How to Turn on the Air Conditioning Cooling in Qoros 5?
4 Answers
To turn on the air conditioning cooling in the Qoros 5, press the AC button and adjust the temperature and fan speed accordingly. The AC button on the car's air conditioning control panel serves as the cooling switch. Pressing the AC button engages the compressor clutch, allowing the engine to drive the compressor. The Qoros 5 is a mid-size urban SUV under the Qoros brand, with dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1869mm in width, and 1676mm in height, a wheelbase of 2697mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 180mm. It is powered by a 1.6T turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I often use the air conditioning when driving my Qoros 5, and turning on the cooling is not difficult. After getting in the car and starting the engine, wait for the engine speed to stabilize. Then, locate the air conditioning control area on the center console, press the round AUTO button to activate the automatic cooling mode, and rotate the temperature knob clockwise to around 18-22°C, which is generally ideal. The system will automatically adjust the fan speed and airflow. If the airflow is too strong, it might be too noisy, while too weak may slow down cooling. After trying a few times, I found 22°C works best. If there's no effect right after starting, check if the air filter is clogged or visit a shop to top up the refrigerant. Remember to maintain the air conditioning system regularly—replacing the filter before summer can improve performance, saving fuel and enhancing comfort.
As an enthusiast who frequently works on cars, I find operating the cooling system in the Qoros 5 quite straightforward. Turn the key to the ignition position, let the engine run to provide power, press the AUTO button on the AC panel to start cooling automatically, then rotate the temperature knob to lower it to around 20°C – this activates the compressor to blow cold air. The fan speed control knob also allows for manual fine-tuning based on outdoor temperatures; on hot days, set the temperature to the lowest setting. Avoid blasting maximum air immediately upon startup, as this places excessive load on the AC system. Regularly keep the condenser clean and prevent dust from clogging the radiator fins to extend its service life.
Having driven the Qoros 5 for many years, my experience is: After starting the vehicle and the engine runs normally, immediately press the AUTO button on the center console. The system will automatically start cooling, then rotate the temperature knob to the cool color zone such as 18°C. The fan switch controls the airflow intensity, just use it in combination. Simple, practical, fast to operate, and safe.
