If the air circulation is good and the temperature is low, an adult can stay in the car for 2 hours without any adverse reactions. However, in a high-temperature environment during summer, a car at 35 degrees Celsius can reach 50 degrees Celsius inside within 30 minutes. Combined with the confined space, this can lead to fatal consequences within an hour. Precautions for sleeping in a car are as follows: Ventilation: When sleeping in a car, always leave a gap to allow air circulation. Do not close the doors and windows completely to avoid oxygen deprivation and suffocation. At the same time, the gap should not be too large to prevent attracting the attention of criminals and potential theft. Use of Air Conditioning: When sleeping in a car, it is best to turn off the compressor and switch the air conditioning to external circulation mode to allow natural airflow into the car. Avoid turning on the compressor and using internal circulation mode to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Parking Location: Choose an open area to park when resting in a car. Avoid parking in underground garages or other confined spaces to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide.
