Hottest day of the week in Dubai.
Some helpful tips, before and while driving:
- Be aware if your car is parked outside exposed to the sun.
- Use sunshades in your windscreens and glass windows if you cannot avoid parking outside.
- Let your car cool down before you enter or touch anything inside.
- Open doors and windows first to let out the heat trapped inside the cabin.
- Expect extremely hot leather seats, steering wheels and gear shift k***s.
- Avoid driving at high RPM or pushing hard the accelerator pedal.
- Make sure the AC air recirculation button is switched on to avoid outside air coming in while driving.
- While driving be mindful of your temperature gauge, if it’s going up, drive slowly or stop somewhere safe. If the temperature is not going down, don’t wait for the overheat warning to appear, better switch off the engine.
- Consult a trusted mechanic about the condition of your car before you go for a long drive.
