How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
To turn on the air conditioning in a Volkswagen, follow these steps: 1. For cooling: Press the A/C button, turn on the fan switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the blue side for cold air, adjust the fan speed, and set the desired temperature. 2. For heating: Turn off the A/C button, turn on the fan switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the red side for warm air, adjust the fan speed, and set the desired temperature. 3. Additional information: The A/C button in a car controls the compressor. The car air conditioning system includes not only the compressor but also components like the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. To get cold air, you need to turn on the A/C switch; otherwise, the system will only operate the blower, delivering air at ambient temperature.
I just picked up a Volkswagen Magotan, and the air conditioning controls are actually quite simple. First, start the engine, then look for the large round button with three small fan icons in the center console—turning it clockwise increases the fan speed. Temperature control is even more intuitive: the left knob labeled LO/HI adjusts between cold and warm air, with the blue zone for cold air and the red zone for warm air. To activate AC cooling, press the snowflake button in the middle of the round knob—it only cools when the light is on. Remember, on rainy days, press the button with the fan and arrow symbol to defog the windshield, and the square button with wavy lines for rear window heating. The new digital instrument cluster even displays the set AC temperature, which is very convenient.
