In the UAE, the desert doesn't just test your driving skills — it tests your vehicle's cooling system too.

Even the toughest 4×4 can overheat if it's not properly maintained. Whether you're cruising through Hatta's mountain roads or Liwa's scorching dunes, keeping your car cool is essential for performance and safety.

Common Overheating Triggers

  • Low coolant levels
  • Dirty radiators
  • Old hoses or thermostats

Smart Cooling Tips

  1. Check coolant and radiator condition weekly during summer.
  2. Clean radiator fins regularly to remove sand.
  3. Avoid revving or idling for long periods in soft sand.
  4. Use reflective sunshades and window visors when parked.
