Summer in Kuwait presents a major challenge for both cars and drivers due to temperatures exceeding 50°C. Here are important tips to avoid needing a tow truck:
1. Check Tires Regularly
High heat increases air expansion inside the tire, which can lead to blowouts. Ensure the tire pressure matches manufacturer specifications and check tread depth.
2. Monitor Coolant (Radiator)
Ensure the coolant level is always at the required mark and the cooling fan is working efficiently to prevent engine overheating.
3. Avoid Parking in Direct Sunlight
Use shaded parking and cover your windshield with sunshades to protect the car's interior from damage and keep seats cool.
4. Check Engine Oil
Oil loses its viscosity faster in summer. Make sure to change it on schedule using a viscosity suitable for high temperatures.
If your engine overheats suddenly, pull over immediately, turn off the engine, and NEVER open the radiator cap while it's hot! Call Wenshak immediately for a 24/7 Kuwait tow truck to safely transport your car to the nearest garage.
