Leaving your Acura vehicle outside on a hot day can be dangerous to everything inside. Sweltering temperatures and sunlight can harm people and objects left inside your car. That’s why you should never leave these seven things in a hot car on a hot California day.
Kids and Pets
Everyone should know the dangers of leaving kids and pets in a hot car. Always take them with you whenever possible, and ensure they have plenty of water to cool them down. If you need to leave them in the car for a moment, someone should be in the vehicle with them, and the A/C should be running.
Electronics
Prolonged heat and sun exposure can damage electronics. If you need to leave your electronics behind, keep them out of the sunlight and in a cooler compartment.
Medication
Prescription and OTC drugs can lose effectiveness if exposed to high heat. Thus, you should always carry your medications with you rather than leave them behind.
Wet Towels
When you take your Acura vehicle to the beach, you shouldn’t leave wet towels and clothes inside for long. Otherwise, the heat will cause bacteria and yeast to grow.
Food and Drinks
Food and drinks can spoil quickly inside a hot vehicle. Never leave perishable items inside a hot car for any longer than necessary.
Lighters
Rather than leave lighters in a hot Acura vehicle, you should remove them when temperatures rise. Otherwise, they run the risk of spontaneously exploding.
Water Bottles
Any open water bottle can breed bacteria when exposed to heat. Dispose of empty water bottles as soon as possible.
