Tips to quickly cool the car interior when parked in the sun

Cool down the gear shift and steering wheel

The steering wheel is made of carbon and leather, so when the high temperature sunlight shines through the windshield onto the steering wheel, this part easily absorbs a lot of heat energy and becomes very hot. At this time, the driver needs to cover the steering wheel surface with a piece of cloth or towel to cool it down and avoid the sun.

The gear lever is also a part that gets sunburned quite quickly on a car and is also a frequently used detail.

To quickly cool down the steering wheel and gear lever, the driver can use a damp cloth to cover the surface or use a damp cloth to wipe the surface to help the steering wheel and gear lever cool down more quickly.

Start the engine before getting in the car

If you are sensitive to heat and high temperatures, before starting the car, open the driver's side door and continuously open/close the driver's side door according to the "cylinder pumping" principle to push all the hot air out.

Then, close all the doors and start the engine, turn on the air conditioner at a not too cold level, about 27 to 27.5 degrees with the fan at medium level for 5 minutes to give the air conditioning system time to cool the cabin before getting in the car.

Spray water on glass

When driving on the highway, spraying water on the glass will also help reduce the temperature of the car. If there is no water hose available, you can turn on the windshield washer to spray water on the glass. Along with that, you should adjust the air conditioning temperature in the car to match the outside temperature, not too different to avoid thermal shock when stepping outside.

Adjust the air conditioner properly

With the principle of hot air rising and cool air accumulating below, when sitting in the car, the driver should turn on the air conditioner in high-intensity fan mode and then direct the wind down to the feet. With this method, we need to open a part of the window so that the hot air can quickly escape from the interior compartment.

If you see signs of temperature drop, turn on the AC to experience the most comfortable feeling.

Open and close continuously

This is an effective measure to reduce the air temperature inside the car that many car owners apply. The interior compartment can be considered as a cylinder, opening the passenger door will be the output and closing it at the same time, opening the driver's door every 5-6 minutes for 30 seconds will help the car push out a significant amount of hot air.

You can open the car door 5-15 minutes before getting in the car.

After opening and closing the door, the driver should start the engine and turn on the air conditioner to make the air in the car cooler, so that the driver will not feel stuffy when sitting in the car.

Car cover

The car body is made of metal, so if you park it outside for many hours in the hot sun with the doors closed, the car will be no different from an oven. In this case, we need to cover the car with a specialized tarpaulin or any item that can cover the car well.

In addition, you should park your car in shady places such as under trees or next to buildings... In addition, you can use reflective panels to cover interior details that are directly exposed to sunlight such as dashboards, seats and car interiors.

Applying heat-insulating film is also a method applied by many car owners to reduce heat for the car and protect interior details.
