Tips for Keeping Your Car Cool 

Learn how to keep your car cool in summer with these steps below:

• Park in the Shade: This helps keep the temperature in your luxury car as low as possible. 
• Purchase a Sunshade or Window Visor: Can’t find a shaded area where you’re running errands in Westlake Village? A sunshade or window visor can be helpful. You can also buy a sunshade for your rear window. 
• Park in a Covered Area: You can also park in a garage to protect your vehicle from the sunlight or park it in a shaded parking spot under a tree. 
• Cover the Steering Wheel & Dashboard: You can also purchase a cloth steering wheel to help prevent burning your hands when it’s hot outside. The pain of getting into a car during the summer and burning yourself on hot vinyl is real. Dash covers also protect your car’s surfaces from sun damage. 
• Crack Open the Windows: Keep air moving through the interior cabin by keeping a window down a little bit. Don’t roll them down completely, especially if your car will be unattended for a while.
• Protect the Leather Surfaces: Leather can get hot during teh summer, and sun exposure can cause the material to fade over time. Cloth seat covers help protect your leather seats during the summer.
• Get Tinted Windows: Tinted windows help reduce the temperature of your luxury vehicle’s interior cabin. Be sure to follow state laws when it comes to purchasing tinted windows.
• Let Your Car Cool Before Driving: Open the doors and let your vehicle cool off before driving off. Doing this helps move the warm air out of the car so the cooler air can move in.
