Not enough info. It does take a few minutes to really get cool in a car
that has been in the sun for a while. Inside can easily be 130 degrees.

Open windows to get the hot air out and start driving. Once the cook
air is blowing, close the windows, but keep it on a fresh air setting.
If it is 120 in the car and 100 out of the car, you will want to cool
that 100 degree air to replace the 120 degree. You can change it to
recirculate one the start to get cooler.

The color of the car can make a huge difference. Dark colors can be 20
degrees or more hotter than a light color. Las Vegas area is loaded
with white cars. Some cars, at idle, barely put out the cooling needed
to stay comfortable.

A short tip to the store in a very hot car in traffic will be
uncomfortable. Five minutes at 40 mph or higher speeds cooling
considerably.
