Do not leave lights, water bottles, or backup chargers in the vehicle
One of the common causes of vehicle fires is leaving easily explosive or flammable items in the cabin. Inh solvents like gas lighters and plastic water bottles can act as sunglasses converging in sunlight, causing interior fires, warned Michael Donovan, a car safety expert at the California Automobile Association.
Periodically checking the power system
Empty, aging electric wires or substandard additional degrees of power are "slow-uses" on the vehicle. Especially in hot weather conditions, high temperatures can cause the shell of the wire to leak, leading to drainage. Regular inspection helps detect abnormalities early for timely handling.
Maintaining the cooling system
The engine works at high temperatures and is easily overloaded if the cooling system is leaked or stuck to the residue. Regularly check the cooling water level, water tanks and fans to ensure the engine operates stably, avoiding excessive heat generation leading to fire.
Parking in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight
When not using the vehicle, prioritize parking in a covered area or using a sunshade for the windshield. This not only protects the interior of the vehicle but also minimizes the risk of sudden heat spikes affecting flammable parts such as leather seats and controls.
Do not smoke or start the engine for too long while the vehicle is stopped
A seemingly harmless but very dangerous thing is to smoke in the car or leave the car on the engine for hours in the sun. This increases the temperature in the engine compartment, increases the risk of fire and consumes unnecessary fuel.
