LAS VEGAS - nvtip -- Is Your Car's Air Conditioning Performing at Peak Capacity?
If you've ever driven on a sizzling summer day in Southern Nevada, then you already know what an important job your car air conditioner has. On a 100-degree day, a car's interior can heat up to about 140-degrees within an hour. Driving around with less than cool, or worse, lukewarm air can make an already miserable day almost unbearable.

Tips on How to Cool Down Your Car This Summer
If your car's A/C isn't up to the job of keeping you cool, try following these suggestions to maximize your comfort through the blistering summer months.

Start by Parking in the Shade When Possible
Although technically, there is no difference in temperature when parked in the shade, being in direct sunlight and the sun's radiation makes the air inside your car feel anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees hotter. Parking in a shady spot starts the air out cooler, which in turn, helps your car cool down faster.

If parking in the shade isn't available, create some for your vehicle by putting up a windshield and/or window shades. The bonus to these shades is that they can also protect your dashboard and interior from damage.

Don't Pre-Cool Your Car
Your air conditioner works better when there's actual airflow running through it. It's also better for gas mileage and battery life in an electric or hybrid car to wait until the car is moving to turn on your A/C.

If the interior of the car is extremely hot when you first get inside, crack the back windows for up to 20 seconds and turn on the fan. This will force all the hot air out while bringing in cooler air.
