With the arrival of summer and the motorway journeys, here are some small tips to have an optimal situation inside our car.

With the arrival of summer and the summer holidays that are imminent, many people are wondering how they can travel peacefully inside their vehicle.

Of course, almost all modern cars are equipped with air conditioning. The advice is clearly to set a temperature that is not too low compared to the outside temperature. We always try to maintain a temperature that is never below 25 degrees, as there would be an excessive overhang as soon as we get out of the cockpit.

Clearly, before leaving, we must have the power of the air conditioning system checked in order to avoid unpleasant discoveries once we have positioned ourselves inside the car. In cars with a few years of age, it is necessary not only to recharge the conditioned air, in particular the gas, but to carry out a deeper check inside the engine.

For all those who do not have air conditioning , or are not lovers of the latter, we clearly have some little tricks and tips.

The main one is obviously to open all four car windows. Of course we don't have to have them all fully open, but we can expect to open a few centimeters on all four windows.

It is also possible to buy deflectors for the windows in the aftermarket in order to allow the exchange of air even without having the direct flow of air that directly affects the driver and other passengers. Their cost is certainly very low, but it also allows you to have the possibility of air exchange even within the winter months if the glass of the car fogs up.

A further advice is clearly to travel in the cooler hours, at dawn or after dinner.

We also recommend that you leave the car in the shade and protect it with sheets, especially in the front. In fact, it is the glass surfaces that give the possibility to the sun's rays to enter and to create an overheating of the car.

For those who own a car with an air conditioning system, the advice is to wait a few minutes before actually leaving after turning on the car. The advice is in fact linked to the possibility of the car to lower the temperature and get into an optimal situation.

For some years there has also been a video of a particular Japanese technique of lowering the temperature of the car. Technically it is necessary to lower the driver's window and open the passenger door 3 to 4 times repeatedly in order to create a kind of forced vortex that allows the hot air to escape.

We are talking about a rather rudimentary device that will never be able to lower the temperature as the air-conditioned air does. Here are two small tips to travel peacefully with or without air conditioning and fight the summer heat at the same time.
