While, well-maintained used cars in Dubai, UAE, with a properly functioning air conditioner, are your best bet against the summer heat, here are some other ways you can keep your car cool, especially a parked car. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Park Smart: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a shaded car park or a slot where the sun is behind you. It may not always be possible in a bustling, crowded city like Dubai, but you can still try. That way at least the steering, dashboard, and seats will not be close to boiling hot when you step in. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Use Reflective Coatings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Trust us, one of the best investments you can make for your car this summer is getting a specialist windscreen sun shield with a reflective coating that can block the UV rays and heat. Not only will it keep the temperature inside the cabin relatively cool, but also prevent premature cracking of the plastic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>The Window Gap:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Leave the windows open just a crack to facilitate the flow of air inside the cabin. It can make a huge difference compared to an entirely closed cabin. You don\u2019t want to do that on a day of a sandstorm, though, keep a check on the weather forecast just in case.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Open Door Policy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Having this trick up your sleeve can be handy in case you walk into a baking hot car even after following the tips above. The trick is to leave the doors ajar for at least 15-20 seconds before you step inside to help the hot air inside escape faster. Speaking of handy tips, take a look at these <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/65.1.85.58\/newsroom\/car-drivers-survival-tips-uae-roads\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survival tips for drivers on the UAE roads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Wipe it Down: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a thick, wet cotton hand towel to wipe down the steering and gear knob once you enter. This simple trick can absorb the heat from the plastic, leather or metal surfaces making them easier to touch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Air Recirculation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep the windows open an inch when you start driving and keep the &nbsp;AC in recirculation mode. It can save the AC from having to work too hard to normalize the temperature by recirculating the already cool air inside.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following these simple tips can ensure that your parked car does not feel like an oven when you step inside.
