It is necessary to use car air conditioning properly, especially in hot weather. |
When the car is not started and the air conditioner is turned on immediately, the battery will have to work to run the fan. If this happens frequently, the battery's life will decrease very quickly. When the engine is turned off without turning off the air conditioner, the battery will also be affected due to the sudden load. If the air conditioner is turned on immediately after starting the car, it will consume a lot of energy and take a long time to cool due to the hot air currents inside, and this will affect the life of the cooling system.
Therefore, you should start the car before turning on the air conditioner and turn off the air conditioner before turning off the engine. Start the car, open the doors to let the hot air escape from the car, after about 5 minutes of starting the car, turn on the air conditioner and adjust the wind level appropriately.

Lowering the car windows before turning on the air conditioner helps the heat in the car escape. Parts of the car such as the dashboard, leather seats, door panels and many other details are made of plastic. These details will give off an unpleasant smell when exposed to hot weather, lowering the windows will help the heat and unpleasant smell escape.
Therefore, before turning on the air conditioner, you should open the car windows, start the car and turn on the fan to blow all the hot air out for 5 minutes, helping the air in the car become airy. Note that you must roll up all the windows after the temperature in the car is suitable, to avoid letting the cool air escape and wasting fuel.
Adjust the wind properly after turning on the air conditioner
Adjust the fan mode appropriately when turning on the air conditioner, because when the fan is too high, it will consume electricity or cause discomfort when the wind blows strongly. If the fan is too low, it will lack the feeling of coolness. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the cooling temperature slowly, should not be at the highest cooling level, will cause the condenser to work too hard.
You should also adjust the air vent properly to avoid blowing cool air directly into your face, which can affect your health. You should also not blow air directly onto the glass, which will cause condensation on the car's glass.
