What small-cab practice helps prevent a parked truck from becoming dangerously hot for a driver returning to it, and for any occupant or pet?
- A.Close all vents to keep heat out for hours
- B.Park in shade when possible, ventilate or run air conditioning before occupying, and never leave a person or animal in a closed hot vehicle
- C.Leave pets in the cab with windows fully closed
- D.Heat inside a parked cab is harmless
Correct answer
B. Park in shade when possible, ventilate or run air conditioning before occupying, and never leave a person or animal in a closed hot vehicle
Why
Interior temperatures in a closed vehicle can climb to lethal levels quickly in summer sun. No errand is short enough to make leaving a child or pet in a hot cab safe.
