attempting to add water or seeking professional maintenance personnel to handle it.
4.Do not wash the car immediately after exposure to sunlight
In summer, due to the exposure of the sun, the temperature of the car's paint surface is very high. If the car is washed immediately, it can easily cause significant damage to the paint surface and accelerate the aging of the car's paint. So before washing the car, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a cool place for a while.
5.Don't wear slippers while driving
In summer, people like to wear slippers. Although slippers are lightweight and cool, they do not fully engage with people's feet. In case of emergency, when the brake pedal needs to be pressed, it is very easy to have the sole of the foot slipping, not stepping firmly, and not being able to step on the brake pedal, and even the shoes getting stuck on the accelerator or pedal, seriously affecting driving safety and causing accidents.
