Keep Your Car Cool this Summer in Kearney

How can you keep your car cool in summer around Lexington? Simply follow the suggestions below to have more enjoyable summer travels.

• Park in the Shade: If you can park in the shade around Grand Island, it is best to do so. It is one of the easiest ways to keep the temperature down inside the cabin of your vehicle.
• Purchase a Sunshade or Window Visors: If parking in the shade is not an option, a sunshade or window visors are the next best thing.
• Park in a Covered Area: Park your car in a garage or under a covered area as much as you can.
• Cover the Steering Wheel & Dashboard: Nobody enjoys the pain of a hot steering wheel. A cloth steering wheel cover can help prevent you from burning your hands. To protect the dashboard from sun damage, consider a dash cover as well.
• Crack Open the Windows: Leave the windows open just a bit so that air can circulate throughout the cabin. Don’t leave the windows down too much if your vehicle will be left unattended for long periods of time.
• Protect the Leather Surfaces: If your vehicle has leather seats, they can become extremely hot due to high summer temps. You may want to consider cloth seat covers for the summer months. These covers can also help preserve your leather and prevent fading and cracking.
• Get Tinted Windows: If the laws in your area allow, tinting your windows can help keep you cool and protect the interior of your vehicle from the sun.
• Let Your Car Cool Before Driving: If you are not in a rush, open the car doors and let your car cool off before getting behind the wheel.
