Happening in Toll Area Rest – Here’s the Danger of Opening the Hood When Parking – Gridoto.com
GRIDOTO.COM – The view at the toll road rest area during the busy Lebaran holiday that is, many drivers open the hood of the car when parking.
Before discussing the potential dangers, do you really need to open the hood? engine when parking?
The gasping hood was deliberately made by the owner. After long trip, while the owner rests, then the machine tries cooled.
Theres no prohibition against opening the hood, but it doesnt affect either. Temperature the engine will also be normal, said Arief Hidayat, CEO of Wealthy Group.
According to this Wealthy car care distributor, the engine working temperature is different with ambient temperature. The working temperature of the machine ranges from 90-95 degrees Celsius. This is where energy efficiency and fuel consumption are obtained.
The fan or extra fan will rotate automatically if the machine needs it cooling. So thats actually the ideal engine temperature. With a note that the cooling system works optimally.
In contrast to the ambient temperature the car owner might feel. The heat in the area outside the bonnet is felt around the car. So the engine hood felt the need to open.

If you have to open must wear a mat or gloves.
Besides that, dont sit around the front of the car if you feel it hot. Likewise, dont park in crowds, there must be potential heat disturbing passersby.
NEW?
Its all wrong, the car also cant be left to the toilet or restaurant. The problem is todays cars, one of the sensors or alarm switches is inside the engine area. So if you use the remote key in the car, then the alarm sounds.
Besides that, who knows there is an ignorant hand who is targeting engine components, if the car is left behind. Lastly, from an aesthetic point of view it seems not good to see.
