Most of the heat in a parked cabin comes in through the windscreen, so covering it keeps the dashboard, the wheel and the seats far more usable.\n\nPark facing away from the afternoon sun where you can, and crack the windows a few millimetres if it is safe to do so.\n\nBefore you drive\n\nTake the cover off completely and stow it.

It is quick, it needs no cleaning, and it works while you drive.\n\nIt is worth being honest about the limits.

None of those announce themselves. The tyre just quietly gets worse.\n\nFinding your correct pressures\n\nThe figures are on a sticker, usually in the driver's door shut, sometimes inside the fuel flap or in the glovebox.\n\nMost cars list two sets: normal load and fully laden. Use the laden figures when the car is full of people and luggage, which is exactly when people forget.\n\nThe number on the tyre sidewall is the maximum the tyre can take, not the pressure your car wants.\n\nChecking them properly\n\nCheck when the tyres are cold, meaning the car has been standing or has driven less than about two miles.\n\nA warm tyre reads higher. If you check after a motorway run and set the pressure to the door sticker figure, the tyres will be under pressure once they cool.\n\nDo all four, and do the spare. A flat spare is only discovered at the worst moment.\n\nUsing the inflator\n\nConnect the compressor to the 12V socket with the engine running if you are doing all four tyres, so you are not draining the battery.\n\nScrew the connector onto the valve squarely. A leaking connection makes the pump work hard and the reading wander.\n\nSet your target pressure and let the automatic shut off do the work.\n\nLet the unit rest between tyres. Small compressors get hot, and heat is what kills them.\n\nWhat it will not do\n\nIt tops up a tyre that is on the rim and holding air. It will not seat a bead on a fresh tyre and it will not run air tools.\n\nIf a tyre has gone completely flat, look for the cause before you inflate it.
