What are the precautions for drivers in summer driving?
1 Answers
Here are the relevant precautions for drivers during summer driving: 1. Prevent tire blowouts: High summer temperatures cause tire temperatures to rise, making rubber more prone to softening, and in severe cases, tire burning may occur. When driving at high speeds, encountering hard objects can easily lead to tire blowouts. Therefore, always check tire pressure while driving. If the tires are overheated or the pressure is too high, park the car in a shaded area and wait for natural cooling. 2. Prevent vapor lock: High summer temperatures limit heat dissipation. When driving at slow speeds with high engine RPMs, heat dissipation becomes difficult, leading to vapor lock. If vapor lock occurs, stop the car immediately to cool down and resolve the issue. 3. Prevent water shortage: In hot weather, water in the radiator evaporates quickly. Always monitor the coolant level and the temperature gauge. If a water shortage is detected, stop the car immediately and wait for it to cool down before adding water. Be careful not to open the radiator cap immediately to avoid burns.
