How to Turn on Car Air Conditioning in Summer?
2 Answers
Car air conditioning systems are devices designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the vehicle. Below are the specific steps to turn on car air conditioning in summer: 1. Start the engine: Press the brake pedal and start the engine. Turn the key to the ST position to start the engine until the idle speed stabilizes. 2. Adjust the knob: Turn the fan speed knob to the far right for maximum airflow. Rotate the temperature control knob to the left to activate the cooling mode. 3. Press the A/C button: Press the A/C switch to turn on the compressor. Press the recirculation button to activate the interior air recirculation mode.
In summer when driving with the air conditioning on, I usually start the engine and let it run for a few seconds first, then press the AC button—that's the one with a snowflake icon or labeled 'AC'. Next, I turn the temperature knob to set it around 22 to 25 degrees, adjusting it higher if I feel too cold. Remember to turn on the recirculation mode, indicated by a button with a car and an arrow symbol, which blocks outside hot air from entering and helps the car cool down faster. Before getting in the car during summer, I always open the windows for a minute or two to ventilate and expel the stuffy air inside, then close the windows and turn on the AC—this makes the AC more efficient and saves energy. To avoid direct sunlight, I use a sunshade to cover the windshield when parking, reducing heat buildup inside the car. Occasionally switching to fresh air mode prevents odors, but don’t leave it on all the time to avoid wasting energy. If the AC stops cooling, don’t delay checking it—it might be due to a dirty filter or low refrigerant, which can affect safe driving. In short, following these steps ensures a comfortable journey, so don’t let the heat ruin your mood.
