With record-breaking temperatures across the U.S., drivers should take a look at their car’s cooling system, tires, and other parts under stress in hot weather. Checking the coolant level is most important followed by tire pressure and transmission fluid. The air-conditioning compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer and other parts should be checked annually to ensure passenger comfort. Drivers are urged to carry plenty of water and never leave children or pets unattended in the car.
