What damage does forgetting to turn off the air conditioning when getting out of the car cause?

[Aurora]

Forgetting to turn off the air conditioning when getting out of the car can easily damage the starter and battery, and it will place a heavy load on the starter and engine during the next vehicle startup, potentially harming these components. Here are some tips for using car air conditioning: 1. Ventilate before turning it on: After the car has been exposed to prolonged sunlight, open all four doors and the sunroof to allow air to circulate inside for 3 minutes. This quickly lowers the interior temperature, making the air conditioning more effective when turned on. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: Recirculation blocks outside hot air, creating a sealed space inside the car, allowing the air to circulate rapidly under the air conditioning's effect for quick cooling. Once the interior temperature drops, it is recommended to switch to fresh air mode every 30 minutes to purify the cabin air, then switch back to recirculation after 5 minutes. 3. Turn off the air conditioning in time: Shut off the air conditioning 5 minutes before parking to protect the engine and save fuel.
