2 Answers
To turn on the air conditioning in a Volkswagen Santana, follow these steps: 1. First, turn on the fan switch; 2. Then, turn on the AC switch located below the fan switch. Taking the 2021 Santana Manual Fashion Edition as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4475mm, width 1706mm, height 1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. The 2021 Santana Manual Fashion Edition is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power speed of 6100 rpm and a maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Santana for several years, and the first thing I do after starting the engine is turning on the air conditioning. There are three knobs on the dashboard: the left one is the fan speed knob, turn it to 1 or 2 to start; the middle knob adjusts the temperature, turn towards red for warm air and blue for cool air; the right one sets the air vent direction. In summer, don't forget to press the A/C button to activate the cooling, while in winter, turn it off and use the engine's warm air to save fuel. Don't keep the recirculation switch on all the time, otherwise, the windows will fog up, affecting safety, especially on rainy days—it's recommended to switch to external circulation every 10 minutes for fresh air. When waiting in the car, turn off the A/C but keep the fan on low to save fuel. Regularly changing the cabin air filter is also important, about once a year, to keep the air fresh and avoid odors and energy waste when using the air conditioning.
