With just a few simple steps below, you can quickly help your car reduce heat.
In reality, cars face not only the summer sun but also the heat rising from the road surface.
Many studies show that if a car is left in summer heat of around 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise to nearly 60 degrees. This is why every time you get in your car, it feels like stepping into a small sauna.
After leaving a car for 10 minutes under 27-degree heat, the temperature inside will be 37 degrees. Another 10 minutes will raise it to 42 degrees. After 90 minutes, the heat can reach 60 degrees Celsius. (Illustrative image).
Turning on the air conditioning and maximum fan speed does not help reduce the temperature quickly. In some cases, attempting to enter a car that is already hot and waiting for the air conditioning and fan to cool the interior can be very dangerous, as it exposes you to the risk of heat shock due to excessive heat.
To prevent this, there are many tips available, such as parking in shaded areas and using specialized sunshades both inside and outside the vehicle. However, when the heat in Hanoi reaches its peak, these measures only help to some extent.
We still need a method that can help quickly reduce heat in the car. Here’s what we recommend:
Before using the vehicle, open the window on the opposite side and then close and open the door next to the driver’s seat about 5-7 times; it takes only about 30 seconds.
This method helps expel hot air out through the driver’s side door while drawing in cooler air through the open window.
This method is extremely useful as it expels hot air through the driver’s side door while pulling in cooler air from the open window. After that, you can turn on the air conditioning for a few minutes. This will significantly reduce the stifling heat inside the car, thus minimizing the risk of heat shock, especially for young children.
Finally, if you can’t avoid the scorching heat of summer, use your car smartly to avoid unfortunate incidents.
Additionally, you can refer to the following methods to cool down your car quickly:
- Use sunshades: This is a proactive way to reduce the direct heat from sunlight hitting the cabin. Users only need about 6-8 sunshades to cover the windows and windshield. Thanks to these sunshades, the heat-retaining components inside the cabin will be shielded from direct sunlight, making it less hot.
- Close the windows and drive with the air conditioning set to “MAX A/C”: While closing the windows restricts airflow, it allows the car to cool down better. Opening the car doors helps release the hot air but also lets some of the cool air from the car’s air conditioning escape.
