Why Can't You Turn on the Air Conditioning When the Car is Parked?
1 Answers
The following are specific reasons why you cannot turn on the air conditioning: 1. High fuel consumption: Keeping the air conditioning on while the car is idling consumes a lot of fuel because the compressor relies on the engine idling, which leads to incomplete combustion of gasoline and easily causes carbon buildup. 2. Toxic substances: Incompletely burned gasoline produces toxic substances such as carbon monoxide. If the car doors and windows remain closed for a long time, these exhaust gases can enter the enclosed cabin and accumulate to a level that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Idling with the air conditioning on emits more harmful exhaust gases than driving with the air conditioning on, as the idling condition produces relatively higher amounts of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides.
