Here are RoadSafetyUAE's tips:
-Watch out for debris on the roads, especially tyre debris
-Make sure that you have water with you on longer drives ... stay hydrated!
-Consider proper sun glasses to maintain proper vision in glaring light
-Never ever leave your children or pets unattended in parked vehicles
-Be careful with certain items like sprays, inflammable liquids, cigarette lighters, electronics, mobile phones and other delicate items as they might react badly to hot temperatures
-Regularly walk around your vehicle for a quick visual inspection
-Maintain your vehicle regularly, ideally at certified service centres.
-Pay special attention to your tyres and check for cracks, damage and proper inflation.
-Make sure your air conditioning system works perfectly
-Check for proper levels of coolant, oil, washer fluid and other liquids
-Park your vehicle in shaded areas to avoid wear and tear from heat and direct sunlight
-Protect the interior, especially dash-board and steering wheel
-Consider opening your windows just a tiny bit when parking in hot conditions, as a bit of ventilation can lower the temperatures in your vehicle
-Watch out for those who might be affected by the adverse weather conditions, especially pedestrians, motorcycle riders and bicycle riders, as their 'normal' behaviour might be impacted by hot temperatures and challenging road surface conditions
-Be aware that surfaces can get extremely hot when exposed to sunlight, so be careful what you touch
-Switch off your engine at petrol stations during pumping
