Can Cars Be Exposed to Direct Sunlight?

[SanIker]

Cars should not be exposed to direct sunlight. The following problems may occur when a car is left in the sun for prolonged periods: 1. Engine: In high-temperature environments, the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity decreases due to reduced temperature differentials, making the engine prone to overheating. 2. Lubrication system: High temperatures can cause a series of issues with fuel and related components, accelerating wear and significantly reducing engine lifespan. 3. Voltage issues: Car batteries may experience voltage instability under high heat. Elevated temperatures accelerate electrode oxidation due to insulation layer degradation (particularly noticeable as white oxide buildup on negative terminals), leading to unstable battery voltage.
