Something that we commonly encounter these days during homecoming is the scene at the rest area Many motorists open the hood of their cars when they are parked.
However, what exactly are the benefits and rules of opening the hood of a car while resting from a long-distance trip?
The hood of the car is deliberately left gaping by the car owner who is traveling long distances in the hope that the engine temperature can quickly drop. While the owner rests, the car engine tries to cool down by leaving the hood open.
There are no restrictions on opening the hood, but it doesn't really matter. The engine temperature will also remain normal. You need to know that the engine working temperature is different from the ambient temperature. The engine working temperature ranges from 9 to 95 degrees Celsius. This is where the efficiency of power and fuel consumption is obtained.
Fan or extra fan will automatically rotate if the engine needs cooling. Therefore, the ideal engine temperature is actually like this. Provided that the cooling system works optimally.
Unlike the ambient temperature that car owners may feel. Heat in the outside area bonnet felt around the car. Because of this many motorists feel engine hood-needs to be opened because it is too hot.
Opening the hood of your car can be a dangerous moment. Especially if the component is hot, you might end up hurting your own hands. Keep in mind that if you are forced to open it, you must use a mat or gloves.
Also, don't sit around the front of the car if it feels hot. Likewise, don't park in crowded areas, where the potential for heat may interfere with passers-by.
It's not as if you can't leave your car to go to the restroom or a restaurant. The problem is that in today's cars, one of the sensors or alarm switch is on the inside of the engine area. So if the car is locked with remote then the alarm will sound.
In addition, who knows if there are ignorant hands who are eyeing your engine components whose gaping hood is left behind. Lastly, in terms of aesthetics, it looks like a car parked with its hood open is less pleasing to the eye.
