During summer, a car can turn into a furnace when left in the sun. At 35°C outside, the interior can reach 50-60°C in just 30 minutes. Even simple items inside can pose fire risks. For safety, avoid leaving certain objects in your car during trips.

Lighter

A cigarette lighter left in a sunlit car is highly dangerous. It contains flammable gas and material under pressure, which expands as temperatures rise. This can cause the lighter to explode, and a spark could ignite seats or plastics.

Sanitizers and Perfumes

Since COVID-19, sanitizers are common in cars, but they contain over 70% alcohol, which is flammable. Aerosols like deodorants and air fresheners are pressurized. Heat increases their pressure, risking explosion and fire.

Power Banks and Gadgets

Devices like phones, power banks, and laptops use lithium-ion batteries, which can swell or explode if overheated, especially on dashboards exposed to sunlight.

Plastic Water Bottle

While it seems unlikely, a water-filled plastic bottle can act like a magnifying glass. Focused sunlight can generate enough heat to cause a fire within minutes.

Glasses and Lenses

Glasses on dashboards can also focus sunlight, melting plastic or igniting a fire, similar to a water bottle.
