It\u2019s the time to enjoy the beach, the pool, a summer road trip, time off, etc. However, for car owners, summer weather can cause the interior of your car to become uncomfortably hot. Cranking the ac is one solution, but that can slowly eat away at your fuel supply over time. Instead, keep your car cool and your passengers comfy with these <\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW12952208 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/how-to-budget-for-a-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">budget-friendly<\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW12952208 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW12952208 BCX0\">summer tips.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-cool-down-your-car-s-interior\">How to Cool Down Your Car&#8217;s Interior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW60547930 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW60547930 BCX0\">Try one or more of these ideas to cool down your car:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Use sunshades and window visors.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> These affordable tools are easy to find online or at your local car accessory shop. Keep these in your car and set them up anytime you need to exit your vehicle for a few minutes, especially if you\u2019re parked in the sun. You can also use a sunshade in your rear window for additional coverage.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Crack your windows<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">. Slightly crack your windows while driving to increase ventilation throughout the car. You don\u2019t need to roll your windows all the way down\u2014just leave a space that\u2019s smaller than your arm. Remember to roll your windows back up when you\u2019re parked to prevent vandalism.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Cover your steering wheel.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> If your steering wheel gets overheated, invest in a steering wheel cover or throw a towel over it when you\u2019re parked.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Park in your garage.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> This may seem like an obvious tip. However, not all homeowners use their garage for its intended purpose. Leave your car in the garage instead of your driveway to keep things cool.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Park in the shade.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> If you\u2019re away from home and can\u2019t access your garage, parking in the shade can keep your car cool. A covered building, such as a parking garage, is your best bet. If that\u2019s not available, park underneath a shady tree or building. A shady parking spot might be worth a slightly longer walk to your destination.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Use seat covers.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Vinyl and leather seats can get warm as they absorb the sun\u2019s rays. Place some cooling cushions or a blanket over your car seats to prevent them from getting too hot. You can store the spare blankets in the trunk or underneath the car\u2019s floor.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Service your air conditioner.<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Properly tuned AC can efficiently cool off your car. If you think your car\u2019s interior is getting too warm even with the AC on, you may need to get it looked at.&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-if-your-car-overheats\">What to Do If Your Car Overheats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">Cars are like <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">t<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">i<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">ny<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\"> greenhouses: the sun comes <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">in through<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\"> the car\u2019s windows and <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">absorbs<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\"> into the car\u2019s interior. <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\">Use the above tips to<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW8114560 BCX0\"> keep your car cool during the summer heat.
