Does Running the Air Conditioner in the Car Damage the Vehicle?
1 Answers
Sitting in the car with the air conditioner running does not damage the vehicle. Here are some precautions regarding the use of the car air conditioner: 1. Running the air conditioner for extended periods: This can cause some wear to the vehicle, but the impact is not significant. The car won't break down, but it may lead to increased engine wear, potentially requiring more frequent maintenance (such as oil changes and other upkeep). 2. Avoid idling with the air conditioner on: It is not recommended to idle the car with the air conditioner running for long periods. Prolonged use of the air conditioner in recirculation mode can lead to a gradual buildup of polluted and harmful gases (such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides) inside the car, posing risks to health and even life safety. Please exercise caution.
