An engine that runs too hot can damage the vehicle and threaten your safety.
Moreover, a very common issue among cars traveling long distances is the overheating of the engine. Sometimes, it might be due to faulty spares but at other times, simply improving some of your habits might help.
Here are a few tips to prevent your car from overheating:
Check your car’s coolant level regularly:
This is the most common practice that can help you prevent your car from overheating. You should always have a habit of regularly checking your car for coolant levels. Check inside the coolant reservoir or the radiator.
Always make sure that your coolant and water levels are at the proper level.
Moreover, the low coolant level is one of the most common reasons behind the overheating of your vehicle. Make sure you open the radiator car only when your car’s engine is cool.
Leave car windows open slightly:
Always remember to leave your windows open slightly because closed windows trap hot air, and the glass serves as a conductor that helps heat up the enclosed space. If you have a sunroof, open that too.
Make sure the opening is not large enough for someone to reach through.
Also, make sure the weather is good enough and isn’t changing from a sunny to a stormy day.
Keep a check on the temperature gauge:
If you are driving especially on a long drive, you should always keep a check on the temperature gauge of your vehicle. Considering you are on a long trip, you will need to pull long distances in a single go. This doesn’t mean that you will sacrifice your engine’s health.
The simplest way to prevent your car from overheating is to keep a check and not let it go beyond the normal temperature.
Turning off the AC to reduce engine load:
Ac it’s an extra load to the engine, especially if you are on a long ride. If you are on a long trip and feel that your engine is about to overheat and you don’t want to stop anyhow, the best way out is to turn off the AC.
This will help your engine get rid of the extra load.
Also, it will help you sustain at the same operating temperature for long before the engine gets overheated.
Alternatively, you can also switch on the heater after opening the windows so that it can pull the engine’s heat inside the cabin and the engine cools down quickly. This might be uncomfortable but can prevent your car engine from overheating while keeping you moving.
Park your car in the shade:
This is one of the major practices you should make of habit of. You can feel the temperature difference between the shade and the sun – and so can your car. Parking in the shade not only keeps you cool but can prolong the life of your car.
Moreover, if you don’t have a shade or find a shade try using cover or alternative ways.
