How to Turn Off the Auto Mode of Car Air Conditioning?

Method to turn off the auto mode of car air conditioning: Locate the auto mode on/off button on the car's air conditioning control panel and press it lightly to deactivate the auto air conditioning mode. Methods to adjust car air conditioning: 1. Find the AC control button on the air conditioning control panel and press it lightly to turn on the air conditioning cooling switch; 2. Locate the temperature adjustment knob for the driver's side on the air conditioning control panel and adjust it left or right to reach a comfortable temperature for the driver; 3. Find the temperature adjustment knob for the passenger's side on the air conditioning control panel and adjust it left or right to reach a comfortable temperature for the passenger; 4. Locate the air outlet volume adjustment knob shown in the diagram on the air conditioning control panel and adjust it left or right to the most suitable air volume for achieving a comfortable temperature.

I remember last time my brother taught me how to operate the car air conditioning's auto mode. Turning off the AUTO function is actually very simple—just press the button labeled AUTO on the climate control panel, and the indicator light on the button will turn off. After disabling it, the air conditioning system will no longer automatically adjust the fan speed and air vent positions, allowing you to manually control the vent direction and adjust the fan speed. I think it's better to turn off the auto mode when driving on highways because, in auto mode, the vents often blow air directly at the face, which can make you feel drowsy. By the way, some people mistakenly believe that lowering the temperature setting means turning off the auto mode, but that's not the case—temperature setting and mode control are two completely separate functions.

The other day I spent quite some time figuring out how to turn off the automatic air conditioning, and found the operation is similar across all car models. Just locate the AUTO button with the green light in the climate control panel, press it to turn off the light, and that means successful deactivation. You'll then see the auto icon disappear from the display, putting the AC in full manual mode. Interestingly, designs vary by manufacturer: Volkswagen systems turn off all automatic functions with one press, while Honda models can retain automatic temperature control separately. I've found that using max fan speed for quick defogging works particularly well after disabling auto mode, plus manual control reduces energy consumption by about 15% - quite a practical feature.

Turning off the car's auto AC mode is something I'm familiar with. Just find the button on the control panel with the letter 'A' or labeled 'AUTO', press it, and the indicator light will turn off when deactivated. The key point is that after turning off auto mode, there are three changes: first, the fan speed reverts to your last manually set memorized value; second, air vent switching requires manual operation; and finally, temperature control becomes fixed and won't automatically adjust based on cabin temperature fluctuations. I usually turn off auto mode in three scenarios while driving: when rear passengers complain about uneven airflow, when I need to focus airflow on the windshield for defogging, or when there's a strong AC odor requiring recirculation mode.
