What are the effects of sun exposure on cars?

[Elsa]

Cars experiencing difficulty starting after prolonged sun exposure is caused by a malfunction in the carbon canister solenoid valve. Prolonged exposure can also easily lead to spontaneous combustion. With the arrival of high summer temperatures, drivers are advised not to leave items such as lighters, perfumes, electronic devices, or reading glasses in their cars. These items can ignite nearby flammable materials or combust/explode when exposed to high temperatures. Placing items like perfumes, air fresheners, or canned products in the car is risky. Perfumes, cans, and air fresheners are highly flammable and explosive, with a significant probability of detonation. Lighters should never be left in the car during summer, as the likelihood of them exploding is very high. If an explosion occurs, the resulting flames can quickly ignite the aforementioned flammable and explosive materials, potentially leading to car fires or even spontaneous combustion. Prolonged sun exposure also affects the car's gloss, accelerates tire aging, and increases the generation of harmful substances inside the vehicle.
