How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in Volkswagen Sagitar?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Sagitar is equipped with a fully automatic air conditioning system. The air conditioning control area is located below the center console. When the AUTO mode is activated, the air conditioning system will automatically adjust the blower speed and air distribution. Below are the explanations for the air conditioning function buttons in Volkswagen Sagitar: 1. Temperature adjustment: The temperature on the left and right sides of the cabin can be adjusted separately. 2. Rotary regulator: The corresponding temperature can be adjusted. The temperature is displayed on the outer ring. 3. Blower speed adjustment: The system automatically adjusts the blower speed, or you can manually adjust it. The more indicators are lit, the greater the air volume. 4. Air distribution: The system automatically controls the airflow direction. You can also manually switch the airflow direction by adjusting the air vent direction button. 5. AUTO mode: When pressed, the indicator lights up, and the air conditioning system will automatically adjust the blower speed and air distribution. 6. DUAL mode: Combined adjustment of the temperature on the driver's side and the front passenger side: If the indicator in the DUAL button is not lit, the temperature setting on the driver's side also applies to the front passenger side.
I've been driving a Sagitar for over a decade, and using the AC properly is quite important. Don't turn on the AC immediately after starting the car—wait until the RPM stabilizes, then press the AC button with the snowflake symbol and turn the temperature knob all the way to the blue zone. At this point, the vents will start blowing cold air. Remember to set the fan speed to level 3 or 4 when you first start, then reduce it to level 1 once the car cools down. Don’t set the temperature too low; 22°C is ideal—too cold can make you prone to catching a cold and wastes fuel. It’s best to turn off the AC before parking and use natural air to dry the ducts, which helps prevent musty odors. Clean the filter once a month to ensure strong cooling performance in summer.
