Should the Air Conditioning Be Turned Off Before Turning Off the Car?

It is necessary to turn off the air conditioning before turning off the car. If the air conditioning is not turned off before shutting down the engine, the air conditioning will automatically turn on the next time the engine is started, which unnecessarily increases the load on the engine. The correct procedure is to first turn off the air conditioning, then switch to the external circulation mode, allowing the blower to dry the water droplets on the evaporator before locking the car. The entire process takes about two minutes. Below are some tips for air conditioning maintenance: 1. Comprehensive air conditioning inspection: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it is advisable to check the air conditioning system, such as inspecting the refrigerant through the reservoir, checking if the air filter is too dirty, and whether there are any foreign objects on the radiator. 2. Pay attention to air conditioning cleaning: The air filter should be replaced regularly to prevent moldy odors. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and for thorough cleaning, the radiator should be removed.
