Is it okay to leave a new car exposed to the sun?
1 Answers
Problems that may occur when a new car is exposed to the sun: 1. Formaldehyde: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can intensify formaldehyde pollution inside the car. New cars already have issues with excessive formaldehyde and unpleasant odors upon purchase. Exposure to the sun rapidly increases the interior temperature, accelerating the volatilization of formaldehyde. The confined space of the car makes it easier for formaldehyde pollution to accumulate. 2. Tires: Tires exposed to the sun will age more quickly. If the tires have been exposed to sunlight, it is advisable to park the car in a shaded area to allow them to cool naturally, as cold water can accelerate aging. 3. Paint: The car's paint may fade or lose its gloss when exposed to the sun, and the paint surface is more prone to aging. 4. Glass: The glass may soften under high temperatures. If there is any existing damage, the glass is more likely to break under such conditions.
