To turn on the air conditioner in a Nissan Qashqai, follow these steps: 1. There are adjustment knobs on both sides of the screen; turning them left or right can increase or decrease the temperature. 2. You can also press the automatic air conditioning button to automatically adjust the temperature. The Nissan Qashqai's air conditioner uses mechanical buttons, and the corresponding functions can be activated by setting them on the control panel. For example, to turn on the internal air circulation, press the button on the left side of the air conditioning control panel. Once activated, the air inside the car will continuously circulate. The external circulation mode allows air from outside the car to exchange with the air inside. The heating principle of the air conditioner works by utilizing the temperature of the engine coolant. Simply increase the temperature setting on the air conditioner to achieve the heating effect.

I found it quite straightforward to turn on the air conditioning in the Nissan Qashqai. First, you need to start the vehicle and let the engine run for the AC to work. Then, simply locate the round button labeled 'AUTO' on the center console—pressing it activates the system to automatically adjust based on the interior and exterior temperatures, eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments. If you prefer manual temperature control, there's a rotary knob on the right side; turning it allows you to increase or decrease the set temperature—for example, setting it around 22°C for a cooler feel in summer or above 24°C for warmth in winter. You can also adjust the fan speed with a button that increases or decreases airflow or lets the system control it automatically. By the way, in auto mode, the system can automatically switch between recirculation and fresh air to maintain air quality, while manual mode lets you choose. Pre-cooling or heating the car before driving is essential for comfort and avoiding distractions from extreme temperatures, but always ensure the vehicle is in a safe location when operating the AC.

My family finds the air conditioning in our Qashqai very convenient and quick to use. After starting the car, I immediately press the 'AUTO' button, and the air conditioning starts running automatically, remembering the temperature setting from my last use, which is extremely hassle-free. For situations with children, I adjust the temperature knob to around 22 degrees to prevent overheating, and use the fan speed button to control the airflow so it's not too strong for the kids. Sometimes, I use the recirculation mode to keep the air fresh, especially when outside pollution is high—it automatically switches on to reduce dust intake. If the car feels stuffy in the morning, pressing the 'AC' button cools it down faster. In winter, I turn on some warm air to heat up the cabin. I haven’t encountered any issues in daily use, but occasionally, the vents get clogged with dust, so I clean the filter area with a damp cloth to prevent odors. The Qashqai’s automatic air conditioning is user-friendly, ensuring proper temperature control for family trips and a comfortable journey without any discomfort.

Let me talk about operating the air conditioning in the X-Trail. The basic steps are straightforward: start the engine, press the center console button like 'AUTO' to activate automatic mode, then set the desired temperature using the temperature knob. The system automatically adjusts fan speed and circulation based on sensor feedback; when manual control is preferred, simply press the relevant buttons to operate.
