With just a few simple steps, car users can quickly cool the car's interior when parked in hot weather.

During the hot season, cars parked in locations exposed to direct sunlight for about 20 - 30 minutes can cause the temperature in the car's interior to be 10 - 20 degrees Celsius higher than outside. For car models that are not equipped with remote start and automatic air conditioning, it is truly a pain for car owners when returning to the interior, because the temperature difference not only creates discomfort, but also affects health.

However, just mastering a few small tips with the steps below will help car owners quickly "cool down" the interior after parking the car in hot weather:

First, to push hot air out of the interior after parking in the sun, car users should lower the front passenger window.- Photo: Wikihow

Next, stand outside the car and open and close the driver's door (without lowering the window) 6-8 times. This will help the car door act as a fan, bringing fresh air into the cabin, while pushing hot air out of the interior through the front passenger window. However, before doing this, the car owner must make sure the car is parked in a safe area, ensuring that opening and closing the car door does not get in the way or obstruct surrounding vehicles.- Photo: Wikihow

Get in the car, start the engine to move the car and activate the air conditioning system. This will help increase the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning.- Photo: Wikihow

When turning on the air conditioning system, you should set it to outside air intake mode, lower the temperature and set the evaporator fan to the highest speed.- Photo: Wikihow

Adjust the air conditioning vents towards the floor of the car. When the air conditioning is running, the driver should lower the windows to speed up the process of hot air escaping from the car. After feeling the air in the car is cool, adjust the air conditioning temperature, air vents and close the windows. For cars equipped with a sunroof, the driver only needs to open the sunroof instead of the side windows, and perform the same steps as above.- Photo: Wikihow


In addition to the above steps, car users can limit the interior from being "heated up" by parking in a shady area, away from sunlight.- Photo: Wikihow

In addition, during the hot season, car owners should equip themselves with sunshades. After parking, use the sunshades to cover the front and rear windshields... before leaving the car. The sunshades can prevent direct sunlight from shining on the car, thus helping the car not to absorb much heat.- Photo: Wikihow

Finally, the simplest way to prevent heat for the car interior is often chosen by many car users is to apply heat-insulating film. This method both limits sunlight from entering the car and heating the interior, while ensuring the aesthetics of the car.- Photo: Wikihow
