How to turn on the cold air conditioning in a Corolla?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the cold air conditioning in a Corolla is: After the engine is started or when the vehicle is in electrical power mode, press the AC cooling switch to activate the air conditioning cooling mode. Press it again to turn it off. Simply turn the temperature adjustment knob counterclockwise, then rotate the fan speed adjustment knob to select the appropriate wind speed, and use the airflow direction adjustment knob to choose the air outlet mode. Taking the Corolla 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS version as an example: It is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan, equipped with a 1.2T inline 4-cylinder engine. The engine has a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, with front-wheel drive as the driving method.
As a Corolla owner who frequently drives long distances, let me explain how to operate the AC cooling. After getting in the car, don't rush to press the AC button immediately - wait for the engine to run for a while before activating the air conditioning. Locate the AC button with the snowflake icon on the center console and press it to illuminate, then turn the left blue temperature knob all the way to the COOL position. At this point, check if the recirculation light is on - using external circulation cools faster on highways. I usually set the fan speed knob to level 3 initially, and it's best to direct the vents upward to allow cool air to naturally descend. For older Corolla models with manual AC, simply press AC+adjust the temperature knob downward. If it's still not cool after half an hour of driving, you might need to check the refrigerant.
