Summer in Pakistan brings scorching temperatures, long road trips, and dusty adventures. The added stress can take a toll on your car if it’s not prepared. Don’t let roadside breakdowns or discomfort ruin your summer fun! Here’s how to get your vehicle ready to beat the heat.
1. Tire Pressure Check: Safety and Efficiency Matter
Heat causes air inside your tires to expand. Overinflated tires can become a blowout risk, while underinflated ones hurt handling and fuel economy. What to do:
- Know Your Number: Find the correct tire pressure on a sticker inside the driver’s door jamb, NOT the maximum pressure listed on the tire sidewall.
- Check Cold: Measure pressure when tires have been sitting for a few hours.
- Invest in a Gauge: Keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove box for regular checks.
2. AC Check-Up: Keep Your Cool
Nothing’s worse than AC blowing hot air on a 40-degree Celsius day. Signs your AC might need attention:
- Weak Airflow: Even on the highest fan setting, the air barely comes out.
- Strange Noises: Hissing, squealing, or clicking sounds can indicate a problem.
- Unpleasant Odors: A musty smell could mean mold buildup in the system.
If you notice anything off, get your AC professionally inspected. Catching issues early saves on costly repairs down the road.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
3. Roadside Emergency Kit: Be Prepared in Pakistan
Breakdowns happen even with well-maintained cars. Here’s your Pakistani roadside kit checklist:
- Jumper Cables: For when a helping hand and a dead battery meet.
- Tow Rope/Strap: In case you need to be towed to a mechanic.
- Flashlight: With extra batteries, for safety when stopped at night.
- First Aid Kit: Basic supplies for minor cuts and scrapes.
- Bottled Water: Staying hydrated in the heat is vital.
- Snacks: Non-perishable snacks for unexpected delays
- Phone Charger: To keep communication lines open.
- Reflective Triangle/Flares: To warn oncoming traffic in a breakdown.
4. Detailing Benefits: More Than Just Looks
The Pakistani sun’s harsh UV rays can fade paint, crack dashboards, and degrade plastics. A professional detailing does more than make your car shine:
- Paint Protection: Wax or sealant adds a layer of protection against UV damage.
- Interior Preservation: Special products clean and condition surfaces, protecting against cracking and fading.
- Hidden Dirt Removal: Detailers clean areas you might miss, preventing mold and odors.
