It’s time to relax and enjoy a nice summer outing with the family! However, nothing can disrupt a relaxing trip like accidentally leaving something in your hot car that you weren’t supposed to. Leaving certain items in your car as the temperature rises in Charlotte could lead to some serious consequences! These include things like messes or even having to purchase replacements. Avoid these situations this summer by following these tips on what to take out of your hot car from Toyota of N Charlotte.
Don’t leave these items in your hot car this summer
- Sunglasses/Glasses – If you wear any type of glasses while in the car, this warning is for you! No matter if your eyewear has metal or plastic frames; you should take them out of the hot car! High temperatures can melt plastic frames and metal frames can get warped! Replacing them could be a pain for both you, and your wallet.
- Bottled water – Bottled water is essential if you’re going to be spending a summer day outside in Charlotte. However, if you leave them in your car, be sure not to drink from them again! The heat in your car causes the BPA in the bottles to breakdown and go into your drinking water. Drinking too much of this BPA filled water can be bad for your health. So be sure to remove these plastic water bottles from your hot car if you want to keep drinking from them!
- Crayons – These useful craft items are great for occupying bored children. They aren’t so great for your family Toyota if they melt in your car. Be sure to avoid this from happening by keeping crayons secured in a plastic bag, or taking them with you when you leave the car.
- Electronics – While you don’t have to worry too much about the Toyota technology that is equipped in your car, you do need to worry about anything you bring into it. This includes items such as cameras and smartphones. Left in a hot car for too long, and the heat can fry your devices to the point where they are unusable.
