Car care rules in the summer

Cooling system:

• Checking the level and condition of the coolant: a sufficient level of coolant (antifreeze) is the key to normal engine operation in the summer. Also check its color and consistency, replace if necessary.
• Functionality of the thermostat and fan: a working thermostat opens a large cooling circuit in time, and the fan provides additional ventilation of the radiator. Check their work at the service station.

Tires:

• Checking the pressure: when the air temperature rises, the tire pressure increases. Check it regularly and adjust according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
• Tread wear: In the summer, it is important to have a good grip of the tires on the road surface. Check the tread depth of the tires and replace them if necessary.

Protect yourself and the salon:

• Air conditioning: check the operation of the air conditioning system. Replacing the cabin filter will improve the quality of the supplied air.
• Sun protection film: glass tinting (according to legal regulations) will protect the interior from burning and overheating. Also use a protective visor.

Do not forget about other liquids:

• Brake Fluid: Check the brake fluid level and condition. High temperatures can worsen its characteristics.
• Windscreen washer fluid: Fill the washer reservoir with summer-grade windshield wiper fluid. Winter can thicken in the heat.

Summer is the time to enjoy trips, not to solve problems with the car. Take these tips for summer car care and travel in comfort.
