Can the car lights be turned off when the air conditioning is on? The car lights can be turned off, but it requires enabling hidden settings to allow the daytime running lights to be switched separately. The hazards of running the air conditioning in two states—engine off and idle—are as follows: Engine-off state: Running the air conditioning or other electrical devices (multimedia, car lights, cigarette lighter, phone charging, etc.) while the engine is off and the car is parked can overload the battery. Prolonged use can easily lead to battery depletion, difficulty starting the engine, and damage to the battery. The battery simply drains power without recharging in this state, which is not worth the cost. Idle state: If the air conditioning is on while the engine is idling, it is recommended not to keep the car in idle mode for too long. "Idling" means the engine is "working but not performing," as it only overcomes internal friction without delivering power output. Incomplete fuel combustion can easily lead to carbon buildup in the cylinders and throttle valve.
