How to Keep Your Car Cool in Summer

Use the AC

If you have it, flaunt it. This is not the time to spare on resources, so if you have a working AC system in your vehicle, use it. Just make sure to give it the maintenance it requires so that you can enjoy driving around in your vehicle even when the world is burning.

Look for ;Shade

To keep yourself and your vehicle on the cooler side, you must hide from the intense sunshine. The only way to do it is to look for shade. Whenever you park, try parking under a tree or another structure. If you have a garage, always get your vehicle in there.

Use Sunshades and Protectors

The blazing sun can damage your skin and your vehicle's components (like the interiors, dashboard, and more). To avoid some of the rays, you can use sunshades and protectors. These simple items can help you block the sun and its negative consequences.

Wipe Down the Wheel

Returning to a ;vehicle that's been out under the sun for a while can be uncomfortable. Moreover, grabbing the wheel of a hot vehicle can be painful. To avoid some of that pain, you can wipe down the wheel with a damp towel to help it cool down before you grab it.

Use Seat Covers

Your hands are not the only ones that suffer in a hot vehicle; the rest of your body can hurt, too. To reduce some of that unpleasantness, you can use seat covers. Place fabric and cushions over the seats, so you don't have to sit on them directly.

Consider Your Vehicle's Fluids

You get extra thirsty when you sweat during summer. Well, picture the same thing for your vehicle. It needs a functioning engine and cooling system to regulate the vehicle's temperature. Ensure their fluids are in good condition so they won't overheat and die.

Roll Down the Windows

Don't let the air get hotter in your parked vehicle. To that end, you can ventilate the vehicle. Roll down the windows a couple of inches (verify your hand can't fit through the opening) and let the hot air out and the cooler air from the outside in.

Air Out Your Vehicle

If, upon entering your vehicle, you notice that it's too hot inside, you can also air it out. Roll the windows down, step outside of the vehicle, and if necessary, swing the doors back and forth to get some hot air out of there before you start driving.

Don't Let the Hot Air Hit You

The last tip to ;keep your car coolis to avoid getting hit by hot air. As you've noticed, if you turn on the AC after the vehicle has been resting in the sun, blazing hot air emerges. This ;isn't great for you. Keep ;the windows ;open as the AC system starts cooling down.
