How to Open the Rear Air Vents in the Wildlander?
2 Answers
The rear air vents in the Wildlander can be opened by simply rotating the knob to the 'on' position. The knob is located behind the center console. The car air conditioning system is an air conditioning device installed in the vehicle, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin. It generally includes a cooling unit, heating unit, and ventilation system. Here are the methods for cleaning the car air conditioning system: 1. Replace the Dust Filter: Replacing the dust filter is the simplest method, which is cost-effective and ensures smooth airflow. Most car owners with basic mechanical knowledge can do it themselves. In most compact cars, the dust filter is located under the windshield, covered by the rain tray. To replace the dust filter, first open the engine hood, remove the clips securing the rain tray, and then take out the rain tray to access the dust filter. If the dust filter hasn't been used for long, it can be cleaned with compressed air. 2. Disinfect the External Air Circulation Duct: Remove the dust filter, start the vehicle, and turn on the air conditioning to the external circulation mode. Spray foam cleaner onto the dust filter area. The external air circulation will draw the cleaner into the duct, disinfecting the duct, air conditioning evaporator, and heater core by breaking down bacteria and eliminating odors. The dirt will turn into liquid and drain out through the air conditioning outlet. After cleaning, it's best to replace the dust filter, ensuring fresh air flows from the vents.
I'm used to driving the Wildlander, and turning on the rear air vents is quite simple. First, start the car's engine to get it running. Then, locate the air conditioning button on the front center console and press it to activate the AC system. If the AUTO mode is on, even better—it automatically adjusts based on the cabin temperature. Next, focus on the airflow mode: use the directional control button or knob on the panel to select the setting with a rear-seat symbol, such as turning to a rear-facing airflow icon. Alternatively, some Wildlander models have an independent airflow knob behind the center armrest—just twist it to activate the rear vents. In practice, the rear vents are usually located on the ceiling above the rear seats or near the center console, and once turned on, it cools down quickly. On long drives, I always remember this to ensure rear passengers stay comfortable, avoiding a situation where the front is too cold while the back is hot. I recommend turning on the external circulation for a few minutes to ventilate before switching to internal circulation, improving AC efficiency. The Wildlander's AC system is well-designed, with good temperature balance.
