6 Tips to keep your Car Cooler this Summer

 

Of all, one bad experience in the summer season is a baking car from the inside that makes you feel like a cupcake being baked into an oven. The steering wheel, dashboard and even the seats become hot enough to saute you well, and imagine, what if the air conditioner isn’t working efficiently?

Apart from a few malls and hotels, finding enclosed or basement parking isn’t an easy job. Even in most of the residential buildings, you'll notice that almost half of the cars are parked in an open area under the sun due to limited covered parking.

Below, we have mentioned a few most effortless tips that will surely help you deal with this situation by cooling your car’s cabin rapidly.

Park Under a Shade

Finding basement parking is definitely not possible most of the time but you should try finding some shady spots, like under a tree, or beside a highrise building that offers a shady spot. Stepping into your car after this isn’t that uncomfortable and the cabin will cool down quickly once the air conditioner is turned on.

Keep Windows slightly Open

Rolling down your car’s windows slightly is one easy task, it allows cross-ventilation inside the cabin and due to this the temperature inside the car doesn't rise enough, even when your car is parked under the sun. Just make sure the windows are not open wide enough to let someone slip a hand inside and unlock your car.

Use Sunshades

Using sunshades inside a car is an uncomplicated as well as an economical way to deal with this situation. Sunshade's price starts from as low as 100 rupees and is available easily at every car accessories shop. Place it on the windows and windshields while parking your car under the sun.

Apply cover on Seats

If you have a leather seat in your car then you might already know how hot this material can be under sunlight. In this situation what you can do is, cover the leather seats with a cotton towel that will keep them cool in the summer season.

Roll down windows on Entering your Car

When you enter your car in the summer open all windows completely for a minute and switch on the air conditioner. This will discard the hot air out of the car letting your cabin cool and comfortable.

Get the car’s air conditioner serviced

This is the last tip but actually should be performed at least a month before the summer season starts. To some, it might be an obvious thing to do but people often ignore this. Clogged ventilation pipes, filters and low levels of refrigerant gas will surely reduce the cooling efficiency of an air conditioner. This service can cost approximately 2,000 to 3,000 rupees.
