How to turn on the air conditioning in the Bora?
3 Answers
Methods to turn on the air conditioning in the Bora: 1. For manual air conditioning heating: Set the air circulation mode to internal circulation, use the temperature adjustment buttons to increase the temperature, press the AC button to turn off the air conditioning, and adjust the appropriate fan speed and air direction; 2. For automatic air conditioning heating: Press the AUTO button and increase the temperature. The Bora features a relatively flat grille at the front, integrated with LED taillights, paired with a delicate and refined metal mesh, and a continuous bumper surround, giving it a highly consistent overall appearance. The Bora's body dimensions are 4663 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688 mm.
I recently picked up a new Bora, and the air conditioning is quite convenient to use. After starting the car, locate the knob with the fan-shaped icon on the AC control panel—turning it clockwise activates the airflow. For cooling, remember to press the blue A/C button; when the light is on, it means the compressor is working. There are two temperature control knobs, allowing separate adjustments for the driver and front passenger. The red zone is for heating, and the blue is for cooling—just turn toward the red side if you want it warmer. If fogging occurs on rainy days, simply press the defog button, and the airflow direction will automatically adjust to the front windshield. To save fuel, avoid setting the fan speed too high when driving in the city—lowering the speed once the temperature stabilizes will be more energy-efficient. Also, remember to replace the cabin air filter annually to prevent dust from clogging the vents.
The secret to using the Lavida's air conditioning effectively is to make good use of the AUTO mode. Press the button with the 'A' symbol, and the system will automatically adjust the fan speed, compressor, and air distribution based on the cabin temperature. All you need to do is rotate the temperature knob to set a comfortable level, such as 25°C in summer for a nice cool feel. The airflow direction in auto mode is optimized for better distribution than manual adjustments. You can temporarily override the automatic settings with the fan speed buttons—for example, increase the speed by two levels if it feels too stuffy. On highways, it's recommended to use the fresh air mode (external circulation) to ensure air freshness; switch to recirculation mode (internal circulation) in city traffic to prevent exhaust fumes from entering. The compressor consumes a bit of power when activated, so if you feel the throttle response is sluggish during overtaking, you can temporarily turn off the A/C.
