SUMMARY:
-Be sure to dry all the damp areas to prevent fungus growth from ruining the inside of your car. Do the same before winter hits so that ice doesn’t form in wet spots.
-To keep it from frying your fingers, turn the wheel 180 degrees before you leave the car.
-Put an insulated drink sleeve over your gear lever, and you’re good. If you don’t have one of those, you can just spray it with some water to cool it down.
-To solve this stinky air problem, tape a dryer sheet onto the air conditioning vents.
-Let the engine warm up for about 30 seconds before you take off even in the summer to give oil enough time to warm up.
-If you're driving slowly, it's better to open the windows instead of turning on the AC. It burns a lot of gas at low speeds because it runs at full capacity while the engine is going at low revs.
-If you hear air hiss through the gas cap when you open it – don't panic. It happens for two reasons. First, as you're driving, fuel gets pumped out of the tank, but no air enters the vacant space. The second reason is the opposite – when your car has been sitting for a while, gas vapors accumulate inside the tank.
-Just put a block of ice on the floorboards under the vent if your AC isn't blowing out cold enough air for your liking.
-Instead of packing a cooler with you, simply use your glove box! There’s a little lid inside and when you turn it around, it opens a cool air outlet.
-Don’t forget your mirrors are made of glass and can easily break if you get in an accident. Play it safe and just close them before you take off.
-The intense heat from the sun can melt just about anything, the battery can catch on fire, and the entire car can go up in flames, so don't leave anything on the dashboard.
-Never park your vehicle under trees in bloom. And that’s because in the summer, many of them produce juice, resin, and sticky fruit and berry grains that can land directly on your car.
-Cover the vehicle with a few coats of polish at the beginning of summer to protect it from insects, those tree juice stains, and asphalt stains.
-Check the overflow reservoir between flushes to make sure there’s enough liquid in the coolant. And never take off the radiator cap while the engine is still hot!
-Keep an emergency kit inside your vehicle. It should have water, some non-perishable foods, a first aid kit, basic tools, road flares, jumper cables, and a flashlight.
-If you're stuck in a traffic jam and it's getting too hot inside your car, use a mini battery-powered fan.

Hey there, BrightSiders! Do you have a driving license?

"Most people arent worried about moisture in their car."


"JUST SPRAY IT WITH WATER!"

[rickadamson]

Yeah turn your wheel 180° every time you park, your ball joints will love that..

[old-timeangler]

I don't know anyone who drives a Bentley.and besides if you could afford to drive a Bentley why worry about running the A/C, besides the 12 cylinder engine will drink enough gas long before the A/ C does.

7:09 Everyone please DO NOT try making your own car wax (polish) it offers no protection and may even damage your paint, just buy any car wax or sealant from your local auto store it's very cheap :)

[garettjax]

But why use a Bentley as an example My brain hurts seeing these strange things done to it.

How to protect your car from the heat

1 buy a dash mat
2 buy window shades
3 tint the windows
4 park if you can in the shade
5 use the air recirculation feature instead of the AC. It will only turn on the AC at lower speeds but will circulate the air from outside into the cabin at high speeds
6 just turn on the blower motor with no AC on the air moving will also help cool you down without turning on the AC

In Phoenix, use your shirt or skirt hem to touch your door handle and open it. Reach in and start your car, open the windows, and turn your a/c on full blast. Come back 10 minutes later when the seat, steering wheel, seatbelt, and shifter are cooled down. Never leave anything that can melt (CDs) or explode (aerosols) in your vehicle. Bottled water will be too hot to drink, but your dash is the right place to keep your take out meal piping hot. And those M&Ms? They'll melt in your hand, in the bag, and on your floor! 😉

Love the 11. - "Don't leave anything on the dashboard if you park". Great video! :)

The funky smell can be solved using Ozium on the cabin air filter. The fact people will recirculate the AC to cool off in the summer. You basically are recirculating the moisture from your body and it leaves bacteria Ozium kills that bacteria and leaves a nice smell. Just use it sparingly. It’s a strong air sanitizer, not air freshener.

[noahcooper]

That gloves box thing isn't true I'm most cars.

[sakuramari]

Wow! Bentleys and Corgis, sounds like royalty. LOL

[yy-vqyh]

Car: I can't get hot!


Sun:I'ma end this cars whole career

[PieZuri]

Haha that's how you felx your car the bright side way 😂😂

[apprenticehealer]

while parking in summer, it is wise to keep 1/2 cm gaps in each window, rather than closing it completely. This reduces the heat inside the car. I have personally been trying this for 7 years now.

A koozie also works on the hot shift lever and comes in handy at summer get-togethers!

Keep your car dry so mold doesn't develop but spray it down with water to cool it off. Great tip 👍
