Does the Air Conditioner Stay On After Removing the Car Key?
1 Answers
The air conditioner will not stay on after removing the car key. The power for the air conditioner comes from the engine, so once the key is removed and the engine stops running, the air conditioner naturally loses power and shuts down. However, it is advisable to turn off the AC switch before restarting the engine, as otherwise the starter motor will bear a heavier load. Here are some precautions for using the car air conditioner: 1. Turn off the air conditioner before shutting down the engine: Most drivers are accustomed to leaving the air conditioner on or letting it start automatically with the vehicle, which causes the air conditioning system to activate every time the ignition is turned on. This directly leads to a sudden high power load on the vehicle, and over time, it can drain the battery. 2. Remember to turn off lights and other electrical devices: Forgetting to turn off interior lights when parking and shutting down the engine is a common mistake made by many new car owners. After a night of consumption, the battery may run out of power at any time, making it impossible to start the car. In such cases, if conditions permit, simply recharge the battery.
