How to Turn Off Automatic Hot Air in the Car?
2 Answers
It can be divided into manual air conditioning and automatic air conditioning, with the main principle being the same: the engine rotates, the A/C switch is turned on, and the electromagnetic clutch engages. Generally, you can turn off the automatic mode (Auto) and switch to manual (Manual) mode. Different automatic air conditioning systems may have varying controls.
I recently encountered an issue with the automatic AC blowing hot air, which was quite annoying. To turn it off, the simplest method is to locate the button labeled OFF on the AC control panel and press it once to shut down the entire system. If the OFF button isn’t obvious, check around the center console or steering wheel—most cars have it. Alternatively, adjust the temperature settings: rotate the temperature knob to the blue zone, such as setting it below 20°C, so the system won’t randomly blow hot air. Another way is to turn off the fan: lower the fan speed knob to the lowest setting, and with less airflow, it naturally won’t feel hot. If the system is in AUTO mode, manually switch to non-auto mode for easier control. I recommend regularly checking the recirculation settings—turning on recirculation can reduce the intake of external hot air. These small tips helped me save a lot of unnecessary fuel consumption, as prolonged use of hot air increases engine load. In short, just try pressing the panel buttons more often.
