Tired of climbing into an oven after leaving the car parked in the sun in summer? Can’t even breathe from the heat generated inside? We tell you a quick and easy trick to lower the temperature of the passenger compartment by more than 10ºC in a few seconds.
Leaving the car in the sun, in summer, is a bad decision. But many times there is no other remedy and we will pay the consequences when we return to the car after a few hours. The interior temperature of a car in the sun can easily exceed 60ºC, or even more.
Some cars heat up more and others less, and some factors come into play such as the body paint, the darker the heat, or the fact that we use a sun visor or have tinted windows, which will help reduce the focus a bit. of heat Leaving a finger with the windows down is also another possibility, but beware of friends of others…
What the vast majority do is start the engine and turn on the air conditioning. It is an idea, yes, but it takes time to significantly lower the temperature of the cabin. In addition, if the air conditioning does not work, or if it is a vehicle of certain years, it could be the case that the air conditioning is not available.
There is a “trick” that allows the interior temperature to be lowered by about 10ºC in a few seconds. The first thing you should do is open one of the windows on the opposite side of the driver, that is, one of those of our companions on the opposite side, either the front or the rear. When we have the window open, we must open and close the opposite door vigorously to create an air current inside and thus expel the hot air from the interior through the window and introduce air from the outside into the interior.
After this procedure, we will get into the car, start and drive with the 4 windows down to completely ventilate the interior.
