When I first got familiar with the Trumpchi GS4, I was a bit confused about using the air conditioning. The first step is to start the engine; otherwise, the compressor won't work—this is crucial. Then, locate the button with a snowflake symbol or marked 'A/C' on the dashboard in front of the driver's seat, and press it gently to activate the cooling function. Next, adjust the temperature knob, usually turning it to the left or towards the blue zone to indicate cooling. The fan controls the airflow—I recommend setting it higher initially to cool the car quickly. Don't forget to select the mode, such as the vent direction. I often use the 'face' or 'mixed' mode to distribute the cool air evenly. If the weather is hot, press the recirculation button to lock in the cool air and prevent hot air from entering, improving cooling efficiency. But don't use it for too long to avoid poor air circulation—switch to fresh air mode after a few minutes. The automatic function is quite handy—just press the 'AUTO' button, and the system adjusts the temperature and fan speed automatically, which is especially suitable for beginners. I once tried checking the AC filter before driving in summer—regular maintenance ensures long-lasting cooling performance. Remember to press the buttons gently without excessive force. The GS4's design is simple and intuitive, and once you're familiar with it, it takes just seconds. After turning on the AC, ensure the engine sound remains steady to avoid excessive fuel consumption from prolonged idling with the AC on. These tips helped me easily handle summer driving.
