There are several points to pay special attention to when driving in summer compared to other seasons. The main characteristics of summer are high temperatures and more rain, so pay attention to the impact of these two factors on the car. We should pay more attention to the water temperature when driving, as there are many cars with high water temperatures in summer. And when parking a vehicle, it is also important to pay attention. Making mistakes not only harms the vehicle, but may even cause significant losses. To summarize the following points, novice car owners should pay more attention.

In general, there are two points to consider: first, no hazardous materials should be placed inside the vehicle, and second, the choice of parking location for the vehicle. Due to the extremely high temperature inside the car in summer, flammable and explosive materials should never be placed on the car. Especially on the dashboard, it's best not to put anything, as there was a car that had two bottles of mineral water that caused spontaneous combustion. Lighters, perfume and the like must not be placed on the dashboard, which is very easy to be exposed to the sun. Objects that can focus light, such as reading glasses and magnifiers, cannot be placed on the dashboard. After focusing light, local temperature rises, which may lead to the risk of spontaneous combustion. Secondly, do not put food in the car. Remember to take what you buy with you. If the temperature inside the car is high, it will spoil and emit a strange odor shortly after use.

        The second point is the selection of parking locations for vehicles, and there are many points to pay attention to. It is best to park in a cool place to avoid exposure to sunlight, which is the most ideal. If there is no shady place, you can only park outdoors, preferably with the rear of the car facing the sun. Due to the presence of an instrument panel in the front of the vehicle, there are many electronic components below the dashboard, which can cause severe aging after prolonged exposure to sunlight. On the other hand, there is basically nothing at the rear of the vehicle that is too sensitive to sunlight, only the cover plate under the rear windshield can be exposed to sunlight without any impact.

In addition to avoiding exposure to direct sunlight, the issue of summer rain should also be a concern for all car owners. Every summer, there are cars that are flooded or damaged by trees. If the car needs to be parked for a long time, or for a short period of time but happens to be on rainy days, it is important not to park in low-lying areas with poor drainage to prevent flooding. Also, do not park under trees or near dangerous walls. Do not park in areas that are prone to collapse due to heavy rain, strong winds, and strong winds to avoid vehicles being hit. Especially the newly planted trees on both sides of the newly repaired road have very weak roots and can easily collapse in rainy and windy weather. There are also some cases where large trees are blown down by the wind, or large branches are blown off, which can potentially injure the car. In addition, it is best not to park under trees for a long time on sunny days. In hot weather, some gum may fall off, making it difficult to clean. There may also be bird droppings on the car, which can corrode the paint to a certain extent. So it's okay to temporarily stop for a short period of time, but don't stop under a tree for a long time.
