Excessive heat warning is now in effect
How can you help your car beat the heat? Here are some tips to keep your car — and your passengers — cool and protected.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to helping your car survive a hot summer. Start under the hood.
Check your vehicle's fluid levels, particularly the engine oil and coolant. You'll also want to inspect coolant hoses for wear and tear and look for leaks, which typically develop near hose clamps, the radiator, and the water pump. Other levels to check include brake, transmission, and power-steering fluids.
Taking care of routine maintenance before a trip is an excellent way to avoid becoming one of the travelers this summer who will need to have their broken-down car towed for repairs.
Tires
Driving with properly inflated tires will help reduce the risk of tire blowouts and lengthen their life. Check your vehicle's tire pressure in the morning or when the tires have been sitting for more than three hours, as tire pressure recommendations are based on the tires being "cold." Keep tires inflated to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended level, which is located on the tire information sticker on the driver's doorjamb or in the owner's manual.
Air Conditioner
It's hard for most of us to imagine driving around in the heat without air conditioning. To keep that cold air pumping through a heatwave, service your car's A/C and make sure there is enough refrigerant in the system.
