How to Cool Down a Car Exposed to Sunlight in Summer?

Methods to cool down a car exposed to sunlight in summer: 1. Open the doors for ventilation: After a car is exposed to sunlight in summer, it's best to first open the doors to allow air circulation, which helps the car gradually cool down. Once the interior is less stuffy, close the doors and turn on the air conditioning. It's also advisable to use a heat-insulating pad on the seats to avoid excessive heat. 2. Apply car glaze: To reduce the heat caused by UV rays, car manufacturers have developed a high-molecular UV-reflective paint care agent. Applying a layer of this agent on the car's surface in summer can help prevent the body from overheating and minimize UV damage. 3. Clean the radiator: When washing the car, remember to clean the radiator, as it tends to accumulate various impurities that hinder engine cooling. Cleaning the radiator is one way to help cool down the car. 4. Install a sunshade: Summer sunlight can heat up the car's interior. A sunshade can reflect sunlight and prevent direct exposure. Sunshades are typically placed on the front and rear windows. Using a sunshade can significantly lower the temperature of the seats and dashboard, making it an effective cooling method. 5. Park with windows slightly open: In summer, if a car is parked with all windows closed, the interior can become hotter than the outside temperature. To prevent this, leave a small gap (about the width of a finger) when parking to allow air circulation between the inside and outside, thereby reducing the interior temperature. Be cautious not to leave too large a gap to avoid theft of valuables. 6. Park in the shade: The primary reason a car gets hot is direct sunlight exposure. Whenever possible, park the car in a professional underground garage, under a tree, or in any other shaded area. This is the most effective way to prevent the car from overheating.
