Do you want to know the one thing that makes summer a drag? The struggle to keep a vehicle’s cabin comfortable is really the only thing we can think of that makes summer less fun. Whether you drive a new Volvo model or one of our pre-owned Volvo cars, you’ll probably agree that few things kill summer fun faster than a cabin that’s too hot.
To make sure your air conditioning is able to keep your cabin comfy when your vehicle is running, we encourage you to bring your car into our Volvo car service center near Lehigh Valley, PA. Our factory-trained technicians will inspect your A/C system to ensure it’s operating properly.
While a working air conditioning system will help keep your cabin cool when your automobile is running, it won’t do much when your car is parked. To make sure your cabin doesn’t get too hot when it’s parked, try to park in the shade whenever possible. In case you can’t find a shaded spot, you may want to pick up a sunshade. Before you exit your vehicle, put your sunshade in place with the reflective side pointed toward your car’s interior.
To prevent your cabin from getting too warm, leave your windows cracked when you park. Do the same with your sunroof or moonroof too. This will allow hot air to escape from your automobile’s cabin.
It’s not just the air that can get hot in a parked vehicle. The car’s surfaces can get quite hot as well. You can prevent your steering wheel and seats from getting hot by covering them with a towel or blanket.
