Will Parking a Car Outside in Summer Cause Damage?

[VanClaire]

Parking a car outside in the sun won't directly damage it, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can accelerate body aging, reduce performance, and endanger life and property safety. Below are the hazards of prolonged sun exposure for cars: Increased harmful gases inside the car: While sunlight can help eliminate odors like formaldehyde, excessive exposure may rapidly generate large amounts of harmful gases that are difficult to dissipate. Therefore, remember to ventilate the car when it's exposed to sunlight. Increased safety risks: Items such as compressed gas containers, lithium batteries, lighters commonly used by men, moisturizing sprays frequently used by women, cooling sprays often used in summer, and power banks are prone to explosion or combustion under high temperatures. It's best to store these items in the glove compartment or other areas shielded from direct sunlight, or preferably not leave them in the car at all.
