Air Conditioning


Heading out to your vehicle that’s been parked out in the Omaha heat can be an unpleasant experience. The sting from the hot seats and the muggy air make for an uncomfortable drive. While you may have thought dealing with a burning hot vehicle was a necessary evil, Sid Dillon Nissan is here to help you learn how to keep your car cool in summer. Our team offers all sorts of car-care tips to help make owning your ride stress-free. Learn ways to keep your car cool in the summer below!

Tips for Keeping Your Car Cool 

If you want to beat the heat, follow these tips to keep your car cool in the summer:

  • Park in the Shade: Taking the time to find some shade when parking is a great way to avoid excessive temperatures in the cabin of your car. 
  • Purchase a Sunshade or Window Visors: Sometimes, you have to park in uncovered lots or on sunny streets. You can find all sorts of OEM accessories like sunshades or window visors to keep the sun at bay. 
  • Park in a Covered Area: When possible, park in a covered area like a garage. Not only will this help keep temperatures down, but it will protect your upholstery from sun damage and bleaching. 
  • Cover the Steering Wheel & Dashboard: Often, gripping the steering wheel can be an excruciating experience during the summer months. You can cover your wheel and dash with specialized cloth coverings to avoid the sting of a hot steering wheel. 
  • Crack Open the Windows: Before leaving your vehicle, roll your windows down a bit. You want to open them enough to let air flow through, but you don’t want to roll them down too much and invite theft. 
  • Protect the Leather Surfaces: If you enjoy the supple feeling of leather seats, you may wish you had skipped that luxury during warmer periods. However, simple cloth seat covers can be fitted to your seats to keep things cool during those unbearable weeks in the height of summer. 
  • Let Your Car Cool Before Driving: When possible, open the doors and windows of your vehicle before taking a drive. This will be the fastest way for hot air to escape.
