Park in the shade:

This can significantly reduce the temperature inside the car.

Use a sunshade:

[{"selector":"#anim-9b33b02e-b222-42dc-bc1d-9fbe89c46540 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c054b72-2ace-44bb-bb70-9dfb6045b39f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4c943915-a551-42ae-8ec7-e5791d48a1c6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.84313%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] A sunshade is an effective way to keep the sun's rays from heating up the interior of your car. Place it on your windshield whenever you park your car.

Tint your windows:

[{"selector":"#anim-42428b93-1d74-4b8a-acf8-24daab56a113 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-52.270507978172674%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d19c35f-91b4-465c-a161-1f5725a29515","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-851e664a-87e0-404b-8dee-18f12dc7bea6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.84313%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tinting your car windows can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays and prevent heat from entering the car.

Keep your car clean:

[{"selector":"#anim-a15ece33-6abf-4004-98e3-e4dc7a769677 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-4.09127560401846%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d21d8e4-2ac5-4ae2-9182-2cc55341fba5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ab75bb2-e630-4c57-afeb-dacf735a685a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.84313%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] A dirty car can attract more heat, so make sure to keep your car clean both inside and outside.

Use air conditioning efficiently:

[{"selector":"#anim-77c9b205-01af-4d06-9fa3-d55996ebfb5a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f6f46270-1c63-4134-8f5c-fb08d36bf925","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b844efc-250f-4852-b8fd-b415febbaa1f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.84313%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Set the temperature to a comfortable level and avoid turning it to the lowest temperature. Also, roll down the windows for a few minutes before turning on the air conditioner to let the hot air out.

Use seat covers:

[{"selector":"#anim-c66ccc1c-e83b-4838-8d74-cfc44e7356b6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-32266d49-c4f9-4b74-a38a-5b220a54113c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f3c97cce-6f31-48ae-9bcb-5191011e0351","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(107.84313%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Leather seats can get very hot during summers, so use seat covers to protect them from the sun's rays.
