Leaving the air conditioning on while the car is idling for half an hour will increase fuel consumption, and over time, it can lead to carbon buildup in the engine. When the car's engine is running, if the gasoline in the cylinders does not burn completely, it produces high concentrations of carbon monoxide, which can lead to poisoning or even suffocation. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid turning on the air conditioning after parking in poorly ventilated areas to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and oxygen deprivation. Here is some related information about car air conditioning: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), commonly referred to as car air conditioning. 2. Function: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable environment and reducing travel fatigue. It also creates favorable working conditions for the driver and serves as an essential ventilation device for ensuring safe driving.

What Causes Brake Failure?

The reasons for automobile brake failure are as follows: 1. Lack of necessary maintenance for the braking system: excessive impurities in the brake pump, poor sealing, vacuum power pump failure, brake oil being too dirty or mixing multiple types of brake oil causing resistance to heat, leakage in the brake pump or sub-pump, or air leakage in the air reservoir or pipeline connections. 2. Severe overloading: under the effect of gravitational acceleration, the vehicle's motion inertia increases, directly leading to brake failure. 3. Improper operation causing mechanical failure: such as prolonged downhill driving causing the brake pads to overheat from friction, carbonization of the brake drum, and complete loss of braking function.
