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 stably.

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 stretch. 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 jamb, 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, uneven wear.

Check tire wear to promptly detect signs of wear.

Change engine oil

In high temperature environments, oil is easily degraded and reduces its ability to lubricate the engine. If the vehicle is often operated in 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, air 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 the 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 bacteria to keep the car airy

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

Check coolant

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

Check coolant is always at the allowable level

Check battery status

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 their 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.
