Protect Your Car from Overheating, Tyre Blowouts, and Fire Hazards with EuroHaus Expertise
With UAE summer temperatures soaring close to 50°C, your car faces some of the most extreme driving conditions on the planet. Whether you’re navigating Dubai’s highways or parked in direct sun, your vehicle is at serious risk of overheating, tyre failures, and even engine fires.
At EuroHaus Auto Care in Dubai, we help drivers keep their vehicles running safely and efficiently—especially during the harsh summer months. Here’s everything you need to know to stay protected this season.
Your Pre-Drive Summer Safety Checklist
Before starting your engine each day, take a few minutes for this essential routine:
✅ Walk-Around Inspection
Check under your car for fluid leaks—puddles of oil, coolant, or fuel can indicate trouble that’s magnified in extreme heat.
✅ Under-the-Hood Checks
Open the bonnet and look at your coolant reservoir—it should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, make sure your fuel cap is properly tightened to prevent fuel vapour buildup that can lead to fires.
✅ Monitor the Temperature Gauge
Start your engine and keep an eye on the dashboard temperature gauge. It should climb gradually. A sudden spike could indicate a failing cooling system. If you hear unusual noises—grinding, squealing, or knocking—get it inspected by professionals immediately.

Tyre Safety in 50°C Heat
Hot roads in the UAE can reach up to 70°C, putting extreme stress on your tyres.
🛞 Check Tyre Pressure Regularly
Use a digital tyre gauge every 2–3 days. Heat causes air to expand, leading to over-inflation and potential blowouts. Always check when tyres are cold.
🛞 Look for Damage
Watch for bulges, embedded nails, and uneven wear. Even minor flaws can be catastrophic at highway speeds.
🛞 Use Nitrogen Instead of Air
Nitrogen inflation maintains pressure better in extreme heat, offering longer-lasting tyre life and improved safety.
🛞 Replace Ageing Tyres
Tyres over 4 years old, even with good tread, may suffer from UV damage. Check the manufacturing date on the sidewall or let us inspect them for you.

Fire Risk Prevention: Small Steps, Big Impact
Overheating isn’t the only summer danger—in-car fires are more common than you think.
⚠️ Items You Should Never Leave in the Car:
- Plastic water bottles
- Hand sanitiser
- Aerosol cans
- Lighters
- Electronic devices
- Phone chargers or power banks
These can explode or ignite under high temperatures. Even unused power accessories can overheat while idle.
🔥 Clean Your Engine Bay
Grease and oil residues on hot surfaces are fire hazards. Schedule regular engine bay cleaning at EuroHaus to reduce risk.
🔥 Carry a Fire Extinguisher
Keep a 2kg car-rated extinguisher within reach—not hidden in the trunk. In case of visible smoke or a burning smell:
- Pull over safely.
- Switch off the engine.
- Move away from the car (30 meters if possible).
- Call 999 immediately.
Expert Advice from the Field
G. Chacko, founder of EuroHaus Auto Care Dubai, shares:
“Many people ignore their temperature gauge until it’s too late. If you see it rising quickly, don’t keep driving. Stop immediately and call for roadside assistance.”
He adds:
“A Dh200 coolant service now could prevent a Dh15,000 engine repair later. Don’t wait for warning lights—prepare early and service your vehicle before summer peaks.”
