Should the car air conditioning be turned off when parking?
1 Answers
Car air conditioning should be turned off when parking, as leaving it on will cause excessive engine load upon the next vehicle startup, affecting the engine's service life. Here are precautions for using car air conditioning: Usage before parking: Turn it off a few minutes before reaching the destination. This allows natural air to circulate, bringing the temperature in the air conditioning ducts back to ambient levels, eliminating temperature differences, and thus maintaining relative dryness in the AC system to prevent mold growth. Usage during vehicle startup: The air conditioning should be turned on only after the engine has been running for two to three minutes and is properly lubricated. Incorrect operation of car air conditioning not only affects the system's performance and lifespan but may also harm the health of vehicle occupants.
