Tires
The tire will expand when exposed to high temperatures, if the pressure exceeds the allowable level, it can cause the tire to explode. In addition, worn or cracked tires are also prone to damage when traveling long distances.
How to check:
Use a pressure measuring device to check the tires before starting.
Observe the wheel and tire walls to detect cracks or unusual wear.
Tires should be replaced if they have been used for more than 3 - 5 years.
Refrigeration system
The cooling system helps maintain a stable temperature for the engine. When there is a lack of cooling water or a leaked water cage, the engine is prone to overheating, leading to severe damage.
How to check:
Check the cooling water level when the engine is cooling.
Observe the color and smell of the cooling solution, if there are signs of abnormality, replace it.
Make sure there are no leaks in the pipes.
"rule"
The battery operates poorly in hot conditions due to electrolyte solutions blowing away faster than normal. This can make it difficult for the vehicle to start.
How to check:
Observe the ends of the battery, clean if there are signs of oxidation.
If the battery has been used for more than 2 years, the electricity storage capacity at the garage should be checked again.
Monitor the start sound to detect signs of weak electricity.
Engine oil
High temperatures make the oil more susceptible to thinning, reducing the effectiveness of lubrication and thermogenesis. At that time, the engine is prone to heating up or wearing down the inside details.
How to check:
Check the oil level with a stick.
If the oil is dark black, has a burning smell or is too thin, it should be replaced soon.
You should replace the oil periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Air conditioning system
Air conditioners are essential in the summer, but can easily encounter problems such as weak cooling or unpleasant odors if not regularly maintained.
How to check:
turn on the air conditioner to check the temperature and odor.
If the cooling is slow, you should check the amount of cold gas and clean the air.
Regular maintenance of the air conditioning system is 6 - 12 months/time.
Summer is the time when traffic accidents are on the rise due to weather, says Dr David Bennett, senior technical expert at the American Automobile Association (AAA). It is necessary to carefully check important parts before each trip to ensure safety and avoid large repair costs". He also recommends planning a regular maintenance schedule in early summer, especially if the vehicle is preparing for a long journey.
