How to Operate the Air Conditioning in the Tenth-Generation Accord?

After starting the car, press the AC button. Below is an introduction to the car air conditioning system: 1. Introduction: The vehicle air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, designed to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. 2. Working Principle: When the compressor operates, it draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser and liquefies, turning into a liquid. When the liquid refrigerant flows through the throttle device, its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for two years, and the AC controls are quite straightforward. After starting the car, simply press the AUTO button on the center console, and the system automatically adjusts cooling/heating based on cabin temperature. Turn the temperature knob to set your desired level—I usually set it around 24°C. Use the fan buttons to adjust airflow; sometimes I manually reduce it to minimize noise. The center screen also lets you toggle between recirculation and fresh air modes—I start with fresh air for ventilation before switching to recirculation to save fuel. With experience, I find AUTO mode the most hassle-free, as the system manages everything smoothly. Remember to replace the cabin air filter regularly to prevent odors, and avoid blasting high airflow immediately after parking outdoors in summer—it’s gentler on the battery. Overall, the design feels user-friendly and well-suited for daily commuting.
