• Accelerated aging of seals and rubber parts.

How to protect your car from the heat?

• Parking in the shade : Use covered parking lots or shaded areas to reduce body and interior heating.
• Sunscreens : Install sunshades on the windshield and side windows to protect the interior from ultraviolet rays.
• Interior ventilation : Leave the windows slightly open for air circulation, if safe to do so.
• Body protection : Apply a wax or ceramic coating to protect the paint from fading.
• Checking technical fluids : Regularly monitor the oil and coolant levels to avoid engine overheating.
• Tire Care : Check tire pressure as heat can increase it.
