Is it okay to park the car outside during heavy rain?
1 Answers
Parking the car outside in the rain can lead to acidic substances in the rainwater eroding the car paint. Additionally, rain exposure can cause moisture damage to the car's electrical circuits and ignition system, resulting in poor ignition, decreased engine performance, and in more severe cases, flooding of the car's undercarriage, making it impossible to start the vehicle. If the car has been exposed to rain, it is recommended to take the following actions: Wash the car promptly: The acidic substances in the rain can affect the car paint, causing it to lose its shine, so it's important to wash the car to remove these substances. Check the brake fluid: Inspect whether the brake fluid has been affected by moisture. If the brake pedal needs to be pressed deeply, there are unusual noises, or the braking distance is extended, the car should be repaired.
