Proper car care in hot weather: protect your vehicle, travel with peace of mind

Weather changes are one of the factors that directly affect the performance and lifespan of cars.

In order to help customers proactively protect their vehicles, THACO AUTO has compiled important technical notes on vehicle care when the weather changes, ensuring the vehicle always operates stably and durably.

Proper car care helps the car operate smoothly.

Check the tires

Tires are the part that comes into contact with the road surface. When the temperature increases, the tire pressure increases, causing the tire to inflate. Therefore, the driver needs to regularly check the tire condition, especially the tire wear indicator (Tread Wear Indicator) to promptly detect signs of wear. To ensure safety, you should check and maintain tire pressure according to the instructions (listed in the user manual, car door niche, electronic control panel). At the same time, customers need to check the tire tread wear and tire surface, replace it if the tread is less than 2mm or shows signs of cracking, swelling, or uneven wear.

Check tire wear to promptly detect signs of wear.

Change engine oil

In high temperature environments, oil is easily degraded and reduces the ability to lubricate the engine. If the vehicle is often operated under the sun or on long trips, you should change the oil earlier than the standard cycle to protect the engine.

Change oil regularly or earlier than standard cycle to protect engine

Air conditioning system maintenance

Air conditioners that operate continuously during the hot season can easily lead to poor cooling or unpleasant odors if not cleaned regularly. Therefore, customers need to periodically check the condition of the air conditioner, vents, air filters and clean the surface to ensure the best cooling performance.

Air conditioning system maintenance helps maintain your vehicle's cooling system.

Car interior cleaning

Weather changes affect leather interiors, causing leather quality to change. Therefore, customers should check and maintain leather parts regularly, clean the car interior to ensure a airy, comfortable space.

Clean the interior, deodorize and kill bacteria to keep the car fresh

In addition, customers should park their cars in cool places and use sunshades to minimize the impact of sunlight on the interior.

Check the coolant

Hot weather can accelerate the evaporation process, causing coolant to be lost faster even though the engine cooling system is closed-circuit. Customers need to check to replenish the vehicle's coolant in time, ensuring that the coolant is always at a stable level, avoiding the system having to operate at high temperatures.

Check that the coolant is always at the allowable level.

Check battery condition

Driving in hot weather will accelerate the chemical reaction, leading to a reduction in battery life or damage. Therefore, customers should check the battery in the car regularly when there are the following signs: difficulty starting the engine, weak lights or the battery has been used for more than 2 years.

Check battery status regularly for peace of mind when using the vehicle.
