How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioner?
2 Answers
Method to turn on the car air conditioner: 1. Start the car, turn the temperature control knob to the cold side (blue end), turn on the AC switch and the fan (with settings 1-4), and you can also turn on the internal circulation; 2. In winter, turn the temperature control knob to the hot side (red end) and turn on the fan switch to get warm air. Method to turn off the car air conditioner: Set the fan speed switch to 0 to turn off the air conditioner. If the owner wants to turn off the cooling function while keeping the fan on, simply turn off the separate cooling switch. If you want the car air conditioner to produce heat in winter, switch the cooling/heating conversion switch to the heating area, turn on the fan switch, and adjust the fan speed to the desired setting. When heating, the cooling switch must be in the off state.
After starting the car, locate the air conditioning button or switch on the dashboard, usually marked with a snowflake or fan icon. Press the power button to turn it on. For manual AC, rotate the temperature knob to the cooling zone (blue section), adjust the fan speed knob to your preferred intensity, and select the airflow direction toward the windows or body area. Many newer cars feature an AUTO mode—just press it for automatic adjustment, eliminating the need to constantly monitor temperature changes. I always roll down the windows for a few minutes in summer to dissipate heat before turning on the AC, preventing fan overload. Also, pay attention to using recirculation mode: switch to internal circulation in traffic to block exhaust fumes, and toggle to external circulation on highways for fresh air. Don’t forget to clean the filter regularly to prevent odors—replacing it every six months saves more energy.
