Here are some ways to cool your car interior:

1. Use sunshades to help protect the vehicle interior from direct sunlight. Pay particular attention to the front and side windows, as they usually receive the most sunlight;
2. Look for places in the shade. Try to park under large trees or canopies if possible. This will help avoid direct heating of the car under the sun;
3. Leave the windows or sunroof half-open, if it is safe to do so, when leaving the car parked for a long time. This way, hot air will escape from the cabin, which will reduce the temperature inside the car;
4. Before getting into the car, open the doors for a few minutes to let the hot air out of the cabin. Then turn on the ventilation by setting it to a higher position to speed up the cooling process;
5. If the seats in your car are black, they may absorb more heat, which contributes to the temperature in the cabin. Try installing light-colored seat covers to help reduce heat absorption and keep the seats cool.
