To turn on the air conditioning in BAIC New Energy vehicles, follow these steps: 1. After starting the vehicle, turn on the fan without activating the air conditioning; 2. Allow the fan to blow out the contaminated air from the air conditioning system, as well as the hot air inside; 3. After running the fan for natural air for 5 minutes, press the air conditioning button to activate the cooling function. Taking the 2019 BAIC New Energy EC3 Lingdong Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3684mm, width 1630mm, height 1518mm, with a wheelbase of 2360mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 4-seat hatchback, and the curb weight is 1140kg.
Operating the BAIC New Energy's air conditioning is quite straightforward. Let me start with the basic steps. After getting in the car and starting it, wait until the dashboard shows 'Ready.' Then, locate the air conditioning control area on the center console—there’s usually an AUTO button. Press it, and the AC will start running automatically, adjusting the fan speed based on the cabin temperature. If you prefer manual temperature control, use the adjacent knob: turn it clockwise to lower the temperature or counterclockwise to raise it. Setting it around 25°C usually feels comfortable. You can also adjust the fan speed with dedicated +/- buttons. Don’t forget to check the air recirculation mode—start with recirculation for quick cooling, then switch to fresh air mode for better ventilation. For safety, adjust settings while parked to avoid distractions while driving. When the AC is on, the fan noise is normal and nothing to worry about.
