Is it okay to leave the car parked on the roadside with the air conditioning on?

[VonHarmony]

It is not advisable to leave the car parked on the roadside with the air conditioning on. The impacts of idling with the air conditioning running are as follows: 1. Carbon buildup: Prolonged idling can lead to carbon buildup in the engine, which causes incomplete combustion of gasoline, resulting in engine shaking. Carbon deposits in the engine reduce engine power, causing uneven power output and gradual degradation. 2. Increased fuel consumption: This leads to higher fuel usage, increasing financial burden. 3. Difficulty starting: Cold starts become difficult, meaning the car may have trouble igniting and starting. 4. Safety hazards: Severe carbon buildup in the combustion chamber can cause cylinder knocking, produce noise during low-speed acceleration, damage pistons and crankshafts, and lead to engine overheating, significantly compromising vehicle safety.
