With summer well on its way, the heat will be picking up in no time. That means it’s time to get your car ready to handle the hotter days. The following pointers will help you keep your vehicle cool and comfortable even when the sun is shining brighter than ever.
- Open Your Windows
Once you’ve checked the weather forecast and made sure the day is clear of rain showers or sand storms, crack your windows open. This will allow your car’s interior to release the hot air. Cracking them open about an inch is enough to do the trick.
- Park in a Shaded Location
If you can park in a shaded area, perhaps beneath trees or inside a parking garage, it will greatly help keep your car cool. For days when you have no luck finding shaded parking or when you forget to crack the windows open, leave your car doors open for two minutes or so before entering your vehicle. It’ll offer some time to let the hot air out.
- Activate the Lower AC Vents
When many of us enter a hot car, our first inclination is to turn on the upper AC vents as soon as possible to cool down. However, since hot air rises, turning on the cold air from the bottom vents first will actually cool the vehicle much more quickly. Just be sure to choose the maximum fan setting for the vents, with the upper vents closed. Once the hot air escapes, open the upper vents.
- Use a Sun Shade
Sun shades are great for those who always have to park in outdoor areas with heavy sun exposure. To be most effective, the sun shade should cover the entire windshield. Some vendors can even customize your sun shade to efficiently fit your vehicle’s windshield.
- Install Window Tints
Vehicle window tints can keep your vehicle interior cool, while simultaneously protecting you from harmful UV rays. Window tints offer a myriad of benefits, including safety for your vehicle’s interior, as they can protect the upholstery against fading and cracking. Unlike sun shades, window tints can be applied on all of your car’s windows, offering a high level of protection.
