After turning on the air conditioning system, press the A/C button to activate the cooling function. Below is an introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. 2. Function: It can filter the air, removing dust and pollen, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. 3. Classification: Based on the adjustment method, it is divided into fully automatic adjustment (using calculation and comparison circuits, controlling the adjustment mechanism through sensor signals and preset signals to automatically adjust temperature and airflow) and microcomputer-controlled fully automatic adjustment (using a microcomputer as the control center to achieve comprehensive and multifunctional optimal control and adjustment of the in-vehicle air environment).

I've been driving the GAC GS4 for several years, and operating the air conditioning is quite simple. First, start the engine to get the car running; otherwise, the AC compressor won't work. Then, locate the AC panel near the dashboard, usually with buttons and knobs—press the one labeled 'A/C' or with a snowflake symbol to activate the cooling function. At this point, turn the temperature knob towards the blue or cooler direction. I prefer setting it around 18°C, with the fan speed at level 1 or 2 initially for a more comfortable airflow. In summer, don't rush to blast the coldest air immediately—wait until the engine warms up before increasing the fan speed to protect the compressor's lifespan. Here's a handy tip: if there's an odd smell, the air ducts might be dirty. Regularly use the external air circulation or replace the cabin air filter periodically. On long drives, switch to internal circulation to save fuel, but don't keep it on too long to avoid CO2 buildup. Remember, don't point the vents directly at your face when the AC starts—I learned this the hard way after a few sore throats.

As a new car owner, I was initially clueless about how to turn on the A/C in my Trumpchi GS4, but now I've got it down pat! After starting the engine, glance at the center console and locate the A/C controls—pressing the 'AC' button until it lights up activates the cooling, which is the crucial step. Turn the temperature knob to the cooler zone; the lower the number, the cooler it gets—25°C is perfect for summer. Press the fan speed button a few times to increase airflow, and adjust the direction knob to spread the air from the vents. Practical tip: Connect your phone to the car's system via the app to remotely activate the A/C, saving you from a sauna-like car interior. Wait 5 minutes after starting the car before turning on the AC to avoid battery drain. From an eco-friendly perspective, setting a moderate temperature and avoiding extreme lows can save fuel, and replace the filter when it's dirty to ensure fresh air. Safety-wise, use the A/C to defog during rainy or foggy weather without distractions. The overall process is straightforward—just tinker a bit, and you'll get the hang of it.

Technically speaking, the air conditioning system in the Trumpchi GS4 operates on a refrigeration cycle. Before activating the cooling function, it is essential to start the engine to power up the compressor. Locate the 'A/C' button on the control panel and press it to initiate the refrigerant evaporation process in the evaporator, which absorbs heat and cools the air. Set the desired temperature (e.g., 22°C) using the temperature knob, and the ECU will adjust the compressor operation accordingly. The fan speed button controls the blower—setting it to level 1 offers quieter operation but slower cooling. Advanced considerations: Common AC malfunctions often stem from refrigerant leaks or dust accumulation on the fan, leading to reduced cooling efficiency, so regular maintenance checks are crucial. For hassle-free operation, the 'AUTO' mode automatically optimizes airflow temperature for energy efficiency, while switching between recirculation and fresh air modes enhances cabin air quality.

Can You Still Drive When the Oil Life is 0?

When the oil life reaches 0, it is not recommended to continue driving. Here is some extended information about oil life: 1. The vehicle's computer alerts you about oil life based on preset mileage. 2. If the oil life displays as 0, check whether it is due to a data error caused by not resetting after an oil change or prolonged disuse of the oil. 3. Engine oil has a shelf life and cannot be used indefinitely. The shelf life of oil depends on its condition. Unopened engine oil can last up to five years; leftover oil after a car service, being opened, has a shortened shelf life of about one year; oil already poured into the engine has the shortest shelf life, approximately six months. 4. While checking the car's oil, you can use an oil inspection filter paper to test if the oil has deteriorated. By dripping oil onto the filter paper, three important ring-shaped areas can be observed: the deposit ring, the diffusion ring, and the outer oil ring, which indicate the oil's contamination level, the dispersing ability of additives against contaminants, and the oil's oxidation level.

What are the causes of brake noise after vehicle startup?

Vehicle startup after the brake noise causes are: 1, too slow to release the brake caused; 2, the new replacement of the brake pads running-in is not in place; 3, sand particles into the middle of the brake pads and brake discs; 4, the brake disc fixing screws are lost or damaged; 5, the brake system failure. The brake maintenance methods are: 1, high temperature protection, to prevent the brake system corrosion, to prevent the brake pads due to high temperature surface bite, to eliminate the brake pads scream; 2, regular replacement of brake oil; 3, clean the brake discs, brake drums and any parts of the oil stains, dirt and friction dust, to maintain the brake disc heat dissipation good; 4, regular inspection of the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes.

What Causes the Brake Pedal to Be Hard to Press and the Car Unable to Start?

Here are the reasons why the brake pedal is hard to press and the car cannot start: 1. Vacuum booster pump leakage: If the car's vacuum booster pump leaks or malfunctions, the force required to press the brake pedal increases because the brake booster is not functioning properly. If it fails, the brake loses its power assistance, making it difficult to press. 2. Normal phenomenon: The inability to press the brake pedal after the engine is turned off is related to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies on the remaining vacuum assistance, but this will restore once the engine starts, and it is not a malfunction. Additional info: In driving, to prevent unexpected situations like sudden movement or rolling when starting the car, automatic transmission models are designed to require pressing the brake pedal to start. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the car will not start successfully. Moreover, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting an automatic transmission car. If started in N without the handbrake engaged, the car may roll. Therefore, the "press brake to start" design is entirely for safety considerations.

Is Brake Maintenance Necessary?

Brake maintenance is necessary. Only by timely servicing the components of the brake system and cleaning and lubricating the safety parts can the accuracy and safety of the brakes be ensured. Below are the phenomena that may occur if the brake system is not maintained for a long time: 1. Abnormal noise: The dust from normal wear of the brake pads accumulates near the brake calipers, and if not cleaned for a long time, it can cause abnormal noise; the sound-damping and vibration-damping plates of the brake pads, if not cleaned and lubricated for a long time, can also cause brake noise. 2. Abnormal wear: When driving on gravel roads, some particles may splash between the brake pads and brake discs, causing noise or abnormal wear. 3. Brake deviation: If the dust cover of the sliding shaft of the caliper is damaged, driving through water or mud puddles can cause the caliper shaft to rust and seize, the caliper to not return to position, reduced braking force, and brake deviation.
