Should New Cars Be Parked with Windows Closed or Open?
1 Answers
Open the windows. Ventilating a new car is highly beneficial for removing odors, not only eliminating the peculiar smells of a new vehicle but also allowing fresh air to circulate inside, which greatly aids the overall air circulation within the car. Here are some relevant details: 1. Benefits of opening windows for ventilation: Exposing a new car to sunlight is intended to accelerate the mobility of formaldehyde molecules, thereby helping to dissipate the formaldehyde gas retained inside the car. However, this doesn't mean the car should be left in continuous direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can accelerate the aging of interior upholstery and even release more harmful gases, which would be counterproductive. 2. Precautions when opening car windows: While driving, avoid opening all windows simultaneously as this can cause chaotic airflow inside the car. Small items placed inside the car can easily be blown over by the strong airflow, potentially causing damage or injury. It is also advisable not to open windows when driving on highways, as doing so is undesirable from various perspectives including fuel consumption, noise, and safety. Additionally, when using the air conditioning, it's important to balance the use of internal and external air circulation to ensure adequate air exchange inside the vehicle.
