A car standing in the blazing sun can quickly reach 50 degrees and hotter inside. Then some objects can become a real danger – so you should definitely take them out of the car.
One thing is clear: Small children and pets have no place in parked cars in summer. The interior heats up in the sun after just a few minutes – there is a risk of death. But objects lying around in the car can also be dangerous in the heat. The Auto Club Europa (ACE) points this out.
Because highly flammable liquids or gases can cause explosions from 50 degrees. A temperature that is already possible after one hour in a parked car with an outside temperature of 28 degrees. So if you leave deodorant spray, disinfectant, antifreeze from last winter or cleaning products for the car wash in the car, you risk having an accident in the blazing sun.
And electronic devices such as rechargeable batteries, mobile phones, power banks or e-book readers should not be left in the car in summer temperatures. They can also explode in direct sunlight.
If you don’t want to do without a power bank and the like in the car, it’s best to store the devices in the trunk, advises ACE: “It’s usually cooler here, and a possible explosion does less damage.” However, that also depends on the vehicle type , so that with a Caddy, for example, the large rear window does not keep a parcel shelf from keeping as much heat out of the trunk.
By the way: Water and other liquids also expand when heated. So that nothing spills, olive oil, mineral water and co. should be taken out of the car in summer, preferably immediately after shopping.
