The summer heat hits with a different severity. When the sun blazes and the temperature climbs to 100°F (38°C), driving becomes uncomfortable and unsafe.
At this point, the heat not only affects your health as a driver—it also extends to damaging key interiors, wearing out the battery, and straining the tires.
So, most drivers ask, "How do I keep my car cool?"
To be honest, it's not just about comfort. A cooler car means a longer lifespan for your vehicle and protection for you.
That's why we have provided practical guides and tips to help you enjoy a cooler and safer ride—no more worries about the heat. Let's break it down.
Why Summer Heat Is Tough on Cars
Interior Damage
Heat leads to interior damage, including dashboards, seats, and electronics.
Tire Wear & Blowouts
Most tire wear cases and blowouts can be attributed to exposure to high temperatures. When the heat is severe, the tires swell and might blow out.
Battery Damage
Car batteries strain in extreme heat, which can lead to premature damage.
Paint Fading
Severe heat causes paint to fade, and some other exterior wear occurs.
Practical Tips to Protect Your Car During Summer
Use foldable sunshades and window tints: This keeps the cabin cooler and practically protects the interiors.
Park smart: Parking your car in the shade or covered parking reduces direct exposure to heat.
Regular tire checks: Heat makes tire pressure rise; check it weekly to protect it from wear or blowouts.
Protect your paint—protect your exterior: Wash and wax your car to guard against ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Check your battery: Heat evaporates battery fluid faster. Regular inspection can protect the battery from damage.
Maintain fluid levels: Coolants, oil, and transmission fluid keep the engine from overheating.
