How to Keep a Car Cool in Summer
There are few feelings as unpleasant as getting into a hot car during a brutal Bayside summer. But your car doesn’t have to be so hot, even in the most sweltering weather. If you’re wondering how to keep a car cool in summer, you’ve come to the right place! Read this guide by the North Bay Cadillac service experts to get some helpful tips on how to keep your vehicle’s cabin comfortable during the summer months.
Tips for keeping cool
Use a Garage or Carport
Keeping your vehicle out of direct sunlight is a simple way to keep it cool. Whether you’re running errands around the Roslyn area or spending most of your time at home, parking your car in a parking garage or inside of your residence’s garage will help prevent it from getting extremely hot.
Park in the Shade
Don’t have access to a garage? If you’re in a parking lot or trying to find a spot on the street, parking under a tree or anywhere there’s shade is a great way to keep a car cool in summer.
Use Visors or Sunshades
Sunshades are fairly inexpensive and they do a great job at keeping your car’s internal temperature down. Their reflective coating prevents sun rays from coming through, and they help protect any plastic surfaces in your car from getting damaged. If you need sunshades for your vehicle, you can order them online from our dealership’s parts center.
Use Window Tint
This operates under the same principle as sunshades and can be just as effective. While tint lets light in, it blocks thermal rays and UV rays. Before tinting your car’s windows, you’ll want to check your state’s laws first as there are stipulations around how dark windows can be tinted, if they can be tinted at all.
Leave Your Windows Open Just a Little
Allowing airflow through your car will go a long way toward keeping it cool. Of course, you’ll only want to do this in an area where you know your car is safe, like where there is lots of security or within a gated community.
Use a Solar-Powered Fan
A solar-powered fan will force more air through the cabin of your car, keeping it cooler. Drivers who know how to keep a car cool in the summer using this method will often use two or more fans.
Use the MyCadillac Mobile App
Did you know that you can remotely start your new Cadillac vehicle, if properly equipped, and turn on the climate controls from your smartphone? That way, you can keep your car cool in summer before you ever get inside. We’ll be happy to show you how to get this capability on your new vehicle.
