Windows in a car first let the sun's rays in and then act as an insulator and trap heat inside. Research shows that the color of a car's interior can affect how long it takes to warm up: the darker the interior, the faster the temperature rises.

– Anyone who sees a child locked in a car on a warm day in the sun should immediately become interested in the situation, break the car window and, if necessary, remove the stuck child, and also inform the appropriate services by calling 112. Remember that the child in such a situation is embarrassed by the high fever, usually he doesn’t cry and doesn’t try to get out of the car on his own,” summarize the Renault driving school coaches.
