How to turn on the cold air conditioning in Great Wall VV5?
3 Answers
To turn on the cold air conditioning in the Great Wall VV5, press the AC button and select the fan speed. The functions of the air conditioning system are: 1. Achieve cooling effect through the continuous phase change cycle of the refrigerant; 2. Remove dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the car's interior to freshen the air, and humidify the interior air to increase relative humidity. Taking the 2021 Great Wall VV5 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4462mm, width 1857mm, height 1638mm, wheelbase 2680mm, fuel tank capacity 55L, and curb weight 1579kg.
Starting the engine and turning on the VV5's air conditioning is quite simple. First, I press the ignition switch to start the car and wait a few seconds for the system to stabilize. Then, I locate the air conditioning button area on the center console: press the A/C button to activate the cooling system, which engages the compressor to produce cold air. Next, I adjust the temperature control knob—I usually set it to around 22°C. The lower the temperature, the cooler it gets, but avoid setting it too low to prevent high fuel consumption. Adjust the fan speed knob or buttons to a suitable level, such as setting it to level 3 for quick cooling. If the cabin feels stuffy, press the recirculation button to prevent hot outside air from entering. Throughout the process, be mindful of the external temperature: in hot summer weather, the AC cools the car faster, but avoid blasting cold air immediately. Wait a minute or two after the car starts moving or roll down the windows briefly before closing them and adjusting the temperature. Finally, ensure the AC light is on, indicating the cooling system is active. After about half an hour, the cabin will be comfortable for driving. Regularly check the air filter to prevent clogging and maintain optimal performance.
Every time I drive the Great Wall VV5 in hot weather, I make it a habit to start the engine and wait for a few dozen seconds until the system operates normally before activating the air conditioning. I simply press the AUTO button on the center console to let the system automatically adjust the cooling temperature (AUTO mode is very convenient), or manually press the A/C button to enable the cooling function, while rotating the temperature knob to a lower setting, such as 20 degrees, and adjusting the fan speed knob to a comfortable level between 2-4. If the car is stuffy with hot air, I first press the recirculation icon for a few minutes to speed up cooling, then switch back to fresh air mode to maintain air freshness. My daily routine includes turning on the air conditioning three minutes before driving to pre-cool the car, avoiding frequent on-off cycles to save power, and being mindful of seasonal changes: occasionally using the defogging function in winter to prevent condensation, and remembering to clean the filter regularly to ensure the air conditioning system's longevity.
