Do You Need to Turn on AC When Using the Car Heater?

You don't need to turn on AC when using the car heater. Here are some car air conditioning usage tips: Turn off A/C during startup and rapid acceleration: Since the air conditioning (non-independent type) consumes some engine power when activated, it's best to turn off the A/C during vehicle startup and rapid acceleration, and then turn it on after the car starts moving. This prevents insufficient engine power during acceleration and startup while also helping save fuel. Control the air vent direction: Based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, drivers can follow this guideline when adjusting the air vents: point them upward when using the cooler and downward when using the heater. Don't turn on the air conditioning immediately after exposure to sunlight: After a car has been exposed to sunlight, the interior temperature is usually very high. In such cases, drivers should not immediately start the air conditioning. It's best to first open the windows for ventilation and wait for the hot air to dissipate before getting in the car and turning on the air conditioning.
