Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning Immediately After Starting the Car in Summer?
1 Answers
No. This is because the engine has not yet been properly lubricated and has not reached its normal operating temperature. Turning on the air conditioning increases the engine load. Here is some relevant information: Do not smoke when the air conditioning is on inside the car: Some car owners may open the air conditioning and light a cigarette when they stop to rest or wait for someone in the car, thinking it feels refreshing. However, with the windows and doors closed, the smoke cannot escape quickly, causing other passengers to inhale secondhand smoke. Do not turn on the air conditioning immediately upon entering the car: When the weather outside is hot, the inside of the car can be even hotter. Many car owners' first instinct may be to turn on the air conditioning as soon as they get in. This not only results in poor cooling efficiency but also increases the pressure on the engine during its initial operation, causing some wear and damage to the engine. Therefore, it is generally recommended to wait a few minutes after starting the car before turning on the air conditioning.
