What to Do When the Car Interior Temperature is High?
2 Answers
When the car interior temperature is high, the specific solutions are as follows: 1. Continuously open and close the car doors: Quickly replace the hot air inside the car through air exchange by first opening the passenger-side door, then opening and closing the driver-side door 5 to 10 times to release the hot air inside. 2. Replace with a spare ventilated seat cushion: After getting out of the car, place the cushion in a cooler spot inside the car. When you get back in, using the cushion placed earlier will separate you from the original hot cushion, helping to lower the interior temperature. 3. Use physical cooling methods: Prepare a cooling spray by mixing alcohol with water in a ratio of 1 (alcohol) to 10 (water). After mixing, pour it into a spray bottle. When using, open the car doors and windows, then spray the mixture around the car interior. After one minute, the temperature inside the car will noticeably drop. 4. Turn on the car air conditioning's cooling mode: Activating the car air conditioning's cooling mode will blow cold air, helping to cool down the interior faster.
As an experienced driver, I've learned that the most important thing when the car gets hot is to quickly dissipate the heat. The old trick is to open the doors to let the hot air out before closing them again. I immediately roll down all the windows to ventilate for a few minutes, then turn on the air conditioning at maximum fan speed using the outside air circulation mode. After being exposed to the sun, the dashboard can become scorching hot, so don't cut corners when parking—find a shady spot or use a reflective sunshade for the front windshield, which can lower the temperature by over 10 degrees. In summer heat, avoid leaving lighters or perfumes in the car as they pose a significant fire hazard. Before setting off, check if the air conditioning is cooling properly—don't wait for a breakdown to fix it, as a dirty air filter can also hinder cooling. For long trips, bring ice water or a small fan to help cool down, which is the safest way to prevent heatstroke. If you feel unwell, pull over and rest immediately. Developing these habits ensures a comfortable and safe drive.
