As temperatures begin to climb in the UAE, preparing your car for summer is essential. The extreme heat puts enormous stress on virtually every system in your vehicle, from the engine to the tyres.
AC System Check: Start with your air conditioning. Have the system inspected, check refrigerant levels, and replace the cabin air filter. A well-maintained AC keeps you comfortable and prevents the system from failing during peak summer.
Cooling System: Check your coolant level and condition. The cooling system is your engine's first line of defense against overheating. Have a professional inspect hoses, the radiator, and thermostat for any signs of wear or leaks.
Battery Health: Get your battery tested. As we discussed earlier, heat is extremely hard on batteries. A battery showing signs of weakness should be replaced before summer to avoid being stranded in dangerous heat.
Tyres: Check tyre pressure and condition. Heat causes air to expand, potentially over-inflating tyres. Check pressures when tyres are cool, and inspect for cracks, bulges, or uneven wear that could lead to blowouts on hot roads.
