How to Adjust Car Air Conditioning for Cooling and Heating
2 Answers
Simply turn on the air conditioning switch, then press the A/C button, and rotate the cold/hot conversion knob to the blue position. Turn on the air conditioning switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the red position. The A/C button is for cooling function, do not activate it when using the heater.
I find adjusting the car's air conditioning for cooling or heating quite straightforward, mainly by focusing on the buttons and knobs on the center console. Take my own small car as an example: there's a large knob marked with blue and red colors. Turning it to the blue zone activates cooling, while the red zone is for heating. For cooling, first press the AC button (marked with a snowflake or AC symbol), then adjust the knob to the cooling section—fan speed can be adjusted separately for intensity. For heating, don’t press the AC button; just turn the knob to the heating section, and the fan can also speed up to warm the cabin faster. If the car has an automatic function, simply press the AUTO button and set the desired temperature for full automation.
A few tips: in summer, when it's extremely hot, avoid blasting the coldest air immediately after getting in the car. Instead, use the external circulation and open the windows for about 5 minutes to ventilate before turning on the AC—this protects the engine and saves fuel. In winter, using internal circulation heats up the cabin faster, but don’t keep it on continuously to avoid stuffiness. Also, regularly cleaning the AC filter during maintenance prevents odors and ensures optimal performance.
