Does the Air Conditioning Also Need to Stop During Engine Start-Stop?
1 Answers
During engine start-stop, the air conditioning also needs to stop working, as the air conditioning cannot be used when the engine start-stop technology is active. Below is additional information: Air Conditioning Compressor: The air conditioning compressor operates only when the engine is running. If the engine start-stop function is frequently activated, the lifespan and cooling efficiency of the air conditioning compressor may decrease. Engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Engine Start-Stop Technology: If the vehicle is driving on a steep slope, it is advisable to avoid using the automatic start-stop function. Although the start-stop duration is brief, the engine's start-stop on a slope might lead to insufficient brake assistance. Turning Off the Automatic Start-Stop Function: During extremely hot weather when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, it is best to turn off the automatic start-stop function. This is because the air conditioning requires significant power consumption, and the vehicle's electrical system might not provide enough power to operate the air conditioning when the engine is off, potentially causing discomfort for passengers.
