JAKARTA - Indonesia is being hit by the transition season. What's more, in the last few days, the weather was hot during the day with high temperatures.

Please note, the hot weather can also affect the performance of the vehicle. If this is ignored, it will cause damage to overheating that can cause fires.

"The heat attack is feared to disrupt the performance of the vehicle, always pay attention to the condition of the car components so that they can survive in the midst of hot air temperatures to support mobility," said Nur Imansyah Tara, Aftersales Business Division Head Auto2000 in her official statement, Jum'at, May 26.

According to the Auto2000 page, here are the components of the car that must be considered if the weather conditions are experiencing extreme heat:

1. Check Machine Cooling Components

In hot weather, of course the engine temperature will increase. This is what makes the engine's performance drop to excess heat.

Therefore, pay attention to the cooling system in the engine section to work optimally. Make sure there are no leaks, pay attention to the radiator, and check the volume of the cooling fluid.

2. Check the condition of the oil

In addition to increasing the engine's performance to be more optimal, oil is useful for absorbing heat from the engine and releasing it into the oil reservoir.

Therefore, check the condition of the engine oil, especially when the engine temperature rises.

3. Check the condition of the air conditioner

When the weather is hot, of course the temperature in the cabin of the car increases which causes passengers or users of the car to become dehydrated and overheated.

Pastika kondisi AC dalam keadaan baik dengan membersihkan filter cabin supaya circulsi AC tetap bersih.

4. Parking in Teduh

Due to the hot weather that hit Indonesian territory, car users are advised not to park their vehicles in hot places.

Not only can it affect the car's performance, but hot weather can cause the car's body to collapse quickly due to exposure to ultraviolet light.

5. Pay attention to the goods in the car

Avoid storing flammable items in the car when the weather is hot, such as power banks, matches, and similar things that are flammable due to the heat of the sun from outside the car.

6. Pay attention to Car Glass

Although glass can protect car users in avoiding the heat of the sun, passengers can feel hot if the glass performance is reduced.

To avoid this, immediately lock up the windshield regularly.

7. Check Air Pressure on the tires

Pay attention to the air pressure on the car. If the conditions are in hot weather, the asphalt temperature will rise and this can affect the performance of the tires.

As a result, car tires will erupt if they hit a sharp object on the asphalt.

8. Heat Damers' Attention To Machines

Hot dimers are made of aluminum and wool fibre. For the wool fibre material, pay attention to whether this component is not installed properly or weathered because it is old. What's more, when the engine conditions are hot.

To reduce this risk, immediately check it at the workshop for further examination.
