Attention A car can become a ball of fire in extreme heat! Know this advice of experts, otherwise a big accident can happen

New Delhi: It is extremely hot these days across the country. In this increasing heat, the car starts getting hot like a furnace within a few minutes. As the temperature increases, the pressure on the flammable parts inside the engine, battery, wiring and dashboard increases. Due to which the risk of fire increases manifold. In such a situation, experts say that small carelessness can become the cause of a big accident, but if some important precautions are taken in time, then the car can be easily saved from becoming a ‘ball of fire’.

On this, Tutu Dhawan who is a renowned automobile expert and is famous in Delhi for repair and restoration of cars. The Local 18 team had an exclusive interview with him. He discussed in detail what precautions people should take especially regarding their vehicles during the summer season. Let us know what advice he gave.

Parking is necessary at the right place

Expert Tutu Dhawan said that one should be very careful while parking the car in summer. People often park their cars in the sun. Which is very wrong. The car should not be parked in the sun but should be parked in a basement or a shady place or where there are trees and plants. After parking the car in the shade, open the glass of the car by one inch. Open only one mirror but leave it open for at least an inch. So that when you return to your car, you will not find the car hot.

Let us tell you that due to summer, the temperature often goes up to 45 degrees Celsius across the country and when the car is parked in the sun, the temperature inside it goes up to 60 to 70 degrees. Because everything is synthetic inside the car, due to which as soon as you come inside the car and turn it on in a hurry and start driving, the incidents of fire often increase.

Pay attention while turning on the air conditioner

Expert Tutu Dhawan told that in the old vehicles, the air conditioner and fan were under the control of the driver, but now the new vehicles are coming. The driver has no control over the air conditioner and fan. These are automatic. In such a situation, if you immediately come inside a very hot vehicle, then while turning on the air conditioner, take care of many things like do not reduce its temperature suddenly, but initially leave it on at a mild temperature. An even better way is that when you go inside a hot car and you realize that the car is very hot, then get out and open all four doors. By doing this the heat inside will go out and the temperature inside the car will be maintained.
