2-3 minutes after starting the vehicle, it is generally recommended to first open the windows to allow the interior air to cool down, then turn on the air conditioning and select the external circulation mode. After the hot air inside the car is blown out, close the windows and switch to internal circulation mode. Below are some relevant points about car air conditioning: 1. Point one: The temperature setting of the car air conditioning directly affects the comfort of passengers. If the air conditioning is set too low for extended periods, it can easily cause colds among occupants. 2. Point two: The compressor of the car air conditioning is directly driven by the engine, so turning on the air conditioning reduces engine power and increases fuel consumption. 3. Point three: If the car experiences insufficient power while driving on highways, you can choose to turn off the air conditioning to improve engine performance. 4. Point four: Generally, car air conditioning consumes about 0.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Reducing air conditioning usage not only benefits the environment but also saves energy. 5. Point five: It is also important to note that you should avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately after a cold start, as this can accelerate engine wear.
