Does Your Car Act Strange On Hot Days?

[Leev_35]

Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can assist in my query. 2 weeks ago I left my car outside a friends place because I had to catch a Taxi home due to my intoxicated state.

Anyway midday the next day I went and collected my car. it was a stinker of a day and the car was getting a beating from the sun all day.

I started the car, plugged in the iPhone and opened the factory screen, the sexy lass living in my dash politely told me something and the screen went black. I started again by closing the screen and opened it again, and she repeated her phrase and the screen remained off. I repeated this on my drive home and kept watching the outside temperature reading drop.

When the temp dropped to 36 degrees The Dash lady said something different and my screen came to life.

Does anyone know if theres some sort of temperature cut out or something that would have caused this.

Not a big deal but thought it was very strange! These cars are full of mystery arent they!

cheers

Sounds like she didn't like you cheating on her with the taxi

I know she was jealous but I took her home and gave her a massage and a wax!

Exact same thing happened to mine once. Got a bit worried but everything was normal after that. It was extremely hot that day. Shouldn't be too worried about it.

my passenger lock actuator died after a hot day...

dont know if its a cut off or not but its normal. if temp for screen is too hot then itll automatically turn off.

Passenger window started playing up after a day in the sun, but I'd only picked the car up the day before so not sure how reliable it was before.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this happened to me today. It got up around 35 degrees, car was left outside work, no shade whatsoever. Couldn't really understand what the chick living in my screen was saying

I started the car, windows down, aircon on full for around 5 mins then shut it off, turned it back on and voila! it works! Still curious as to what the issue is. Anyone know what she's saying?

Hi Tarun,

My car was at Perth Festival Of Speed yesterday from 8:30am - 4:00pm as part of my car club stand. It was in a middle of large clear-out area with no trees, no shades, etc. and it was 46 degrees at noon. Luckily, nothing happened like you mentioned above. But it had happened occasionally with a few owners already, so there must be something that bothers the way the car system runs when it is parked in a really hot area.
