Chances are, you know what it\u2019s like to get into a car that\u2019s been cooking in the sun. Indeed, climbing into a scorching hot seat is no one\u2019s idea of fun, especially if they\u2019re wearing a skirt or shorts. Add to the equation a sizzling steering wheel \u00a0and a blistering seat belt buckles and you could easily scald yourself. In this article, the team at Certified Auto Repair gives you some practical advice to help spare you this discomfort and keep your car cool during summer.<\/p>\n

Try light colours for your seats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Black clothing tends to get hot in the sun, and the same goes for black and charcoal car seats. If your car has a dark-coloured interior, consider getting yourself some light-coloured seat covers or wrapping the seats in a simple white sheet. This will help moderate the temperature, not only of your seats, but also your car\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

Use window shades<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want your car to double as a sauna this summer, get yourself some car window shades. This type of accessory, which attaches to the inside of your car\u2019s windows with hooks or suction cups, helps to block out the sun when your vehicle\u2019s parked. In addition, they contribute to the comfort of your passengers when you\u2019re out driving on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Park in the shade<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have the opportunity to park in the shade, don\u2019t pass it up! Trees, underground parking, garages and car canopies are all havens for your vehicle in the summer months. As an extra tip, slightly crack open your car windows when parked indoors so that the air in your car stays fresh.<\/p>\n

Get tinted windows<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to increasing privacy and deterring thieves, tinting your windows keeps your car cool. However, be aware that there are strict regulations around tinting windows. Consult this article from the SAAQ <\/a>to learn more.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay cool as you cruise<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re forced to climb into a hot car, first, be sure to fully open all the windows and let the heat escape from your car\u2019s cabin. After several minutes, close them all and switch on your car\u2019s air-conditioning system.<\/p>\n

Finally, here are some general tips for more comfortable summer driving:<\/p>\n

*Wear sunglasses and a hat<\/p>\n

*Wear breathable clothing<\/p>\n

*Drink enough water<\/p>\n

*Smile (after all, the sun is shining)!<\/p>\n

To have your car\u2019s air conditioning system inspected by an expert, schedule an appointment at your local Certified Auto Repair<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
