The heat and the humidity can take a toll on your vehicle. That is why CAA South Central On- tario (www.caasco.com) is reminding drivers not to forget to prep your ve- hicle for the hot summer months. Five tips to help keep your vehicle running smoothly this summer: In addition to the cold winter tem- peratures, heat and vibration are also a battery's worst enemies leading to breakdown and eventual failure. If a car's battery is fi ve years old, have it tested by a trained technician to deter- mine how much longer it will last. CAA SCO offers battery service. To request a free diagnostic test, call 1-800-222-4357 or visit CAA Bat- tery Service (www.caasco.com/Auto/ Auto-Maintenance/Battery-Service. aspx?refd=batteryservice). The test can also be conducted at any CAA Car Care Centre or AARS facility . Your vehicle's cooling system pro- tects the engine from overheating. Without proper maintenance, the odds of long-term engine damage and over- heating increase. Driving with improperly infl ated tires affects the handling and braking of a vehicle, it can also cause tires to overheat and increase the chance of a blowout. Tire pressure should be checked when the car has not been driven recently and should be infl ated to the manufacturer's recommenda- tions. Engine fl uids are essential to keep- ing a vehicle running smoothly. Driv- ers should check all vehicle fl uids to ensure they are fi lled to the appropri- ate levels. During the summer months, prop- erly working air conditioning is more than just a convenience. If your car's air conditioning is not maintaining the interior temperature as well as it once did, it may mean the refrigerant level is low. Have the a/c system checked by a certifi ed technician. In case you fi nd yourself stranded on the side of the road this summer, be prepared with a well-stocked emer- gency kit, including water, non-perish- able food items, booster cables, a fully charged phone, fl ashlight and extra batteries and a fi rst aid kit. -- CAA South Central Ontario Five ways to help your car survive the summer heat
