Is It Safe to Leave a Blanket in the Car During Summer?
1 Answers
Yes, it is safe as blankets are not flammable items. Items that should not be left in the car during summer: During the hot summer months, temperatures can get extremely high. If flammable items are left in the car, it can lead to spontaneous combustion. These flammable items include alcohol, disposable lighters, matches, firecrackers, etc. If you must carry these items, it is safer to keep them in a bag rather than in the trunk, as the trunk is not air-conditioned and is a confined space, making it prone to explosions. Car care tips: Some car owners fail to turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine. This seemingly harmless habit can severely damage the battery. When the vehicle starts, the air conditioning system automatically activates and begins operating, causing a significant instantaneous power load on the vehicle. Over time, this can harm the car battery. Continuing to use electrical devices after turning off the engine—such as prolonged use of in-car electronics or forgetting to turn off the headlights—means the car's alternator is not working. The battery then depletes without being recharged, which can reduce its capacity and potentially prevent the car from starting. Additionally, excessive discharge can cause significant damage to the battery itself.
