It’s summertime, and your car’s been parked in full sun.
Even if it’s only 90 degrees outside, it can quickly get well over 130 inside
the car, especially if you forgot to crack a window or use solar shades. Once you start your
car, open all the windows to flush out that super-heated air. After a few
minutes, roll them back up again and engage the “recirculate air” mode. (That’s
little button on your dash with an outline of a car around a bent-backwards
arrow.) If your car’s recirculating air, it won’t be pulling hot air from outside
to mix with the cooler air your car’s AC is pumping. The car will cool down
faster, and there will be less wear and tear on the AC system. Also, if you’re
stuck in traffic or waiting at a stop light, you won’t be breathing exhaust
fumes from the cars around you.
