The most common reason for cars to heat up during summer is due to parking them under direct sunlight. This not only increases the car\u2019s interior and exterior temperature but also may lead the paint to peel off. The best way to avoid being a magnet to the heat is by ensuring that you park your car under the shade. This may be under a tree, in the parking lot, under car enclosures or you may also use full-body covers, while you have your car parked for an extended duration of time.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3276\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/car-parking-in-summer.jpg\" alt=\"Car parking in summer\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/car-parking-in-summer.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/car-parking-in-summer-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Roll Down the Windows Slightly<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In lines with avoiding your car from heating up due to the sun\u2019s summer heat, you can ensure that your car interior temperatures are maintained by cracking down the window. While the car is parked and turned off, rolling down the windows helps in the circulation of air from outside the car to inside, thereby regulating the interior temperature. And before you start your drive, you can turn on the car AC and put in into blower mode so that the hot air from inside the car is replaced by the comparatively cooler air from outside.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/leaving-windows-cracked-keep-car-cooler.jpg\" alt=\"Leaving windows cracked keep car cooler\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/leaving-windows-cracked-keep-car-cooler.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/leaving-windows-cracked-keep-car-cooler-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Cover Your Steering Wheel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many times have you got back into your car and cranked up the engine, ready to go, only to realize that the car steering wheel is burning hot? This is the most dreaded thing for any car driver, which in fact makes it uncomfortable to maneuver the car until the steering wheel gets cooler. To avoid this, a simple tip you can follow is to cover your steering wheel, while not in use, with a small cloth or hand-towel. This ensures that the steering wheel does not come in direct contact with the sun and is relatively cooler.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/keep-the-car-interior-cool-in-summer.jpg\" alt=\"Keep the car interior cool in summer\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/keep-the-car-interior-cool-in-summer.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/keep-the-car-interior-cool-in-summer-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Use a Sunshade or Window Visor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to keep your car cool in summer and all through the hot sunny days is by investing in car window visors or sunshades. Car window visors and shades protect the car interiors from direct contact from the sun thereby maintaining the interior temperature and also avoiding the car seats, especially if leather, from heating up. Nowadays there are a variety of shades and visors available that offer versatile functionality and come at an inexpensive price. They are simple to install and do well to keep your car interior temperatures at the optimum.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/how-do-sunshades-keep-the-car-cool-in-summer.jpg\" alt=\"How do sunshades keep the car cool in summer\" width=\"768\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/how-do-sunshades-keep-the-car-cool-in-summer.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carcility.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/how-do-sunshades-keep-the-car-cool-in-summer-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Maintain Car Tyre Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine enjoying your drive on the highway or cruising down the Dubai city roads, and you end up losing traction or your tyre blows!
