What Are the Effects of Not Turning Off the Air Conditioning When Exiting the Car?
1 Answers
After the engine is turned off, failing to turn off the air conditioning can damage the battery's lifespan and affect the engine's efficiency. Below are precautions for using the car's air conditioning: 1. Turn off the air conditioning in advance: It is best to turn off the A/C button one or two minutes before parking and turning off the engine. This allows the air to dry the moisture in the air conditioning vents and pipes, preventing bacterial growth inside the air conditioning system and reducing odor. 2. Turn off the engine after turning off the air conditioning: If the engine is turned off without turning off the air conditioning, the next time the vehicle is started, the engine will have to start with the air conditioning load. Therefore, the best practice is to start the vehicle and wait two or three minutes for the engine to be fully lubricated before using the air conditioning.
