What Are Some Tips for Ventilating by Opening Car Windows?

Tips for ventilating by opening car windows include opening a single window and opening windows diagonally. Here are the details: 1. Opening a single window: The main purpose of opening a single window is to release bad air from inside the car. When smoking, opening the window on your side will quickly expel the secondhand smoke. 2. Opening windows diagonally (to reduce interior noise): Sometimes when driving with windows open, the noise can be very loud. If you feel hot and want ventilation but dislike the noise, opening windows diagonally is the solution. This means opening one front window and one rear window on the opposite side. This not only provides good ventilation but also minimizes noise.
When I first started driving, I didn't know the tricks of ventilating by opening windows. Later, I found that opening windows diagonally is most effective—lower the front left window by one-third and leave a small gap in the right rear window. This way, airflow travels diagonally from the front to the back of the car, creating air convection without any whistling noise. During summer traffic jams, I open the windows like this—it saves on AC fuel costs and the breeze is gentle. Opening all four windows at once creates chaotic airflow, messing up your hair and making noise. Opening just one window at high speed causes flapping noises, so I recommend cracking open the sunroof for a more comfortable ride. These are all little driving tips I've picked up over the years!
