Is it dangerous to sleep in a car with the air conditioning on?

Sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on is dangerous. When the vehicle is idling in place, the gasoline does not burn completely, and a large amount of gas can enter the car through the ventilation system in an enclosed environment. If a person stays in the car for an extended period, it can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are some additional tips: 1. If the driver must rest in the car, they should first park the vehicle in an open and well-ventilated area. Then, lower the window slightly by about two fingers' width for ventilation. Finally, switch the air conditioning mode from recirculation to fresh air intake to ensure proper air circulation inside the car. 2. Alternatively, the driver can run the air conditioning for a while until the temperature inside the car becomes comfortable, then turn off the engine and the air conditioning before resting. This will help avoid potential dangers.
