Can I drive my 2010 Hyundai Elantra for 600 miles in temps up to 110?

I am in Colorado right now and am 600 miles from my destination and want to drive it all tomorrow. It is crazy hot and will be over 100 degrees for the last 3 hours of the trip. Will I make it or will I over heat?

    Unless there is a mechanical problem with your car or your low on coolant your car will not overheat in 110 degrees.

    Should be OK as long as the road stays open and you keep moving

    air over that radiator.

    You are talking 10-12 Hrs on the road.

    With a modern car in good shape, I'd worry more about you, driving that tired.

    Take rest breaks.

    slap stick is correct. Just check all your fluids and tires before you leave .. 100 or 110 degrees not a problem at all for a car in good condition. be sure your tires a fully inflated and check the air in your spare tire too incase you need it , , the tires will get hot in those temps.

  • Unless you have a problem with the car then it's ok, you can drive your car in a temperature up to 135 I believe without any overheating problems.
