5 Tips to Keep Your Parked Car Cooler
Summertime in Tennessee can be brutal, with temperatures quickly soaring. The last thing you want is to climb into a car that feels like an oven. Did you know that when outdoor temperatures range from 80 to 100 degrees, the inside of your car can reach a sweltering 130 to 172 degrees? (Source: Action News)
To help you beat the heat, here are five practical tips to keep your car cooler this summer:
1. Park in the Shade
Whenever possible, choose a shady spot. Parking under trees, in covered parking, or away from direct sunlight can significantly reduce the heat inside your car. If shade isn’t an option, try to park with the sun hitting the passenger side instead of the driver’s side to keep your seat and steering wheel cooler.
2. Use Sunshades and Visors
Invest in a windshield sunshade to block the sun’s rays from heating your car’s interior. For added protection:
3. Let Your Car Cool Before Getting In
If your car has a remote starter, turn on the air conditioning a few minutes before getting in to cool it down. No remote starter? Leave the doors open for a minute to release the trapped heat before you climb inside.
4. Protect Your Steering Wheel and Seats
No one enjoys grabbing a scorching-hot steering wheel or sitting on heated seats. Protect yourself by:
Covering the steering wheel with a light-colored towel.
Using seat covers or light-colored towels to reduce heat absorption, especially if you have leather seats.
5. Tint Your Windows
Tinted windows are one of the best ways to keep your car cooler by reducing the amount of sunlight that enters. They also provide added privacy and protect your interior from UV damage.
