How High is the Trunk Temperature in Summer?

[SabrinaMarie]

When a car is exposed to the scorching sun for an extended period in 40-degree Celsius summer heat, the temperature inside the trunk can exceed 70 degrees Celsius. Here is some information about the trunk: 1. Items in the trunk: Typically, the trunk contains the car's spare tire, first aid kit, onboard tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car refrigerator, and the emergency fuel tank cap release cable. In some high-end models, the starter battery is also located in the trunk. Certain SUV and MPV models may also come with an original emergency flashlight. 2. Reasons why the trunk won't open: (1) Linkage rod or lock cylinder issues. If you frequently use a key to open the trunk, the linkage rod might be broken, and you should visit a repair shop. If you always use the trunk release button, the lock cylinder may be dirty or rusty. Spraying rust remover into the lock cylinder a few times can help open it. (2) Unlocked status. If the trunk hasn't been unlocked with the remote key, it can be difficult to open. Before attempting to open it, press the unlock button on the key or check if the key battery is dead. (3) Mechanical part failure. The trunk itself may have issues, such as a broken wire or other problems preventing it from opening.
