Do You Need to Press AC for Car Air Conditioning in Winter?
2 Answers
In winter, you do not need to press AC for the car air conditioning. The correct way to use the car air conditioning in winter is: 1. Start the engine for preheating and wait until the engine temperature gauge reaches the middle; 2. Turn on the heating air conditioning and set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car; 3. After 2 to 3 minutes, switch the air circulation to internal circulation. The car air conditioning is an air conditioning device installed in the vehicle, and its functions include: 1. Cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin; 2. Providing a comfortable environment for passengers; 3. Reducing driver fatigue and improving driving safety.
I've been driving a taxi for fifteen years and never press the AC button in winter. That's the air conditioning compressor button, which only works for cooling and wastes fuel if turned on. Winter heating relies on engine heat—just wait for the dashboard water temperature needle to reach the middle position, then turn on the fan and adjust it to the red temperature zone for warmth. If the windshield fogs up, briefly pressing AC can dehumidify and defog, but remember to turn off the compressor button immediately after the fog clears. Keeping the compressor on for too long may wear out parts and cause temperature control issues. Remember, the heating function itself is free—don’t let the AC button needlessly burn your gas money.
