Park in Shade

Find a shady spot to park your car. This simple step can significantly reduce the interior temperature of your vehicle.

Use Sunshade

Deploy a sunshade on your windshield when parked. It blocks direct sunlight and helps keep the interior cool.

Service Regularly

Regular servicing of your car can ensure that the cooling system is working efficiently and help prevent overheating.

Ventilate

Leave your windows slightly open when parked to allow hot air to escape, reducing the greenhouse effect inside your car.

Cover Seats

Use seat covers or towels. They protect your seats from direct sunlight and keep them cool to the touch.

Use Air Conditioning

Make good use of your car’s air conditioning system. Ensure it’s well-maintained for optimal cooling performance.

Coolant Check

Regularly check and top up your car’s coolant levels. Overheating can cause serious damage to your engine.

Use Dashboard Cover

A dashboard cover can protect your dashboard from the sun’s rays, preventing it from heating up and radiating heat.

Avoid Hot Surfaces

Use steering wheel and seat covers to avoid contact with hot surfaces. They can get uncomfortably hot in direct sunlight.

Hydrate

Always keep a bottle of water in your car. Staying hydrated is important, especially during a heat wave.
