How to Turn Off the Air Conditioning in the Highlander?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the air conditioning in the Highlander is to press the AC button. The functions of the car air conditioning are: 1. To cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the car; 2. To provide a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and improve driving safety. Taking the 2020 Highlander as an example, it is a midsize SUV with body dimensions of: length 4890mm, width 1925mm, height 1715mm, wheelbase 2790mm, and fuel tank capacity of 72.5L. The 2020 Highlander features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 220PS, maximum power of 165kW, and maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When I drove the Highlander before, I found turning off the AC was quite simple. Just locate the round knob with the fan symbol on the center console's AC panel, rotate it counterclockwise to the far left until you hear a 'click' sound to shut it off. For newer models, there might be a physical 'OFF' button below the touchscreen—just press it. Remember, don't just press the A/C button as that only turns off the compressor while the fan keeps running. Before turning off the AC during long drives, it's advisable to open the windows for ventilation to prevent windshield fogging. Also, when you just turn off the engine, the system has a 30-second automatic air-blowing mode designed to prevent odors—no need to interfere with it.
