How to turn on the air conditioning in Roewe RX5
3 Answers
Roewe RX5's air conditioning is turned on through the control switches on the air conditioning panel. Steps to turn on the cold air: 1. Turn on the A/C switch of the car air conditioning. 2. Rotate the temperature button to the cold air mode. 3. Adjust the fan speed button to set the appropriate fan speed for the cold air mode. To turn on the warm air, there is no need to turn on the A/C switch; simply rotate the temperature button to the warm air mode and then adjust the fan speed button. Precautions for turning on the warm air in Roewe RX5: 1. After starting the car, wait about 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to rise to normal temperature before turning on the warm air. 2. Adjust the air circulation mode to internal circulation. 3. Switch to the warm air mode, which is indicated by a red area on some cars or a sun symbol on others. 4. Do not turn on the air conditioning (do not turn on the A/C switch) as the warm air utilizes the car's own heat cycle, saving energy. 5. Adjust the air conditioning to a suitable level and set the air outlet direction. 6. The warm air should be directed forward and towards the feet, while the cold air should be directed forward.
As a seasoned Roewe driver, I find the RX5's air conditioning controls quite intuitive. After starting the vehicle, simply press the AUTO button with the snowflake icon on the center console, and the AC will automatically adjust fan speed and temperature. If it feels too cold, just turn the circular temperature knob clockwise – increasing the digital display by one degree immediately brings warmth. For rapid cooling, remember to press the MAX button, though this increases fan noise. During long drives, manually turning off AUTO and using the blue fan button to reduce airflow feels more comfortable. On rainy days when fogging occurs, directly pressing the扇形 defogger button works faster than auto mode. The recirculation button below the storage compartment is particularly useful in traffic jams, effectively blocking exhaust fumes.
After driving the RX5 for half a year, I've discovered some AC tricks: After powering on, ignore the screen and directly press the AUTO button on the center console for the most hassle-free operation—the system automatically balances the temperature. To adjust the temperature, simply turn the metal knob to the right of the driver, red for heating and blue for cooling. Reducing the airflow from the passenger-side vents concentrates cooling. On rainy days, pressing the defog button for five seconds quickly clears the front windshield fog. When carrying friends, activate the DUAL button for dual-zone temperature control, setting the driver's side to 24°C and the passenger side to 26°C for personalized comfort. A special reminder: the MAX button is for emergency rapid cooling, but it's too noisy for regular use.
