How to Turn On the Air Conditioning in an Older BYD Model?
2 Answers
Here are the instructions on how to turn on the air conditioning in an older BYD model: 1. Heating Activation: Turn on the air conditioning through the climate control system on the central display. Select automatic air conditioning, set the temperature higher, and click the automatic button or the auto key on the air conditioning panel to activate heating. 2. Precautions: When warming up the car in the morning, do not turn on the heating air conditioning immediately. Wait until the engine coolant temperature rises before activating the air conditioning. Do not set the air conditioning temperature too high, as prolonged exposure to excessively hot temperatures may cause drowsiness and affect driving. Additionally, avoid directing the warm air straight at your face.
When I first drove the older BYD model, I had to figure it out myself since the air conditioning controls were different due to the car's age. After starting the vehicle, locate the AC panel near the instrument cluster—typically, there are three knobs: the left one adjusts fan speed, turning from 1 to 4 gradually increases the airflow; the middle knob controls temperature, rotating toward the blue zone for cold air or the red zone for warm air to suit the weather; the right knob selects airflow direction, adjusting it toward the face or feet for comfort. Don’t forget to press the A/C button to activate cooling, or else it’s just the fan running. If the car feels stuffy in summer, I recommend first turning up the fan to blow out hot air, then switching to recirculation mode for faster cooling. Older car AC systems might cool slowly or be noisy, so remember to clean the air filter regularly or check the refrigerant to ensure efficient operation.
